    best smoking device?

    I have tried a few different "portable" herb/wax vaporizers and they all suck in my opinion, but that is just me. I have one of the old school tabletop ones with the ceramic heating element and hose and it works great. But if you travel over to the Concentrates room on RIU, you will find that...

    Newbie Soil Question

    I can't say that seed starter soil is necessary. And I hate MG. But I am not an expert grower and it is what works for me. I use the same method for clones. I too throw some perlite at the bottom of all pots. I started to keep away the gnats that eat the bottom (have none since I started...

    Newbie Soil Question

    My mix is basically those four in equal parts with about 2T of dolomite lime added per gallon. I germ with the paper towel method. From there into MG Seed Starter with about 30% added perlite in a solo cup with holes at the bottom. Then once established into the soil mix and their final pot...

    best smoking device?

    I have become a fan of making vape juice. I have a variety of the "not huge" $20 range batteries and so long as they have adjustable wattage, they all work fine. The tanks are nothing special either. I can partake anywhere with no recognizable odor. Looks exactly the same as when using for...

    Need some advice here..

    I grow under one Area51 Sgs160. I am pushing its limits in a similar sized area. I keep 3-4 plants under it. Yield is not up to par with stuff I read on the site, but plenty to keep me happy.

    HELP!!

    i don't grow in coco so i may be wrong. but there are no nutrients in it. I think youmay need to intro a very small amount of veg nutes. They will grow slow for a while as they expand their roots. the light color, indicating N def, is more troubling to me than size. But read up on coco...

    Two weeks old, whats the problem?

    I think ur fine. They always do some funky stuff when little. I find that the clone who always looks like she won't make it ends up thriving. Those are big pots for little plants IMHO...

    humidity, how to measure it and control it

    depends on your setup. As pointed out above, some basic things have a huge impact. I run a flower tent and a veg cab in the same room of my house. So I actually run a small humidifier just outside of the intake of the Veg cab and a dehumidifier in the larger room to dry up intake air for the...

    What to do with this tall asshole

    i wouldn't worry about the light being closer. My A51 has never bleached anything out and I have had the lights closer than rec when my plants aren't all even heights.

    Please advise

    the closer you can get the lights to the plants the better, without burning them of course. I would be scared to have that one bulb sitting on a cardboard box...

    Can i conclude red stems are plant specific if the new seedling has it??

    I get them. I don't know why. My plants stay happy and green. I never yearn for weed. So now I consider them pretty :-)

    Leaves, My story and such.

    I have smoked my leaf. but not since I got my grow system down. In any case, they will get you high and I never noticed any headache. Nowadays, I make Iso oil out of them. Not great yield but it works. If you are going to smoke them... Put in a ig baggie when fresh, crunch them up and...

    Please help nutes

    I don't grow autos and I use a neutral soil. If you go with something like promix as your medium, you will need nutes sooner. Pick your brand, find their feeding chart on line, and ease into it at about 25-30% of their rec dose. I use dyna gro. If using a nutes soil they generally have...

    Soil experts assemble!!

    Ooops, short term memory loss. I would go very small rocks or big sand if such a thing exists. Vermiculite also works but hold more water. I would find out what people do locally to better aerate dense soils. There must be some local solution. I have never had a problem with soil PH and my...

    Soil experts assemble!!

    Not sure of the question. I mix up roughly equal parts of cheap potting soil (compost in it being the only nutes), peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. I mix in about 2T of dolomite lime per gallon. Not saying it is any sort of uber mix but it works, I can control the nutes, and the roots...

    Game changer Emulsifying Vegetable Glycerin and BHO for E-Juice

    All of the small vape pens are shit for vaping herb or oils from my experience. Now the modern tanks and batteries like GG is saying works great when mixing with PG. How does one compare the stuff out there with the stuff we old timers used to smoke? THC levels have skyrocketed and one does...

    Help with soil mix?

    With those soils, add no nutes until some time down the line when the plants show signs of needing them. Yes, you can add perlite liberally. But you need to see if that perlite has nutes in it. Once you need nutes, ease into the schedule you can find online. Be careful, easier to kill with...
