    1000 watt Bestva led with veg and bloom switch

    These lights are the basic of the basic. They are not well made, and you run the risk of really shorting them out with a humidifier because of the holes cut into the glass leaving them completely exposed.

    1000 watt Bestva led with veg and bloom switch

    You definitely need to lower them to around 18 inches for veg. when flowering stretch is over you want to try to keep them at about 12 to 14 inches away.

    1000 watt Bestva led with veg and bloom switch

    BestVa is KingLED. They are the very same company trying to con folks into thinking it's another brand. They will work quite well, but they blow out constantly....around six months of usage. The 1000W actually only draws a little over 200 watts. The optimal coverage area with these is 2x3...

    Male growing like a female? Day 37

    Exactly. You are just going to piss local growers off by saturating their grows with pollen. I've had my girls pollinated by plants almost a mile away. If you want to keep it, take it inside and isolate it. It's only good for trying to produce seeds.

    King plus 2000 led

    I have bought every single model that King makes. I can tell you that they are cheap for a reason. They burn out after about 6 months. It's basically like throwing money away if you are a hobby grower. Poor customer service as well, since these dudes are located in Shenzhen, China. The...

    Some advice please guys

    I've had to do this as well. All should be well, but as the other member noted, pests might be introduced inside your indoor grow area. Make sure that you shake them well, and blow a fan on them to remove any unwanted visitors before bringing them back inside.

    Looking for reliable good quality seedbank

    I'll add my .02¢ I have had very good experience with Nirvana. They have a great in-house selection of regular, fem, and autofem seeds. They also ship worldwide from the Netherlands in free stealth packaging, accepting credit cards, bank transfer, or crypto. They are also on the more...

    I can't agree more. Although admittedly, I have been too much of a pussy to poke all the way down. lol

    Soil stopped absorbing water 2 weeks into flower

    Where I live the soil is naturally red clay. This is why I grow indoors. That clay is conducive to absolute failure.

    Soil stopped absorbing water 2 weeks into flower

    I think the answer to this one is simply alternate between fresh water, then nutrient water. I have never had a problem with buildup this way. It's comparable to mini flushes all the way through.

    Best stealth shipping that actually gets through to countries where weed is still illegal

    Also, unless we live in the Phillipines, we can't answer that question. How would we know what Customs is like there?

    Soil stopped absorbing water 2 weeks into flower

    Also, aerating the top soil will break roots, but it's not a terrible thing. They grow back very quickly. Just don't aerate close to the base of the plant. You can't baby these things.

    Soil stopped absorbing water 2 weeks into flower

    I wanted to answer this, as I find it to be the most overlooked problem for new growers as well as highly technical experienced ones. The problem is simply compaction of soil. Over time, the many waterings you have given your ladies will inevitably force the soil into a hard mass. It's so...
