    The Organic Water Dance

    Have any of you tried the blumats that hook to a water line? I have running water in my room and would like to give the patio set a try.

    clone from a topping?

    I prefer tops over branches. They all root the same but the structure can be lost using a branch on some strains. I have a holy grail that was a branch so now every plant looks like Charley browns Christmas tree :lol:

    Electricity usage. Flagging the cops

    Our city keeps records of what houses have been updated with in terms of gas or electric furnaces. They also know I have an in ground pool since there were permits pulled in order to install it. Having your house appraised will let the city know what you have also. When we purchased our house...

    Running Ballast 400w HPS @ 50% b/c of heat?

    I have ran my 600's on 50% to beat the heat. I saw no difference in plant growth really but it was not for long. I recently replace all of my lights with LED's and the temps dropped dramatically.

    Cheap ways to cool grow room or grow tent

    Lol. I chose my avatar due to the abundance of bad info given on the grow forums. The plants do just fine in the 90's. I however cannot stand to be in there for very long so I shoot for the 80's. Depending on day time temps my flower room fluctuates as low as 50 degrees ( lights out ) in...

    Cheap ways to cool grow room or grow tent

    Not Cobs lol. The light is direct to the canopy that is for sure! I used to run my cool tubes with no reflectors since my entire room is reflective. I got used to it being bright as hell in there. I still get the same amount of growth per day so they must be working. The plants used to...

    Help with fungus gnats.

    I mix a small amount of spinosad in my water when watering. Works pretty well just don't go over board with it because it WILL hurt the plant. I also have a 5" pan fan out of a computer or something with a nylon over the back side. Sucks them in and they can't get out. I recently used...

    Cheap ways to cool grow room or grow tent

    My rooms have already hit the mid 90's and summer hasn't started yet. Was running two 600 cool tubes at night. I just switched to LED's everywhere and the temps dropped into the mid 70's. I have a 15,000 Btu A/C that I keep raising the set temp on trying to get into the mid to upper 80's. Not...

    Store Bought "Super-Soil"

    I don't post much anymore. Have you been following anyone here yet? Greasemonkyman if I spelled it correctly is a great person to follow. Same as Dr Who, Rm3 and I am drawing a blank here. There are some great growers here, you just have to figure out who they are.

    how to build a vortex brewer

    I use a similar air pump. How do you clean all of the piping? None of my piping is glued together so it comes apart easy.

    Store Bought "Super-Soil"

    4 year old thread. If you want to grow water only you need to follow a few people in the organic section. I grow water only. For the most part I use 18 gallon tubs but I do flower in some 3.8 gallon pots. I can make it till finish on some strains without fading and have some fade on others...

    Cloning clones?

    I have cloned clones for a few years now. Only one strain (Platinum Bubba) went sideways on me and started popping beans every time every clone. I will toss another seed and see if I get a keeper to replace it. Iv'e got 7 strains going right now.

    how to build a vortex brewer

    Don't over think it. Tim knows his stuff! That Mini Microbulator in mustangstudfarms post works perfect. Super simple. If you need more than 5 gallons make it larger. 5 gallons will treat my entire back yard. I'm on .27 acre.

    Clones not doing so good in bubbler..

    I had great success with my home made aero cloner using fresh clear water until I purchased this house. Now the only way I can keep a clone green until it roots is by mixing the 4 gallons of right out of the tap water with 1/4 cup B1, 10ml Canna Terra Vega, 10ml Cal-mag and 1/4 tsp ph down. I...
