I think it’s been proven that plants don’t ‘need’ a dark period in veg. Lots of guys hammer 24/0. However, I do think problems, stress and mistakes are more likely when things are running that hard. I’m gonna give 6/2 a run. I don’t expect ‘better’ results over 18/6 but I do like the idea of...

As for timers, any old dusty analogue timer with the pieces you push/pull can do this....It's still a 24-hour cycle so nothing fancy is require.

I'm far from a pro so I was hoping someone who had used it would chime in. I would run 24/0 if I could but I'm battling some heat and res temps that I would like to bring down a bit. When I was switching to 18/6 i found this: Try This Highly Recommended Cannabis Lighting Schedule I don't...

I don't get your joke. Are those threads? I just searched those titles and none hit.

Homemade Ph Down Recipe: 1 Part Battery Acid (from any autoparts store) to 19 parts RO water. Add the acid to the water, not the other way around. Let sit for a few minutes and then put the lid on and gently shake to mix. You have a mild PH down. I would have bought regular ph down for...

Seedling Stage Strains: Strawberry Lemonade, Purple Punch, OG kush, MoneyMaker RO Water GH TRIO NUTES to 150 PPM Sulfuric Acid for PH down Seedlings are in repurposed single-use coffee pods with the bottoms cut out and jiffy starters inserted. I cannot wait to get them out of the peat and...

My last harvest lasted 6 years. I was giving it away like summer tomatoes and had plenty for years. I did a lot of research on shelf life during my last grow. I can say mine was good for about 4-5 years but potency has gone downhill fast recently. So, it's time to grow again. I don't like to...
