you can hose off the rootball... itlll be fine. Your plant might droop for a day or so, but as long as you dont go crazy with it, it will recover.

what a waste of money

I hear a lot of complaints from people who buy new ballasts & reflectors, only to realize that they're not compatible and need to buy additional adapter cords. This is for you! Ballast Has "To Reflector" Plug Style Note Lumatek Common or Hydrofarm Available with one or the...

3" netpots will probably work in that tubing. If you're using sprayers, then probably the bigger the pump the better. Active aqua is a pretty reliable/affordable brand.

Don't listen to all of these people saying that you NEED RO water. The only people who NEED RO water are people who are using well water or have reallly dirty municipal water. What is your PPM out the tap? Using RO, you'll be taking out nutrients. Then you have to pay more money to buy bottles...

call around. if you can find h2o2 locally it will be a LOT cheaper than your "hydroponic" product. Try to get higher percents, as the lower percentage ones have some additives that arent so great. 30-45% would be best. Al B Fuct has a lot to say on using h2o2, might want to check out his...

I would let it get a little bigger before transplanting. The root system is probably really fragile right now, and breaking just a few roots could really cause damage. Let it grow a bit, and then transplant. Put the faucet on warm water, without too much pressure. Wash off as much dirt as you...

It's an organic based beneficial bacteria/microbe supplement, I think. Same idea as foxfarms BigBud. Nothing for NPK or micros, its just dirty and full of (microscopic) living stuff

you dont even necessarily need big bloom. Tiger bloom has all the nutrients needed for growth. Big bloom is a bunch of organics and microbes and such. Probably not good for your sprayers,

thats sugar!!!!1 You're feeding bacteria!!!!

I feel like baking soda would cause problems if you're running aero (clogged sprayers) Maybe you need a bigger reservoir if you're getting pH swings like that?

This assumes you're lighting from the top: If you want to grow giant plants (4+ feet tall) and not worry about adjusting light heights, then go with 1000 watters. If you are growing lots of smaller plants (~3 feet or less) then get the 600's. You can keep a 600 closer and cooler, and they...

These new digital ballasts are pretty nice. You can dim them down if it gets hot or if you're introducing smaller plants. then again, if your old magnetic aint broke then dont fix it

you can get a humidity dome from your local garden supply store, hydro store, home depot, etc. You could also just use some tupperware.... Just need something clear that will keep it humid.

Youre in soil? If you put a seedling in a 3 gallon pot it's going to take FOREVER to drink up all the water in that medium.... I'd start in a 1gal or even a solo cup and transplant.

dude theres no way you should be spending 1000 to yield an oz a month. Look around on craigslist or kohls or something for an armoir (sp) or something. If you only want an oz a month, you could get away with like, a 2x4 cabinet. If you want to keep it shorter/quieter/cooler you can use a t5...

hydroton? try flooding every 3 hours in 15 minute intervals while the lights are on. dont flood in the dark!

greentms is really nice. You can also drill a bulkhead and ball valve into the bottom to drain it.

Dont mess with it. let it do it on its own. You can clean out salt buildup by topfeeding with plain water. Dont waste money on clearex and similar products. You just learned why its not advisable to put two plants in one pot!!!!

Havent you guys seen experiments where people water white flowers with food coloring? The white flowers will change colors. Go ahead and try it.
