    The myth of Rockwool

    You never squeeze rochwool. That collapses the structure making it worthless. I bought 4 cases really cheap at an auction so I'm sorta stuck with it. I like doing seedlings and clones with it. Soaked to 5.5 ph. And the bulk of Holland is fed by the stuff via huge commercial...

    HPS Light Height- Burning

    BB, Ya, once the leaves are burnt...you are then dealing with a stressed plant and raise light even higher then normal. Didn't 10" seem a little hot to your hand under the light? JD

    Giving up and buying overalls... need advice

    Cato, I'd go with Carhartt if you want quality (at a higher price). You'll be stylin' all the way to the feed store. And if you go commando...it's really easy to scratch your balls. JD

    I think you meant to ask Rky. I'm just getting things set up like you. The splitter units are small and have 1/2" npt inlet and 1/4" outlet... JD

    Need help with automated top fed system asap!

    Hey Rky, Wanted to ask if there's been any issues using clear aquarium tubing. Algae...that sort of thing. I hate that stiff black tubing. Oh and a little aside. Set up a couple of my Waterfarms yesterday. They re-designed the air riser tube so it can't be disassembled. I think it has...

    Need help with automated top fed system asap!

    PSB, Hey dude...I'm in similar circumstances. Tired of hauling water. But first man...a month is too long to expect to leave your garden unattended. You would need a 500 gal res for one thing...unless you have a float and a keep full system. To say nothing of the safety issue. Just...

    Taking clones

    Hi Diggs, Yes just water. My Grandma used to do cuttings in just a glass of water. Ph it if you want.. A recent tip I picked up here. Those horti heat mats can be too hot. Probably why Beachwalker suggested a controller. I just take a few chop sticks and place them under the tray to keep a...

    Taking clones

    Hi Diggs, I'm with Beachwalker on no nutes...with one caveat. When I reach maybe 5 days...if medium is dry and needs watering, I'll throw some really light nutes like 1/8 just to tempt them. Keep them in a dome till they can keep looking good without it. In the early days I'll take the dome...

    PICS - Can you help identify the deficiency?

    Hi Tuck, Glad my post was useful...that's the goal. First off I need to identify myself as a less-is-more kinda guy. I didn't confront Jimdamick because he seems to know what he's doing...for him. And yes...if you can bump up air exchange just by turning a knob...that would bring in extra CO2...

    PICS - Can you help identify the deficiency?

    Hi Tuck, Just make the increases slowly so that if you get a little tip burn...then just back off. You'll see those high PPMs with guys running CO2 all the time. Back to K+ for a sec. I am restarting in new location and using coco. Been doing lots of reading. The deal with coco and K+ is...

    Nothing beats a Zig Zag,what's your favorite papers?

    Hi Guys, My 1st choice is the orange ZigZags. Being 70, my fingers aren't as nimble as they once were. And these allow a good grip on the paper. One dispensary in town (my preferred one) has only Rolling Supreme. A little slick and I have to wet my fingers with a bit of spit to get a tight...

    Ph pen just broke! Plants need watering asap! What do i do??

    Skoal...hope you bought two so you are prepared for next time. @NoviceKing ...yup, the guys set you straight. Always pay attention to such volumes so you can be free of your meter if needed. About a decade ago I had an ebb&flow table that was very stable, so just for fun...I did an entire...

    How can I control heat/odor in my grow tent without wasting c02?

    Hey Dope, I've read that one strategy is to use timers and alternate exhaust and CO2 supplementation. I believe they make auto CO2 controllers that will do that. You will waste some CO2 but it's inevitable. I've been growing for half a century and got by pretty good with no...

    Your latest seed purchase?

    Hi Everyone, I recently decided to make an attempt at indoor sativa growing. Grown haze in the past...but many of those are fairly tame compared to growing full-on sats. So to further that goal, I'be been reading up and chose Ace for their rep and nice selection. Bought from singleseedcenter...

    Psychosis anyone?

    Actuosity...glad you have managed to avoid any mental issues. It seems if it's going to be a problem (drug use and mental illness)...it occurs fairly early on. So smoke on! I forgot to post this little story that occurred 1968. I lived with a group of fellow hippies in a huge old house just...
