Found a few old seeds from last year and decided to test it they are still viable. Started in rooter blocks along with Summer Corn and some other assorted veggies. Both germed and started a few weeks ago (22-May). One is doing very nicely, the other is lagging...but I actually did not think...

My outdoor Gelato Grow. The plants have has a few rough times, but they are alive. Started in cups of coco for a few weeks in a humidity dome, then gallon poss of soil. Bumped to 2.5 gallon pots and transplanted this evening in to 5 gallon pots of Roots Organics Greenfields. Hope they are...

We are on well water and the PPM is now consistently coming out to 250+. We have a small countertop water distiller unit that we used to use in the city to cut down on our fluoride and chlorine intake. It will produce about 3gal a day, the garden needs 6gal per week so it will cover it. My...

Started one of four seeds from Nirvana. Sprouted in two days. This is soil grow under a 250w MH lamp right now. Will bump the light to 400w when it get another set of leaves. Will be using Botanicare nutrients. Gelato is one of my favorite strains, but I have never grown it before. Once...

Started this in May, a little later than we wanted...but it will be fine! It is a bag seed from a really nice Cookies dominant strain. It has grown in to a healthy plant and just start showing some pre-flowers! Just a simple raised bed garden with light nutrients.

This is my ebb and flow bucket tomato. It started out as a 2" sprig off the mother-plant in the background. This is an awesome San Marzano tomato plant. The mother is producing some wonderful fruit, so I thought trying it in hydro would be fun! I have three more rooted cuttings for...

Love the new interface, but it appears the old grow logs are not present.

This is my Platinum OG seedling. This was a seed that was gifted me from a friend. Slow starter, it took 14 days from dropping into soil to get it to start opening its bean leaves. Really did not have a lot of faith that it would be viable, but it is cheap to feed so it stays.

After I built the "ebb and flow" bucket, I had the timer set to 15m every hour for lighted hours. I am using expanded clay medium. The plant appeared to do ok for day one, but today it is wilting horribly. The one i have hand watering once a day seems to be doing fine. I now have it set for...

Was just watching the "news" and they mentioned that the county of San Diego (yes, the same the spent millions challenging Prop 215) is considering a new strategy. They are looking at a dispensary licensing scheme that would cost $11K. A dispensary will also have to be approved by some sort of...

Anyone here into riding bikes? Road, mountain or BMX...does not matter the type, just riding. I do a bit of road riding. Have an old Trek 1400 Aluminum (yes, it is ancient) that I do distance on. 50 to 60 miles is about my limit anymore, though I would travel farther when I was younger...

I have a pet turtle. Not really a show stopper of an announcement, I know. Was watching him this afternoon while working in my living room. I just realized after all the years that I have owned him, how cool he is to ponder upon. Not sure what is so cool about it, I just came to understand...

Just finished packing up a few more boxes. Have to move by the 1st of the year and I just realized how much I hate this. Trying to score a small studio right off the beach. That is exciting, but the actual process of moving has me feeling dread. Thanks for listening to my rant...just wanted...

Came down with some body aches, so just tried some of my Cal Hash plant. Stuff is pretty good indeed. Semi harsh flavor, sort of like an Afghan, but with a sweet aftertaste. First effect after a few minutes was a light buzz coming into a mixed high/stone. Pretty heady, but not in an up way...

I have been trying to clone sprigs from a fruit tree. I am moving from the house here and I there are a few fruit trees that are off the hook! There is a kumquat and lemon tree that I would like to have copies of. So far I have not had any success. Using a standard rooting compound that has...

Just a question on Rockwool cubes. I currently use 6" cubes for my 2'x2' ebb and flow system. These fit in the tray perfectly and I have had good results with them. My question is, for plants growing to be 24" to 30" (at harvest) can I use a 4" cube without ill effect? My thought is, if I...

This is a 6 plant grow. The Cal Hash Plant is about finished, but the White Widows still have a few weeks. They are all filling out nicely. I think next time I will grow only 3 plants and let them fill out more. The tray is pretty crowded right now. Still, am happy with the results...

I am now on pump number three in under 8 months. Anyone have any suggestions on a good brand of air pump? They are both from a hydro store. They replaced the first one that went out. Now that I am replacing yet again, it would be best to switch to a more reliable brand I think.

Trying to get the cost of everything clear to roommate. Our electric bill jumped about 6 months ago (had nothing running of mine) and the roommate blamed the garden. Tried to explain to him that there is no way that the garden is costing over $100 a month, but he insists. Tried to avail him...

Just brought my ebb and flow system on line for testing. The 2'x2' tray is one I picked up at a hyrdo shop, but the reservoir is one I built out of an old Coleman cooler. It is using a 285 gph pump. Is there any problem with running an oversize pump? I am going to be using 4 6"x6" rockwool...
