    Pure sativa 12/12 from seed???

    I've grown 12/12 from seed a few times with mostly positive results, the more sativa the better off they are. Indicas stay a bit to small, but still grow well, I've yielded from 1 to 4oz. very little lower waste or need for much lolly popping. currently I have 2 plants 12/12 from seed Here...

    I washed my buds all the time when using doc buds high brix grow method. Baking soda and Lemon juice half cup each if I remember correct, rinse and rinse again, shake the moisture off and hang to dry. And I at least rinse off outdoor plants . You wouldn't believe the bugs and bug poop that...

    Seedling leaf discoloration

    I think that's a bit close for seedlings, I have a 65w QB . For their boards they recommend 30 for seedlings, 24 after 2 weeks, gradually going to 18, then 12-18 for flowering. I didn't find any info on Lumatek site about hanging distances, nice looking light by the way. I occasionally...

    12/12 from seed

    I've had mixed results with the 12/12 from seed. What I've noticed is the more sativa leaning do better yield wise. You have to be careful with the main central cola for bud rot. You can top a vigorous plant if you catch it at the right time. I've had Papaya and Super Skunks yield 4oz each...

    you can see in the second pic on the right side riser the wick is at the bottom and there are little cuts outs for the wick to be exposed to the water. I checked today and she's drinking ok. I may drill more holes in the platform, I want to test it out as is for a bit.

    SIP question

    I'm a little late but it may be of interest if your still swicking. eliminate the perlite and just drape wick over some sort of plant support. first I used an old sip insert and made a wick from an old fabric bag, the plant did just fine but seeded a bit heavy. I've since cut out a hole in the...

    I'm getting a bit tired of scrounging for this and that for projects of mine so $13+9 shipping for 2 wasn't going to break the bank. it comes with 2ft of 1/2 inch wick and says to cut into 4 8 inch pieces. The plate risers are just under 3 1/4 inch so that leaves 4 3/4 inches up into the soil...

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    Doesn't say and it's manufactured under their brand name so no manufacturer info. I would think they would hold up for a few seasons outdoor and indoor no problem. I found this on their website today, same principal as the set up of mine I posted a few pages back. $150 is ridiculous. They show...

    @GrassBurner have you used this for a while, or are you just trying it out? How much water did it take to fill her to the level you want? That's a pretty high rise for water to wick up from the bottom.

    Fungus Gnats, problem?

    I've been growing organic soils for 11 years and have battled them for 11 years. A common occurrence is they're more of a nuisance from spring to fall. I haven't seen any for a few months now, but spring is right around the bend.. Yellow stickys are a must have for me.

    New grow Dr. Earth

    yes tap water. i strain the tea through a screen especially if I'm using a sprinkling can, or I pour all the stuff right on top and get a light topdress too. When I was helping another guy I made it in a 7g bucket and used old nylons and suspended it to hang in the middle of the bucket.

    New grow Dr. Earth

    my go to soils are Black Gold Organic or Promix Organic. I add about a gallon worm castings per/cuft. A little perlite if it's around but not always. I use 7g fabric bags but I'm always experimenting with different pots etc. I've used many different combinations of the DrE. Their directions...

    New grow Dr. Earth

    I've been using DrEarth as main nute for 11 years. I mix it right in the soil and feed teas made from either or both and olny topdress if needed, which is rarely. The Tomato and Veg and the Bud and Bloom is all you need. I've used the All Purpose Life pellets too, a little goes a long way. Keep...
