    supplementary 50 watt metal halide?

    so im curious if you think it would be worthwhile to use a small bulb like a 50 watt metal halide (that is otherwise just sitting in a corner collecting dust) alongside a 1000 watt hps during flower to try to provide some UVA and UVB and perhaps to a lesser extent some of the missing blue...

    When to germinate/transplant

    in my opinion give it 1 month from when you plant the seed to when it will go outside, at least. the strain your growing wont affect when you should start it. giving it 1 month from seed should get you a couple sets of true leaves.

    replace bulb light

    you dont HAVE to replace them, aerogarden claims that after 6 months the bulbs no longer put out the orginal lumens they did when they were new, however they still use the same amount of power. chances are you want it to run as efficient as possible, which is why they reccomend to swap them out...

    total noob totally confused la diva at 6-7 weeks

    how does it look like its unfinished? do you have your pre-flowers/have any of the white hairs begun to turn brown at all? really the only way to be able to tell for certain when it is finished is not by the timeframe given by the seed company but by looking at the trichomes with a small...

    Bonsai weed

    just get an autoflowering seed, then you can leave the light on 24/7 if you wanted, it has no vegetative cycle, you can easily keep one of those under a foot tall

    my flowering plants are to tall

    dunno how far you are into flowering and how much it could grow yet but if its not too long yet, just snap the stem so its still attached but kinked, lose some weight and potency uptop but everything else will keep growing and the highest part of the plant will no longer be getting the most...

    Ozonating water in hydroponic system.

    dunno if an ozonator makes it or what, but hydrogen peroxide (h2o2, h2o with an extra oxygen attached) has worked great for me, i had a bunch of white slime buildup, still not 100% sure what it is but if i dont use h2o2 within about a week you can notice bits of white slime floating around and...

    Extra CFL ?

    in the tutorial sicc posted it mentions Bulbs ranging in the 2700K-3000K spectrum are usually labeled Warm White or Soft White so your all set for flowering but for veg your gonna want 5000-6500k otherwise your wasting electrcity on light the plants cant use as effectively, though its still...

    Germinating In AG

    you cant tell for sure which way the root is going to come out if you just germinate it in the sponge until it pops out, hence the paper towel method, your guarenteed to have your taproot facing directly down

    What Ph control is best?

    ph down you should use nitric or phosphoric acid, for ph up potassium hydroxide. if you get a more concentrated formula, just use less, and you definately dont need much

    Germinating In AG

    why would you cut seeds in half? no reason you cant germ them in the aerogarden but use the humidity domes, though the paper towel way makes it easier to set the seed into your basket root facing down which helps things get off to a good start. you shouldnt need nutes to germinate either. youll...

    Foliar Question

    im not sure if this is why but apparently (google) Club Soda is usually distinguished from seltzer, sparkling water, or carbonated water by the addition of a small amount of mineral salt, such as sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, disodium phosphate, or similar. not to say that yours has...

    Roots covered coated in slime snot

    i had what sounds like the same slime as you have in my aerogarden, not sure what started it, but 4 flushes and cleanings later it seems to be gone, i got h2o2 now as well to keep it from coming back. if you can get the 35%, mines 29%, apparently theres additives in 3% to increase the shelf life...

    First Hydro Grow, I need some advice please (pics)

    for starters you have a clear resivoir, light can get in which isnt good for the roots and can make algae grow. also a ph of 6 is for soil, you should be 5.2-5.8 for hydro. looks almost like a nute burn, what strength did you mix your nutes at? hope they get better!

    Plant Problems--Lowering PH?

    dont use vinegar to do your ph, get nitric or phosphoric acid for ph down and potassium hydroxide for ph up. you shouldnt need much to get your desired ph, it go's fast. ph being that far out will make certain nutrients almost unavailable to the plant
