    Mini dehumidifier

    So... anyone ever heard or used this thing? http://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-Renewable-EDV-300-Wireless-Dehumidifer/dp/B000H149J0 I bought one and am using it in a plastic bin with my buds. Basically, the humidity here is like a constant 80%, so nothing dries! It seems to be working pretty...

    Ripe? 8 Weeks - GDP, Grapefruit Diesel, Sour Diesel 400w organic

    I'm happy you clarified the "sick" term because i was baked when i read that and was like "shit, does he mean 'sweet' or does he mean 'ill'... so thanks for the edit. I'll be watercuring part of it, so i'll post some comparisons afterward!

    Ripe? 8 Weeks - GDP, Grapefruit Diesel, Sour Diesel 400w organic

    So... this is my first soil grow.... i was trying to go all organic, and i pretty much pulled it through, but there are a few things i'll do differently next time, such as using different soil. I used the Black Gold soil, but i think that my plants wanted more nutrients throughout the whole...

    Mini-Water Cure / Smoke Report

    Has anyone tried water curing for like one or 2 days, and then air curing for the remainder of the time? Maybe it'll speed up the process a bit, while still retaining some smell and flavor.... I'm really just guessing though of course. I'll try a bit of my next harvest to see where it takes...

    Bad Bulb? Bad Ballast??

    Hi everyone... So, I bought this sweet HPS setup from HTG... unfortunately, after about a month of using it, the damned thing turns off, and restarts itself - taking a good 4 minutes of darkness till it turns back on, only to turn off again in a little bit. Usually, the light will stay on...

    Minor Nute Burn? (with pics)

    Is this nute burn? or heat stress? or what?? I just changed the water so it has around 700 ppm of nutrient solution. Should I even be concerned with this burn stuff? or is it normal and fine. if you notice, there is some curling of the tips of the leaves, but not on all of them...

    2.5x2.5x5ft grow room 4 plants

    Update.... Took out the soil plant from the room. Now the entire box is dedicated to just one plant. She's lovely, a little wispy, meaning she's not very dense. I have dedicated the 150 watt light and 5 CFLs to the plant, so i feel like it should be getting enough light. but shit, we'll...

    First Hydro 150 Watt HPS 5 CFL

    only about 50 bucks... on ebay. it wasn't created specifically for growing, but because my grow room is so small, i didnt need too much power, along with the fact that I had those cfls, i feel like i should have enough light, but either way, i'm sure i'm goign to upgrade next grow and so on.

    First Hydro 150 Watt HPS 5 CFL

    All right. Well. This is my first time putting up a grow journal, so i better make it count. I'll start off with a nice story. I couldn't get clones from anyone after seriously trying for about 2 months, but thankfully a friend of mine had a few plants that were not being taken care of...

    White slime on my roots

    First time hydro grower here... I have a single 3 gallon bubble bucket growing a clone that I cut myself. Basically, I changed the water, and had this intense hot streak in weather. The temperature in the room got real hot. like 90º. I'm not sure what temp the water got to, but either way...

    How can I get smaller internode length

    yeah, i'm thinking about beefing up my grow cab with some more fluorescents... i'm thinking about putting tubes in the corners of the room in coordination with my 150 watt hps and my 5 CFLs hahha... i hope I have enough light for some tight buds, but we'll see! still waiting for some clones...

    How can I get smaller internode length

    hmmm great... sounds like I might make a stop at home depot for some blue spectrum CFLs to help in my garden. I have a 150 watt HPS coming real soon in the mail, and 5 2700k cfls all ready for some clones.... but let's make it 7 by tonight. thanks everyone.

    2.5x2.5x5ft grow room 4 plants

    I used aluminum tape to seal out the light... but then i realized that it would be easier to just use some visqueen around the bucket because it's light-proof. anyway, i'll be putting a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to keep rootrot and algae from forming... hopefully :neutral: hope to...

    2.5x2.5x5ft grow room 4 plants

    I definitely plan on throwing in another vent fan soon, but I'll see how it goes because it's a pretty cool environment (lows around 40º and highs in the 50ºs) so I'm kinda trying to build up a bit of heat anyway. So yeah. I'll keep whoever is interested updated to the max!
