    Leaf problem (lots of pics)

    When I see yellowing on the moms I increase the watering accordingly. I don't change (increase/decrease) the NPK, I use the same NPK mix throughout.

    Help: Perpetual Grow Setup

    In a perpetual hydro grow there is no need to make a mix for moms and clones. When the res is changed I keep the spent res water from the budders to water the green room, moms/clone. In the green room it's drain to waste, like onto the berry bushes, flowers, etc outside. If you are using a 1kw...

    Can someone list some benefits of vertical growing?

    I did a 6kw horizontal grow for 20% and in eight weeks from snip to finish I got a little better than two lb's.

    giving defoliation during flower a try

    I worked in apple orchards for years. We prune the trees every spring, not to get more apples but to get bigger and better apples. Who would ever "think" that cutting off all those suckers that are loaded with "food producing leaves" would result in better apples. When I see that one of the...

    cloning from a topped mother?

    Another way to have better success with clones is to take the snips from a cloned mother. Snips taken from seed plants develop roots much differently than snips taken from a cloned mom.

    what can be wrong with my plant

    Put her in a spot where it'll get about 10-12 hours of direct sunlight during the day, and shade and night time for the rest of the time. Most of us in the north who know anything will grow on the westerly side of a building (or naturally shaded) blocking off direct morning sunlight during long...

    **EASY DIY $20 BUBBLE CLONER** A PICTURE HOW TO!

    The craziest cloner I've ever made was with a plastic child's wading pool, about 6' across and about 18" deep. I used rock wool, gravel, a piece of clear plastic to cover it and Stimroot number two powder. I covered it with about 320 watts of 4' cool white tubes. This bin could do 150 snips at a...

    Mother plant vs Clone of Clone and the Fibanachi Sequence

    All six of my moms are from seedlings started and FIMM'd under a 1kw hps, 12/12. I started this one with seeds that I collected by stopping in all the dope dealers on a trip across Canada. From that huge handful of Canadian seeds I got eight distinct strains, two of which were not worth keeping...

    Bagseed & MiracleGro Tomato ("the cheapsta'")

    The $5.00 bucket of MG that I did had flowers on it. The stuff I had melted after the bag was opened while at room temperature. So knowing this I scaled it with gram scales while it was fresh and figured it by the gram. Certain fertilizers should be kept in a cool dark place.

    Bagseed & MiracleGro Tomato ("the cheapsta'")

    I ran that MG that comes in a plastic bucket and is stored in little white bags inside the bucket. It turned the water blue and raised havoc with the ph color test kit. Despite all this, this fertilizer grew good bud with nice crystal. I used it until the the expiry date and tossed what was...

    Has anyone had ups open up their boxes when ordering lights?

    As a former taxi driver I can tell you that most packages are opened. When I delivered packages to be shipped for customers the box packages were opened right in front of me, envelopes, such as holiday cards, court documents etc weren't opened..

    Please help my clones arent doing well.

    I got into this soft rockwool thing because some new member asked me if it can be used. I never did get back on the thread but ya, it can be used. It just has to be done with the grain(through the side) instead of through the grain(top or bottom) like hard rockwool. I figure that a person using...
