    Samsung LED Grow lights from Alibaba?

    I bought 5x 240W Meijiu boards off Alibaba. The price wasn't horrendous (about 900 after shipping and everything). I will say in the two years I've owned them my only compliant is the potentiometers they came with are garbage. I found this out as my light would just randomly flicker... then...

    Insulation - Vivosun 8x4x6.5 Tent

    I currently grow in my garage and it has little insulation and as I rent, any modification are out of the window. Last summer my grow tent averaged 90-105F and I plan to rectify that this time. I keep my exhaust low to since humidity is an issue even with a decent humidifier (trying to stay as...

    Super Soil Error?

    Well, tomorrow I will start mixing. Wish my luck gents... I'll update with some pictures once it's cut and aeriated and dried a bit... Quick question, would it be alright to let the soil dry to let the gnats die off or will that stop the microbes from ever coming back? EDIT...

    Super Soil Error?

    Yea I heard those were better but I couldn't find any of those two... From what I gather perlite eventually needs to be replenished. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if I started with peat as a base instead of FFOF (and cheaper), but... Lesson learned.

    Super Soil Error?

    I also got about 1.5 cu ft of perlite left over... Any recommendations on how much of each to add to about 6 cu ft of soil? Or am I looking for the same consistency of the FFOF base?

    Super Soil Error?

    Is it a requirement to let it cook? I only ask because mine just sprouted and they are in small pots. I could alwags add a tea halfway through while the soil cook or is that not a good idea?

    Super Soil Error?

    I haven't planted yet, I got the seedlings in smaller pots with just FFOF. I was just about to head to Home Depot and grab 6 cu ft of peat moss and split my mixture half and half... Is that still the best thing to do?

    Super Soil Error?

    Yea! I used 5 gallon buckets to measure the base and a measuring cup for the amendments. Each run had 30 gallons of base soil in them and I just split the amendments in half for each since I didnt habe a 60 gallon container.

    Super Soil Error?

    Well I have plenty of perlite left over... Someone also suggested cutting with peat moss. Perhaps both? I have 9 5 gallon pots of soil, so how much should I be adding? I assume cooking this for another 30 days?

    Super Soil Error?

    So... I posted awhile back about making my own organic living soil. Well, now it's time to plant but I have some input from others that my mixture doesn't look right. I added 1/3 of Fox Farms Ocean Forest, perlite, and EWC with mixtures of Kelp meal, neem meal, blood meal, fish bone mean, insect...

    [Question] Soil Reuse

    Alright! Would I add the same dry nutrients I added this time in the same quantity or should I cut it in half when I let it cook again? From there it's just making sure I pay attention to what my plants need (by top dressing missing nutrients or using teas) and ammend in between harvests, with...

    [Question] Soil Reuse

    So I can use this until for a full grow, and then add the same amount of nutrients I just did and that's all?

    [Question] Soil Reuse

    I wasn't sure... I've seen people say they need to reamend every 2-3 harvests or add teas to help, but is any of that really necessary? I should just be able to pH the water and grow!
