I used to use ProteKt because it has the highest % of silica out of all the silica products my hydro store carries. When you look at the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials site (http://www.aapfco.org/metals.htm) and compare silica products, proteKt has the 2nd highest levels of...

Some minerals must be chelated or bonded with an amino acid so they will not bond with other minerals in the bottle and form compounds plants can not absorb. When certain minerals in raw forms interact, reactions and bonds form rendering absorption impossible for plants and causing...

Whenever you think its done, a good rule of thumb is wait 2 weeks. If your dying, take off a small bud 1 week early. Dry and cure it for a full week, that way you have something to smoke while your trimming the rest and waiting for it to dry.

Better than mason jars are 2.5 gal glass jars with gasketed glass lids. From Target, totally air tight and huge, just under $20 each!

You should use the 4" vent fan to ventilate the room heat and air out. You should have the 6" vent fan hooked up to air cool the 600w light. Get a small booster fan or squirrel cage blower for an intake fan, you don't need too much. If your reflector is not air coolable, you will need one...

The quality of the cannabis is directly related to the quality of the fluorescent. T5's put off the most lumens per watt, so for the electricity you draw you get the most yeild. T5's are a great full term lighting source for flowering. Use the 6400/6500k (depending on bulb manufacturer) for veg...

Why you buy at a local shop - When you buy at a store, if anything happens to break, bulbs, ballasts and reflectors are under warranty. The store will just swap you out for a new one when you bring the broken equipment in. By the time you ship out your broken 30lb ballast to the california ebay...

Be careful, the digital ballast technology is not lined up with bulb technology. Big name bulbs like hortilux, sunmaster, solarmax, you name it, get burnt out quickly by the digital ballast. Its no problem if you buy your bulbs in a store that covers warranty. It will probably not last the full...

Prefer Ozium products, like the timed mist. Atmosphere makes Ozium and they also make Vortex and Pro Filter, the best fan and filter on the market. They know odor control, and regular ozium eliminates smell without the sketchy scent that smells like your trying to cover up something, or worse...

Hey, just reading your grow journal. Looked good but some of the problems you had were some of my previous mistakes. The hermies with seeds is probably due to the 24 hour lighting in veg. It really stresses the plants, and plants can only absorb so much light in a day. You will save money on...

I noticed you are not venting your light. Make sure you have a thermometer in the room! Those 400w lights get super hot. Is your ballast built into your reflector? Looks like it is from that picture. That makes it even hotter if it is too. If its one of the Sunleaves Pulsar Mini reflector w/...

Neem oil is a preventative. It may kill some of the bugs, but not all of them. Neem oil is applied to repel bugs, not kill them. I just got over a mite problem. They were carrying some sort of disease and almost killed my crop. You need to eradicate 100% of the bugs, or just a few will multiply...

Hey Roll It Up world, I have been reading this forum for quite a few months now and I am finally making some posts. I have accounts on other forums but do not really post or ask questions, I just read. I'm finally putting together my first grow journal online. Not my first grow, but it will be...

Anyone up to the task? Seeds, clones, whatever. How come you guys in Cali have some east coast flavor available yet we do not? Share the love!
