    Is it love or is it science?

    Considering my username I felt the need to chime in on the subject. I love plants, it means I look at them every day, I make sure that they are comfortable in their environment, and I read every piece of literature I can find regarding plant growth. Because I give a shit about them, and I want...

    anyone know what this issue is?

    When I was first starting out I bought granular organic nutes, I would soak the amount the package suggested for about 20 minutes in water and vigorously shake it until the water was a bit murky. Then I would inoculate a mix similar to the one that you have listed with it. Epsoma and a slew of...

    Compost VS Humus

    Yes, good sir, you are. But make sure when breeding microbes for the purpose of inoculation, that you add the nutrients you expect your plants to grow with during that particular stage of growth. This will promote a bloom of only the microbes necessary for the stage you need them in. Obviously...

    Chronikool'z Stripped lite Peep Show™

    I say go with 8 perfectly spaced colas, I feel like you have a fair amount of side lighting, and larger buds would be able to use them, plus it's a pc so it's fucking tiny. On the other hand maybe 16 would be fine. If you don't have time constraints I say the more the merrier, but I wouldn't...

    Hey man, come visit the Colorado if you ever get bored! I'm in Kansas right now, but soon I'll be back in Boulder county sipping on Gin and Cronic, and smoking my belated B-day blunt. Next year I plan on doing a full USA tour, excluding the South, and I hope to bring you some presents...

    LED and mirrors

    I currently use flat white all over, but the closer you get a highly reflective surface to a light source, such as mylar/ultra reflective water heater rap, the better it works. Less dark areas to reflect and ultimately convert the light to heat. If this wasn't the case all reflectors for HID...

    anyone know what this issue is?

    A week between watering suggests that the soil needs additional aeration, though it seems strange, the wood chips would have helped you out. With that said it looks like this little gal is stressed, beyond just nutrient burn, which is normally progressive and you can watch it happen. Generally...

    Led Mainlined: Join this quest!

    So I've been away from the thread for a while do to unforeseen finance issues forcing me to leave the state for work purposes. In about 5 to 6 days I should be back at it though. I have been informed that the Caramel Ice I have in has some nice cola action going, [dark] compared them to 40's...

    Beef's Area-51 LED grow! ***WW, BC BB, C99, Purps, Neville's Haze, Moby Dick***

    Though no one has asked, whenever I run a new strain I try it many many times, and the weight of total harvest is usually halved the first time I run a new seed. 3 days before harvest at 90% Cloudy/ 7% Clear/3%Amber I run my first test, herb is heated in oven on 140-170 for about 15 minutes...

    DIY Modular LED-Light

    Ahhh, I used to do that with mixed greens, but it was more to determine nutrient content. Using small plants like that can give you a great idea of whats left in top soil at the end of use. The only reason I used mixed greens...I like salads. Any interesting conclusions coming up from that...

    DIY Modular LED-Light

    Interesting, what's with those little guys growing around the bottom? Seems like a decent stem for the pot size, although to be honest I never really get much out of people's photos unless they have a pictorial type thing going on. I need to see the plant from all angles, as in full nude, bust...

    DIY Modular LED-Light

    No wonder people try to dope up their 660 levels late in flowering. It seems to just force the plant to stretch. Shade avoidance from too high a 660 ratio? I would like to see a plant grown with those high 660 lights only used during the last 10 days. Maybe it would encourage some foxtailing...

    The Other Best DIY Carbon Filter

    I know this is going to sound weird, but has anyone used charred bird feathers as their activated carbon? A while ago I had read that scientists where trying to create a hydrogen fuel cell that had a more maximized internal surface area, giving a place for the hydrogen to settle while being...
