    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    I'm 3.5 weeks into flower with a "patio picker" SIP. Got it from Lowes, Home Depot has them too for $20-30. Been working well so far, I let the res go dry twice to get rid of fungus gnats laying eggs in the top layer of soil. I am trying out doing a cluster of multiple clones vegged just past...

    Why is it necessary to put 3 inch seedlings under 18/6 ?

    Are you asking why the clones flowered? Right now and especially last month outside daylight time was 12, increasing to 13.5 hours. That will trigger weed to flower, no matter if it is a clone or 6 month old plant. Under 18/6 artificial light they don't get confused about flowering, and have...

    SIP thread -- (Sub-Irrigated Planter)

    Anybody seen this thing? The "GroBucket" https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1942221820/you-dont-need-a-green-thumb-you-just-need-the-grob Looks cool that with this you don't need two buckets. How they do the water level indicator is clever too.

    HSO - Chocolate Mint OG Outdoors

    Here's a chocolate mint og I have in 48 days into flower. Can confirm that it clones easy, and is a light feeder compared to the blue dream and purple dream next to it.

    Lifecake app for easy journaling

    Anybody else use the Lifecake app on your phone to keep track of grows? I've been using it for a while and it's great to quickly keep a photo and comment log of a grow, my favorite part is it keeps tracks of the time by itself so checking how long one plant has been in flower is easy peasy. Its...

    Who's Got The Fostiest Buds? Let's See How Frosty A Bud Can Really Get?

    I have no idea what kind this is(strong tropical, fruity scent and sticky) but it is my best looking harvest yet, pics are 75 days post flip, I cut the tops on day 80 when I started seeing enough amber crystals with a pocket microscope. I've been struggling keeping plants healthy beyond 1 month...

    COB holders - the basics

    For me, after messing around with one ideal holder, the advantages of no soldering and interchangeability were outweighed by the PIA it was to tap and thread the heatsink. Plus it meant more tools and my time. I can see how the holders would do well in some applications, like a large LED panel...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    here is my newest revision of single cob modules if anyone needs ideas on how to rig up their own. Found those blue plastic pieces at Goodwill for cheap and they are a good size to be the base for a single module. Simple 550 cord loops to the hanging line allow you to easily adjust the angle of...

    Sour Candy clone + DWC Grow in homemade Cabinet: test-run

    Final days of the Sour Candy, It's milky pretty much everywhere I look with the microscope. Last sunday was the end of week 9 at 12/12. The main-lined OG suffered a significant trunk center split at the first pair of branches. Never recovered and it's growth stopped. I took it out and...

    Sour Candy clone + DWC Grow in homemade Cabinet: test-run

    SC at the end of week 7 is plumping up noticeably now. Still has the nute burn look even though I've giving it lower strength feedings, 500-800ppm (my tap water starts out at 80ppm). or is that still too much? More of it's pistils are turning burnt orange-ish now. DWC I topped the WW at a...

    Sour Candy clone + DWC Grow in homemade Cabinet: test-run

    Day 41 for the Sour Candy, still trucking along. It's had the "burnt" leaf tips for a while, but I think that is from the CFLs and not nute-burn, anyone think otherwise? I test the runoff water each watering and the tail end of runoff has been testing around 6.7-6.9 consistently, The water and...

    Critique my design

    Thanks for the comments everyone, I left the 2nd shelf in at first and had the tub sitting on that, but opted to go directly onto the res for more vertical space. I concur about res temps, I like the idea of a satellite res in a cooler location, the room this will be in has a bathroom that stays...

    Critique my design

    Using all the grow threads on here as inspiration I've been slowly piecing together my version of a draining table with recirculating reservoir grow table, for 2 plants, each in 3 gallon grow bags with a hempy style soilless mix, coco coir, 25% perlite and some grow cubes This is for a small...
