    How much weight before an automtic trimmer becomes worth it?

    Thats exactly what it would be. nothing special. 1. Cut blades off 2. Make new, flat edged blades, angled in the opposite direction, weld them on. 3. Replace the grate with slotted sheetmetal its that simple

    How much weight before an automtic trimmer becomes worth it?

    Im a metal fabricator, and I could build a nice one out of shit i have laying around, without spending a single dollar. Ive watched the videos on youtube, and trimming by hand clearly does a better job. I have to trim a few plants tomorrow, about a half pound worth once its dry. I cant decide...

    rookie mistake, transplanting advice/ opinions?

    First things first - Did you pay a lot of money for the seeds or were they bagseeds? If theyre bagseed, pull them out and start over. Youre only a week into it at this point. If you paid money for good seeds, theyre still worth trying to save. Those plants are so small, the roots are...

    Do it yourself Ph adjuctment...

    I use vinegar. One eye dropper full brings a gallon from 7.6 down to 6.8. I have no idea how much the eye dropper holds but it doesnt really matter since I test it anyway.

    Just failed my test and lost my job

    My test was friday, first day of work was yesterday, and I got canned right after lunch today. This morning I was reading the new employee manual, and almost every paged emphasized a strong anti drug use policy. Random tests every 3 months, etc. It just wasnt meant to be.

    Just failed my test and lost my job

    I had so much faith in the drink. Now I know, an expensive lesson learned.

    Just failed my test and lost my job

    Im pretty disappointed in myself. Yesterday I started my new job making $24 an hour (fuck yes) and today I got fired for failing my drug test. I knew it was coming, I stayed clean for a week in advance, and I used the grape flavored "Omni cleansing drink" the morning of the test. When I was...

    Yay for alabama

    Illegal immigration is a much bigger problem than most people realize. Especially people from the north. This is a very good point. BUT, ask a native american what happens if you dont limit immigration. You lose your country. Drive around any southwestern city and you'll see it happening...

    Aircooled Hoods/Glass

    For the amount of heat it keeps off the plants its totally worth losing a little light.

    Random plant growing in my mothers garden

    Dont bother trying to clone that. Its not gonna be great, but it will fill a blunt or 2 for free. Read up in the "harvesting and curing" section here to get the best taste from it.

    yield is not what i expected

    That means youre averaging 20 watts per plant, assuming no light is wasted. Thats only a little more light than a cell phone screen would providebongsmilie

    how close can i get with a scrog

    Hold your hand under a light. When its close enough to be unconfortably warm, thats too close.

    what to do with waste?

    Get rid of 4 or 5 pots worth per day in the garbage. Theres no rule that you have to get rid of it all at once.

    what to do with waste?

    I burn my leaves and stems from harvest. Fire pit in the summer, wood stove in the winter. The dirt/root balls go into thick black garbage bags and I dont take out the garbage until the truck is 2 houses away.

    Did I make a discovery?

    I dont believe the clock thing. One time I thought my clippings were getting too much light, so i moved my cloner to a corner of the box that got some shade from the mother. Instead of growing roots, they started flowering. Moved them back and they grew roots, stopped flowering and grew new...

    Rookie Growers Please Read 2

    On my last grow, I flushed 2 plants, and didnt flush my third, just to see if I could taste a difference. I couldnt. Ive tried not watering for the final week too a few times. Definitely notice a difference there, the buds get lighter in color, and they get so sticky that a grinder is...
