    What would YOU do if you had $200-300 to build a GrowBox?

    I can build a pretty sweet aero setup for $50. that leaves $250 for a fan and lights so you can go big and get an HID … no tent though, you will need a closet or even just a corner of a room and a bit of diy. Also that's a wicked cool avatar.

    LST & Nutrients

    im interested because i just did the same with insulated garden wire (so cutting isn't the problem) and noticed a huge jump in nutrient problems… but it might just be a coincidence. I didn't think lst would mess with nutrient needs, ill go read more.

    If I have acute (and severe) nutrient problems can a foliar spray help fix them faster than just feeding through the roots?

    Early nutrients

    What are people doing for nutrients in one of two situations: Aero setup devoted to clones Aero setup devoted to Seeds It seems like many people here are using just water and a bit of indole butyric acid (from whatever company you prefer) but others may be using small amounts of nutrients...

    HELP please

    I've got an update and it doesn't look good. As you can see there are 3 colas one main and two tiny ones on the top left and bottom left of the picture, though you can only really see the top left one, just trust that the one on the bottom left looks about the same. Why is the main cola having...

    How does flushing not result in overwatering

    Overwatering is more about frequency than amount, if I give a massive amount of water to correct pH and nutrient problems (like a gallon per 5 gallon pot) once a week would that be overwatering? Yes? No?

    Leaf Discoloration

    Just thought I'd repeat that those last couple pictures are definitely heat stressed. I still haven't figured out how to get rid of the brown spots but I recognize heat stress in half a second. CFL's have a really small sweetspot between the too close for heat and too far because of poor light...

The only place I can find manganese is in a multivitamin… is there anything in there that can hurt a plant in large doses? I'm looking at huge amounts of vitamin c vitamin b6 and...

    An interesting situation

    There's only 2 decent explanations i've been able to come up with 1. bugs 2. the moisture retention mixed with temps of 50 degrees at night caused some kind of incredibly rapid decay something about perlite being completely inert saved the seedlings but i'm not sure what it is.
