Uncle Ben's Gardening Tweeks and Pointers

[Kriegs]

Heh yeah, but I bet he has the best tasting weed, and gets the largest yields ever..

Im sure he's never heard that as something becomes more complicated, more problems arise. Theres probably some scientific law or something regarding that, but no clue what it is. Maybe it would classify under murphys law..dunno.

The law you seek is Occam's Razor -- the simplest solution is usually the best.

Thank you very much Kriegs

[BoTyKlr]

UB, I thought you would get a kick out of this picture. Someone on another forum said AN was crap, and this guy replies saying AN is great, yada, yada, and then posts this picture. Im really not sure what he accomplishes by posting the pic. It just makes him look dumber than I thought possible.

That is funny!

I've seen so many posts with photos full of bottles and bottles of nutrients and supplements, and it always blows me away. Money aside, who the hell wants to sit and figure out how much of which to feed when, and then figure out which ones are causing all the problems? I stick with my Dyna-Gro (though I'm trying Jack's Classic soon to get a comparison), and laugh at all the money they're throwing away while their plants are yellowing and dropping leaves left and right.

[JoeCa1i]

WHY???

 

[JoeCa1i]

better flavor.I grow organic.

 

[Katatawnic]

You think that "organic" means leaves are supposed to yellow and die?!

 

[riddleme]

Lots of folks believe that

but the better question might be,,,,,,

if ya think that what are you doing here?

where we all keep em green and feed em evil chemicals

 

[doogleef]

Organic tastes better, huh?

I'll bet you a harvest you can't tell the difference in an organically fed plant and one fed with a non-organic fert. The plant does not give a rats ass where it gets the raw minerals from.

Taste is about trim, dry and cure.

Hi I've read through these posts and got some good tips and nuances of an experienced grower. I`m on my 4th grow, 2nd inside.

So I`m growing inside a closet that is semi open most the day. I`m having problems figuring out the best way to control odor. I can't figure out a way to have an effective carbon filter. Would it do anything, by just having an air duct/fan/scrubber between the plants and the door? If the room is not always sealed off?

Do you have any experience with OnaGel? I 've heard everything from it eliminates odor completely to, it's useless.

Allright thanks for any answers.

Long term, ozone generator. Pizza man, ozium.

 

[Kriegs]

Like UB said... ozone generator.

Here's a link to a good one: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/86320-my-highest-reccomendation-inexpensive-unit.html

There's another one on that site for $80 that sounds perfect for your closet. A small price to pay for a nice smelling house and maybe other things... like freedom, depending where you are.

 

[tical916]

Ya I`ve found one for $80 I`m going to check out.

I figure after a few cycles you are going to use that much just replacing the Ozium.

I use a ozone jr i think they are made for a 10x10x10 room. I only grow 12 plants at a time but mine works pretty good. 2 yr. warranty

Yep same one I was looking at. Ive got a little smaller room and only 5 plants at a time. So hopefully it`ll work fine.
