    Measure 80....going down in flames and smoke..puff puff NOT PASS!

    Examples of how this bill is poorly written Before I start - Yes, I am excerpting from the law. If anyone has actually read the bill, they will attest to the sleep inducing blather that makes up 80% of the text and I didn`t want to put you to sleep. If you have insomnia - you can go here...

    stacking rockwool/stonewool cubes

    No, I`m not sure what I saw with my own eyes. I probably should have read a book instead, about what someone else saw or did. I do not post theory's - I only post about what I have personally seen or done. I never said that if you do not stack cubes, that you will get tip rot - I said that you...

    stacking rockwool/stonewool cubes

    @matticus408 - tip rot happens when the top of the medium (rock wool - dirt - whatever ) fails to dry out sufficiently. Where the stem leaves the medium, the stalk will stay too wet and rot. This is often seen in new seedlings, but can also happen to fully vegged plants, I had a friend loose a...

    can two different strains be grow in the same hydro system

    I currently - and have for the last 8 years - grown multiple strains feeding off the same res. I am currently growing ATF, Pineapple xpress, Aff-goo, Super Lemon haze, Pot of Gold and Shiskaberry - all feeding of the same res - running between 750 and 1200 PPM, depending on growth stage. The...

    stacking rockwool/stonewool cubes

    I use stacked blocks in flood and drain. I cut out a portion of 6x6 cube and place the 4x4 inside. I do this for 2 reasons: 1 Adds stability when flooding 2 Helps prevent tip rot by allowing the top of the cube to stay drier

    A big thanks to Greenhouse Seed Co

    I have been growing Greenhouse strains for about 5 years, with Super lemon haze being the latest. I have never had a plant hermie and I use the feminized seed :)

    Cloning Fem Seed Plants

    I run Super Lemon Haze from a fem seed. It does seem that the first couple of times cloning that they take longer, but as the strain stabilizes, they seem to start easier. I would just take more clones than necessary and then pick the clones that root more easily and are stronger. I am on my 5th...

    Root Aphids

    These bastards eat the new roots. I have seen the damage on rock wool cubes, where the roots are sprouting out. They turn the white roots brown and the plants just stagnate. With in 2 days you should notice the difference - plants will green up and go through a growth spurt. Again best of luck

    Root Aphids

    I had the same problem ( came in with a gift clone ). I did the same as you and it worked fine. I kept adding Azatrol for the next couple of res changes. I also used axatrol in the clone reservoir and added it at the beginning of the veg and bloom stages as it takes a while to totally get rid of...

    Tray never fully drains

    As far as your hose situation goes - you could 1 run an extension cord from pump to bathroom 2 place something heavy enough to hold down the hose 3 ask someone to help As for draining - you have it backwards. The pump side should be lower. The pump will back flow when it is not pumping...

    ebb and flow, what to put plants in?

    I use Rookwool with a cocotex mat underneath. I have used hydroton with the mat before, but noticed that the hydroton floated away from the cubes and settled wherever it wanted. The mat gives the roots something to hold on to for stability - the hydroton helps the roots stay moist. As the...

    Soil mother plants / Hydro clones?

    I do it all the time. No problems. It is easier to control the size of the mothers in soil, by limiting pot size.

    what should a seed bank do if the shipment didnt arrived ?

    It basically depends on laws of the country shipped to. If, as in the US it is illegal, you are taking a chance on the success of the attempted smuggling. Unless you have an agreement ( such as Attitude ) that they will reship, if you pay extra for insurance, they are not responsible. If the...
