    Anyone who likes Mr.Nice seeds should really check this out! (documentary)

    I posted this in the growers forum because your typical smoker isnt going to have a clue about mr.nice seeds; just growers that buy their gear. Therefore this seemed like the best place to post this. I started watching this doc about a drug smugger as I like those shows. He was referring to...

    What do you guys think of my idea to induce flowering?

    I live at 55deg N. in Canada so there are few (I'm not sure there are any whatsoever actually) regular strains that will finish by October since the july daylength is 1 hour longer than more southern places like Ottawa (where the seeds Im wanting to grow were bred). Everything else about my...

    I bought a fan/filter combo today from the hydro store. The guy sold me a can 33 filter and a 6" 420cfm typhoon inline fan. I explained my concerns that the fan was too powerful for the filter but he insisted that I was wrong and to just turn the fan speed down to half or 2/3 speed. Does...

    I have been reading things that claim Mountain Air carbon filters outperform Can filters? Can anyone support/attest this? I can get them for roughly the same price but the Mountain Air is supposed to last up to 3 years! (im kind of leaning that way)

    when your can filter dies do you have to buy a brand new one?

    I cant believe an air filter that costs over $200 would have such a terrible life span of just a few months or about 4 harvests is what I hear. Do you really have to keep buying brand new $200 filters or are there cheap replacement filters you cant just slip on your old can? I dont sell, its...
