    Try putting about 25% vermiculite in a test or two...it seems to help with just enough water retention to make a difference without keeping the stem too wet.

    Cloning

    The best method I've found is to use a small cup like the kind you wash you mouth with at the dentist office, you can find these at walmart next to the big red cups. Poke a hole in the bottom so you get run off and fill with a 50/50 mix of perlite and vermiculite. Take your cutting and then take...

    Pretreating DWC media?

    I think the food safe containers like the white buckets at home depot are worth the extra dollar due to this. The rubbermaid professional series totes are good to. I can vouch for the sterlite containers as well, the black ones. Perhaps treating with a mild bleach water solution for a day would...

    Passive Hydro, or Sips , or Wicks or Octopots, Anyone using them?

    The growth is not as fast as active hydro in my limited experience but hempy buckets are really nice and simple.

Anyways...for some super simple to get you going please check out hempy buckets. And, get your self some dynagro foliage pro and bloom. If you can afford it get a decent PH...

    Quietest 6" In-Line Fan?

    I've got both an 8 and 6 inch S&P silent version. They're expensive but with both going full bore I can't even hear them 20ft away. They are the first fans I ever bought so I don't have really any comparison but I'm sensitive to loud noise and these exceeded my expectations. Both are paired...

    Lots of bad news for Denver..

    It's sad because it's so true; I wished it wasn't but it is. This country that I love so much is in dire distress but it's masked with political tactics and other distractions. When people care more about who's going to win the night on american idol then what their government is doing is a...

    Lots of bad news for Denver..

    This is why voter turnout from both liberal and conservatives alike is down to a record level, especially the young voters that are coming up. Old and young people are starting to realize that it doesn't matter who you vote for as other than titles and party lines the lies, deceit and story line...

    deep freeze or cool and dark for long term storage?

    Nice, thanks. So, perhaps putting seeds in mason jars on vacuum sealing and freezing would work after all!

    deep freeze or cool and dark for long term storage?

    I've heard of people storing seeds for 10 yrs or more and having great success but I know keeping them dry is the key. So, wondering if freezing would help more or what. I'd like to save sees that I run across for years to come.

    deep freeze or cool and dark for long term storage?

    Neither am I ...I guess. I'll probably harvest a few ounces per grow. I don't need much about 2oz every six months or so. But the strains I really like I 'd want to store a few z's along the way. Also, how are you guys storing seeds long term that you run across and like? Do you store them in...

    deep freeze or cool and dark for long term storage?

    I'm wondering after drying and curing if deep freezing or just a cool dark place would be best for preserving bud for years. I plan on using vacuum bags after curing and then storing away but not sure if freezing is going to be ok. I know that the majority use mason jars but I'm leaning on the...

    weed and anxiety... need help

    You need to get your anxiety under control or it will eventually wreak your life and body as it plays havoc on your central nervous system. CBT has helped me greatly however I've finally had to shit or get off the pot and I realize the high THC strains do this to me and the fact that I'm...

    I'm not sure either. I'm wondering if peek induction time or ramp could play a very small factor. Say a electric motor takes 3 times as long to ramp up to full power on 120 vs 220. Could the time factor stretch long enough to cost a little more? Or, a ballast that fires twice as fast and reaches...

    I like this way of thinking! Even in today times I still think all work should be done oneself as you can't afford to trust anyone. Don't get me wrong I do in fact love that some states are either straight out legalizing it or some medial tolerance but what happens if state law changes again and...

    So, I'm not the only one who walks around and thinks how could I grow in this or that; It's comforting to know others look at our environments with such extrapolations. Are you a Engineer?

    How far away is the growing area from the panel? If not far you'd be best served by getting some romex and pulling a dedicated drop to the grow area. Also, if you ballast and other equipment can do 220 you could pull a small 30 amp breaker...220 is still the same price as a watt is a watt but it...

    I use one of these to measure my draw, I can see that I'm pulling 8.2 amp on a 15 amp breaker. http://www.amazon.com/P3-International-P4460-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B000RGF29Q
