    The Never Ending Abuse of Phosphorous (Bloom foods) to Enhance Flowering

    It took me almost a week but i finally read this whole thread. Its pretty much exactly what I was looking for as a novice, great explanations of why the leaves yellow, which seems to be the number 1 unaddressed problem in growing. I too have the N deficiency and after weeks of searching, now I...

    Last pic for tonight is some of the stuff on top of my flower box. My reflector is top mounted to a big rectangular hole cut on the top of the box. If I knew the air cooling worked so well, I would have just mounted it inside the box. the buds will probably never get as close to the light as...

    And one more from the flowering crop. Every time I take a close up pic, my phone downsizes the pic when i mail it to myself. I suck at phones and stuff like that and I cant figure out how to make it stop that. I even got in there 2 minutes before sunrise today so i could get a pic without the...

    These 2 were needing daily watering in the cups so I transplanted them into 6" pots. I also mist them a few times a day after a transplant at this stageYou may notices they are planted at a slight angle, pointing towards us. Thats because theyre going to get tied over in that direction as soon...

    Is there a How-to or FAQ thread on nutrient usage in general?

    31 views and no replies. That makes me think 30 other people are wondering the same thing.

    For one, I believe my pot was too small. It was in a 2 gallon pot and it started acting rootbound 4 weeks into flower. Second, I didnt use any good nutrients, just some crap i bought at Lowes. Every fan leaf had fallen off before the trics even started growing, for the last few weeks of...

    Veg box is 30 inches high, 30 inches deep, and 40 inches wide. Flower box is 34 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and roughly 60 inches tall including the light and air duct on top, and a 6 inch high drainage system underneath. This is my first time with 2 plants in it. First time with 1 plant i...

    Thanks Scrog is great when you have limited space. When a branch or plant is growing faster than the rest, you just move it to a hole thats farther away, problem solved. My neighbor is 80 something yrs old, she goes to sleep at 9 right after watching Matlock

    A Bored Electrician to Answer Your Questions

    I have a 400 mh, and depending on the week, its sometimes overkill for the little ones. Will a smaller MH bulb work in a ballast for a 400?

    They only stay in the cups for about 10-12 days before they want water twice a day. Then its on to 6" pots where the LST begins. At that point I take the best 2 of the 3, and the third one is given away to friends, or planted in my neighbors tomato garden at night without telling her lol...

    I take 4 clones at a time, I started using rooting powder a couple months ago and have had a 100% success rate since. I hear gels are better, and understand why, but I cant find any locally and im paranoid about ordering off the internet. 2 days before I clip them of their mom, I decide which...

    Heres my mother plant. I took her out of the box and put her in the shower for the pic, that didnt help much. At current size, she gives me 4 clones every 2 weeks, which is far more than i can actually use. Shes gotten too big for my operation here (2 plants per crop, harvest every 2 months)...

    Island Girl - scrog

    I bought some stuff called Island Girl a year or so ago. Never heard of it, dont know where it comes from, I do live on an island so it might be a local strain, I really dont know. Anyway, It was pretty nice and one of the buds had a seed in it, so I planted it. It grows nice and bushy and...

    Is there a How-to or FAQ thread on nutrient usage in general?

    Im looking for some good reading on what I should be giving my girls to eat. Im 2 weeks into flowering and Id kind of like to give them something other than the generic plant food i normally use.
