    Of course. :) Thanks. I rather like this one. :)

    heh. Obviously, you round to 1.7ml/L. Was just showing my maths so you see how I got there! It's not critical that you measure terribly precisely.

    oh, one thing I might suggest for your op is flood tray stands made from square aluminium tubing & plastic Qubelok connectors. This will allow you to easily scoot your tanks out from under the trays for easier cleaning, dumping, etc.

    If your trays are slightly bigger than you need, no big deal. Just fill them to the limits of the light coverage. I use 500ml (ea, a & B) in my 125L tanks, for tank 1, 2 & 4. Tank 3 is for weeks 5 & 6- it gets 375ml A & B and 125ml PK13-14. You can paint the floor if you want but it's...

    And they do so at their own peril. I don't find anything pretentious in the least about being objectively correct. Anti-intellectualism is stupid (see what I did there? ;) ). Depends on what you mean by 'easy to work with.' I find the hoops one must jump through with organic nutes...

    Having a hell of a time getting this bloody board to take this text... Also... from http://www.atomsandnumbers.com/2012/a-closer-look-at-a-100-natural-product/ Pay attention to that bit about sodium stannate in low-strength H2O2. The breakdown components of sodium stannate are harmful to...

    I'm a bit tired of people who don't think critically. "Organic" doesn't mean "good" and "all natural" doesn't mean "safe." From: http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2011/04/20/3184037.htm

    Why does the board keep returning this error? "Errors The following errors occurred with your submission The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters." The message I'm trying to post is a lot more than 10 characters long!

    You can use a solution of 10% sodium hypochlorite (laundry bleach) in water with a few drops of liquid dishwashing soap as a wetting agent to assure solution contact with all surfaces. Be sure to flush the system with copious amounts of plain water after cleaning with a bleach solution. Sodium...

    Simple, regular application of 50% grade H2O2. Use 1ml/L of tank volume every 3-4 days. If you can't get 50%, use 35% at 1.7ml/L. Avoid pharmacy grades like 3% & 9%. Uneconomical to use & low strength H2O2 contains stabiliser chemicals, the breakdown components of which are harmful to plants.

    Stupid bloody board. Re-uploaded pic. Should be OK now. I'd imagine that'd work fine.

    Harvest time again. Here's 3 typical SoG plants with fan leaves removed. Bud masses about 330mm tall. About .75z per plant. Rock solid nugs. The magic of the mighty 1000HPS.

    Buds don't hang around here very long. About the only thing that happens when the buds are in one of my tubs is the moisture content will equalise through all buds in the tubs. If that's 'curing,' so be it. Thanks. Bud trimmers leave too much leaf on buds for my liking. However, I'm old...

    Correct. No need for any such process. I built a bud dryer which pushes ever-so-slightly warmed air (limited to 29C max) through the buds. This is an old sketch of how it's set up- I've since built a version 2, so the reference to two 470 ohm resistors is obsolete... But the general...

    Just took a minute to swing the camera around the flowering area. Clones at the end of week 2. This set is doing very well. Tray 1 at the end of week 2. Tray 2 in the background, end of week 4. Not as happy with this batch; some rosetting (failure of stems to elongate), not sure of the...

    If you're feeling geeky, Wikipedia has a rather good description of the theory of operation of HPS lighting and its history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-vapor_lamp#High_pressure_sodium

    Of course, plant count with SoG is a drawback, but with sufficient security culture & behaviours, you can conceivably grow indefinitely without LEO contact. I've been growing for more than 25 years without a single cannabis-related legal problem. Cannabis plants do flower for a definite...

    I'm a big fan of redundancy. Wherever possible, having a live backup is a very good idea. A genset is also a very good thing to have. Fruity Chronic Juice looks ok but I think it'd yield a lot more heavily for you if grown in a SoG arrangement. When growth division is induced by pruning back...
