Have enjoyed thread. I wanted to use this method or aero but went with flood and drain instead because I couldn't figure out how to handle the res changing with this method. You have provided the answer. I successfully grew a crop but did have res temps in the low 80sF at the end.

Yea I probably should trim of some of the stems that I left long but it would just be cosmetic because they are pretty dry now. I check them a few times a day looking for any sign of mold. I should have mentioned in the first post that this site has been my primary source of "how to do it."...

From seed 123 days 75 Days 12/12 GH 3prt Ebb and flow 600 HPS 4 plants finished all different strains Have been curing for a while some longer than others dry weight 289g/10.31 oz/.61 lbs .48g/watt

Not finished with first one yet but almost. *some nute burn *almost killed them when hose came off water pump in res (ebb&flow), but caught it in time before major damage like others have said previously, these plants are pretty resilient.

No pest problems yet. But its hot.

I have a nice 6 rack stainless steel dehydrator that can be set to 90degrees F. Would it cause me any problems to run the buds in the dehydrator for some time and go straight to the jars. I was hoping with its temps set to 90 and have a fan pulling the air out would work great as long as I...

I use a digital scale thats switchable from grains to grams. Used primarily for reloading ammo. It goes up to 50grams and is accurate to hundredths of a gram. You can get reloading scales pretty cheap now or pay several hundred dollars for them. I have one made by Dillion. It cost me around...

I was watering my tomatoes this morning and noticed something funny on one of the leaves. Turned out to be covered with young ladybugs. I carefully removed the leave and moved it to my special indoor garden and turned them loose even though I don't have a bug problem yet. I thought this was a...

Whats the trick to taking a normal picture under HPS lighting? All my pictures have a reddish glow even though my eyes don't detect this when looking at the plants. I couldn't find the answer using search.

I have been using no name Walmart totes, a big one that I use 20gal in and a smaller one that I use 10gal in. I bought two of each and doubled them up, just in case one started leaking. I also have extras just in case. No problems yet. Get the darkest you can to keep the light out.

Not yet. If its outside it may sometime, or you may spot preflowers/balls.

I am intersted in growing enough to cover our ass if things go south in the county and proper medical care is difficult if not immpossible to obtain. Can you use the raw paste that I've seen scraped of a cut "blub/flower head" as a pain killer? Must it be smoked or can it be injested orally...

Starting day 15 of 12/12 and four out of five are female.

On day eleven of 12/12 in ebb and flow, 600 watt HPS. One out of five turned out to be male. RIP. I took it and its two little brother clones and chopped them up and will scatter their remains tomorrow. I spotted the little balls as pictured in one of "Earls" post from a couple of years ago...

Thanks for the info. I thought they could show and blow quick but was hoping I would have at least couple of days to spot the pod before it discharges. I am waiting on five plants to show then I can get rid of the males and the associated clones in the veg room. I cloned for the first time...

I am in day eight of 12/12 under 600hps in flood and drain. I check plants at least once a day and so far can't see any indication of sex. How long from the time a male starts to show until a pod releases its unwelcome load? Or what is the fastest you have ever seen or heard of it happening?

ClosetGrowth, thanks for the info. I have read quite a bit and had some idea about smell, but have never been in the midst of a full flowering grow area. I don't have to worry about smell in the house. Depending on how far a really stinky plant smell will travel once its exhausted from its...

Well they are in the flower room now in a flood and drain 12/12 under 600HPS. I have plenty of ventilation in the room, a pretty powerful 6"canfan that runs 12/12 plus inline 4" vent boosters exhaust and intake that run all the time. I only have 4" boosters in the veg room plus oscillating...

Go to the big box hardware strores. I use small chains on my Floresents and yes adjsuting them takes a few minutes but I'm not too worried about them falling on my plants. I use metal hook attached to a ceiling stud to attache them. Lowes , Home Depot, and Walmart have everything you need...

Well I got no comments on topping up questions. How about the nute load on the added water. I have read that some just top up with water to res change and others add nutes to their top up water. How do most of you do it? I just added a gallon PH'd around 5 since res is higner between 6-6.5...
