    HPS Problems

    I'm sorry I didnt include pictures, I'll take a few in a bit. My cuts are about a month old, nerly 9 inches tall, I don't have a cooler but there is a fan on the floor which keeps the air moving as well as A/C that keeps the room under 79*F. I start them under CFLs and the genetics are mostly...

    HPS Problems

    Why do my plants always stunt or burn when I put them under my HPS? I've never been able to get something growing under it without it dying. I'm running a 400w HPS with a 430w Sun Agro bulb a little more than a foot above the plants. Any tips would be really cool :-)

    Using Fish Tank Water

    Right now in my 30gal and 18gal tanks I have 10 Tilapia in each. Their water is usually around the same as my tap which is about 8. I'm not worried about the buffering, as I do this EVERY SINGLE TIME I do a water change anyway (don't we all)? What I'm asking about is the bacteria and if it will...

    Using Fish Tank Water

    What kind of meat eater? As long as he digests his food all the way and you give it a day or 2 to break down completely then it should be fine to feed to dirt. I always take it from the top anyway (since sediments sink).

    Using Fish Tank Water

    My houseplants always loved fish tank water in soil, you can see the difference. Yes, bacteria would be needed to convert the ammonia into nitrites, and then further down into nitrates but bacteria generations cycle every 8 hours, and on top of that I would just not feed my fish 2 days before I...

    Using Fish Tank Water

    Do you guys think this would work for a hydro/aero system? With all the nitrites and nitrates in it, it seems like it would be beneficial (especially adding on more nutes) and its always made a difference with my house plants (in dirt), but I'm worried about the bacteria being bad for the...

    Aeroponic Brown Roots

    I've used it for fish but how would you use it for plants, as a dip or in the res? I added an air fan to one of the holes I drilled for a pot which should deliver some cooler air. How else can I cool it besides buying a Chiller? I'll post some pix up tonight fo sho.

    Aeroponic Brown Roots

    With the timer I'm using the shortest interval is 15 minutes on or off. Where do you get timers that control shorter times and how much are they? I'm using foxfarms nutes at half strength. They do not smell but I have a very little sense of smell so I can't tell, and I'm pretty sure I wouldnt...

    Aeroponic Brown Roots

    I have my timer set to 15 minutes on/15 minutes off, how am I still getting brown on my roots? They are not rotten or rotting, its more like a layer of browness (for lack of a better word). I recently re-added an airpump that pumps 24/7, but is there any other reason this would be happening...

    Foxfarms hydro vs Hydrogen Peroxide

    I wanted to use Hydrogen Peroxide to completely eliminate all chance of algae growth and water mold and all the other nasties, and I've heard that Hydrogen Peroxide is great for this, but would it also eat away and destroy my foxfarms nutes that i'm adding? Right now my garden is at 50% nutes so...

    DWC Cloner

    How close are you supposed to put the ends of the cuts to the water? Is it ok to leave the air pump on 24/7?

    White Roots vs. Slightly Brown Roots

    Fox Farms Grow Big, Vitamin B, Superthrive, and General Organics BioWeed all in the reccomended amounts. I have a fog/dwc hybrid system, I was thinking it was cuz the fog was on too much for too long (like on for 4 hours, off for 1 for about a week) so I switched it back to about 30 minutes on...

    Humidity Dome Questions

    Ok but how would I know when to take it off? And when I do, do I do it bit by bit, cracking it more and more over a long period of time (if so, how long?) or take it off completely once they've got long roots?

    White Roots vs. Slightly Brown Roots

    Are Slightly Brown roots doomed to rot, or can they be saved?

    Humidity Dome Questions

    So I've cloned my 1st clones, it's been 7 days and half have already rooted, the other half has not. I am running an aero-type cloner 24/7 with General Oragnics BioRoot & Superthrive. My question is how do I take the humidity dome off WITHOUT killing the new babies???

    How many bubbles for a DWC?

    The one I've got looks like that, but its bigger (I think) and it doesnt have a handle. I'll add pics of it, and yes I have a gang valve with 6 outlets but I only have 2 with air flowing since I only have 2 rezs

    Alpha Prime's Mixed Grow

    Hello All. I am starting this grow journal kinda late in the grow but I wanted it recorded so on the next grow and all the grows to come I can look back and see what I did wrong, what I did right, and what I could've done better. I have read many other grow journals on this forum as well as...
