Yes there is a date that each strain will begin to flower. If you plant a seedling late enough in the season then it sometimes will get pushed back a bit. In SoCal you have the luxury of an extremely long season. I am from SD and we rarely get a good enough frost to kill outdoor plants. You...

The tea is super simple to make, the first few times you get the hang of it. Now for me it is just dumping shit into a bucket of water and putting some air stones in it. I make mine with just some worm castings, insect frass, agave nectar, molasses, and then alternate between additives like...

Thanks for the cut and paste

All you really need in DWC are the base nutrients and a PK booster. I run the new Kind 3 part now with liquid koolbloom and silica, i gotta say, the kind isn't doing much more than when I used just straight floranova bloom, silica, and the koolbloom. You really don't need like 10 different...

I would re think the 5 plants in a 35 gallon rubbermaid. Having multiple plants in DWC in that close quarters is not necessary, it is easier to take care of 1 huge plant than it is to take care of 5 little ones. I would return the earth juice nutrients if I were you. Any Organics in DWC is a...

I had the same pH issue when I first started my DWC. I use RO water and it came from using organic calmag, the molasses based stuff from general hydro. I was using left over stuff from my organic grow and the molasses based nute was feeding bacteria in the reservoir and their waste products were...

I guess I should have phrased the response better... I was more probing to get a more clear goal so I could help him/ her get what they are looking for. Do you want to help the plant build up a stronger immune system or are you looking for a spray to buy for the time you do have an outbreak? Or...

Why do you want to go buy something if there is no problem yet?

I got a 3 stage R/O filter from amazon. A little slow, but it works like a champ. I fill up a 20 gallon Rubbermaid trash can as a res and add calmag and let it sit with an air stone until I use it all up.

I would strongly suggest not using mint. Mint spreads like wildfire and it takes over raised beds and chokes other plants out. I made the mistake of putting it in my aquaponics system and the mint completely took over and choked out all the greens I had in there.

I use microclover. A 1 pound bag will last you ages. http://www.hancockseed.com/seed-varieties-241/clover-seed-3/micro-clover-seed-1-lb-bag-635.html

Mixing up a 200 gallon pot of a "super soil" type mix is gonna cost an arm and a leg. Using that lightly amended compost and soil, as long as the compost is a biodynamic type compost and the soil isn't just straight top soil you should have a good mix that you only need to add a few things to...

If you like TGA, I would absolutely recommend Jesus OG if you can get your hands on it. I'm about a week after bud set right now and the level of frost is very impressive so far. And they grow pretty quick and aren't finicky like a SFV or something along those lines. Edit: Hopefully that...

Carbon filters aren't that expensive, you will most likely need a dual carbon filter to ensure enough contact time to get the chloramine out. But if you don't have the resources you don't have em. If there are fish in the water and plants growing around it theoretically it isn't completely...

I would be concerned about the pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and whatever else has been dumped in the water. But overall, you should be OK. Guerilla growers use all sorts of sketchy water sources and their plants still continue to grow. I would test the water as much as you could. OR...

UV-B won't do it. It may help a little. But our atmosphere filters out almost all the UV-C rays. UV-C is very dangerous and prolonged exposure to your eyes will cause you to go blind, and if you hold a UV-C light to your skin for about a minute it will burn and possibly turn black. UV-C destroys...

Hey cann have you ever thought about trying one of those UVC wands? I bought one for like 20 bucks on amazon and it just destroys mildew and it also kills whiteflies and aphids. You and rrog are slowly converting me into a no tiller. Seems like the best method for the lazy gardener in me. I...

It is a 3 stage filter with pre and post carbon. I also have one of those ice box filters before it in the line. So I THINK I am getting the chloramine out. If not I'm sure storing the water in a 20g res with calmag takes care of it.

I didn't know the dust suffocates worms. I have been adding perlite to my worm bin so it doesn't get so waterlogged, and the perlite soaks up the worm juice. God damnit, the "rev" is at it again.

I have been trying to get away from using calmag. But this grow I royally fucked myself because I didn't get enough lime in my mix and for a while i was trying to just supplement with the calmag for a while. The top dress is FINALLY beginning to work too, plants are starting to darken up after...
