    WTF, seedlings yellowing...

    These guys are about a week from when I planted the seeds in a soil mix of ProMix with 10% perlite, %10 sand, and my friend who was helping me mixed in about %10 worm castings (when I wasn't in the room, forgot to tell him those didn't go into this grow, let alone with seedlings). They were fine...

    Ultrasonic misters

    you can distance the fan from the res with some pipe, so a computer fan would work pretty well. I just ordered some shit to make my own nutramist... so I discard the humidifier I'm using, too much of a pain in the ass to deal with...

    Gravity / Bushmaster = Roundup

    I have never used the stuff in hydro but the claims are %100 real in soil, but dosing has to be controlled very carefully even there. Hydro poses a lot of issues when it comes to hormone based products (which they are, except PurpleMaxx) simply because there is absolutely no buffer whatsoever...

    90 Watt LED Grow Light!

    AHH here is a major difference! The LED's in the Procyon light are rated at only 50,000+- hours while the UFO is 80,000+- hours. Thats a big difference, although replacement of the LED's is easier in the Procyon, 3w LED's are not as efficient as 1w and are more expensive to replace.

    90 Watt LED Grow Light!

    damn I like that! But I also like the fact Hight Times did an actual grow for the UFO... but they cost about the same, so I the 100w is a bit more bang for your buck

    90 Watt LED Grow Light!

    Ok so I just read in High Times about the HIDHut UFO Led light. Replaces a 400w HPS with built in cooling! They said it took a week longer to finnish but there was a marked increase in potency! Oh and it mentioned that in China they developed a single 200w led that is 2 inches in length and...

    My Ultrasonic/NFT Aero System

    So far it's been 12 hours of fog and the roots are already starting to show from the rockwool... got a late start at giving them nutes so I increased the ultrasonic res to about 250ppm of BC nutes. The water flow of the NFT has no nutes yet, when the roots hit it that will change. Oh and I'm...

    My Ultrasonic/NFT Aero System

    Just though I would post the pics of my finished system. It's a modified NFT; two 3" square pvc posts qith four 3" netpots in each. The NFT runs on a 700GPH pump from the main Res. I plan on using organics in that part to enhance flavor. I'm using a Walmart humidifier for the vapor... until I...

    LED Lighting

    For those interested in the sulphur Plasma Lamps: nlite SULPHUR PLASMA LIGHT They are way too expensive for most growers, hell LED's might even be cheaper, but LG Korea has already started marketing them as replacements for street lights and for lighting skyscrapers. But these are not for the...

    Nicotine Pest Control

    I did some research into that a couple of years ago. Watering it into the plants themselves does have a systemic (internal) pesticide effect... but do you really want an addictive carcinogen in your bud? Plus it would most def fuck with Ph and kill beneficial bacteria. You could try the older...

    Organic in NFT

    Ok! :hump: Well does anyone have a preference of organic hydro nutes? I know Botanicare is pretty highly rated and has done well for me back in my days of soil but thats it. No teas though, I just don't have the time...

    Whats ur guys opinion??

    All I know is the Apollo was featured in some GOOD magazines and man did they LOVE it! Plus I tend not to like American Agritech's manufacturing of plastics, too brittle and the UV resistance (which matters under MH bulbs) is pretty poor. Maybe a more seasoned grower can chime in more...

    Organic in NFT

    Ok so I built a combination Ultrasonic Aeroponic and NFT system... it's gona take a while to get the ultrasonic to work so I may need to depend on the NFT for this grow. I was wondering if it is at all possible to utilize organics (specifically the Botanicare Pro Grow/Bloom/LiquidKarma line) in...

    When to nute seedlings in aero grow

    Well if you spent that much money on the flora nova you can try to pre-dissolve it in a pitcher of water and see if you can REALLY get it to dissolve as much as possible. Since your dealing with seedlings, the nutrient levels will be low anyway so you may not have an issue for now. I have been...

    What Ever Happened to Fogponics

    Ok guys, doesn't look like this thread is too active but I thought I would post some of what I have found on the subject... the Garden's Cure site has a pretty good attempt at an ultrasonic grow posted by arnold layne. Can't get a good direct link but if your a member you can look it up. He...

    Ultrasonic Cloning...

    sorry about that, my digital camera finally failed after 5 years of abuse... with the help of my 10 month old puppy of course. Here is a link to what someone else did with the ultrasonics, I will get some clones going so I can take some pics with a friends camera...

    Rockwool Question

    I'm using rockwool for the first time as the starter plugs for my seedlings (rapid-rooters before) but I have a major issue... my Ph pen came busted today and the seeds have already been started. I used some leftover Ph Down and some litmus test strips to approximate 5.5 in distilled water...

    What Ever Happened to Fogponics

    The issue with traditional ultrasonic humidifiers is that the pizzo-electric disk has no coating. As a result you get buildup over time and have to replace the disks frequently. The ones you can get from futuregarden.com are teflon coated to prevent crusty buildup and are the same used in the...
