I am finishing up my second grow in a Rainforest 66, and I have never shut off my vortex sprayer. I would suggest going to Wal-Mart and picking up a dual air pump and 2 airstones in the aquarium section. Run the tubing from the air pump through the little whole at the top (where the brown...

Hmmm. I am trying to picture all of this in my head. I am assuming your shower stall has an opening at the top? I can't believe it is so hot in the tent with a 250w light. Is the ballast a digital one? I have a DR120 with an air-cooled 600w light (remote ballast) with one ~250cfm can...

Okay. Here are my girls. There are 4 of them in a rainforest 66. They arent much, but I love them just the same.

Man, this thread is awesome. I live in North Dallas and wouldn't mind hooking up with some people out here. I am apparently the only person out here that pretty much doesn't know anyone locally. I moved here from Longview, and that is pretty much the only place I have friends. It's sad...

Would a rainforest be good for a perpetual harvest...hmmm. Personally I wouldn't do it. On my next grow (after the one I am currently on) I am going to be using the rainforest for mothers, and I will start cutting clones for the first time. Then I will be going to a bucket system for the...

I stopped posting on the thread mostly because I suck. Also...my girls kept having problems and I was getting rather frustrated. I did finish these through to harvest, though. Buds were airy, but smoke was only alright. Definately better than the bagseed I got the seeds from, but not really...

Added 4mL each of floramicro hard water, floragrow, florabloom, Canna Boost and 8mL PH Up to one gallon water to top off reservoir. I keep lowering the plants, but they just keep getting taller. The reservoir is 9" above the ground and the largest plant is about 35" tall. That makes it...

I dont have pictures or stats on this update because life has been busy lately. I just wanted to announce that it looks like all 6 plants are showing a definitive sex. The results are....3 female, 3 male. The largest, healthiest plant (plant 4) is a female which is awesome. Also, the two...

I recently purchased the 600w digital greenhouse with an aircooled hood and a second bulb. I am going back there first for any future needs. Very well packed with extra care for the glass on the hood and the bulbs, and it arrived fairly quickly. The ballast performs above expectations, and...

Today is the first day of flowering, and I swapped to a Sunmaster HPS 600w bulb. The entire inside of the tent is like looking at the sun, and when I step back out my eyes see nothing but blue which was interesting. It seems like this bulb is a bit hotter than the MH so I am about to lower the...

That cheat sheet is makes sense now that I see it written out like that. Unfortunately my EC was stable and the PH was dropping. I suppose that could mean they need less nutes, but it has already been less than half strength nutes (from my last update on nute additions) for days and days. I...

It has been a while since my last update. I should be back tomorrow to take some picture and get some stats for an update, but my girl did give me a progress report. So...it seems some of the plants are doing a bit worse while others seemed to have gone through a growth spurt. The average...

Yeah I need to get a thermometer for my reservoir next time I head to my supply house. Well, I am off to Florida for 7 days, and I have to leave my babies in the care of my girl. I pray they are still alive when I get back...

You can probably wait a few days before you give them nutes. When you do put in nutes I would start out with a mild amount and then work your way up from there.

This morning I drained half of the reservoir and replaced it with ph balanced water only. This should be about half of the nutrients that were in there yesterday. I also lowered the rainforest which puts the light about 22" from the plant tops. DAY 18 VEG - 6.21.08 ================ Ambient...

Good point and idea on the manure thing. I think it also partially depends on what is fed to the stock. In any case, though, the tea thing sounds like a good way to go.

If you want to make your own CO2 you can get a water bottle with some water in it. Then add equal amounts of yeast and sugar. The yeast will metabolize the sugars and produce CO2 as a byproduct. If the bottle stops bubbling give it a good shake and it should start again. If it completely...

I know that there are online guides and book on doing a grow with minimal funding. Have you looked at anything like that? You can get your N from barnyard animal and poultry manure so no need to shit and piss on your plants. If you have animal bones laying around you can powder them into meal...

I can definitely relate to the heat issues with summer coming along. I just recently had to purchase a "portable" ac unit as my temps in my grow tent were averaging 90-96 F. Now it stays a steady 77.5 - 79.5 in the tent. What I am confused about with your problem is why the damage is mostly...

I am not too familiar with root riots. Are they similar to rapid rooters? I personally love the paper towel method. I now mix up several drops of rhizotonic root stimulant with the water that wets the paper towels. I am on my first grow at the moment, and when I was germinating my seeds I...
