I bought nematodes and yellow sticky traps, fuck em! It sure is lonely in here.

anyone know if its ok to do an azamax soil drench on a 7 day old seedling?

i just talked to the guy at the local store and he recommended AzaMax. I asked if he thought it would be ok for a young plant and his response was "I guess" Id like something a little more solid than that. I did a google search but nothing comes up about Azamax and seedlings. Any thoughts?

I have a 6 day old seedling going right now. When I go to check on her i sometimes see one little gnat flying around. I have tried to mash it but it is too fast. This is my first grow and I started in a clean closet so this thing most have come from the promix seedling mix i used. I am just...

thats a bummer about the mites, but it is good you caught them early and while the plants are still small.. Good luck.

Im sold. I did not think that they require special lighting. For some reason when I think about your strains I automatically think about growing them in super soil and your method of vegging for 60 days. 60 days of veg would not be good with cfls unless i had LOTS of them. I guess I would just...

I was wondering if anyone has tried to grow and tga strains under some cfls. I know, I know I will eventually get setup with some HID lighting, but for now I am working with what my current situation allows. I have been reading a lot about theses strains and I really would like to grow some out...

any regular socket will do, most of them are rated for quite a high number of watts. It should say on the socket somewhere. The bulb just has to have a medium base, which is the size of regular household sockets that take incandescent bulbs.

Thanks for stopping by. Yah, I love these little sockets, they mount super clean. There are 2 little holes in the bottom of the socket for mounting screws (see pic below), and I just used some small bolts that fit in the little recessed holes inside the socket. For extra support, I mounted a...

I have never heard of using baking soda to raise it, but I know that lime will do the trick. You could try adding 1 tbsp per gallon of soil. Work it into your soil as deep as you can, but try not to damage any roots. The lime will help to neutralize the ph of your soil even if the water you are...

Yes, ph is not as important in soil as it is in hydro, but if it is way off it can give you some problems.

have you checked the ph of your soil, or the ph of your water/nute mix?

thats what I am saying... you think it is supposed to happen.. I don't. Like I said earlier, look up uncle ben or riddle me. They grow amazing plants, that stay FULLY green the whole time. No yellowing of any leaves.

look up some info, or grows from uncle ben or riddleme. They talk about "keeping it green", meaning all the leaves. The fan leaves are the biggest leaves on the plant, so I would think that they can process the most light. I am not trying to argue or prove a point.

Your buds are filling in well, but the fact that leaves are yellowing is not a good thing. The more healthy green leaves your plant has the better it processes light, does what plants do, and that means more bud. I can't tell you what it is, but you should always strive to keep every leaf on you...

Hey bro hows it going? I have a question for you, how did you secure those light sockets in your reflector? I made a diy reflector and wanted to use sockets like that, but I couldn't come up with a way to secure them without making it look ghetto. I ended up using the big round white fixtures...

I would go with as many high wattage bulbs as you can. If you cannot use enough 85w to fully surround your plant then just add some more lower watt bulbs to fill in the "gaps." The higher the watts the better, but that is only true if you can keep your temperature in check.

I just ordered some 120mm fans and an external fan controller. I just hope I will be able to keep temps in check. If not I will just have to use less bulbs.

^^that is badass man! Thanks for the link

18'' x 30''.. that is almost 3.75 sq ft. So by what you are saying I should be able to use 750w. However, I do not think I am going to go with as many bulbs as I originally planned because I don't have a good way to ventilate. This grow will be in a closet and I don't want to vent through and...
