Bump. I have 10 of these seeds on the way from Nirvana right now. I too would like to know more from growers experienced with this strain.

Wrapping is common. It's just creating a humidity dome. You want to remove it when the seedlings emerge from the soil so they don't grow into it. You could also pick up a humidity dome at a garden center. They only cost a couple bucks, and some have vents that open/close.

I have the 125 watt CFL from Hydrofarm with the Hydrofarm hood/socket. It's bright, but it has a tiny footprint. I use it for an area the size of a cut tray (10-inches by 22-inches I think). Your 4-foot t5s are going to have a lot better coverage. I think I would like the hydrofarm (and all CFLs...

Cotyledons always fall off. Sometimes seedlings grow slowly. I keep mine in a humidity dome, and they seem to like it. Seedlings are putting a lot of their energy into making roots so they can make leaves later. There's probably a lot of growth going on that you just can't see yet. Be patient...

Yes, it means parts per million. EC and ppm are different ways to measure the same thing. Here are some handy links: http://www.4hydroponics.com/convertPPM.asp http://www.gardenscure.com/420/hydroponics/96521-printable-ec-ppm-cf-conversion-chart.html

LEDs are getting better every day. You'll read and hear about people who were disappointed with them, but those people generally bought cheap LEDs or believed the marketing hype. If you replace 400 watts of CFL or HID lighting with 400 watts of quality LEDs, you will get better results, to a...

I did a Tangerine dream grow over the summer. I did 3 plants. The one that I took at 70 days had all cloudy trichomes, but turned out weak and flavorless. I wound up making hash with it that was just ok. The one I let go to 80 days had about 5% amber trichomes. The one I harvested at 87 days...

I just heard of Supernatural brand ferts for the first time tonight in another thread. I've never heard of this, but it's a great idea. If my hydro store had it, I'd try it.

It sounds like you have a decent solution for this grow. Just water them when the growth slows. On your next grow, add more perlite to your soil. That'll help them dry out more quickly. You could also try poking some drainage holes around the outside of the buckets toward the bottom. That'll...

I have a Da Buddah vaporizer that I use sometimes. For whatever reason, it aggravates my asthma. I still use it, because it's a very effective, essentially odorless way to get high. Vaporizers are alleged to be good for people with breathing difficulties. Maybe I'm the exception to that rule.

You could get an ActiveAir or EcoPlus 4-inch fan for around $100 and a Phresh filter for around $80. That would likely work for a space that size. From what I'm reading though, you may want to reconsider your grow area. You really need a good exhaust and intake for a successful grow. Your...

Lots of things cold cause lower trichomes...the strain being your most limiting factor, but also heat, humidity, amount of light. Since it's your first grow, don't worry about it; you'll do better next time. The plant looks ready to harvest to me. Very nice job for a first grow. Congratulations!

Sounds like a bad bulb to me. Maybe it was damaged during shipping. I have experienced the same problem (bulb sort of lights, goes out, tries again) with a bulb I had been using for 8 months. Like you, I was quite concerned...I didn't want to try plugging in a new, expensive bulb into an...

I just finished up some Tangerine Dream. I'm disappointed so far. The high on the 2 plants I grew from seeds are all head high. It's ok, but it doesn't give me that make you sit down like you just licked the Hypno-toad from Futurama high I get from a nice kush. The smell is fruity, but more...

The light has the right features: 3w diodes, multiple spectrum, and multiple lens angles. It sounds like a good lamp, and it's competitively priced. Unfortunately, I know nothing about the brand. Many LED sellers use hyperbole and outright lies to sell these lamps. So long as you know that...

I'm not clear whether you're talking about gallons or liters. They're not interchangeable terms. If you're using 1 gallon (not liter), you need 8ml of micro and 16ml of bloom. If you're using 2 gallons, you need 16ml of micro and 32ml bloom. Good luck to you.

The short sides of your reflector are going to basically throw the light straight down, and the long sides are going to spread the light out wide. Therefore, the wide sides should be placed so the light will spread across your 4-foot area. Make sense? I hope that was helpful. Edit: Just re-read...

Most peat based soils have some sort of surfactant already included (the good ones anyway). You could try soaking the soil for a bit as someone mentioned, but the best advice was from frmrboi, who said to use dish washing detergent. Don't use anything with perfume or anitbacterial poison in it...

It sounds like you have a lot of room without a lot of light. A light mover would most likely increase your yields. For an 8 foot by 8 foot room, 2 600 watt lights on light movers or 4 600 watt lights would be sufficient, but then you'll have to invest in heat extraction and possibly A/C...and...

Make sure that your extracts are not alcohol based. I wouldn't go to the market for some vanilla extract to dump in my reservoir. (I'm not suggesting that's your plan...just a caveat for anyone else reading.) There are plenty of products with flavors in them specifically made for hydroponics...
