    Bold declaration: cat litter trays are better than nursery flats!

    Try Home Depot. They have plastic tubs for preparing concrete, reasonable prices. Some are nice and big.

    Bold declaration: cat litter trays are better than nursery flats!

    Call me crazy, but since I switched to cat boxes instead of nursery flats, I like the fact that the sides are higher and they don’t cost a bunch! I can fit six of them in a 4’x4’ grow tent! You can get cat boxes delivered to your door cheap!

    Cal/mag deficiency or rust fungus?

    Probably deficiency. If you have any Epsom salts give it a dose. If it is low on magnesium, it will perk up quickly and you should be able to notice the difference within 48 hours or so.

    FastBuds AK

    Shit I just realized I posted a duplicate image. Good thing I retired from journalism because that’s the kind of screwup the bosses actually care about.

    FastBuds AK

    Those are just one-gallon fabric pots. I admit I didn’t devote a lot of resources for these plants. I am kind of testing how they perform.

    FastBuds AK

    One of the three is taller than it looks. I bent the main stem and secured it with a twist-tie because it was so much taller than the other two. I just looked at pictures of what AK is supposed to look like on the FastBuds website and am hanging my head in shame because I doubt mine will be that...

    FastBuds AK

    I am running three plants under 24-hour lights (Maxisun PB1000) in a closet with my clones and seedlings. I think these were planted about a month ago.

    Idea to see plant sex early?

    You will probably need at least 10 days of 12/12 light before you get the gender reveal you are seeking. I am growing some plants now that seemed to take even longer, Cherry Pie, I think. You can always clone a plant and put the clone under a short-day light regimen. Make sure you tag the clone...

    Venus Fly Trap

    Those are not beginner plants, especially not starting from seeds. Cape sundew is the easiest but get an adult. Carnivores are tricky.

    I hate gnats …

    So I put Mexican pinguicula on my Christmas wish list and I got this. I switched to a new container with fresh media today because it’s raining outside and carnivorous plants prefer untreated water as a general rule. It was a lot smaller when I got it. The black smudges on the leaves used to be...

    Gnats

    I think I once got rid of them by adding a little medical peroxide to the water. Plants can tolerate it if it’s diluted.

    Gnats

    You grow in soil? Try diatomaceous earth. Also Bt is supposed to be good for the little bastards.

    LED lights for a 2’X7’ closet?

    I was hoping to spend no more than $400 on the closet lights. Eventually I will add a tent or three, maybe, so I will need more lights for them. The closet is as tall as the room (8 or 9 feet) but it has a shelf approximately at 5 feet 6 which would limit how tall plants could grow.

    LED lights for a 2’X7’ closet?

    i I can’t figure out if I would be able to daisy-chain them together. It looks like each one pulls about 100 watts from the outlet.

    LED lights for a 2’X7’ closet?

    Lol I should have known blurple would be obsolete by now! I saw this at Home Depot the other day but I don’t know if it would be good for flowering...

    LED lights for a 2’X7’ closet?

    I was hoping to get some kind of blurple light, possibly three like this, but the price seems too low to be true for cranking out flowers. https://www.amazon.com/BLOOMSPECT-Lights-Indoor-Spectrum-Suitable/dp/B07QQY9CFB Also I found this. I like the fact that you can angle the beams by bending...

    LED lights for a 2’X7’ closet?

    Trying to keep it cheap and simple: Can I grow decent flowers if I set up three lights that are supposed to cover a 2’X2’ area in this narrow closet? The ones I am looking at all advertise themselves as 1,000-watt equivalent but draw less than 300 actual watts. Plants would be no more than 3’...
