    Couple of quick questions.

    Well I popped a couple of beans and my feminized seed turned out to be a bouncing baby boy and the regular turned out to be a beautiful baby girl, the exact opposite of what I expected TBH. Forgot about them them for a few weeks and now I have a very pollen covered male. Both healthy but a bit...

    100% peat instead of coco?

    Well, I'm looking into passive hydro systems, in particular coco in 5 gallon fabric pots with blumats. However coco is almost impossible to get in this area. Peat moss on the other hand, is cheap and readily available in a variety of forms. I know that peat tends to be rather acidic, but I...

    Soil seed starting problems

    Alright so I've got a question for some experienced folk. Normally with dwc I start seeds in a rapid rooter, put it in a 2" net cup, and all is well with the world. However I've been moving to soil and passive hydro. I also ran out of rapid rooters and don't really want to buy more. I tried...

    DIY light mover, idea thread. With a twist.

    So while I wait for parts to arrive and restock I've been plotting a bit more. How about a rotational based light mover? Seemed like a good idea, and would solve my dilemma about how to distribute light with fewer emitters. I've been plotting a light for a 3'x3'x6' space. My original idea was...

    indecision has struck. Effeciency vs delivery.

    So I'm planning an upgrade for a lighting system. It's a veg/flower unit. I've narrowed it down too 3 choices and was wondering if any of the resident experts would be willing to throw their $0.02 in. I have an HLG-120H-1050A driver that I want to utilize for this project, I also intend to...

    DIY panel design. Compatibility/reality check? Resident experts please help!

    Hi folks, I was hoping a few of the resident experts on DIY lighting would pop in and offer some advice. Inspired by picrogravs bridgelux vero 29 build I though that I would build something similar. I'm looking to grow flowers in a 2'x3', ideally I'd like to match the performance of an Area-51...

    Question for vertical lighting experts. I have a 4x4 tent that I intend to line the walls of with vegetables. Tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, lettuce, and various herbs are planned right now. My question is if I would be able to get away with one bare 600 watt HPS or MH bulb hung...

    How many clones can you take from a mother every 2 weeks?

    So probably a stupid question. How many clones can you take from a happy, healthy, mature, hydroponically grown mother plant every two weeks? I know it does largely depend on the strain. So I'm relly just looking for a general idea. Would it be better to keep fewer mother plants under lots of...

    Is there any advantage to a longer veg time?

    Just a quick question. Is there any advantage to keeping a plant in the vegetative stage for longer periods? Obviously bigger plants means bigger yield. But I'm thinking more about if there are any effects to the flower. Like taste, density, potency, or other things of that nature? I've seen a...
