    How do steralize coco infested with pests

    I have spider mites and thripes from this rubbish after putting two tiny pots of it in my grow. Pissed as hell. How would i sterilize the rest of it. I was thinking h202 but apparently that doesn't do anything to the eggs. Maybe the oven? Edit: also what's a good cheap solution for the pests...

    rdwc questions

    I am planning on using tap water, I'll probably get an ro filter next time. Tap water ph is high 7 and about 0.4ppm (hanna) Is it safe practice to let it circulate in the system for that time then pH to 6? Canna recomends that i let it sit for an hour for the buffers to act before adjusting...

    Will a vaporizer be detected by customs

    I don't know about the legality of it here in New Zealand but customs still take them if they think it's gonna be for weed. A smoke shop here had their whole shipment of vaporite seized because the whips supposedly looked like meth pipes. The only ones available here are vaporites and vapour...

    I thought calyxes were supposed to be empty?

    I noticed on my last plants that i had these little premature seed looking things inside every calyx with 2 white pistils attached (they have the same shape as seeds). I looked for seeds every time i smoked the stuff and never found any. I haven't ripped apart any calyx before those plants so...

    Leaving the light off for 26 hours. Week 2 of flower

    I needed to change my times from 6am to 6pm to 8pm to 8am to control the heat as it is the middle of a very hot summer. Temps are fine on a cold day with the oscillating fan and the closet door open. I haven't got the money for a duct for my fans yet and the heat from the 400w is starting to...

    How do these clones look at 2 days. Pics

    I wanted to take some clones before i put my plant into flower. My brother took all the decent sized cuttings and i was left with small newish growth as i didn't want to take off any tops. Anyway one of them is leaning but it is firm, like it was leaning towards the light (they're under a 23w...

    How much dolomite lime should i apply.

    I couldn't afford the barkless soil with lime, worm castings and perlite at the time so i bought a $10 bag of outdoor tub mix discounted to $3 and added perlite. I don't have a soil pH tester but i do have pH test strips and the runoff is at 5 and the tap water is at 7 so clearly there are...

    Would this fan be powerful enough to vent a 400w HPS closet grow

    It's a 32w german blower fan made by ebmpapst with a 70% discount from the wholesale price of $50. $15 each and they have 100 of them. I need some fans before my plants go into flowering because i don't want to do outdoors again, it's too much work with guerrilla grows. They don't have the...

    Yellow leaves, and spots on the leaves. What is causing this.

    I have two plants with two different problems. One of the has 3 yellow lower leaves, and the other has brown spots on most leaves. I suspect it must be a pH problem as i've grown from clone with the same equipment and nutes before, but different soil and different house. It doesn't matter i'll...

    Has anyone ever heard of flowering part of a plant by giving a branch 12 hours light?

    I was reading a thread about someone covering up the lower growth at 12 hours so the rest of the plant remains in veg. Does this work? Just for future reference. Mine are already preflowering.
