    HPS cooling - the light itself

    I have a 600w hps in an air cooled hood with a 6 inch inline fan on it. The fan motor died and it will be awhile till I can replace it. Heat around the plants is still ok since there is plenty of other air moving from other fans. But I'm a little concerned about the temp inside the hood with no...

    weird leaf curl - photo

    I've never seen this before. This came up literally in one hour. There are 4 plants in this tub, they are 3 weeks old. The two in the back suddenly got this leaf curl, while the 2 in front are fine. They were fed Sun and have been great looking since. The 4 in the tub immediately beside this one...

    Recent seeds from Nirvana have not done well

    Of my last 20 feminized Northern Lights, only half have made it to seedlings. I have grown this strain for a long time and used to get 90% or better regularly. Anyone else experienced this? Anyone know of another good NL strain? Also, I grew AK48 for the first time and only got 2 of 5. That's...

    Why the current wave of "gun control" is unconstitutional

    On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the various gun control proposals that have been floated in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shootings. Although they are said to be merely "reasonable regulations" of the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms, most or...

    Shifting to 12/12 from necessity

    The only auto I have grown is White Dwarf, and I would like to do some again. But, I would need to finish their last 4-5 weeks under 12/12 light in a flowering room (logistics). My question is what effect might that have? I agree that more light is one of the advantages of autos, but it's this...

    Airstone for AG 7?

    I just bought an Aerogarden 7 to start new plants and I'm waiting for it to come. I used an AG before and back then you needed a small airstone and pump. I wondered if the newer 7 had air built in or if you still need to add it. Thanks!

    Mixing hydro nutrients before adding to res

    I use Humboldt Oneness, Ginormous, Sea Cal and Sea Mag as part of a regular schedule. I have now gotten conflicting answers from Humboldt on whether it is ok to mix the four together in a quart or so of water before adding to each of my four reservoirs. The alternative is measuring each of the...

    4 week plant - top turned yellow

    I've seen yellow tips but never the top multiple leaves turning a pale yellow. This is a 4 week NL in hydro on a Humboldt regimen of Oneness, Ginormous, Sea Cal and Sea Mag. The bottom 2/3 of the plant look good and the roots look normal. These top leaves don't seem to be drying out or even...

I have a few Qs for y'all: What settings on the unit...

    Effect of light leaks on plants with 3 weeks to go?

    I'm stuck with space where there is flowering going on. My choices are: to not veg and flower at the same time, and have fewer harvests; to grow 12/12 from seed; or to rig up the best space within the space as I can to veg for 2-3 weeks - hence the title question. I'm wondering what damage some...

    Where to buy pH meter with long probe?

    I need the probe to be on an extendable cable to access water level and still read the meter. I see them very pricey, how about under $100? Thanks!

    Stunted seedlings? Never seen this.

    I've had seedlings that didn't do well, but these are different. They are 12 days from beginning germination. They are 3-4 inches, have ok roots, second set of real leaves, and look healthy. The thing is, they have been just like that for at least 3 days. My seedlings (Northern Lights) are...

    Growing in coolers first time - Q on moving plants and roots

    My plan is to start plants in a propagation setup, then move them to coolers with 2 plants per, for four weeks of 12/12. Up to that point they would be in a tent under 250-400w. Then I would move them to a larger grow area where they can be trained, under 600w and to coolers with just one...

    31 dems to vote against Holder?

    The House will vote a contempt measure against him and 31 dems might be joining. Those kinds of votes are usually pretty straight line. Sounds to me like dems are positioning for Holder to take a fall. You know there's a lot of hand-wringing in the WH wondering if the damage is greater with the...
