What is the best reflective surface? White panda film, flat white paint (any specifics), gloss white paint, black pain, reflective dimple foam insulation board, dull sheen aluminum reflective board... ? Does it matter or can it depend on Veg or Bloom stages? Just looking for some finer...

I did some research on ways to fill-in or put some more size and density to my buds. A lot of what I found was simple basic level information with some variations. Things like: keeping temps below 85F, controlling humidity, CO2, airflow... But a few things stuck out to me: Reducing the...

It really depends on how much you have to trim per harvest. Twister makes 3 different kinds. They have the large T2 trimmer for serious commercial farmers, the T4 that is for the mid level and does about 4/7lbs wet/dry, and they just came out with the home grower. I think the new home grow...

www.growershouse.com has the cheapest prices anywhere. They price-match just about everything and they are the leading supplier of Gavita lighting...

I am also using teas like alfalfa and kelp. Also guano and casting teas. I said "Snaking system" because I feed teas and full strength weekly on my own and use the BluMat for a continuous feeding and moisture. When they are set correctly, i've left them for 3 weeks and no issues. But usually...

30. 5 separate systems. 55 gallon drum filled with 1/2 strength Canna A+B (I used AN Connoisseur but changed). with a 5 gallon bucket onto with the fed lines running from that. A pump in the 55 pumps nutes up into 5 gallon continuously with an overflow back down to 55. So constant passive...

Ive recently converted my grow to have the BluMat feeding system. It isn't an automated system for feeding. Its more of a snack system. I use Connoisseur Perfect pH as my base nutrient in the BluMat systems. I feed extras every few days as they develop. Im looking for a better line of base...

Were there any heat issues? I ask because they look larfy AF. They didn't look like that earlier... ?

I have been doing research on the use of various proteins. Some interesting information that I found I posted below. I have read about using "milk" in a diluted feeding but can see some issues there. A grower explained the used of bacterial levels within a "soil" medium topped with dung/cow...

Can a protein feeding like a lactic protein, help with heat? There are soil and tea recipes that will create like a Kvass within the medium. This can help with high temps. Waaaaaay back in the day slaves and field workers were given a beer or Kvass to help them through the hotter days. It was...

Could you instead lower the power during "midday depression" instead lights off? Or evan shut some off for 30 and leave some on....?

Let it go.

Sounds Nice! Any advice on how well your dehumidifiers are working? I have had a bit of an issue in one room with high Humidity. Also, do you run LEC/LEP in pre flower to harden the plants before flower? Over been flirting with that idea for a while. Thanks.

For a while now Ive used T5 fixtures for veg growth. They are effective and efficient. But some strains seem to never really harden up or build enough vigor to maximize their potential. Using the T5 fixtures were cheap and easy to use. They produce low heat and can be set up with multiple...

This grow? You had said earlier that this was sort of just for kicks. Did you have a goal in mind as far as the final yeild, potency, or just to test techniques?
