    Old Soil???

    Experienced/Novice grower here... It's been a while since my last post. My last grow finished in the spring of 2015 and left me with enough of a personal supply of good bud to skip a year. Well, now my supply is running low so it's time to start a new grow. Unfortunately, it seems I've lost my...

    Will they recover??? Stunted growth...

    I think it may be the cold that's the problem. (Or at least an additional problem.) Lights-on, the cab runs around low 80s. Lights-off, it drops down to mid 60's. That wasn't an issue when I first started this round. The temps in the basement never dropped below 70, but the weather turned cold...

    How much do you need to grow for your annual personal use?

    about 1/2 ounce or so a month, so 6 to 8 ounces per year.

    Will they recover??? Stunted growth...

    I tried germinating 4 seeds in rooting plugs. They ended up as still births... they popped, but after nearly two weeks, never rooted. 1 ea. Critical Kush, Liberty Haze, Purple Trainwreck, White Widow, all fem. So with fresh seeds I went back to the paper towel method and the new ones all...

    anyone switch to gavita? worth it?

    Interesting thread... I'm wondering, are the Gavita or any of the other higher end HID lamps/ballasts rated by UL, CE, FCC, etc...? If security is an issue, then line noise, EMI, and RFI need to be taken into consideration. (for that matter, IR and UV also.)

    Noob considering grow

    The biggest thing with cabinet grows is heat, especially if you're trying to vent the heat of an HPS or MH. Example: Mid 90's A 250w MH with 160w of T12 side lighting in a 30" x 60" closet (with no way to vent the heat outdoors) warmed up the adjacent 10'x10' room to a toasty mid 80's in...

    What is this?

    Looks cool! It would almost be worth clipping those leaves and preserving them in a hard copy grow bible.

    will it stop growing lol

    Top that tall one if you want it to slow vertical growth. Clone the cutting. With any luck it'll root in a week or so, and you'll have two of that same plant (hopefully female).

    Opinions please - Ready or not?

    oh, yeah... I see what's wrong! They grew sideways! I'd say, 'wait a few days and see if they go vertical again', but I'm stoned.

    Sand or gravel...?

    Ok, cool. Thanks

    How long will it last...?

    I kinda figured it wouldn't go bad'. Thanks I was on a 'hiatus' from getting high for several years (7-8 maybe? idk...anyhow) when, while searching for something else, I found a jar with some shake at the bottom. I forgot about the jar when I stashed it away. It had about a gram or so sealed...

    Sand or gravel...?

    In small numbers, they don't seem to be much more than a nuisance, but they multiply fast. Thanks for the tip. BTW, what's DM?

    How long will it last...?

    Hey all, I sifted some dry ice kief over 8 months ago and have stored it in well sealed jars in a cool dry location. I dip into it from time to time, but it's a bit too intense so I use it sparingly, and usually just scoop some into a bowl of bud. I was just wondering how long will kief (or...

    Sand or gravel...?

    My last grow I had a mix of Ocean Forest and some "organic" Miracle Grow soil and ended up battling gnats for weeks during flowering, thanks to the Miracle Grow soil. A few treatments with Azamax helped keep their numbers down, as did a friendly spider which took up residence nearby the gnats...

    Inda-gro Induction...

    So you know your way around 'lectrics n stuff? Cool. LEDs have given a sort of re-birth to my former training in electronics engineering technology. I've been a software engineer for the past decade, but spent nearly two decades elbows deep in RF lab work. Most of the stuff we do today is...

    Inda-gro Induction...

    I agree completely. T he only thing I don't like about LED grow lights is the purple light. I'd rather go with 3000k and 6500k color temp cobs.

    Inda-gro Induction...

    That induction light doesn't come with a ballast...add another hundred $$$, if you can find one. If you do find one, it's likely NOT FCC approved, and could become a beacon to your house. Plus, if you use the lamp without designing and testing a properly isolated Faraday Cage for it, you're just...

    DiY LED Grow Lights with CREE CXA3070 COBs and CPU Coolers

    OK, what we have here is 'failure to communicate.' It seems that - obviously - has got pounds of primo bud dancing in his head, but has yet to crack a single seed. He's a total noob, which he himself admits to, doing what many of us have done when we were 'total noobs'. He's investing too much...
