Newgrowth I was just wondering how much of that Physan 20 to put in my soup if I start with 6 gal distilled water? & Hygrozime? Sorry, have no experience with these but it obviously worked for you so maybe it'll work for me. Can you believe the same people who make Hygrozime also make the seaweed? Kinda makes ya go HMMMMMMMMMM!!!! Much obliged ...I appreciate youkiss-ass <<<<<<<<<<<MJ
I think I posted this on your thread but I would try 1/2 ml daily for about four days. Just watch for too much foam.:peace:

Only new to this hydro scene my tap water has a ppm of 0600 will I have to buy bottled water? It seems far to high going by what I'm reading.

Most plants today are hybrids. I like a sativa in the morning and to smoke throughout the day. Sativa's are something you can keep smoking and just get higher and higher. Unlike heavy Indica's that get you really stoned to the point you can't move or you just go to sleep.



Depends on what you like, head high confused soaring type (sativa) or stoned, eat a lot (indica)



Usually yes, sativas tend to grow larger and have a large yield. A lot of pure sativas will have lighter fluffy buds. However like I said most seed stock sold today are hybrid varieties. The benefit is what is call "hybrid vigor" a indica/sativa cross will grow faster, yield more, ect.



Pros- Larger plants, often higher yields, great smoke for being active.

Cons- Longer flowering time, some people prefer to be stoned not super high.




I'll check out your journal now Mary. Physan 20 works great but it foams so if you add to much to a res with an air stone it will make a huge mess . . . . that is from experience:?
Put me in the INDICA camp.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but sativa strains seem to be more in demand--is it the "speed" effect? I gave up caffeine years and years ago, including soft drinks. I get way too wired off them.

So based on that extensive :-D background, does anyone reading this have any clue as to why certain personality types/ physical types would prefer the UP or the DOWN of anything?

Yes, I'm serious. i don't like caffeine. Alcohol is strictly okay in my book (I"ve had enough hang over morning, thanks). BUT .... a clue. Back in the day . . . when "they" still made quaaludes? I LOVED them. I'm a downer lover. Anyone know or have a clue as to why? And yes, I'm a real high energy person. Would love to hear op's on this.

Sorry NG, to .... chatter about nonsense in your journal. Forgive? kiss-ass

Oh ... you know me and I know you, so this is okay, right? I hope so.

To all new lurkers? NG is THE MAN.

Yup, you heard it here first and from a soil person. Yup, NG is the man.


Signing out now. But does anyone know of any reliable patterns about people and their preferred types? I'm serious, not being silly (as I have been want to do lately, heh heh)

Night all.

I am trying to find some information on cloning with ultrasonic fogger.
1. how long should the fogger run?
2. should I use a Dome over the cuttings?
3. should I use nutrient?
4. should I use medium other than neoprene & a 3" basket?
5. can fogger be in same container or piped in?
And any other info would be great, Thanks

You must have gotten a hold of some hash oil LG. I still love ya though :hug:

I like downers myself but sativa is a more mild "upper" kind of mellows the world but lets ideas and energy flow. I like to do creative things when I smoke sativas.

1. how long should the fogger run?


24/7

2. should I use a Dome over the cuttings?
No using a dome inhibits rooting and promotes rot. Let the plants search for water a little and the will root faster. A fog environment works well.

3. should I use nutrient?
No nutrients. You can use a rooting hormone like clonex in the reservoir.

4. should I use medium other than neoprene & a 3" basket?
Depends on how you want your plant supported. Without a medium the plant will have to be tired or supported as it grows.

5. can fogger be in same container or piped in?
Yes this is how I run with the fogger in the same container. I'm not sure how I would pipe it in. Make sure you use the correct size fogger. I'm having some problems now because I tried to use smaller foggers in larger reservoirs. Not producing enough fog can cause problems. I'm going to fix my problem by installing drip lines.

[/QUOTE]And any other info would be great, Thanks

Foggers work well IMO. It is important that you choose the correct size fogger for your application. I made the error of using a smaller foggers in my system and the plants are suffering as a result.

Check out mainlandmart.com for the cheapest bulk supply of foggers I can find yet.

Yes with cool tubes and with out. I highly recommend cool-tubes they will lower your electric bill dramatically. Running an A/C unit 24/7 can cost a lot. Also consider insulating your room, it will help reduce heating and cooling cost.

Running your lights at night helps tremendously, and basements are ideal unless you have really cold winters.

Good luck to you bro:peace:

does lollipopping decrease your yeild a lot by cutting off the bottom 1/3 of the plant? Did i just lose a 1/3 of my yeild by cutting this bottom 1/3 off?

Depends on your set-up. In a SOG the loss is not much and it is only small buds. If the plant has plenty of space around it to grow removing the bottom one third will probably decrease yield quite a bit.

The point of removing the bottom foliage in a SOG is to increase air-circulation around the plants and create a single large, dense cola that is easy to trim.

Air pumps pump air and water pumps pump water. Foil tape is probably near the ducting/HVAC section of you local hardware store.

is this a a symptom of rapid pH fluctuation? Nute burn? Something else?

DWC (lollipopping) 5 gallon bucket day 42 flower under 600w hps (currently day 3 flush to get rid of salt buildup etc)

Any ideas?

Hard to say without more info. What has your Ph been? Why not just change out your reservoir, and run a mild bloom solution and some H2O2 or hygrozyme? Hydro responds fast so if you don't see improvement with in 48 hrs you have another issue.

Probably, since I have no recollection whatsoever of that post. Eeek. Should I be glad it's all gone? I dunno. Make some more? Umm, dunno.

I do know this: I'm going to bed.

My solution to the mosquito problem...

No more puddles... no more algae.. no more bugs...

And I have a spare water pump circulating within the res to make sure the little pests don't move in there..:eyesmoke:

Here is the new tray and res...

Cheers! :hump:

hey newgrowth,

I was just wondering what's the easiest way to keep motherplants in a hydroponic setup. Can I just leave them in 4 inch rock wool cubes and hand water them a weak nute solution when necessary? Thanks a lo!
