forgive me if I'm mistaken or missed it, but at one time you were talking about a 3-1-2 fertilizer for bloom? 24-8-16 would be the same right? its the NPK ratio thats important? I ran across a little box on clearance for like 1.50 and picked it up just to try it out sometime.

3-1-2 would be a veg nute, 2-1-3 would be bloom, great price though :)

got one in veg I'll try it out on, yeah I figure 1.50 for a 1,5lb box was hard to pass up, thanks! so if I mixed a gallon of the 3-1-2 with a gallon of 1-1-4 ratio that would be the same as 2-1-3 right?

mix equal amounts and divide by 2 for the actual NPK ie: mix 20-20-20 with 10-30-20 add = 30-50-40 divide by 2 = 15-25-20

I could actually do that as the slop sink in the laundry room will take a hose, but the exercise is good for me
exercise is good =]
but i hav a friend that ruined his whole crop from using a hose.... be careful putting your water into something that isnt sterile. even straight off the shelf there is unknown contaminants throughout the entire hose. im sure you thought of this, just dont wanna see another room go to hell... lol

Hey, I've read your thread before but I honestly forgot. Would you mind sharing how much your CMH went for? I talked to my local hydro owner and he was talking about some really high prices for them and they're still in testing?

If you could clear it up, that'd be awesome.

Hey riddle I've read all your posts and admire your work, I have a quick question for ya. I'm trying to pick a strain to grow, i've been reading the forums here for almost 2 years. What would you recommend? I want something very strong when grown properly, something tasty. I've noticed your a medical marijuana caregiver... so I figured who better to ask :) Planning to grow in Soil with LEDs and t5's. Whats your input on LEDs? (tried to send you a PM but your box is full)

I believe the latter is where he purchased his...advancetech pre-burns the bulb before shipping which IMHHO matters a bit due to a rather higher than comfortable initial failure...pre-burning for 12 hrs. 3 times assures full lifetime of bulb according to Philips...hope it helps

IMO LED's have a way to go, seems they are good for side lighting though? I would never use one, I love my CMH too much

and I have smoked a lot of weed and nothing comes close to Tilders, LOL, KC Brains Northern Lights Special though taste wise it is like a hash with pepper on it, or perhaps I should just say it's peppery

I am looking forward to trying the NL #1 I am currently growing just because of the genetics in her Tai & afgany, I like my smoke to kick my ass and put me down, for a good sativa I like Jack Herrer
 
hi riddleme,
I live on the coast of Virgina, we have a storm blowing through I was wanting to see if you had any ideas on how to stabilize a 7ft plant in a category 4 hurricane. Its about 4 weeks into flowering, I would hate to see it destroyed thanks for the help

As I am originally from Louisiana and was there for them all...lol.. Gotta love that in the face of a hurricane you are concerned about this plant....That is how special and intimate this plant becomes to the grower...Serenity in the supreme

Bummer, well I never had that experience but can suggest staking with guy wires, here is an example

we did this when I worked for a nursery and it does add good support
