    Anyone veg with HPS ?????

    I don't bother with cfl's. I keep my plants under HID for their entire life - just start them off to the side, and not directly under lights to start. If you are worried about the extra power consumption, go with cfl's - but otherwise go with more light. I've found that generally more light is...

    Anyone veg with HPS ?????

    I veg with 2 x 400w HPS. They are the only bulbs that fit in my air cooled reflectors. I have vegged with both MH and HPS, and I honestly don't notice much of a difference.

    The "turning cheap nutes into killer weed" experiment

    Cool, thanks again. I'm going to try mixing some eggshells into the soil, and then add epsom during watering. Cheers

    The "turning cheap nutes into killer weed" experiment

    I just realized there is another sub forum for grow journals. I think I will start a new thread in there with some pictures soon. Then I can live in infamy when people do a google search for "weed+miracle+grow". First this, then world domination.

    The "turning cheap nutes into killer weed" experiment

    Right on, thanks a lot pointswest. Do you just use epsom salts, or do you use a calcium supplement as well? The nutes I'm using are from a company called Plant Prod. The 15-30-15 and 10-52-10 break down the same (except for the P): Total Nitrogen (N) 10% Available Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) 52%...

    The "turning cheap nutes into killer weed" experiment

    I have surfed around rollitup and other boards looking for information on growing with miracle grow and other cheap ferts. I really haven't found much info, and was disappointed with what I did find. My goal is really just to grow some good weed on the cheap. I am getting tired of paying huge...

    Sucanat, Soo-ka-nat

    This is an awesome thread. It answered a lot of questions I had. Thanks to the OP and everyone's input. I'm planning on doing a soil grow next, with some cheap nutes 10-52-10 and sucanat. I might add some calmax or vitaboost, but I really want to keep it on the cheap, it is sort of the point. I...

    PPM Ranges, from seed/clone to harvest?

    clones and seedlings - 0ppm - 200ppm vegetative growth - 800 ppm flowering - 1200 ppm basically what I use. Seems to work for me.

    TDS problem with label instructions..?

    Cool. Thanks a lot guys. I have been adding epsom salts to my nutes during the growth stage, and I haven't had any nute lockout problems. I am going to start flowering in a few weeks, after my clones are rooted. We'll see how it goes. Do R/O machines have to be plugged in, or do they just work...

    TDS problem with label instructions..?

    I have started to use Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow and Bloom. The label has recommendations for TDS numbers (ie. how many ml per liter to use). I mixed my nutrients using their suggestions for 800 ppm (grow), but my solution came up WAY short. My water was about 400 ppm to start out of the tap...

    what KC BRAIN SEED STRAIN?

    I ordered a bunch of different KC Brains seeds, because they are cheap, and so am I! I have ordered and grown Bahia Black Head, Northern Lights, Haze Special, Sweet Dreams, and KC36. They pretty much all sucked, with the exception of the BBH and KC36. The BBH and KC36 produced some nice moms...

    My First Hydro Grow in a While...

    I am setting up my room this summer with an air cooled reflector. I am going to switch from sunshine mix to hydro as well. I am going to go with a bubbler system, with individual plants in 5 gallon buckets, so that I can control nutes separately. I will be using Advanced Sensi, with Big Bud, and...

    Final Phase -Advanced Nutrients.

    Funny you should mention this. I always thought flushing with water was fine, but I tried Advanced final phase, and I think it rocks. I only run it for 5-6 days after everything looks good, and bam, no gnarly aftertaste. I have been running a full Advanced program, sensi, with bud blood and...

    Growing without airstones..?

    I ran out of airstones one night, so I left a 5 gallon bucket bubbling with no stone. It never seemed to affect the plant, so even when I got new stones, I left it "straight toobin". It has been over a week, and the plant is looking as good as ever. Better maybe? Am I wasting my money on airstones?

    might as well say hello :)

    "Sorry I write a lot haha" I am never one to give advice, but never apologize for writing. I thought that was a very clever post, and was well written. You have nothing at all to be "sorry" for. I'm into psychedelic "drugs" as well. I'm mostly into stuff that occurs naturally. I would really...

    new guy

    Right on, I love the vintage VW's. My buddy used to have a wicked late 60's "surf bus". Awesome. There was something very cool about shifting gears in a van, maintaining the "box", and never, ever going over 25 km per hour...ha ha.

    howdy dudes

    What's up? I'm pretty new here as well. I've only been in the game about 6 years, as I have never been able to grow consistently without having to shut it down for some reason. Until now... Hope you can hook me up with lots of advice, as I still have plenty of room for improvement. I'm in...

    TDS (EC) Levels for HARD water?

    Thats what I figured. Thanks. Do you think I should add epsom salts to my res to avoid Mg lockout?
