I've been reading good and bad about using ladybugs to control spider mites. I use a bedroom as a grow room. My wife is freaked out by bugs so I'm worried they might end up in other rooms. Is there a way to prevent this?

Hi, I read a thread on Hempy Buckets and I really like the simplicity of the system. however, I can't seem to keep the leaves from drooping. I use a 4:1 ratio of perlite/vermiculite. I have the plants under 2 1000w HPS lights. I just flipped them to 12/12 last week. I was told that the...

She was grown in a Hempy Bucket. 4:1 Perlite/Vermiculite mixed medium with a small drain hole drilled 2 inches from the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket. Other than using CO2, that's really all I know.

I went to a friend's house today because he wanted to show me his Durban Poison plants before he harvested. I couldn't believe the size of the colas!! I always thought Durban is considered a mediocre producer. Guess I was wrong! :clap:

I too have had nothing but great experiences with Nirvana. I've ordered their Master Kush, Bubblicious, Wonder Woman and AK-48. Their seeds always pop just fine for me. The Bubblicious and AK-48 are still vegging. The Master Kush was phenomenal with buds bigger than soda cans. The Wonder...

Overwatering it is then. I'll wait a couple more days before I feed again. Thanks for the tip guys!

Hey Good Folks! I have a plant problem that I'm not sure about. I'm growing in Hempy Buckets which are soilless medium buckets filled with a 4:1 ratio of perlite and vermiculite. There's a drain hole about 2 inches from the bottom of the bucket. Every 3 days I feed or water. I use the GH...

Thanks again everyone for your awesome feedback! Here's some pics I just took. Please pardon the mess. I had a professional growroom dude come out and set-up some ventilation for me. I'm going to clean up right after I post this. I'll take some pics of the room. It's 88 square feet. Right...

Thanks for your responses redivider! Big +rep to you my friend! I checked the PH both before and after. Like you said though, they both read at 5.9. I just wanted to make sure the medium didn't adjust it a little. So the story with the clones is that I got them free from a dispensary. As...

Thanks for all the advice and info. They are clones that I transplanted from soil 4 days ago. I tried the Lucas Formula before without much luck. I think I'll go back to the directions on the bottles. I'll feed again in 2 days and will let you know the ph level on the runoff.

Correction: It's a 1000W MH, not HPS.

So I got a few hempy buckets under 1000w HPS. I've got a fan venting the heat under the bulb so the temp around the top of the buckets is 75 degrees. I've been using the Lucas Formula. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Should I gently rinse the roots and transplant them in new soil?

Thanks guys for all your help! So I should fill a 1.5 gallon container with water, mix a very light amount of nutes and use the entire contents to feed one 5 gallon container? And should I do this everytime I water? Don't ever just use plain ph'd water?

Damn those look good! What nutes do you use?

I'm just kiddin' about the rash thing. :mrgreen: But I do have a serious question about my little ladies. I'm 21 days into flower. Everything's been goin' great. The strain is LA Woman. They're in 5 gallon buckets with Roots Organics soil mixed with about 20% perlite. I feed them by mixing 2...

Thanks for the tip on Hygrozyme. I'll pick up a bottle next week when I get paid. I read another thread where a guy was watering with nutes on Mondays and Wednesdays and then just plain water on Fridays. I'm going to try this schedule starting Monday. I did give them a feeding a few hours ago...

This is my first soil grow. I've tried growing hydro twice and just can't get great results. I know it's totally me fuckin' up but I've decided to give soil a good shot. Soil Mix - I'm using Roots Organics soil mixed with about 30% perlite in 5 gallon Home Depot "Homer Buckets". Nutes - I'm...

Anyone? What right would the cops have to enter your house after proving you're allowed to grow marijuana? Does anyone see where I'm coming from or am I being a total dumbass?
