    Nutrients for soil grows

    I've never used Roots Organics Lush. Have you ever used Roots Organic Original? If so how does Lush compare to the Original?

    Interesting trichome picture.

    Thank you. I took the pictures immediately after I cut the buds off of the plant. Then when I looked at the pictures I was a little worried I might of harvested a little early. But thanks to your reassurance I guess that's not the case. (I didn't notice some of the less cloudy trichomes until...

    Interesting trichome picture.

    I recently bought a digital microscope to take pictures of the trichomes on my plants and I managed to accidentally get some interesting pictures. My microscope has 8 leds in a ring. They are used to light up the area being magnified. In these images the focus is just right right and you can see...

    Hydrogen peroxide

    I'm hopefully finishing up a major little war I currently have with a swarm of gnats and I thought I'd share my experience. I grow in soil. I have a small grow room and the last several years I've had an issue with gnats. In the past I'd just put out sticky traps and keep the soil dry and they...

    Spider Farmer led grow light--less watts, more light

    I recently bought a Spider Farmer SE7000. It arrived a little less than 4 weeks ago. The day before I switched to flowering. The bad news is that I ended up buying the old style SE7000 several days before they released the new improved style. The good news is that the plants seem to like the...

    Using trichomes to determine harvest time.

    Thank you. That center picture is probably the best description out there. I think I might try to harvest them a little earlier this year.

    Using trichomes to determine harvest time.

    I do a small grow each year and I'm very happy with the results. But I'm always looking to do better. One thing I'm kind of concerned about is that I might be waiting a little to long to start harvesting my plants. I grow Indica based plants and my flowering stage usually takes about 12 weeks...

    12/12 lighting issue

    If not sure how much stress is caused, but to minimize it try to change the schedule in small increments of an hour or so like SilvaDuss says. I've also read that you want to extend the dark time when changing your schedule (make sure that they get at least 12 hours of darkness).

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    @PetFlora: That sounds about right. What is a Red Life? I'm assuming it's a broad red spectrum lamp but I couldn't find anything that matched it. @RockyMtnMan: It looks like we are doing the same thing - just approaching it from different angles. The lamps I use are mostly a combination of red...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    That's an interesting observation concerning red light causing skinnier buds. I'm currently using a combination of blue and red for flowering. I considered adding more red for the current crop but ended up not doing it. After reading what you said, it's probably a good thing that I didn't. For...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    First a disclaimer: I have only completed one grow so I have no personal experience in comparing different results using different lamps. With that said I beg to differ. I think using aquarium lamps and selecting lamps by color spectrum is the way to go. I picked up a few things while browsing...
