Here's a bud shot of my first completed grow in coco. My buds are as big or bigger than what I did in hydro. Looks to be about 2.5 lbs from 4 plants. I'm a happy camper. The bud on the left is as big as a coffee can. It should dry to about 2 oz. I grew these in 10 gallon pots. I have a...

Why isn't this called the COCO Coir forum? Or COCO/HEMPY forum? Anyhow, it's about time. 3/4 of the venders at the cannabis farmers market here grow in coco, it's a huge under-served (on RIU forums) sector of hydroponics, and YES coco is hydroponics!!

I have decided to convert one of my rooms to Drain to Waste High Pressure Aeroponics. I am doing this for several reasons. 1. Almost zero chance of getting root rot 2. PH does not change 3. PPM does not change 4. Plants always receive pristine, fresh nutrients 5. Cheaper, don't dump 50...

Oops I posted in the wrong forum

Hey all, The chiller I got has instructions saying to clean it every four months with either water or expensive flushing solution. I found some better cleaning instructions on a reef site. Do this every two months. What you need: A 5 gallon bucket 1 gallon white vinegar 2 gallons water Mix...

Hey, Im doing a DWC grow using 27 gallon toughbox totes, one for each plant. The problem I am having is excessive heat in the solution. It sits at about 78 degrees. I made one chiller using an old mini-fridge with plastic tubing coiled up in it. It goes 15 minutes on then 15 minutes off...

Hello, I have a strain and had it THC tested. The result came out 21% THC and 12% THCA. When smoked, vaporized or decarboxylated, the THCA changes into THC. I have read literature saying that THC content is expressed by adding the THC and THCA together, which would be 33%. See Here...

Hi, My friend and I built a 'poor mans ebb and gro' bucket system. The controller works just like a flood table, except we use a bucket instead of a table, the other buckets fill to the same level as the controller/flood bucket. The overflow for the controller bucket controls the level in...

Hi all, My friend and I will be flying between states in the USA. We will be there for three days and we want to sneak a little weed or oil with us. There are a couple of ways that I thought of doing it: 1. Keester it - Up the ol' poop chute: Was thinking to compress an 1/8 as...

Hi, I have a system that I build a few weeks ago using a commercial ebb and gro controller. The reservoir, hoses, buckets are from parts I got at the hardware store. I used a very small amount of silicone in a few spots where the hoses go into the buckets. For some odd reason, they just...

How does a person recover from Nitrogen Burn where the leaves are curling under? About three days ago, my budding plants (5 weeks) spurted about 4 inches in one day. I know nitrogen will make them stretch. I think my PPM meter needs a new probe so I was running Lucas too high. When I try to...

Hi, my hydroponic system came with a BC nutrient starter kit. I am going to use the Lucas Formula for the flowering, but I am so lazy and cheap that I am just using the free BC kit for Vegetative. I am about 10 days into vegetative and just turned up the volume on the PPM three days ago...

This will be my first true grow journal. I have been growing off and on since the 1980s, but didn't begin toying with Hydroponics until last fall. I have successfully grown three crops hydroponically. I believe that I have the basics down enough to do a journal that you and I can learn...

What is the boards policy on racist offensive avatars and how would we go about complaining about them?

Hi, A friend of mine with no internet is having a problem with his grow. He called me saying that he had little black bug thingies in the reservoir of his aero-system. This was a few days ago, we figured they must be something coming in through his intake hole which is in the floor and lets...

I have windows all around my basement. I have neighbors on both sides with teenagers. My basement is unfinished. How do I cover windows in a way that doesn't arouse suspicion? Right now I am using one basement room and have the window covered by a curtain and I believe it looks suspicious...

I have a few questions about ONA odor masking agent which comes in blocks, gel, liquid, etc. Will it harm my plants if I have it in the room with them? What does it smell like? Most odor masking agents I have used in the past merely mix with the pot smell. Supposedly this stuff...
