Title says it all. I'm a licensed and insured electrician looking for work. I'm not sure how many people from Minnesota frequent this website but I figured I'd throw it out there. The CBD farm I was trying to get going didn't happen, too many damn deer. :( Or hey, feel free to ask me anything...

I plan on direct sowing around 50 seeds in a 600 square foot garden in a few weeks and was hoping swim could give me some advice. My soil is rated prime farmland, and classified as mestic. I plan on tilling in some 10-10-10 fertilizer just for good measure but was wondering if anyone had any...

Thanks for the replies everyone. These were clones that I received and put into flower immediately, so they didn't get tall. Not worth revegging. I just cut the colas off, and am going to let them go a bit longer so hopefully the bottoms will stiffen up. I've got one baron stem in dirt with a...

When searching for revegging, a topic I've seen discussed here previously, I'm having trouble finding my answers. I'm not finding any with the term in their title's so I figure I'd start one. What I've read before is that you can essentially take a plant that has matured and flowered, harvest...

I use a 30 gph pump for a micro flood and drain setup. it's got a max head of 1.2 feet. My aero clone uses a 400gph, 10 360 degree spray heads positioned only about a foot above the pump in a pvc pipe system, if that. Some examples.

Water pumps have what's called max head, and that's the vertical distance it will push water. If you want a good spray coming out strong, get a pump that will have a max head a little higher than the height of where your sprayers are. Here's a link I found with a bunch of different pumps for...

All you need is something like this Just don't do anything stupid like this or this

Now to my understanding, this is saying that surface aeration will oxygenate the surface only, possibly leaving the bottom of the pond, lake, or reservoir in an anoxic state. So long as you're moving the water from the bottom of the reservoir, lake, or pond in some way, you're oxygenating the...

I think you should stick them in the freezer for a few hours to reverse the effects of being in such high temperatures for so long. It's kind of like the difference between winter air and summer air in your tires on your car.

I tried using miracle grow liquid feed in a hydro setup. Damn near killed my plants, but it was entirely my fault. I used WAY too much. Fucking stupid me. I used almost enough to water 200 sq ft in a 5 gallon bucket. Talk about nutrient burn!!! I've used the pink and blue in soil and thought...

I wouldn't worry about any kind of stirrer for the nutrients, with the draining and the pumping there should be enough flow to create some kind of a "mixing current". Like I said, I have a 30 GPH pump that has a built in choke slide to control the flow rate. I had to turn it down about half way...

I agree with this, here's a 3D model I made of what a CFL reflector should look like.

I'll give it a shot, my airstone is a piece of shit anyways. I'll just feed some extra tubing into the reservoir after losing the airstone and hell, maybe I'll even put a few more tubes in there. Can't hurt any, and it seems like my airstone is clogging up anyhow after a few bouts with some root...

I went and picked myself up a scale today so I could get a precise measurement for the salt. The thing only weighs to the closest .1g, so I converted grams to troy ounces of .032150, or .0322. I didn't have enough purified water left from screwing around with teaspoon measuring spoons last...

I found a page that tells you how to make your own TDS calibration solution, and your own TDS meter if you don't want to buy one and know how to read a circuit schematic. It's cool that do it yourself instructions exist for a TDS meter, but I only care about the solution to calibrate the meter I...
