Maybe I'm wrong on this but for me it seems marijuana growers should be a team, a bit of competition is ok but we need to work together to benefit the community. I owe the better portion of my knowledge to the growers on these forums, when I have a question theres always someone in our community...

So I broke down and got a big fat 6in 400+ cfm fan the other day. Temps were climbing and now that I'm using my tent to heat my house I wanted more power pushing the air from the hood. I ended up having to use a lot more ducting than I wanted to, at first it was secured to the roof of the tent...

You can add soil or not, won't make too much of a difference in my experience. As long as those lights are under your canopy the underside will grow and the top's growth will slow. It's ok to clean out the underbrush multiple times, just give a few days/week between major trimmings. All...

I never trust spike-in-soil moisture meters, never had one work well for me. ppm can be used in hydro or soil, when it comes to soil it just means the ppm of the water you use on it. Lower ppms are fine if you have a rich soil base, they just need to be raised later in flower as the plant...

After a better look at your leaves (hard to see but i get the picture) when I have had leaf burn like that (burnt serrations not just leaf tips) it has been a nutrient issue. I have never had it happen in soil unless I had mild root rot. how wet is your soil when you water? maybe try a higher ph...

Oh ya, was able to get about 5 oz out of it, just had to harvest early so only was able to flush for a week and the trichomes were still mostly clear so the high is very up and strong, hits like a truck then fades after about an hour, my patient seems to be enjoying it but its not ideal smoke...

Big update on my scrogs. Had to chop down one of the two Afghan/skunks that made up the U shaped scrog, it had been ph locked and I figured just flush it and move on, I don't plan on growing that strain again so no real loss. Now I can focus on the monster Violator kush plants in my 4x4 tent...

Your time frames may be a bit off, you may need to veg under the screen for a few weeks depending on the strain. Start 12/12 when your screen is mostly full but keep veg nutes for the first week. I slowly ween my plants off veg nutes during week 2.

Love it! you are stubborn, hard to buy weed when you have a room full of it growing but damn! Every thing looks really great, the lack of co2 doesn't seem to be hurting you that much, it really helps if your temps are high (82 or more) plus your room is sealed so you would be able to keep your...

Oh, and I love the use of the word "Cull" btw! word of the day!

I have a great pollination story! A buddy of mine went to a farm, in the Field there was a bunch of wild pot plants so he cruised around checking them out, they were a bunch of stringy, seedy trees that had been reproducing on this abandoned land for years. He then went home to tend to his...

It is true that the co2 from brewing is insufficient compared to other methods, I use yeast to buff the co2 levels in my room but the biggest amounts of co2 come in the first 4-5 days so i have to dump it and refresh the mix, if brewing beer you won't be able to leave the beer anywhere near your...

You can bring temps in a cab down by: 1. Lowering the temps in the room that houses the cab - a/c etc 2. Enlarging your in/outtakes 3. Getting a more powerful exhaust fan 200-400 cfm 4. All of the above. If your hood is properly vented this can help a ton, I just went from a 100cfm on...

Well, that turns what I knew on its head. guess I have to run my own test before passing along info I have gathered. Off to the gas store!

Do you have a massive exhaust? my estimate was not taking into account a heavy duty exhaust system, rooms I have seen with minimal venting use considerably less co2. I will admit I may be wrong, I'm mostly going off what other growers have stated before and a few smaller setups I have seen and...

Lol, your not spamming, your keeping this dying thread alive! 2-3 months is an average of a 5x5x8 space. I definitely understand budgets, I'm on one of the tightest grow budgets you can be on. I only charge my patient cost so any additions I make to my grow room have to be spaced out so they...

Oh, also; Refilling a tank costs maybe 20 dollars (20 lb tank) and should last 2-3 mo.

Quick math edit. tank and controller = 5.6 oz additional bud (35% increase) - $700 set up = v$1680 - $700 = net cost +$980

I would go back and read the thread, this has been covered. I give you this in short, Don't start to flower unless you are well established (60-80% full) or you will end up with buds growing under the screen = immature trichomes = smaller yields.

In general I agree with Legally (shocker) I will say this, the up front cost of a cO2 tank and regulator is daunting but just a tank and regulator is similar in cost to 6 months of using the bucket (assuming you buy a refill after the first 3 months). A regulator and tank are about 250 all told...
