What is the best reflective surface? White panda film, flat white paint (any specifics), gloss white paint, black pain, reflective dimple foam insulation board, dull sheen aluminum reflective board... ? Does it matter or can it depend on Veg or Bloom stages? Just looking for some finer...

I did some research on ways to fill-in or put some more size and density to my buds. A lot of what I found was simple basic level information with some variations. Things like: keeping temps below 85F, controlling humidity, CO2, airflow... But a few things stuck out to me: Reducing the...

Ive recently converted my grow to have the BluMat feeding system. It isn't an automated system for feeding. Its more of a snack system. I use Connoisseur Perfect pH as my base nutrient in the BluMat systems. I feed extras every few days as they develop. Im looking for a better line of base...

I have been doing research on the use of various proteins. Some interesting information that I found I posted below. I have read about using "milk" in a diluted feeding but can see some issues there. A grower explained the used of bacterial levels within a "soil" medium topped with dung/cow...

For a while now Ive used T5 fixtures for veg growth. They are effective and efficient. But some strains seem to never really harden up or build enough vigor to maximize their potential. Using the T5 fixtures were cheap and easy to use. They produce low heat and can be set up with multiple...

For a while now Ive been using condensation water from A/C runoff. It is collected in drums near each room and pumped around as needed. Almost never do I use city/R.O. water. I don't have any mold/fungi issues. The water is less than 20 ppm. Is filtration a good idea or a "Just in case"...

Found a really simply diagram showing how plants uptake nutrients at certain pH levels. If you have any other input about pH; like how you do yours, what you use to correct your pH, do you even pH, etc.... Thanks.

I thought this was a very interesting way to display the "color" palate that MMJ can bring..... :peace:

So far, have used the largest Hercules pots available (35L = ~9.25Gal). Compared side by side with standard "full-size" 10 gallon in a 2K top-light (x2 - 1k AC/DE Gavita Pro Plus bulbs). Two separate runs: First Run: was Diamond OG, a heavy yielding plant in vertical grow (689g/plant), potent...

Has anyone used a FIN technique on bud? From past experience the tips of the buds are snipped at ~ week 4. This govs some substance to the bud in week 4 but also allows the bud time to recover before harvest. Like in veg FIN, bud FIN pushes the buds to repair and boost to the tips of the buds...

Many growers in the northeast experience shorter than normal outdoor growing seasons. Some test the weather and usually run "late" into the NE season and get bud rot. I have heard of some places using a bleach water mixture to prevent or treat it. Has anyone grown in this area? Any mold issues?

Horticulture: Light, air, water, nutrients, growing medium and heat. Life cycles: 3 to 7 days of germination, seedlings about a month,......depending upon your desired size... Germination: Moisture, heat, and air Together they activate hormones within the durable outer coating of the seed...

Are there any commercial growers available? I am moving from a multi location large scale medical MJ growing operation to a single building, commercial growing system. nearly a 42,000q/ft location indoors. I am looking for help on setup for efficiency and value. I am looking to have an all...

I am looking for new and unique ways of how other growers might apply or use FRASS. I don't stress out on this but I have had questions spiraling around for a while regarding this stuff. I really only use frass once during week 4. I pour about a tablespoon into a small hole about 3-4" deep...

Now there have been many discussions about these unique devices. Urban Grower reviewed one a while back and I have read into other testimonials and it seems across the board a 15-25% yield increase. It seems crazy but the science makes sense. The purpose is to create a subsonic sound wave...

So far from what Ive gathered, these are extremely powerful lighting steps. They seem to be most useful in Vegetative applications since they produce a lower red. But when they are used in conjunction with HID/HPS/etc... they're potential is maximized by combining the High reds of HPS and the...

Humic and Fulvic acids and their applications. Humic acid is organic matter that is dark brown to black in color, which is water-soluble at more alkaline levels (pH >2). An organic catalyst, HA is derived from the organic components of soil, including humus or peat. HA is actually a by-product...
