    Soil ph question??

    I'm no expert but if I were doing it myself I would use pH 8 water to rise it and pH 5 to drop it a little faster than just flushing with regular water. I think if you use too high or to low solution to buffer your pH it could damage the roots. ALTHOUGH my autos did sit in pH 4 water for a few...

    New 400W hps and 3x3x6 tent

    Looking good OP! You look like you have a good idea of what you are doing. Personally I like 1.5x the intake than the outtake to circulate air. If you put your thermometer at the canopy level in direct light it will read higher than the temp of your tops. I like to use a 20 buck laser...

    How many plants should I grow?

    OP, how much money do you have to spend? I can put together a shopping list for your situation. A lot of replies in this thread are pure trash. You can easily do what your are trying to do. If you tell me any average amount you look for to smoke in a four month period, I can use that to...

    O.G Kush Auto in need of a diagnosis please

    I see a lot of hype for fox farms ocean forest on here but to be honest a lot of people experience this problem. The solution is you have to fix the pH of that soil. Your runoff is going to be in the 4s or 5s I bet. You need to flush with a lot of water. I would think this would be quicker and...

    Can I Supercrop an auto?

    I did a lot of work on the ventilation of my grow tonight. I'm pulling cool air from an adjacent bedroom now and it's working like a dream. I didn't have a thermometer above the water until this week but I'm sure my temps were at 90F++ with lights on for this whole grow but now I'm sitting at...

    Can I Supercrop an auto?

    I have 3 White Widow Autos going right now in 35 gallon DWC. They were under 600w maybe a foot and a half under the bulb and after the sixth node they were barely showing preflowers so I topped them. Theyre just starting to hit flower heavy today or more accurately will tomorrow and the next day...

    Amphibians in growroom.

    Well I usually don't like to get things that aren't Prime, but this is the best I could find. It's a 12" Steel Hoop 18" Deep Mesh Bag 20" Wooden Handle Butterfly Net. Does this look strong enough to catch an eagle? I figure if it is not big enough for an Adult eagle I could catch a baby eagle...

    Amphibians in growroom.

    I've read online that certain amphibians and snakes can be good for naturally controlling bugs in a grow room. I was wondering if any of you have ever heard of anyone putting frogs, toads, lizards, snakes, etc. in their grow areas. Thanks

    Growroom Electricity Question

    get growing, the trench is still there so thats likely what I'll be doing. patrick, i may choke on my words later, but the a/c should work just fine here where I live. it needs to be around 80 with CO2. i also did calculate for all those things that you stated in my first post. Its my belief...

    Growroom Electricity Question

    I'm sorry, But what does that mean about my overall amperage? My house is 100, minus 60 that is going to the grow room. Meaning I've got 40 amps for a/c and appliances and if I go above that, assuming the growroom is running at full capacity. i think it could be next summer who knows. Ive...

    Y'all got me feeling dumb

    Both qwiz and i are sorry to have hijacked your thread. I'm sure the information you were looking for is in the thread, now you just have to decide which way to go.

    Y'all got me feeling dumb

    It's not that it seems like you're lying. You obviously know more about this than I do. You're going to have to quote me on where I said I was an expert or whatever, I don't claim to be. So iirc you run flip-flop power. Also you are not getting 8 Oz per light you are getting 8 Oz per ballast, am...

    Y'all got me feeling dumb

    If I were you, and I really wanted to just start with one plant, I would go with one LED light. Cheap ones from China seem to be okay from what I hear. But I promise you, as that thing starts to flower you will get really excited and want more, more, more! Plus with LED lighting all you need is...

    Y'all got me feeling dumb

    Bags are only good if it is air sealed for the most part. Unless the CO2 floats away and therefor the bag is useless. CO2 tanks work better though so... No harm using that. Might take up more space though.

    Y'all got me feeling dumb

    I just don't understand how your growing advice is taken as gold when it does not make any sense. The numbers don't add up. I'm glad you have four grow houses, although they may just be raggedy apartments. I too enjoy science and math as I have shown by proving that your numbers are not adding...

    Y'all got me feeling dumb

    The thing you gotta think is your room is 2x4. so the max radius of each plant is 1 foot. meaning if you have 1 you might as well have 2 to fill the other half of the room. SOG is Sea of Green. Main idea: lots of quickly flowering, small plants. Great for quick yields when you dont have a...

    Y'all got me feeling dumb

    How on earth can you pull half a pound a week with 1000W? There is no veg room here. And what is your dimensions? In a 4x4 tent the only possible way I can think to do that is planting 12 plants in 4"x4" rock wool each week and run 12/12 from seed with no room to spare. but even then i think...
