I have been growing for almost a year now and I decided to analyze my yield this month as a way of making positive changes for the future. I was told from an experienced friend in the business that a good yield is 1lb per light. (do you agree?) I have set my target on 12oz or 3/4 lb per...

This may be an electrical question, but I would love insight from anyone who may shed insight. I have a ballast that is a HPS/MH switch. Today it stopped working. Then came on for a minute every 30mins or so? It has been colder than usual here in mid Jan so that might be the problem as the...

Hello fellow grower, Like you, when I prepare my buds for drying/curing I have a bunch of trimmings still fresh with THC. In the past I have rolled joints with them and either smoked them myself or given/sold them to people as a means of getting some value from them. That worked fine when I...

I am going to set up two new rooms for flowering only. Let's call them F2.0 and F2.1. The attached diagram shows how I plan to set things up with 4 tables per room. *********For the purpose of this post lets assume I have figured out all wall, door, light, table, etc. construction. This post is...

I was giving electrical work a try today by adding another outlet in a more ideal location. In testing the outlet the black(hot) wire hit the side of the outlet box. It sparked and I immediately turned off the circuit. In and around the same time that this happened (I cannot be certain the...

I recently went on a trip (as I routinely do) and as with any trip the chances of coming home to an issue is medium/high. This trip was no exception to the rule. I have 4K in flowering in various stages from week 2 to 8 with a total of over 50 plants. All are in soilless sunshine 4 1 gal...

I am running 4K plus some smaller lights for mothers/clones. I have 3HPS (flower) and 1MH (veg), all 1000s. One of my HPS, the newest and nicest one ironically, keeps burning out timers. Light --> ballast --> outlet This is my current set up as it typical of any light arrangement. I have...

Has anyone used Spray Safe for mites? If so please let me know your thoughts and also let me know where online you purchased it. I am in Canada. Thanks!

I have a few questions I am hoping you can assist me with or at least point me in a direction for some education. My specific questions are denoted by *** To set the stage. I am currently operating with 5K watts and plan to expand to having 20K. I plan to be maxed out at 20K with a yield of ~50...

I am trying to move the industry in a less of a pot head direction and more of a sophisticated medicine and alternative to alcohol. In doing so I would like to package my product in something more intelligent and classy than a ziploc bag. Thoughts. Thanks!

I have a space about 26 x 35 and I want to set up a bunch of flowering rooms. My plan was to have 4 individual rooms each at about a quarter of the space and have as much activity in each room (lights, tables, etc.) and then do each room a different strain. Or should I do one big room and save...

I want to set up a mister for my cloning chambers. I am a relative newbie and definitely a newbie to misters and setting them up. How can I set up my cloning chamber so I can leave for 3 days? I am guessing a mister. Any tips or insight on setting them up. Thanks!

I am in the process of setting up a new room and have to decide if I go with two 4x4 trays or one 4x8 tray. Obviously a bigger tray equals a bigger resevior, but what else does it mean? Thoughts? I am doing a flood/drain method and am leaning towards 4x4s. Thanks!

I am a relative newbie. Spidermites took a toll on my first crop of clones but I managed to contain them with Doktor Doom. I have been advised to dip clones in a toxic--put your eye and hand gear on--solution before transplanting them. I did this with my first group (see above) and ended up...

I was tempted to sit down with my lawyer and see if I could determine specifically marijuana/marihuana laws in Canada. As a grower I appreciate I am taking risk. I want to educate myself on my rights and what risk I am really taking. Friends of mine in the industry have advised getting as...

For whatever reason I struggle with cloning. I have read a bunch of books and seen videos on u-tube over and over and for whatever reason my little girls don't have a high survival rate. My challenge starts with determining how to clone (Ie where on the plant is the perfect branch). From...

I am a relative newbie who is currently growing in soilless mix using a waste of my time watering can. I would like to scale out my op and add some automation so I may take a weekend off with the Mrs. if I choose. As a result of this direction I have decided undoubtedly that I am going hydro...
