    Going on vacation, I Need advice...

    I would be careful with anything that will have enough water to potentially flood. Or hook it up for a while before leaving to make sure all if good. Those globes may be your best bet. In all reality, water them heavy, keep the tent cooler than normal, make that fan blow a little less, etc and...

    New (old) idea for new (old) grafting technique

    I tend to roast the green beans on an iron skillet and then use the French press when going for perfection. I actually used to work in the specialty coffee industry and was fortunate to get to taste some of the best coffee in the world prepared by the best baristas. There is nothing like the...

    moving plants out of the tent, will this be sweet?

    Put them in a bathroom with the exhaust fan on. Should be fine.

    Hi advice

    I rigged up one of those CO2 lines when I started. There is a jug with sugar yeast water or vinegar and baking soda somewhere. :-) You don't need to fuck with it at all. Fan for exhaust as said will get rid of heat. An opening at the bottom for passive intake is fine. once she gets going...

    My DIY Drying Box

    Every day is precious in the flower tent so I decided it was time to get rid of using it for drying. Tis the Amazon season so I converted this big cardboard box. I got a 4" duct fan, cut some holes in the bottom, and put a small fan inside that is blowing against a box so providing some...

    New (old) idea for new (old) grafting technique

    I have wondered about this. It is commonplace in coffee where most arabica is grafted onto a robusta stock. Robusta is more durable but arabica tastes better.

    Newcomer with some basic questions

    Agreed on humidity. Take a baggie, cut a slit in the bottom, mist inside, and place over the top. Also, slap those cups into ones that are colored. Light will be bad for roots once they start growing. And cut some drain holes into the bottom of the cup. Soil should be damp, not wet.

    any comments on nutes

    "a soil" doesn't tell us much. The question is whether it is a nuted soil like MG, Fox Farms, etc or something without added time released nutes. Age of plant would help as well. It is hard to make out color from the pic. If she is getting a lighter shade of green it is a good sign she needs...

    giving defoliation during flower a try

    Many, or some, or me, of us do not have a brain for botany and realize that. I do my best to follow but science was never my thing. With that said, I come here not looking for easy answers but to better understand. While all of the mudslinging is obnoxious, I think it helps peeps like me to...

    Monstercropping Question

    I put my cuttings into MG Seed Starter with about 30% added perlite, into a solo cup about 3/4 full, with a misted baggie over it, on a seed warming pad. I hate MG for all else but have admit this works for me. I would say I lose maybe 1 in 15 clones. She is coming along. Little by little...

    Can I use dry sift To make vape liquid

    What you might be able to do is mix it with a small amount of ethanol, put on a coffee warmer to get rid of the ethanol, and then mix in the PG, PEG, etc. For the record, but not arguing, I think PG is smoother than PEG. But to each is own :-)

    Do you let your kids in your grow room / outdoor grow?

    I think it depends on age, the kid, and the community. Mine know I grow stuff in my office. But they never see in the tent and they see me go up and thee and grab basil and other cooking herbs. Honestly, as much as anything my concern if teens would be loose lips, misjudging friends, and...

    First grow 12/12 from seed

    If it is an auto, no need for 12-12. You need more light. I am guessing those are 60w equivalent, not 60w actual. Surround that plant with bulbs and keep them as close as possible to the plant.

    Some help with air circulation?

    Plants need fresh air. You need circulation. You don't need to bring in air from outdoors. Just from the room the tent sits in.

    Stunt growth during flower

    I just mean she is flowering. Sativas are slow. I have never grown one. But what happens when you switch to 12-12 is that for a couple weeks the plants "grows" a ton. With indica doms 2-3x the prior height. Then the bud sites form and grow. So if she stopped growing and the buds are starting...

    Home Depot Cree - distance from canopy

    They are a little underfed right now because I laid down the nutes a bit trying to get dialed in. There really should not be any salt buildup though. I run with good runoff, use Drip Clean in all feedings, etc. In any case, that is what has me exploring. These are clones of the first run...

    Home Depot Cree - distance from canopy

    Here are some pics. Some leaves get it and pretty quickly are ready to be pulled. My soil mix is unchanged. Same DynaGro nutes as always so I am not fucking with a bunch of stuff. Nothing different from prior grows except new strain (Barney's Blue Cheese).
