    Who uses a crawl space?

    I am in a new location with a huge "crawl space". There is around 6 feet of height from the dirt floor to the floor joists. After retiring my 3rd grow cabinet around a year ago, I swore to myself I was not going to bother growing again until I had the means to set up a tent or framed grow room...

I have a small amount of kief I want to take on the go and dont really want to worry about spilling it or something. Im thinking of mixing it with a small amount of alcohol to get...

    Where have the oil burners gone?

    I like to use oil burners to vape kief. Ebay used to be full of them at 3 bucks a pop. I broke one yesterday and I know see they are nowhere to be found. Does anyone know what happened, or have another online source?

    Water curing - My water turned red!

    I got some shake for making tincture and i decided to try water curing it for a cleaner tincture. I had to use distilled water this time. The water instantly started turning to a dark rose color. There was a little bit of purple in the bud, but not that much! Could this be leftover salts from...

    Low profile fans

    I am looking for some circulation fans that don't take up much space in my 36"x16" cabinet, and can still blow my canopy around. I found the fans below, but wondered if anyone has found anything better, or 120v ac. The big ass desk fan needs to go...

    250w HPS bright/dim cycling

    I have a 250w HPS that is cycling bright and dim. The magnetic ballast kit I used is brand new, as is the lamp. Whenever I turn on the lamp, it warms up normally than dims down and turns a little more orange. This is by no means turning off. In its dim state the light is still blinding, just...

    GO Biothrive - Interesting pH findings

    I posted this in General Growing, but I am guessing those of you who can explain this hang out here. Educate me! ----------------- I was having some (presumably) pH issues with a couple of small plants. They looked pretty much finished, but somehow bounced back. I was getting pretty severe...

    What is wrong with you people?

    Marijuana legalization passed in 2 states last night and everyone still wants to talk party politics? I swear, most of the division in our people is not in money or way of life, its that republican/democrat lable. Political parties are dangerous. I suppose the democrats are going to gloat, and...

    biothrive ph/lockout/deficiency?

    I am on my 3rd grow with biothrive and I am having some issues I can't explain. As per GH instructions, I do not adjust the pH of my water. I am using a seedling starter mix that has not given me problems with larger plants in the past. On Friday I noticed a couple small brown spots on the...

    Pre grow temperature testing

    I have had problems before with temps being higher than expected. When I did a test run of my last cabinet, I put a thermometer into the tent, covered it with a white sheet of paper, and turned on all my lights for a few hours. I was set with a respectable temperature in the mid 70's. As my...

    Who Is An Engineer/Designer?

    In the past year, growing and everything related has become a topic of interest to me. This doesn't just apply to cannabis, but being a toker, it has a fair amount to do with it. I especially like indoor growing, as it comes with more complications to overcome. With my slight obsession for...

    CFL burning

    Its been said before if you are burning leaves with a CFL, the close proximity of the light is doing more good than the burn does harm to the plant. For the majority of this grow I have had my 26W CFLs turned sideways so I can throw more light downward. A couple days ago (into week 3 of...

    Small scale, high efficiency perpetual SOG

    I have been toying with this idea for about a month now while trying to find an upgrade to my CFL cabinet. Being a student, I have little money, so I gotta keep the initial start price low. I want to build a bigger flowering box in my closet. Max dimensions would be 4'L x 2.5'D x 3.5'H, but...

    Electronic Ballast. Is it really worth it?

    I can get this, or I can get a magnetic one. I know electronic is quieter and more efficient, but is it a $100 difference? I want to have 2 150W HPS's, and 250 bucks for a couple ballasts seems crazy compared to $50. I feel like I have to be missing something. If I got the magnetic ones...

    Will my fertilizer work?

    I have some granular plant food and I am wondering if I should be using it or buying something else. How should I apply it? Will this dissolve well enough in water? I don't really want to mix it into my soil. This is a first grow, so I don't really want to spend a ridiculous amount on AN...
