    FLUSHING before harvest... BS or not?

    Good thread..... one thing you have to take into account is the amount of nutrients use during vegetation. I have a strain that takes Foxfarm Ocean and I still have to add N to it. ...but by the time it gets to flowering I have to do 2 flushes or the small leaves around the buds will burn. Of...

    Don't forget the four pin CFL...which is more like a T5

    The 55 watt 4 pin cfl can still be found at industrial supply sites. One ...1000bulbs has a web site and sells the 6500K that measures under 22 inches at 4800 lumens. You could fit four of these in a 24 inch four bulb T5 housing. Best of all they only cost $4.42 and will at least last a year...

    HOW TO KILL SPIDER MITES 100%: " Naturally - no chemicals"

    Did some cleaning and that included the Sevin dust that was bordering all my girls...first time in 6 years I go without 7 and the fuc.. are back. My just cloned (well rooted) plants seem to be untouched so I poured a pile around those... sort if like a dike of 7 dust. Now to decide what to do...

    Water: Ro or not to RO, that is my question

    Google ascorbic acid to treat ascorbic acid and you come up with some info from the good people who make vit. C that chloramines can even show up in distilled water...got my doubts. I do know that since I have a ph of 8 that 400mg of the pure powdered form per gallon takes my PH to 6.6 and I...

    City tap water?

    I just wasted a lot of energy making a 5 gallon bucket water filter...pool filter sand sandwiched by 1/8 - 1/16 quartz and 5 pounds of activated carbon....all of which was sitting in storage from my aquarium days. It turns out that all I needed was a $11 dollar 500 gram jar of pure ascorbic...

    lower ph with lemon juice?

    First off YES I know this is an old thread but since it popped up on a Google search for how much lemon drops to bring down ph I might as well post what I read in a paper written for waste treatment people. Chloramines (chlorine and ammonia) have a much longer half life than reg. chlorine so if...

    DiY LED Grow Lights with CREE CXA3070 COBs and CPU Coolers

    The CXA3070 is going for $48 from China on Ebay. If I didn't have a hard water situation to deal with I would be all over this...minus the type of heat sink that was listed. If you live close to a large metal scrap biz you can pick up a big heat sink that comes off of amps, certain welders ...

    Water: The Most Essential Compound

    I remember working at a small print shop years ago. They had to run "distilled" water in their printing press. What they used was a large filter that they leased ..it looked like a large extra fat industrial gas bottle about 5 feet high and twice as fat and it's shell made of fiberglass. It...

    Who is Bodhi, Where is Home?

    Had room to germinate two Apollo 11, both are doing well. Thanks for info on the open pollination. The A11 is still available at Midweek Song...I don't usually plug banks but in this case they got a good deal with your choice of freebies. Each one was in it's own little plastic vial. My next...

    Bean Banks - Win or Fail

    Bought some Bodhi Apollo 11 from Midweek Song.. fastest shipping, great freebies (your choice). But they broke one of my personal rules of mail: keep it slim...like a letter. If not for the coupon code listed here at RU I wouldn't even know they exist. Bought on a Wednesday and had it the...

    Who is Bodhi, Where is Home?

    Just received my first pack of Bodhi seeds. Apollo 11 f4 open pollinated. Nothing in the description said a thing about open pollinated or f4...but I will keep an open mind. What I read on chat board about heirloom seeds (fancy for seeds of fruit or vegs. that are not grown on an industrial...

    2 plants, same variables, 1 great, 1 dying

    The first plant looks like it has a small case of too much nutes (browining on the edges), the second one can be from all kinds of things. I have two kinds of C99 growing- one will take much more nitrogen than the other.

    seedling disease?

    Yea.. over water for sure. Luckily the area that I live in put just enough chlorine in the water to help. Another thing that helps if your using a small shallow container is water from the side and let the water soak upwards. If your soil doesn't want to soak upwards you can mix in some long...

    Guerrilla Guide

    I talked to someone who use to be in the National Guard who would get as much info out of the tech guys that service the planes that the Feds use. What he said was that they use side scanning radar that relays the picture to a computer that looks for that Christmas tree shape...that it could do...

    Feminized vs Regular seeds

    Google the above but in reverse and you will get a note some information from Greenhouse Seeds that fems are as good as reg. seeds. The only way someone can make that statement is if a strain's females can be turned to males at a 100% rate. Correct me if I am wrong.... if I have a success...

    Y'all got me feeling dumb

    Looks like the citrus strain I am growing from clone. It is 75% sativa, smells like lime/pineapple and it is great indoors. God help you if your growing outdoors and the temp. drops down into the dew point range... also when harvesting the buds they have to be in a room with a dehumidifier...

    Too cheap to be good?

    I bought a 600 watt ballast and reflector w/bulb several years ago with no problems other than the reflector was damaged. It just shows you how marked up stuff from China is. Home Depot is finally offering make in America wall sockets since so many people are buying their hardware online...

    Weird leaf

    C99 is an inbred line. The most common ..other than a certain leaf formation, is twinning. Two seedlings out of one seed has also occurred in my experience from Sannies Jack regular. C99 is a strain that does not like to be feminized. The strain will go auto on you if let the plant get root...

    See How The Government Is Spending Our Money

    God didn't make man equal but Samuel Colt did. The best cure for a superiority complex is a lead injection. When I see all the lousy Arabs living around me .... (and yes they do think they are their God's gift to mankind), I just kick back and reload some more bullets. Nothing like sitting at...

    Herbies Seeds IS TRASH! (WARNING DONT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!)

    Knock on wood....ordered from Herbies, Sannies, Peak, Attitude, Seedsman, Cannazon, Castle, and a few others. In the request part I ask for the smallest package possible and never order seeds in tins. I did order a pack of Sweet seeds that was already 2 years old from Herbies that had a...
