    hatred for being an atheist

    Why is this thread reminding me of H.G. Wells 'The Island of Dr. Moreau'? Perhaps it is all the "Big Thinks" and references to same. While they are surely a form of amusement to pass the time (and collect money in the case of professional Big Thinkers), it's just whistling past the graveyard to me.

    Dealership paid off my car loan?

    The odds of you getting a free car are basically nil. What probably happened is that the dealership runs all loans through Toyota's credit system since it is the easiest way to guarantee initial financing. Then, after the sale is made, your contract contains a dealer clause that gives them the...

    Need help ASAP!

    Chuck the superthrive into the garbage can, follow the directions from General Hydroponics (but use their lower end feeding recs) and see if that doesn't solve the problem. And I'm not saying that just because I think superthrive is a gimmick; problems are always easier to diagnose if you are...

    Co2 - Is the expense justified...?

    My opinion: when it comes to CO2 (in aluminum tanks), it is not so much about the cost of the equipment as it will pay for itself if used properly. The real issue is whether you want to deal with both the added complexity and getting your area at least semi-sealed so as to retain enough CO2 in...

    Hydroponics system for begginers?

    As long as you max out the reservoir fill right before leaving and are using pH stable nutrients with an air stone, leaving for a week is no problem with a rockwool ebb/flow system. That's a big part of why you buy such a system. A somewhat oversized reservoir is advisable. I've done it many...

    cloning problem

    You are all over the map with your process, and that is why you are failing. Get rid of the heat mat, that is only needed if temps dip below 68F or so. Read my posts on this thread for a reliable and very simple methodology that is 100% successful. EDIT: The pic of your humidity dome with water...

    My clones :) A lil help with coco N rockwool

    Have you tested any of your claims against a control? I have and can assure that my techniques work exceptionally well. Therefore, it is most assuredly not "disinformation". As for George Van Patten (AKA Jorge Cervantes) he has done a fair amount of work with rockwool and I have benefited from...

    My clones :) A lil help with coco N rockwool

    Again, rooting powder was developed for trees. I've tested it extensively and found that it is not needed for use in rockwool on this plant. It did absolutely nothing to improve either the quality or the speed of the process. Test it for yourself, the book writers are in the business of writing...

    My clones :) A lil help with coco N rockwool

    No, this is exactly what I do. And it works perfectly, a 100% success rate with the minimum required time/materials as is possible. The only change I've made in many years is the addition of the gro-smart tray. EDIT: Re-reading your post, I do of course agree that rockwool is not to be...

    My clones :) A lil help with coco N rockwool

    Simplified version: Soak rockwool starters for 24 hours in 1/4 strength nutrient solution. pH adjust the solution after that. Rockwool automatically has the correct air/water ratio, no need to shake. Remove cube and make a hole with a toothpick or not if you are using macro-plugs (they are slit...

    Fox farms trio vs G.H series... Bang for my buck...

    The GH Maxi series works fine, but start out with their lower recommended application rates. As for the Foxfarm solubles, I think their NPK ratios are whacked...and the same can be said about their marketing claims. High P bloom boosters are a good way to burn a plant.

    Everyone Has Their Own Little Trick. Whats Yours??

    Until the federal law is changed, I would advise against keeping such records of past activities.

    Everyone Has Their Own Little Trick. Whats Yours??

    I've tried my fair share of gimmicks to attain these goals and found them to be a waste of time and money. Just today I poured a bottle of Floralicious Plus into my compost bin. Not only did it screw with the pH in (aerated) ebb/flow hydro, but I discovered that "aromatic oils" are on the...

    can i shut inline off...landlord has some work to do.

    You want no noise coming from that room. I don't think anything is really going to silence the fan completely. Best bet is to have somebody at the place while he is working: that should encourage him to get the job done and get out as soon as possible.

    The Ultimate Odour Control Thread

    I think cardboard under the can would raise the height and thereby affect the spray "dose". What I wound up doing was just taking a small piece of duct tape and taping the bottom of the can to the unit housing. This prevents rotational movement and keeps the nozzle pointed correctly. Thanks...

    Neighbors ratted me out

    You did the right thing. Whatever it takes to stay out of a cage and deny resources to the enemy, that is victory. With any luck, fate will identify the rats and you will be provided an opportunity to provide them with a dish best served cold (i.e. revenge).

    There are two meanings to life, and they are very simple: 1. Survival 2. Reproduction Anything else is just fiction dreamed up by lazy bastards that want your money without having to actually earn it.

    Last two weeks of flowering with lights off?

    http://www.mjseedscanada.com/products-page/white-widow/ These guys claim that lights off during the last two weeks of flower produces extra resin. Sounds crazy to me, but I haven't tried it. Any comments on this (or similar) techniques appreciated. Quote from them: "To get the most out of the...

    The Ultimate Odour Control Thread

    I bought one of the ONA automatic mist dispensers. At a pre-set interval, it will spray a quick burst of aerosol. Good idea, but the dispenser itself is a piece of crap. By poor design, the spray head for the can will gradually move to the side over time and the spray will not exit the...
