    MMJ friendly housekeeping?

    Chronic pain doesn't lend itself well to keeping up on housework and now allergies and asthma are acting up. Does anyone know a reliable housekeeping service in Abq or RR that is MMJ friendly? Thanks, Art

    DWC and SCROG

    Clear head, very relaxing, and good pain relief. Great for doing chores or tinkering around the house. Seems like I hijacked your thread Tron, sorry about that.

    First year hydro cabinet evolution. . .

    Dry update: Final dry yield ended up just over 4oz. I kept the LED pretty close (4" or less) to the canopy on this grow. Reading through a bunch of threads about LEDs needing distance from the plant to blend the wavelengths, I've pulled back to 6"+ on my current grow. It's a different...

    My Third SCROG -- Questions

    More plants will help fill the screen faster but some of us are limited to four plants in flower. My last grow in a 2.5sqft cabinet with a 120W LED yielded just over 4oz (dry). This was two plants in the same bucket. Really a hassle since one grew faster than the other even though they were...

    so... do we need to avoid the wole state or just deming?

    Deming, come for the food, stay for the rape. Disturbing to say the least.

    You don't say

    Talking to a dispensary in Abq, they said the state won't license anymore producers because there are lots of card holders with grow permits. Most of the these grow permits are not being used but the state adds them to the total possible amount being grown. It's stupid. Buying from a...

    LED Companies w/ LINKS

    As a poor newb, I picked up a couple of FuseLED UFOs last year and they are working great. One of the sales reps said they use 6 or 7 (can't remember) different spectrums. The 90w UFO is $90 and the 300w is $290. It wouldn't surprise me if these were re-branded from another source, all these...

    DWC and SCROG

    Thanks y'all. I harvested a couple days ago. Pulled a trimmed wet pound. This was two weeks after doing a partial harvest (qp wet, zip dry) of the tops that were ready early. I'm shocked to have ~4 oz of flower from such a small space and 120w LED.

    Custom Cabinet Grow Box

    Nice cab! I just finished a bubba kush that stayed short, at least in SCRoG. My new grow is a blue dream that exploded. Try to stick with indica, like keif said. Keep up the good work.

    Cab Grow 2x2x4 LxWxH

    In growing in less than 2'x2' but a bit more height. LEDs work great, not much worry about heat. SCRoG will definitely be your friend. Check out my sig for a few ideas. I'll probably end up with a qp from my recent harvest.

    PH is going down...

    After a few weeks of pH swings I harvest last night. Here a couple pics to keep your spirits up. You'll make it to harvest just fine. :weed:

    First year hydro cabinet evolution. . .

    Harvest follow up. Here are a couple pre harvest pics: Pre and post trim: Hanging to dry: A couple weeks ago the tops weighed 4oz wet and finished to 1oz dry. The wet weight on the final harvest trimmed buds is 1 pound. If the dry works out to 4:1 again I'll end up with 5oz total...

    Hydroponics w/LED lights

    My first grow went hermie. I'm thinking light leaks were the culprit but many folks say any stress can cause it with certain strains. If you see bananas early in the grow clip them out so they don't pollinate the flowers. I ended up with a few seeds on the hermies roommate. Bummer.

    PH is going down...

    Your buds are looking good. Waiting is really hard. The tops of my current grow finished a couple weeks ago and I'm pulling the rest this week. Getting the cure right can be tricky especially with RH so high. Not a problem here in the desert, this winter we'll be in the single digits. You...

    PH is going down...

    I have the same issue (5.8 to 4.8 or less in a couple days) as I'm learning about balancing nutes. Getting the perfect balance and keeping levels high without burn for each strain can be tricky. Someone (sorry, I forgot who) in another thread said that during flower the plant is using lots of...

    DWC and SCROG

    Here is a better look at my SCRoG setup and how I get in to look at the roots. The aluminum bar for the ring works better than PVC. The camera flash made the roots more brown than they really are. Nice and white with no signs of slime. The Aquashield has worked really well. I've never taken...

    2 1/2 Gallon Buckets for DWC? How small can you actually get?

    I ran a few tests using pint paint cans (new of course) to get clones started with good results. I agree with other folks about needing extra time to manage pH swings especially during flower. An external res should help. 2.5s will definitely work but plan on babysitting more than with 5...

    DWC cloning

    I setup up a bucket like this and have 100% success so far with plain bottled water. Stupid simple to get roots in a week. Rock wool worked for me too. Maybe it helped to use a sterile razor blade to cut a sharp angle on the stem and to scrape off a bit of the epidermis.

    DWC and SCROG

    I'm still sort of new to the whole growing thing but this is the SCRoG DWC setup I'm at after 4 grows. The screen is 45cm in diameter. This screen frame (version 2) is made from bent PVC but version 3 is made from aluminum rod, easier to bend. The screen is picture frame wire threaded...

    Blue Dream growth habit?

    No love for Blue Dream? No worries. In a month or so I'll post a med report. The 50/50 Blueberry/Haze certainly sounds appealing but this seed seems to be pushing the Haze side. As a freebie from Attitude I don't have more to pop.
