    Temp control Help

    Yes I agree with MrMeanGreen. You gotta exhaust the heat out of the room the tent is in to really get a handle on the heat. I would personally invest in a vented hood first before the evaporating cooler. You will find exhausting the heat with a vented hood will lower your temps 10-15 degrees...

    week 2 after breaking soil, what do you think RIU

    Umm looks over-watered and some deficiency starting. I would let the cup dry pretty good before the next watering and get that thing to a bigger pot. My .02

    Cloning, need help! Only Experts!

    You can use anything clear to cover your clones to keep moisture in. I have tried cloning in every conceivable way and by far the easiest has been the aero cloner. Bubble cloner would work well too and easier to construct. Search the forum lots of " how to's " for both. My cloning...

    Advice Please

    You could always go old school with some ProMix/Perlite amended. Not sure how much soil you need, but this may cost as much as FFOF by the time you add guano,bone/blood meal, etc.

    New 1st time grow, all input appreciated.

    I agree with URKG. Probably not enough light. Recommended is 50 watts per square foot. Multiply length x width x 50. Thats your magic number. Good luck, they look great BTW ! Nice job so far.

    some bud from my first decent grow with presumably 'good' seed and Fox Farm

    Congrats! Its a long road to success and I sure burned my fair share of plants in the process. I switched to General Organic nutes from chemicals and I must say they seem to take all I can give em without burn. That being said I still feed every other watering, but with your drink approach...

    General Organics Product Line

    I used the Feed.. Water... Feed....Water approach and noticed Cal/Mag Def 4 weeks into flowering. I read another post about General Organics with deficiency problems......... during 12/12 transition he would overlap the feeding schedules for Veg / Flower for the first two weeks. So he does the...

    Create seed stock from purchased seed

    lots of good reading there, thanks. Have you used the Silver Thiosulfate Solution method before? From reading it is suppresses ethylene which is needed for the plant to be " female" This suppression naturally causes the formation of male flowers as the whole plant goes through a sex change...

    Create seed stock from purchased seed

    Looks like step one is a lot of seed to choose from. More seed, more parents to choose from sounds very logical to me :) I will breed out this 10 pack and make a ton of seed and go from there. I will start reading Scarhole, your idea is very intriguing indeed. The journey begins. Thanks guys.

    How do I attach the fans to the tent?

    Those temps ...86 degrees.... sound about right considering your ambient temp at 72. My ambient temps are at 68, and my tent holding steady at 75 today. You have about a 15 degree increase with the heat from the light, sounds normal. IMO that fan just is not gonna get it done. If cash is...

    How do I attach the fans to the tent?

    I have felt your pain brother. What type of lighting are you using? What are ambient temps? After pouring over these forums for months and having several prior grows under my belt from years past here is my summation. If you are going to grow be prepared to buy the " right " equipment. I...

    Recommend a Great Sativa for indoors

    Yeah, I bought some name brand tape and its sticky as hell. Back in the day you could just grab a roll anywhere and it would work perfectly, now they are making some real crappy tape. Whats an up and coming hostage taker on a budget to do these days.. ? :shock:

    Normal, Overfed, underfed, heat stress?

    Well after watching for a few days it seems this plant really likes the magnesium 4 weeks into flowering. Next round I will double the magnesium at 3 weeks flower to avoid this issue. This is Mag def boys and girls. My pics above show the early stages with necrotic spots and yellowing of...

    Newbi, Flowering help pls

    Hello Sugartwist, 90 degrees is way too high. Get something similar to this CLICK HERE so you know what your temps actually are. Most hang their thermostat at plant height to gain an accurate reading. That is really high temp for fluorescents. Preparation of the grow room...

    Recommend a Great Sativa for indoors

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Being a small 2 plant grower for personal use I am taking my genetics seriously as quality is paramount. This little sativa gem is only 4 weeks in and still has at least 5 weeks to go. De Sjamaan Peacemaker I only popped 5 seeds and was lucky to get...

    Seeds just won't germinate

    I had some issues, and I found some info on RIU so I will spread the love. It's a seed and its job is to sprout. Your job is to watch. 1. Take a shot glass, or small container (clean with rubbing alcohol) 2. Fill glass with distilled water 3. Drop your seeds in this water 4. Put in...
