    salt on hydroten rocks DWC

    I use Hydroton rocks also in my net pots. I've never really noticed salt build up but I also neglect some aspects of my grows. I think you'll be fine, personally, but if you wanted to clean off the hydroton, I think that boiling hot water and then dropping them in might do the trick. Just my...

    Clueless on NFT

    Alright so I've posted here many times before, and as of March of 2009, I built a "ghetto" type of aero system. This system consisted of a rubbermaid roughneck, a pvc manifold with misters in it, and then a submersible pump which was inside nutrient water spraying the nutes up thru the pvc and...

    Clone Dried Out

    I'm trying to preserve the northern light strain i have, and I only had like 2 clones going in the cloning system. One of them rooted, and then somehow it got tugged out of the hole it was in, and the roots dried up a bit. I found it this morning and I quickly dipped the TINY roots in water...

    Zeus's Take on Harvesting

    This guy knows his stuff, and it seems it is all based on personal experience. After a few grows I got to a point where I wasn't running dry before the next harvest, so therefore I had no reason to chop early. I would end up just letting them mature and mature and eventually the pistils...

    CFL Burnt Bud Tip

    Couldn't find the response to this question anywhere for some reason. Maybe I'm just bad at searching keywords. Anyways, sometimes I can't check my operation for a day or two, and I recently checked it today and one of the CFL's had been touching the tip of a bud on a branch and it did...

    Disassembling DIY PVC Cloner setup

    I sort of modified the original PVC cloner setup to fit specifications for an actual flowering chamber and what not. Without going into much detail, I have one major issue. My setup isn't perfect, so for me to change the reservoir (I have a 5 gallon bucket underneathe a Rubbermaid Roughneck...

    Early Misty

    I wanna do a follow up to this thread and my post. I found after my last few harvests of Misty, using only one mother plant. That there are actually 2 completely different phenotypes of this plant. One produces large calyxes and has an oddly skunky smell. The other produces tight buds with a...

    finding out what kind of strain i have?

    I used to get shit that looked similar to that before I started "producing" my own. I agree with motorboater, it just looks like some commercial bud. Something like Big Bud, or Critical mass, unfortunately I have yet to grow either of those strains so I couldn't tell you for sure. But they...

    How long are Hydroton rocks good for?

    About a month ago I dove into the world of Aeroponics/Hydroponics. I'm still learning quite a bit but I researched it long before attempting to try it myself. I plan on using Hydroton rocks once I get the money to order them and the other supplies I need to complete my FULL aero grow I'm...

    Pump was off for ~12 hours

    Thanks for all the responses, you guys instilled hope into not only me but into my grow operation. Anyways, plugging in the pumps again, misting the plants, and then just letting them go for 24 hours solved the issue. Checking on them this morning, and pretty much all of the ones that were...

    Pump was off for ~12 hours

    Yeah so the title tells all, Pretty much I'm freaking out because one of the strains in my DIY aeroponic setup isn't in veg anymore so if it dies I'm screwed. Anyways, last night at like 6 at night I unplugged my pumps in my aero setups and forgot to plug them back in but I realized it this...

    Early Misty

    Shit, I just noticed this thread by searching over google, would've chimed in earlier if I had seen it sooner. Anyways, I've grown Early Misty from Nirvana a few times, one of which was my first grow with actual strains and not just bagseed. Overall if I had to rate it, I'd say its a...

    4ft t5 lights

    I've never tried flowering with T5's but I do have a bunch of fixtures with 6500K bulbs I used at one time for the veg tent. I'm actually working on swapping out my CFL setup in my veg tent and putting the 4 bulb 4 ft T5HO fixture back in there. I just feel that it'd work better all around...

    I just watch the most amazing infomercial ever!

    Didn't fdd2blk have a few plants hanging upside in one of his videos he posted a link to on here a while back? I think I remember seeing a few hanging in one of the videos..

    Fox Farm Ocean

    Ive used this soil through all stages of growth from seed to harvest, and from clone to harvest. Never once had a problem. I swear by this stuff, you're making a good choice buying it.

    Forming Seeds Bud development stops?

    Alright cool, thanks for the responses guys. One other thing, you said they still finish in the same time. If one branch is pollinated, will the other branches still grow as if nothing happened?

    Clones not rooting in EZ Cloner ?

    Bro, those root nubs seriously would murdalize the nubs I get on my clones in perlite. I wouldn't beat yourself up over it. They look fine, sometimes it just takes longer for them to form, but I mean if you're getting roots, the only thing you can try to do is perfect it. either way i'd say...

    Forming Seeds Bud development stops?

    How is waiting going to make a difference if I can visibly see seeds growing inside of the branch? I'm not asking if I should wait, I'm asking if once a branch is pollenated is it going to keep maturing and growing larger buds? Sorry if I'm coming off as an a-hole, I just need a legit answer...

    Forming Seeds Bud development stops?

    I'm asking because I want to know if the pollenation is going to affect the yield. I mean that is it going to be swelling up more or is it going to be focusing on creating the seeds I can see. I also don't need seeds I have like 6 mother plants and a shit ton of clones, so seeds and hermies to...

    Forming Seeds Bud development stops?

    Nah bro, there's like a week left on it, if that, but I am planning to harvest in stages since the plant got too tall for my liking. It's definitely ready, I'm not like cutting 2 week old bud off of the plant, it's like a 7 week old plant in flowering. Strain is northern lights.
