    Amber tricombs

    I have one of those too, and that the main instrument I use to determine tich development. I cut a very small sample, as flat as possible, like a sugar leaf tip and put it on a flat dark surface and put the scope over it where the sample fits in the clear housing of the scope. You can get a much...

    Hydroponics

    I love hydro, I think it's a lot of fun and easy once it's dialed in. Lots of great info in the hydroponics dwc section if you are ever looking for specific help. Can't wait to see what it does for you!

    Hydroponics

    Glad to help, I went through all the issues with a diy rdwc system myself. Make sure you use a sterilizer or a beneficial to keep root issues under control. A wet/dry vac is a must for a hydro grow, also, imo. I used some 2" rubber couplers from lowes to join the system, so each bucket can be...

    Hydroponics

    Nice rdwc setup. Looks nice! I drain mine by putting in a small pump into the control bucket and just pumping it down the drain. If I'm just doing a rez change, I don't worry about the residual water left over and if I need to empty the entire thing, I pump the water out then use a shop vac...

    Is the Lucas formula legit?

    Good to know on dropping the cal mag at higher ec, also agree with ph-ing itself to 5.8. I always ran it all the way through, but only at like 2ml/gal. I'm going to drop it since I'm at 1.0 ec and everything is super green with no deficiencies. I even use lucas for my soil grows, cause I'm used...

    Is the Lucas formula legit?

    Works great! I use some grow early on, then drop it and go to a 1:2 ratio of micro to bloom plus a little cal mag.

    Question about Flushing DWC

    First part I meant that it's easier to wait until it's really really done, even if that means 75 days if you have plenty of canna already and you don't like trimming. Meaning I have more than enough bud from previous grows in jars and I don't like trimming, so I don't mind waiting, lol. When you...

    Question about Flushing DWC

    It's hard to wait until they are properly done unless you have plenty in stock and don't like trimming :cuss:. Hydroguard is the only thing I've heard of successfully working without chillers in a higher temp environment. I use it as well, but also have a chiller. Works great. Make sure you get...

    Trichomes drying up before harvest?

    Good chance they are not sticky up top because you keep touching them. I've never seen a dried out trichrome before. Do you have a scope to see if they are not developing correctly? I know what you are talking about, I've experienced the same thing, and I attributed it to touching them too much...

    Question about Flushing DWC

    I have not really noticed a difference fushing vs. not flushing. I agree, my goal was to let them use up all the stored fertilizer as as well. I didn't even start flushing until day 56 and they went to 69 days. The buds had stopped growing by day 56, where I only paid attention to the trics to...

    Question about Flushing DWC

    This issue has been open for debate for a long time. I've done it both ways. If I don't flush, everything is super green at harvest time. Last round I did flush and got good color change, and the nitrogen purge, but let them go longer too and only paid attention to the trics for harvest time...

    SinCity Seeds Info Thread

    Yeah, just running the 2x 600w in that tent. They vegged for about 3 weeks. I upgraded the buckets to the square 8 gal so I could get a bigger root mass and put the control bucket on the outside of the tent. Makes everything a lot easier. Finally got a blue lab guardian also. Nice not having to...

    BHO Shatter VS Rosin

    Where do I get the plates/dies? I can get a hf press with a 20% off for less than $100. Need some blocks to press into. My goal was to press some blonde kief into thin hash bars with rosin as the residual.
