    Oklahoma industry advice and experience

    For sure! Now I will add the note that Oklahoma is SLIGHTLY different. The state made a cap of 25% out of state ownership for any cannabis related business. Also they kept the fees low (2500 per license type).... This means ANYONE can get into it so there are like 6K growers in this state, and a...

    Any farmers? Any one grow anything BESIDES weed in big quanities like corn, tomatoes and sell them?

    Not recently but that was my prior profession (small scale organic) ... as said above your only chance is direct to consumer. I had luck running a CSA but it took years to get off the ground. Looking into gourmet mushrooms as a new side hustle. I've been growing them to keep my vegetarian GF...

    Sherbet (Seedstockers comparative grow) and Kosher Kush (Garden of Green) - HLG 600 RSPEC Mainline

    Like it says, I just got my the new HLG 600 RSPEC for like $721 during their harvest sale. Previously had grown primarily indoors under a Mars Hydro TS2000 (some outdoor growing too but not recently). I let all plants go 4 weeks veg under my 4000K HLG 65 to around the 8th node before topping...

    Do's and don'ts of Home Assistant grow automation

    Home assistant for the UI, it's an open source OS that I run on a Raspberry Pi.... I had to do some of the coding for integrations myself but overall there is a huge community so you can crowd source a lot of it. Mostly I just use wifi smart devices however I'm going to be wiring my fans into...

    Comparative Grow – Seedstockers | The Vault

    They were fantastic... then I topped them for training. Here's before and after when I topped them to start mainline training (I got a little lazy and let them get taller than I normally would before topping). Moved two of the Sherbet and two of the Kosher Kush plants into my 4x4 under the HLG...

    MARS HYDRO CUP - Lilac Diesel & Birthday Banger -Mainline Grow w/MARS HYDRO TS2000W & Home Assistant Automation

    Week 8 day 5 - HARVEST!!! It came a few days earlier than expected but I'm at that level of cloudy trichs with just a few amber I wanted (need something that keeps me up and moving not something to make me pass out from this batch. Solo harvesting 6 plants today. Doing a pretty rough wet trim...

    Comparative Grow – Seedstockers | The Vault

    The 4 strongest that I kept are filling in their 1gal pots nicely. Only flowering two of the four - debating on the taller ones or the nice compact ones... they all hit their 7th node at the same time. Might top all 4 and start mainlining and decide later. Loving my new personalized soil...

    Remote monitoring - DIY (soon to be home assistant controlled)

    For the amount of metrics I wanted to track and automation/scripting to run I felt the 4b (8 GB) was safer. I'm already running all my appliances off the Sonoff plugs and triggering it with input from my temp sensors.... I'm actually about where I want everything for now. I'd love to be able to...

    MARS HYDRO CUP - Lilac Diesel & Birthday Banger -Mainline Grow w/MARS HYDRO TS2000W & Home Assistant Automation

    Only if you let them go too long/don't add fertilizer. For soil they should really barely be yellowing if at all. The only reason they would yellow without nutrient shortages is if they've got pests OR they're exposed to really cold.

    MARS HYDRO CUP - Lilac Diesel & Birthday Banger -Mainline Grow w/MARS HYDRO TS2000W & Home Assistant Automation

    Week 8 and my usual top dressing isn't enough-they're still starting to starve. Since it's so close (trichs are already really cloudy) I'm just trying to get them over the finish line. Going up to 10 gallon pots for the next run (but my new soil mix is airier/less rich)...... also worried there...

    Dehu which one? specifically.

    It really depends... I use a 34 pint dehu in a 10x10 room and I can drop from 70 rh to 45 rh in under an hour. The trick is getting it stable..mine has been running for close to a year straight in my old house (about 2 gallons per day EVERY day) and my humidity rebounds to 50+ pretty quick when...

    How Tap Water Affects Soil Microbes

    Glad someone has this posted recently. My dehumidifier doesn't produce enough to water with it exclusively and all I could find were recommendations for using ascorbic acid to treat bathwater without modifying pH not for purifying to the level I'd want (not like we can't adjust pH after the...

    $750 Max on LED for 4x4 - What would you get?

    Oh @still_smoked forgot to answer your other question. The ducts down the side are because that tent only has one duct on the bottom side and I'm running that for intake direct from my dehumidifier on an inkbird humidistat. The two ducts running down the side are to cut down on the negative...

    $750 Max on LED for 4x4 - What would you get?

    Running it at 75% power and upping it around 5% a day (about 450w, it's not on a metered plug yet). I'm gonna keep this puppy at full power during flowering, just gotta get them used to it. Probably won't see any real difference in the last two-three weeks of this run but it can't hurt...might...

    $750 Max on LED for 4x4 - What would you get?

    I want to go to a 5x5 with an extended top... but I’ve gotta let my accounts recover from this splurge first
