Working out of town a lot I got a late start on finishing my grow area outdoors. Anyhow i thought i would put up some photos of how things are going. I have some Amherst sour diesel, Kandy Kush, Blue dream and 2 Chocolopes. They are in 30 gallon pots in the ground to try and keep the plants...

I have been using a environment controller a friend let me borrow till he set things back up at their new place. It worked ok but it is kind of a piece of shit, it is the XGC-1e. My main complaints with this box are this. #1 It does not have any kind of battery inside to keep at least the timer...

I am looking for a high CBD strain such as AC DC or Charoletts web. My mother has seizures and from what I read these seem to work the best for her problems. I live in southern california and am having trouble finding them. I do not care if they are clones or seeds, either way is fine. If anyone...

This is my first hydro crop in flower. it is 6 weeks in with Blue Dream and Northern Lights Special. I am happy with the plants so far, they are very forgiving. I noticed i under fed them for a while till i had a better feel for them but i am pleased with them for my first hydro run. I used...

Ok my hanna blackstone pump arrived and wanting to hook it up this weekend to my controller and see how it works. I am not going to test it on my res, going to use a 55 gallon drum with water in it. Here is my question i have for anyone who is using a ph controller and pump on a 100gal res. What...

I purchased one of these about a week ago and it arrived today. I was impressed with it when I removed it from the box. It feels and looks like a quality product. It has 1 electrical outlet for a ph up valve or pump and 1 outlet for ph down. It comes with a long cord for the probe and is fully...

I bought the table for $100, I build the stand out of 1" aluminum box tube 1/8 thick. Bought the res on graigs list for $100. already had the water and air pump. I put a circulatory pump in the res to keep the water moving and 2 good sized air stones. I have a heater in the res but it almost...

I was reading that in big aquariums they use CO2 to ph down the water. I was a bit confused by this. Then it got me thinking, i already have a CO2 tank. Has anyone tried this? if so what were the results? Does know of any bad results by adding CO2 to the water?? i haven't tried this yet, i just...

I have been doing some research on ph controllers for keeping the ph of the res in check. I recently purchased this controller and pump. Blackstone dosing pump from Hanna, I bought it at Farmtek for $135 and a Pinpoint ph controller at Bulkreefsupply for $199. It says it controlles ph up and...

The other day I was at the hydro shop getting some strapped. (I know every one has their own opinions about if it works or not but I believe it does work and have used it for some time.) A guy I know well works there and he was saying to me that they have been having problems with the strapped...

I have a shade building outside in southern California where the plants are. They are in 10 and 30 gallon pots. The only thing I used on them is botanicare very light about 1/6 the dosage recommended because I was hoping to get more flavor and not have the chemical taste. I also used earthworm...

Here is my newest shade house. Not knowing what shade % to use my first one is 50%. it works very good and I am having good results. My second shade building I built for a friend out of pallet racks and some 5 in channel. The finished size was 8'6"x 24'. We used 30% shade cloth on his and it is...

I live in a desert climate, the sun is hot and relentless. I have not grown much inside or outside, only a few years with moderate success. Outside I built a PVC frame and covered it with 50% aluminet shade cloth. It seems to work good keeping the heat down on the plants and yet still seems to...

I do not know where to put this question on the site. Sorry if in the wrong place. I am curious I made dry ice keif or hash what ever you want to call it with a bunch of popcorn buds I had. It worked great. My question is this can I put this keif directly into another substance such as rubbing...

Last year I built a little hoop house out of PVC. It worked good but I get strong winds where I live and it did not hold up the best. This year I built a stronger one closer to the house to block some of the winds. I used 1" sch 40 PVC for everything even the door. I have built everything from...

I have been trying an idea I had for a few months now and I think it is a good one. Maybe it has been done already I do not know but it works good I think. I have been wanting to maximize my lighting inside because where I live electric is crazy. Of course I was smoking some nice herb from my...

I was wondering if anyone has used praying mantis or lady bugs to fight off pests before? If you have how did it work for you?? Or what would you use instead. I have a 10x11 flower room and a 6x14 veg room. Any input would be great. I really do not like to use pestacides but will if I must...
