My wife has become interested in growing indoor Brugmansias (can't blame her, really: they're lovely plants). For those who don't know, Brugs require lots of watering (although they need well-drained soil), lots of fertilizer, and lots of light. This made me think that it might be worthwhile...

In mid-August I transferred two Dutch Passion Twilights from their smaller Hempy buckets to larger quarters. One was placed in a 2 gal bucket: the other in a 2 gallon Waterfarm. Here is the plant which was grown in the Hempy Bucket and here is the plant which was grown in the Waterfarm...

Since I have begun cooking with cannabis, I have noticed that space cakes seem to get more potent the longer they stay in the fridge. A batch which is very nice when it's completed will be absolutely lethal two weeks later. I'm wondering if oxidization and other chemical processes don't...

Here's Audrey in day 46 of flower. Double Gum is supposedly ready to harvest in 45-50 days, but I've gathered it's typically best to give it more like 60+ While Audrey's buds aren't so fat as I might like, I'm just happy that she's alive. Audrey is my first plant which I've raised this far...

Current plan: veg Twilights for 2 weeks outdoors (my balcony has a very nice southern exposure). On or about July 1 bring them indoors to my Secret Jardin tent and put them in 12/12 under 400w HPS. I am presently using approximately 4l (1 gal.) containers -- I may transplant them into 2gal...

I just erected my Secret Jardin DR120 (120cm x 120cm x 200cm): when I get a replacement bulb I'm going to be using a 400w HPS to light my babies. At present I do not have a Cooltube, and would prefer to use the standard issue reflector I already have rather than spending any more money getting...

I'm new to growing -- all assistance greatly appreciated.

These little beans are 5/5 with germination -- and in a little under 36 hours, no less! Has anyone grown these to harvest, and if so, how was the final product?

On 3 April I began germinating 5 freebie Skunk x Haze seeds. As of today I have four very healthy and light-loving little sprouts. Yesterday I also began germinating 5 Dutch Passion Twilights and 5 Homegrown Fantaseeds Shivas. I also have a White Label Double Gum which has survived my...

I have been acidifying the water with vinegar(*) (and some hydrogen peroxide to prevent sliminess and algae) before topping up my Waterfarm. I had the pH at a very nice 5.3 last night. This morning it is at 7.1: PPM has risen from 950 to 990. I have two plants in the Waterfarm; one is a...

I'm waiting on a CoolTube with a 400w HPS light. I know that I will need a fan for this (it's going to be lighting a 2' x 2' x 6' space in a cabinet). My present plan is to mount the Cooltube at about 5' high. Given that my babies are in a 15" high Waterfarm, that means they'd never be more...

I was going to put a 250w HPS + Cooltube in my 2' x 2' x 6' space, but bought a 400w instead since it was the same price. How much more challenging will it be to keep the 400w-er reasonably cool vs. the same setup at 250w?

I'm presently using a pair of 105w CFLs to illuminate a pair of babies who are going into their third week of vegging. I've ordered a 400w HPS and Cooltube and was planning to trick the cabinet out for that bad boy in time for blooming. I was going to do a straight CFL grow, but the cost of...

I've currently got two Bubblegum sprouts (2.5" tall as of today: 13 days vegging under 210w CFL) in a Waterfarm. I've got them growing in a 2 x 4 x 6 cabinet which is divided in two: the second half has 2 3' compartments and the plants are currently growing in the first half. I am going to...

The area for my grow cabinet rarely gets below 80* and is often in the 82*- 84* range (a combination of southern exposure and an overpowered heating system). It will be difficult-to-impossible for me to cool it much below this -- and we haven't even started talking about lights. I've got a...

Two seedlings, currently 1 wk. old, under 4 30w CFL bulbs in a 3' x 2' x 2' space in a 6' x 4' x 2' cabinet. (For flowering I hope to move them to the 6' high space). I am currently waiting on mylar safety blankets, four LED red/blue panels and four 105w CFL bulbs. I plan to use the panels...
