    Thinking Outside the Box

    It seems many are stuck in the belief that conventional science is our friend. As a 5+ year home grower/experimenter I have attempted variations of some of these technologies, especially as they relate to hydroponics and energizing the water used to mix/feed my plants. I can't begin to tell you...

    How Often to Feed During Lights On with F & D?

    I've been using various hydro methods for 5+ years (the last 2+ using F & D), following the typical 4-6 hour flooding schedule; 6 hours in mid-late flower when light schedule is ~ 11/13. It dawned on me that on my current 6 hour flood schedule that means plants are only getting one flood...

    Do Small Rootballs Always Mean Small Plant Harvest

    Do you believe that ONLY big rootballs can produce big plants? Like most old methods, the answer is not 100%.YES I have grown plants using HPA and have gotten huge, highly efficient rootballs, but the plant size did not match up, at least compared to the relatively small rootballs I have...

    What is Recommended Mixing Order for Dry Nuterients

    I am switching from premixed liquids to NPK dry powders. Oddly, their feeding chart does not provide the correct mixing order, just the amounts. Thinking all powders would be mixed in basically the same order Alas, I cannot find a correct mixing order here, or elsewhere I am using Yucca ...

    Insight: Amare Tech Solar Spec LED Panels

    Due to it becoming clear that the BML SPYDR 600 that I chose the spectrums for to be good for both veg and flower, has a major short-coming; too much red for vegging (though doing a fine job of flowering). I pretty much knew that reed should be on a separate switch, but guys were growing...
