I found a 400W H33/ M59 ballast kit for very cheap at my local surplus store. I shopped for 400W grow bulbs and found prices from $20 - $100 !! This will not be my primary light. I thought it would be nice to supplement my 600W HPS in the flowering cab with a 400W MH Would someone give me...

I bought a bottle of Coco Wet wetting agent and thought it would be a good idea to add to the water+nutes mix while bubbling it with an air stone. Fail!

They are out of FF OF in my area and there wont be any till spring. :( I can get Black Gold Organic. What amendments should I add to make it roughly equivalent to OF? Thanks

I found this PDF about HPS lamps. Thought it might interest some.

Every year at this time, I like to read this poem by Frost. O HUSHED October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; To-morrow’s wind, if it be wild,Should waste them all. The crows above the forest call; 5 To-morrow they may form and go. O hushed October morning mild...

I find this one of the most useful knots. It makes a loop that wont slip closed if the long end is pulled but the knot is easily slid back and forth to adjust the noose. It's ideal for cases where you need to adjust tension on an LST branch or the height of a lamp etc. After just a bit of...

RIU is broken :(

I see a lot of these cheapy mechanical timers in shots of people's grow rooms. They are flimsy and clumsy. Time is marked off in half hour units and if the power goes out, the timer stalls. For $20-$40 you can get a digital timer. Control the time down to the minute and it doesnt...

I notice most pots are a bit taller than they are wide. Some have a 'square' cross section - they are as wide as they are tall. Pots for trees are very tall and narrow. I have only seen a few pots that are wider than they are tall. Any ideas on the best proportions for MJ? Personaly, I...

White Dwarf /Buddha Seeds - Indica Autofem 1 plant FFOF soil 3ga pots. 600W HPS. FN nutes. Finished in a 5ga pot Seed to harvest 95 days. 3 seeds sown, one survived germination. Plant stayed very small until the stretch at which point she exploded just as described in the strain blurb...

I just bought this GH dual diagphram airpump. The Hydro Source has them on sale for about $50. I picked up a reconditioned one for $40. I got sick of using the little aquarium air pumps. At 3L/min they dont push enough air for my bubble cloner to get even distribution of spray. I've had to...

To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause Hamlet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2BgjH_CtIA

This is an Oil plant from Autofem. She started flowering after about 2 mos (way late) and then stalled. Now on 12/12 & KoolBloom she is starting to set buds. She makes a lot of salad. It's hard to see the buds unless you push the fans aside. Should I take off some/most/all of those fan leaves...

In this thread I welcome contributions from anyone who has constructive advice and suggestions, anyone who just wants to just hang out and watch the progress and especially those who are growing the same strains. If you are growing a c99 or Syrup, pix and progress reports are most welcome in...

I needed a seed mat and happened to have one of those heating pads they sell for $15 to warm your bum when you get old. Unfortunately, the controls on these pads dont give fine adjustment and some, like the one that I had have an auto shutoff which is fixed at one hour making it completely...

Smoke Report Greenomatic: Greenomatic/Greenhouse Seeds 2 plants FFOF soil 3ga pots. 600W HPS. FN nutes. Plants grew robustly. Stayed very small until the stretch and then grew explosively. Final height would be 12-18" but these were LST'ed. Harvested at 60, 67 & 75 days. First harvest date...

My Blackwater bags, bought on ebay arrived yesterday (don't buy these bags). I took a couple of oz of bud and ran it through. Got some good stuff but there was a fair amount of material pressed into the mesh and also caught on the seam and walls of the bag. I rinsed the bags in...

I found this very interesting article on keeping clone mothers as bonzai's Keeping your genetics in a small package Hey everyone. I've had this article archived since the tragic demise of OverGrow. It was originally posted by OT1, all credit goes to him. Part 1 MAKING...

I bought some expensive seeds and thought, if I got some males, I would breed a few seeds when I grow them. But it was explained to me that the result would probably be a collection of different phenos and to get stable seeds takes a few more generations of breeding. If so, how do the...
