What's the story with Molasses? I've seen a couple people post about it.

Been there. It's dogshit. That's how I almost killed my plants, even at 1/2 strength.

I just got a Lighthouse tent. All of the corner pieces are metal and snap into place. Maybe the one you had was an early model. Mine seems pretty stable. I have a large enclosed reflector and a heavy carbon filter and there isn't even any flex in the poles. I wonder if they had an initial...

Can someone help me out with some ideas for feeding during flowering? I use Fox Farm nutrients. Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom and a very little bit of Grow Big for some extra nitrogen. I've been inconsistent at best because I really don't know what I'm doing. I had a close call last time I gave...

City Water. It's pretty bad here. When they brought it out, they didn't even bother testing because they know that the water is super hard. Like I said previously, I have a water distribution panel that has a bypass for outside faucets. I'll just have to figure out how to get one of the...

Thank you. This is what I was looking for.

I'm in soil. I tested the pH right off the tap today and it was 7.5. That was water that had gone through the softener. I don't know if the softener has an effect on the pH or not. Either way, it can be treated I think at least from a pH perspective. I guess I'll have to just try it like...

I've done a little more looking around on this and everyone says no go with the water softener but doesn't really say why. Is it a pH issue? Or is there salt or other stuff in the water after it goes through a softener? Is there something I can add to the water to replace whatever it is that...

I'm only a few weeks into flowering and I can't smell my room standing right outside of it. Even during veg I had a pretty strong smell. I'm guessing it was just a plant smell that any kind of plant would've produced. I have an adequate carbon filter. I've been impressed with how well it...

Hello. My tap water is run through a water softener first. I thought I read somewhere that I shouldn't use this water because of all of the salt that the softener leaves in it? I used bottled water for a while which turned out to be a pain in the rear now that they are flowering. Then I used...

I got a few different answers about what I should've done after the wife issue. So I went with what seemed like the smart thing to do. Hindsight is 20/20. Lesson learned.

I've been worried about it turning hermie on me. That's why I've been reluctant to do anything because I didn't want to stress it out any more.

I've got a plant that has been flowering for like 2.5 weeks. That number is a little misleading because about a 1.5 weeks into flowering, my wife pinched off a lot of bud sites. I flipped it back to veg for a week but after talking with a friend and doing some research, I put it back into...

Great, thanks. I appreciate your advice.

I think the bloom nutes for Fox Farm are the same as the Hydroponic. The only one that they have that appears to be different is Grow Big. The Tiger bloom is 2-8-4 and the Big Bloom is .01-.3-.7. This is my first try at this so I'm open to other products. Is there something else you've had...

I had been using a small amount of grow big for the first few feedings. I read somewhere that they need more N then they get from most Bloom Nutes.

I did see that the N-P-K numbers were considerably different on the Big Bloom compared to the Tiger Bloom. Can I mix them together in water or would I want to alternate feedings with one or the other?

Can someone help me out and tell me how these nutrients are best used during flowering? I'm not overly sure which one to use or when for that matter. I looked at FF feeding schedule and I feel like I would be giving them too much if I were to follow it.

Maybe I'm the one screwing this up. The brand name on my timer is Intermatic. I see a lot of people recommending intermatics and I just assumed it was the kind I had. From the looks of things, I was misinterpreting the type of timer everyone was talking about.

It plugs into a regular three prong outlet. Haven't done any wiring.
