    Isolated necrosis on sativa

    Underside of leaf. Top of leaf. Closeup of necrosis. This has got me stumped because it doesn't appear to be systemic. This issue is only apparent on several mid-plant leaves on different stems. The rest of the plant looks very healthy. There is no pest problem. Guesses are welcome but...

    Bubble bag wash after dry ice extract?

    Sooo, I did a dry ice extract in my bubble bags and am not happy with how much pulverized plant is in it. The act of shaking the bag with dry ice is hell on the plant material. I saw that Frenchy said that you could put hash in water to float the leafy bits while the trichomes settle out and...

    Update on Samsung F-Series Gen3 3500K grow light performance

    If you've been on the fence this may help you decide which side to get off on. This grow is a RDWC in a fully environmentally controlled space running 18/6 with CO2. YMMV, objects in mirrors are closer than they appear, and all that. Nov. 16 (four plants on left) Dec. 13 I'd call that a win.

    Can any old-timers or historians shed some light on the BOEL?

    I could use some help. I'm researching the BOEL and am coming up empty. This is about it on the internet. Maybe someone can help me fill in the gaps (actually giant gaping chasm) in my knowledge? I like to know the history of what I'm growing. "HothouseFlowers, "'Skunk' was initially a name...

    A Tale of two Thais and G13

    Thus it begins. I don't smoke, and yet I grow. Go figure. For me it's all about the toys, the process, and the challenge. Growing makes me happy. All of the meds that I grow are for my brother that has both Lupus and Polycythemia Vera. Poor fucker. Was going to do a grow of a proprietary...

    Rider's first foray into LED strip lighting - Samsung H Series GEN3

    Rider's first foray into LED strip lighting - Samsung H Series GEN3 I became interested in the LED strip cobs as a replacement for the 8' T12 fluorescents in my tattoo shop, but the more I looked into them I wondered if they could be used for growing. I ordered eight of the 4' 5000k 80 CRI...

    Galaxy grow tents review

    If you're in the market for a new grow tent, consider the Galaxy line. I only know of them because of an ordering mistake. When I was ordering a 4x4 tent, (with the help of Sailor Jerry and/or Captain Morgan), I somehow ended up with both Gorilla and Galaxy tents being delivered. After looking...

    Series/Parallel configuration with 3590s and 320H-C2100B

    OK, so it's hella late and my brain is mush. I should know this stuff cold but I can't get the synaptic connections to fire. I'm trying to make sense of running two sets of series wired 3590s in a parallel configuration to utilize the drivers that I've got for a veg application. I have more...

    Auto topping experimentation

    We all know that we can top autos, right? Some strains handle it better than others but they can all be topped, LSTed, scrogged, supercropped, whipped, beaten, and made to write bad checks. If it's your first time running a new auto strain, or your only plant, and your whole life depends on...

    The Tardis

    I'd like to share with you my Tardis which, despite its heavy load, is still capable of traversing space and time. Inside this unassuming police call box there is far more going on than meets the eye. Within the confines of a 4'x4'x6.5' space reside three White Widows growing in soil (presently...

    Who the hell is that Rider guy?

    So I've never even grown a hangnail before but jumped into a 4x4 indoor grow with both feet. I went into it with the idea that the first grow would be all about learning and the plants would just have to tough out whatever goober mistakes I threw at them. Tough little f*uckers are still alive...

    Driver Optimization matrix musings

    For the sake of this internal monologue let's say we want to run a four Cree CD bin 36V 3500K 3590 array and our driver will run on 120V mains. Let's say we want to both veg and flower under this array. There are several HLG drivers that will run them: 120H-C1050 185H-C1050 240H-C1050...
