Ok guys, I got some blackberry kush that have been Mg deficient for a while now and I can not figure it out. I just moved to a brand new area and am unsure of the water quality, it's in the mountains so I figured it would be better than in town but I'm not too sure. All I know is that the ppm is...

Hey guys I know this info is probably here somewhere but I cant seem to find any info on the stickies at the moment. My question is do you guys continue to veg after you transplant into your #10 container at all? I would assume you give the plant at least a few days to adjust to its new home...

Ok guys So here it is I have 4 ladies vegging in 7 gal smarties in Vermifire soil under a 1000w hps. (was about to flower but they lost vigor). My symptoms are purple stems, yellowing and deformed new growth, small new leaves and overall Lime/yellowing from the top down. They have been in the 7...

Hey guys, So I have been running supersoil outdoors for the last 3 seasons with great success. I am new to indoor growing and have already mixed my batch of supersoil but currently have 4 blueberry kush ladies vegging in 7 gals. of straight vermifire soil. They have been vegging in their 7 gal...

Hey guys, so I have a rather large basement that I am looking to get started growing it. I figure I have room for up to 8 lights or so. I am contemplating between using 600s/1000s. I understand the 600w ballasts are the most efficient ballast out there, only a fraction less lumens than a 1000...

Ok so I have a 4X8 growbox built inside of a shed out back. I am going to be running 2k watts from a sub-panel on 30 amp breakers. I have the box framed with 2X4's and sided with 3/8 plywood. The roof is also gabled to match the roof of the shed. I have everything figured out at this point...

Ok guys, help me out here. I have a 10X20 shed in my backyard that I want to put a few lights into. I am thinking of building a 4X8X8 box and putting 2 1K watt hoods in it. I chose 4X8 because it would be fairly easy to build with 8 full sheets of plywood. I could mount ballasts on the outside...

Hey guys so I am doing my second SS run outdoor with pretty good success, although I started noticing some yellowing from the bottom up that is kind of intriguing me. I know there is plenty of N in my soil. (I accidentally used 6 lbs. instead of 5) 1 or 2 plants are actually looking like they...

So every year my outdoor plants always start flowering sometime during july, then re-veg for a week or 2 then start flowering again! I hate it, I throw flood lights on them at night with little to no sucess, any ideas or reasoning why they do this? I am in central cali, great summer full sun I...

So I was wondering if you guys are using less super soil in larger containers than smaller ones?? For example in a 50-100 gal pot would you still use 1/3-1/2 supersoil? I am only moving from 20 gals to 30 gals but I realized I may not have enough SS to fill the bigger pots to the 1/2 mark. Would...

So I am about to get planting for my first outdoor attempt at my new place of residence. Everything is green lit to go (landlord, medical etc. etc.) Only thing now is how am I gonna keep these out of view from my neighbors?? The fences are a standard 6 foot, and by county ordinance can not be...

Growing outdoors 1.5 miles from the beach, the fog rolls in every night and the humidity reaches 100% almost every night. I have been spot treating with serenade and actinovate with no luck whatso ever. Just now i found a circle of brown rotton fuzz at the base of my gdp plant. I wiped and...

Hey guys, I hate to say I have not been keeping a journal of my outdoor grow this year, as I have been working 50 hours a week while spending all of my free hours tending to the garden. This is my second supersoil grow and everything has been doing great until recently. I will attach a few...

Hey guys, been a while since I have been around these parts. Anyways I moved into a new spot and have an attic/closet that is not being used and I was thinking about putting a few 600w lights in there, only thing is its pretty dirty and gross. Seeing if you guys think it would be worth it, and...

Hey guys, so I have a few jillybean moms that I got as a gift last month, and I am trying to keep them alive (under floro's in my closet) untill It's warm enough to throw them outside. The other day it was sunny out (still cold) so I figured I would ease them into the sun and take them back in...
