    Iced Grapefruit, Skunk#1, Menage a Trois, Flower from day 1

    Yeah, I agree, Gandalf threw himself out there in the organics section and the guys really responded with a lot of support and guidance. Some real knowledgeable peeps that share info about soil, food, and keeping the plants green and happy. I'm on there too, whether they like it or not ;-) Still...

    Other Side of the Fence...Where the Grass is Always Greener

    You guys want to weight in on this ^^^ and give the new guy your opinion of his first plant. I think it looks better than my first plant. I killed the first four in seed, so I think you are ahead of me :leaf:

    Convert Socket to use CFL bulb

    I've been real good man, thanks for asking. Have a couple completed grow threads and a F(&k-around thread (Other Side of Fence) We all just hang out and post our bud porn and trouble shoot those in need. Miss your daily insight on the RIU grows man. I can only hope you moved on to bigger and...

    Convert Socket to use CFL bulb

    Interesting idea. Worse case scenario, grab a socket at the hardware store and cut the wire. Make yourself a pair of pigtails so you can switch them out anytime, ya know. On the cheap, just cut extension cords and you have the couplers for the job.

    Hey Slip, plants looking good bro. What's your max height on the LSDs? I'm trying to tweak some design ideas I have for my closet.

    In need of first grow advice.

    I wouldn't do a hydro or bubble on a first grow. Organic soil is better for you and the plants. Easier too. Other piece of advice, if stealth is important, get a vpn for computer and phones and have grow gear shipped to PO box or friends place. Forget about the choppers, your little grow puts...

    Growing containers

    Simple answer OP.. . transplanting multiple times refreshes the soil. All my food is in the soil after seedling stage. I just add water. Smaller containers are also easy to water and handle during a grow. My transplant schedule is solo cup (base soil), 1 gal, 3 gal, and 5 gal (week before...

    What soil should I use?

    First time I used this: Organic bagged + Mushroom Compost + Perlite at equal ratios and supplemented with Roots Organics Budha Grow Bloom. Had to feed every two waterings. Now I use Roots Organics Original Potting Soil 1.5 cu. ft. per plant. Ingredients: Coco fiber, peat moss, perlite...

    Lighting questions.. Considering LED over hps/mh combo

    No, I have not performed a dark period before harvest. I read the article Stew linked up earlier. IMO, it doesn't really hold water. I think any benefit realized is from novice growers that chop too early anyway. The extra week and half gives the plant time to ripen in the pot and the benefits...

    Noob question on water with sprouting

    Sorry dude, I can't tell from the picture. Stick your finger in there and see how the soil feels about an inch or two down. If it's flaky and dry water them. If it's wet or moist, don't. Make sure those tiles they're sitting on are around 80 degrees, warmth helps too.

    Lighting questions.. Considering LED over hps/mh combo

    Hey between you and me and the rest the world, whatever works. I didn't want to call you out on this. You seem very knowledgeable on what you have researched. But these guys are throwing hard cash at gear and the last thing I'm going to do is take them down a path that I haven't personally been...

    Lighting questions.. Considering LED over hps/mh combo

    Bottom line, if you're not growing with it and haven't posted pics of your LED grow, stop wasting everybody's time. This is all you have for LEDs DCobeen? I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt and trust what you have to say, but do you own the panels you are suggesting others to use...

    Chill Myco, go have a smoke. :bigjoint: You add a lot to the community and your thread is killer, be a shame to delete. RIU won't delete it anyway, lol, unless you are under 18? I would have a smoke with you, but I gave away my Volcano last night! Hated parting with it, family, what are you...

    See, that's what happens when you share private info online Myco. The world is your audience. Newb just wanted to empathize with your very personal situation and because someone doesn't have any rep, posts, or history, we get all defensive. Simply put, we are blind to the intent and have to...

    I think you're a troll and need to get out of here unless you got something to add to the cannabis conversation. Maybe try another category for a warmer response to your posts. Is that all 190s or is there HID supplement too? Can't remember where these are in the grow room. Watch that...

    How much longer in veg?

    I'd flip them at 30" from floor to tip. That gives you another 18" for stretch and 24" for fixture and canopy distance. 72" total.
