    how should i check for harvest if a plant has nice big buds but no tricombs?

    just watch the hairs when they are ALL red or orange your there. some people cut at about 75 to 80 percent red, but it think its like any other fruit. if its not ripe dont pick it, early fruit is sour, ripe fruit is sweet and juicy.... same applies here.

    Coconut coir anyone?

    Dirty... maybe you can clear this up for me.... what i am understanding is: if my runoff is at 6.5 and i want my ph at 6 i use a nutrient solution that is ph'd to 5.5 and that will balance the ph in the root zone to 6? in other words offset the solution going in to find the balance when it...

    Coconut coir anyone?

    Fox farm nutes big grow. 100% coir coco from hydrofarms. back to hand watering. 1/4 strenght nutes watering every other day. i havent used my ph up or ph down because the water i buy has a ph of 6.0, adding 1/4 strenght nutes only lowers it a touch, im guessing around 5.5 to 5.8. tap water is...
