Here is a link to a article I posted here a few weeks ago. It is loaded with information about LEDs. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/345044-led-light-arrays-all-about.html Just remember the word 'spikes' and remember that sunshine is broad-banded! I hope you find the post helpful! I...

Keep the chemicals in the lab... Keep your plants happy and healthy! Do it Mother Natures way... I highly recommend Ladybugs! Get a BIG container of them for about $9 and you will begin to have results almost immediately. More good news: The good ladies eat a host of other critters too...

This morning I ran across this interesting and very helpful site: National Garden Wholesale : Downloads The site contains several Guides and FAQs related to gardening and indoor gardening, but these Guides are very high quality PDF files! I tried to upload a few for you but I was...

Actually, George was (among many other things) a well established farmer and hemp was one of his prime crops so of course he sold it and you can bet George didn't have a dispensary... But I've not seen, nor have heard of good ole' George loading up his pipe or himself? Interesting though...

A good idea too! No, I have not had that problem because I never allow my soil to get so hard that roots can't grow or navigate. If it is so hard it can't accept a stir-stick, methinks the soil is much too hard. No offense, but I like mine better because I can adjust/cut the stir-stick to the...

Thank you for your reply. You know, it's just one of those things... the plants in back are 1 Full Moon older... same seeds, same germination process, the lights have not been adjusted (yet) and there is a fan gently moving all of them, My newer 4 simply grew taller, faster and the only...

HONESTLY... while it is a easy and novel approach, I would not want to molest any plant that much... UNLESS it was Primo!

A picture is worth... And SAY... see my LadyBug on patrol on the rim? She is one of MANY! I remain... SOGLAD

Support for new weak plants... With harvest time near I am starting my new crop. A few of my new babies are quite weak and almost top-heavy. I waited some days hoping they would right themselves but now they need additional help. The main stems are too weak to tie up to small...

Marq, I was more than curious about LED arrays and discovered some very interesting and critical things about LED's. Please see my post here: https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/345044-led-light-arrays-all-about.html#post4349151 Read it and decide for yourself. The post is a bit...

Thank you so much for your reply and good thoughts. OK, I will hang tight and allow Mother Nature to do her work. It's wonderful how plants know just what to do when they are given all they need to do their job. At the first sign of a branch bending over I will go for your chicken wire...

Yes, because the supporting branches are already straining from the weight now. My buds still have quite a lot of green to them (about 75%) and because I fimmed, there is a abundance of colas... much more than the White Widow expected ~ I do believe. I don't think the branches will snap, but...

Howdy all... I have so many wonderful and abundant White Widow (female) colas that the branches soon will be unable to support the weight! And there are so many colas that a simple stakes won't be enough. I was thinking of making a upper frame with strings ~ much like a marionette, but...

A wall mounted thermostat can be your answer for heater control. Just be SURE to find one with a (glass enclosed) mercury switch inside. You want the mercury switch because larger heaters draw many amps of current. The mercury saves your contacts. If you are investing in a thermostat it may...

Well unless you cause suspicion, you have no worries... call it anything you like... how about a "POWER SUPPLY" ~ which it is, OR how about a "battery charger"? Unless YOU throw the flags up, they will NOT open to x-ray or inspect because... Post Office people are fundamentally VERY lazy and...

Find a used and dead window air conditioner and gut it... just be sure to keep the outside looking as stock as possible. Next, put in the largest fan you can and install it inside! Heck, if you have the room inside the cabinet, put in TWO... one pointing at the other and both pointing inside...

YES, the above ideas work for MOST power consuming devices... Electronics ~ as in microwave ovens, floor heaters, air conditioners... I'm sure you can think of many others. The golden rule: DISCONNECT your device BEFORE you test ANYTHING inside. SG

Well ballasts must deliver substantially high power to your bulbs. Many are designed to deliver 'just enough' power to get the job done with little 'headroom' or cushion beyond that. In other words, most ballasts run balls out! If the fan is still running, I suspect there MAY be a "automatic...

OK... you have me very curious, but so far I have used 100% spring water (1 gallon jugs)... do I really need one of these puppies? SG

Really? Don't you have to KNOW someone up there? I mean ya don't want to get caught harvesting just anyone's' crop because they will not appreciate it and doing so could make you very dead. SG
