    I didn't take screen shots but it was Chimera's old line. The listings on hempdepot had a circle R.

    First strain to be trademarked GG4

    I recall Chimera trademarking his "strains" . . . people yawned.

    Modifying LED build

    I'd add another 3000K. I built CXB3590 bars with two 50W 3000K and a 25W 5000K in the middle. The blue-ish COB shining on the meristem of a plant would discourage stretching, I thought--but this is not the case in reality. The stretchy phenos still stretch out.

    Reverse Osmosis Water CalMag Amendment - How Much?

    Not in my experience. High pH causes lateral turning while nitrogen toxicity causes tip droop (claw).

    Reverse Osmosis Water CalMag Amendment - How Much?

    If you feed your youngsters straight RO in an inert medium, I'd say you're off to a bad start. I've never used that bag mix, though. I've had similar frustrations using mapito (rockwool and foam). I'm using tap water but need additional magnesium so as an example, I add 1g epsom salts (MgSO4)...

    I shot up all my plastic models in the basement with a .22 replica Daisy from Sears. Wish I still had a couple of them, now.

    Hey old farts..how many over 50 yrs?

    I had a 1/24 scale plastic kit rocket car powered by a CO2 cartridge. It was supposed to travel along a tight string but I just let it spin around on the asphalt street. The commercial 1/24th slot car race tracks were totally cool for a kid back then.

    Best place for spores?

    I bought three Halloween grab-bags from Sporeworks. They loaded me up with cube spore syringes when I thanked them for sponsoring a certain site. I need to start work on a flow hood today instead of goofing off here . . .

    Newbie with Nutrients. Please help!

    A guy on another site talked about saving $10,000 worth of roses because someone noticed the nute color wasn't right.

    Newbie with Nutrients. Please help!

    Dye is added to the dry stuff, also. MaxiGro is pale green and MaxiBloom is pale pink. In a commercial setting, these indicators can help avoid extremely expensive screw-ups.

    Newbie with Nutrients. Please help!

    Don't be too high and leave the MaxiBloom container open. It will soak up humidity and crystallize. You can break it up with a spoon and it's still usable, just annoying. Some people shake a jar of hot water containing the nutes before adding to the reservoir/bigger container. I've never...

    Newbie with Nutrients. Please help!

    I've been using dry MaxiBloom for years. MaxiGro is fine at first but not necessary. Coco, coco/perlite, mapito--it all produces pro-quality bud. My grow methods never allowed 7g/gallon, I'm flowering at 5g/gallon in mapito right now. Additional cal/mag shouldn't be needed in coco with...

    Anyone using Sunshine Mix #4?

    My friend used it with Lucas formula, hand watered. I've been thinking of going to SSM#4, maybe mixed with Fox Farms Ocean Forest.

    what light meters should i get

    A decent PAR meter costs hundreds of dollars. You pay for accurate measurement starting at about 600nm (for the deeper reds). I've been fully satisfied using a digital footcandles (lux) meter to set up the COBs in my grow room. Accurately comparing different brands of luminaires on a test...

    Curing Bad Bacteria In Resevior What Worked For Me

    Keeping a cool, dark reservoir goes a long ways towards good hygiene. My flower room gets a lot of hot sun exposure. I have a window banger AC but it's only used on an emergency basis. If I knew I wanted to grow here another ten years I'd get a Mitsubishi mini-split for the room, I guess...

    Curing Bad Bacteria In Resevior What Worked For Me

    I'm running ebb-and-flow mapito totes with chlorine bleach in a reservoir with 18 gallons of nute solution (MaxiBloom dry). It's a three day flood cycle; 3ml bleach (8.25% sodium hypochlorite) after the flood, 2ml bleach on the next day and 1ml the day before the next flood. This yields...

    what are peoples take on fogger for humidity

    SouthCross, I'd say you have soft tap water if you're not bothered by liming (carbonate deposits). I use an EssickAir 831000 Six Gallon Evaporative Humidifier ("swamp cooler") in a converted master bedroom with S&P 200mm inline intake and exhaust fans. Set at 65%, it will run continuously on...
