    More Bud Porn! I swear, after watering with Sugaree last night, the room smelled AMAZING when I opened it today!! Just fucking delicious! Starting to see slight hints of purple coming in on the trainwreck.

    Here's a quick shot of the Purple Trainwreck, resin looks pretty solid. This was taken right after foliar snow storm application.

    I use Ceramics for veg. The phillips bulbs are DE HPS for flower. LEDs tend to focus in the 420/480nm blue and 630/660 nm red and nothing else. This has changed a bit since I messed seriously with LEDs. Those nm wavelengths basically follow the chlorophyll A&B "spikes" in photosynthesis...

    I'm literally giving away thousands of dollars worth of LEDs right now. I seriously will stab my fucking eyes out if I have to stare at that pink shit any longer. LEDs - Tricky. They tell you it replaces XXXXwatts but only uses XXXX watts! What a savings! Not quite. I'll elaborate more in...

    Yes, the lights are on when I take images. I shoot through my Method 7 Resistance glasses for "white balance" because I'm lazy/tired every night when I get to the garden. At the finish I'll have to bust out the Canon 1Ds and do some real shots/macros.

    "Problems" to me is a relative term. My issue is ceiling height, so I have wound up with a bit of leaf curl in the past. I use silica religiously to increase water retention, but a higher ceiling would be preferred when running full bore. For low ceilings/hobbyists (which I suppose I can...

    I flood my veg space right now for ease. I will be redesigning my drip system next run and doing less plants (6/light) in big mamas to test yield potential, run new strains, and look at scalability for when I have the space to throw up ~7-8k. I think top drip is the way to go, depending on...

    I have a co-worker running a double ended Ushio bulb (1900um) in the new Phantom 6" DE AC hood. He water cools his grow so I hooked him up with some 6" ice boxes. He's supposed to throw the PAR meter under it tonight. He says his Blueberry Headband is ~ 8" from the hood, no heat stress yet. I...

    Sorry for the late posting. Had to swap in a new AC today, grab a new strain for the breeding project, and worked a long day doing inventory. I have run the double ended bulbs as close as 16" OPEN HOOD. Yes, you will see leaf heat curl. The Plasma is very cool, in terms of heat output. Here are...

    Wow. Ok, so it's been a long week, and I'm starting off a journal on my current grow, so that hopefully others can add advice, and observe my results while demo-ing some of the newest grow gear. BACKGROUND: I have been growing for 5 years. I have grown in just about every medium/method I know...

    Rolling leaf edges? Need advice!

    They look fine to me. All your parameters seem to be good. Only thing I'd comment on is how high up your lights are. Fluorescent lights do not have the intensity of the HID lamps, and as such are generally suggested to be kept between 2"-4" above the canopy for optimum results.

    Nice! I'm running the same strain under 2k, and boy are they frosty, with some monster colas.

    2nd DWC Grow Prep A little Input needed.

    First off, R/O water allows for more stable pH. Unstable pH leads to adding pH up/down and affects PPM with relatively useless chemicals being added that don't benefit growth. As far as nutes go, GH Micro/Bloom + CalMg can do you just fine, and is very simple. You can go LUCAS, and even...
