    Does increased wattage require increased feeding?

    I read the other day that if you dramatically increase your lights wattage, you also should increase the frequency of your feeding schedule accordingly. The reason being when you dramatically increase the intensity of the light, it causes the plant to grow faster. Accelerates it's metabolism...

    Day 33

    Thanks. I've been growing for some time, but only photos. This is my first time using autos. I really read up and did my homework before I even bought seeds, so I was ready. I've already done some initial LST, but your right, once they stretch in flower they'll get a couple more rounds. A...

    pH and light strength?

    I've always read it's important to keep your pH level in the 5.8-6.5 range when watering your plants. I'm always hyper focused on it, and tend to overthink things. However, does the strength of your light change the pH factor in relation to your plants? I run a 1000w MH in veg and a 1000w HPS...

    What is this and what's it for?

    A friend gave this to me, and I'm not sure what it's for. I already have a Bluelab pH meter, but aside from water temp I don't know what it does?

    installed a 1000w MH today

    As planned, I started my 4 Fastbuds autos three weeks ago under a 600w MH. Today was day 22, we gave them their second dose of LST, gave them a light feeding, and installed my new 1000w MH. Wow is it bright! Raised the light a bit. So far heat is a non issue since I have an air cooled...

    Recently expired nutrients

    A good friend recently quit growing, and gave me a load of all his nutrients. All high quality stuff. However, much of it is recently past the "use by" date. Is it still worth using?

    ideas, Fastbuds auto

    How can you tell if a plant needs Calmag? I always was under the assumption that calcium was necessary to promote strong cell walls and stems. Also allow the roots to easily absorb nutrients. I've always added it every other watering.

    ideas, Fastbuds auto

    I fed this auto Wedding Cheesecake a 1/4 dose of Calmag the day before, and then did it's first LST session. Then this shows up. Thoughts?

    420 Fastbuds. Gorilla Cookies, Blue Dream and Wedding Cheesecake. Soil is FFOF amended with perlite and myco in a 5 gallon pot. Light is presently 600w MH. I plan on waiting another week before switching out the 600w MH for a 1000w MH for the remainder of veg. Then I'll switch out that bulb...

    Fastbuds, Banana Purple Punch, 30.4 THC

    I got their email today. 30.4 THC new world record! Heavy Indica dominant sounds like big medicine. I realize home growers like us will likely not get that level of THC, but it'll sure be fun trying. I'm ordering a few seeds tomorrow and try them after this grow.

    Smoke detectors in a grow tent

    Anyone? A friend said to me he would never grow with a HID, esp HPS due to the risk of fire. I suppose there's a possibility, but Ive never heard of it happening. I've heard tales of drivers on LEDs catching fire, but again, never seen nor heard of it. I would think if this was a...
