    Ocean forward / Happy Frog Mix

    I've used that same exact mix, myself, many times. It's pretty much like you say... for about 4-5 weeks, just pH'd water with a good amount of runoff each time. After the mix nutrients are exhausted, I used Jack's 3-2-1 every watering and pH everything to ~6.5. It's pretty much inert from there...

    Freezer Curing Cannabis

    I was always told to never freeze weed, because freezing the moisture inside the trichomes and inside all the plant cells causes them to burst. When the frozen weed comes back up to room temperature, all the oils and esters volatilize and the weed smells really strong.....initially....and then...

    Upgrading from last grow

    The light that OP has posted has some very concerning reviews. Apparently, it has been known to light itself on fire! See the 1-star reviews and accompanying picture! That Koscheal light lists for ~$70.00 USD and it's a poop-quality light. The Viparspectra XS 1500 Pro is only a little bit more...

    seed housing still attached

    Or just wait and let the natural expansion of the leaf remove it for you. IF you do decide to remove it, be very careful that you don't tear off the leaf with the hull.

    Well, I'm going to try and be gentle.....Those lights are probably not the best. They are generally known as "Blurples" because they put out that bluish-purple light. They are kind of "yesterday's fad" kind of lights. They have been outmoded by many of the newer-style "full-spectrum white"...

    Unfamiliar with them. The only other place that I've purchased seeds is directly from the Archive Seed Bank....They have really nice stuff....but, man, they are expensive!

    Upgrading from last grow

    Definitely! I use the D.C. Seed Exchange. ANYTHING from Bob Bitchen's that I've gotten has been good so far. I'd steer clear of Hazeman. Everything I've gotten from them is mediocre. Copa has some good stuff. I'd recommend that you buy feminized seeds so that you have less chance of...

    Because autos are a stupid trend Auto flower cannabis ruderalis is not marijuana. It's a completely different species of plant.

    Upgrading from last grow

    Well, it looks like you are trying to set up a clean, organized space. It's nice to see grow spaces that are set up well and kept clean. Lots of grows, I see dogs, cats, work boots, dirty clothes, dead leaves, splashed dirty water.....and, usually with the associated bug problems, chewed leaves...

    To Tent or Not to Tent

    I agree. I use my 3 X 3 tent in a seasonal way. The growing-space can be used for other purposes the rest of the year. Packing up a 3 X 3 tent and putting it in the attic for storage is no problem, but I'd hate to have to deal with anything much larger than a 4 X 4.

    Soil-less mixes vs dirt

    There are a few discussions about how you don't have to pH your water if you grow in soil because the soil, itself, will naturally buffer the pH. It is my belief that this is a misconception. I have a vegetable garden outside and I am always amazed at how much "stuff" is going on in every...

    What PH should my water be?

    Man, I had this exact problem with my last grow. I'll tell you what fixed it.... I had mixed up my soil(less) mix and thought it was good, but my plants started looking badly deficient at about 3 weeks into veg. I knew the mix had plenty of nutes in it so it couldn't be a deficiency. Then, I...
