    Cheaper alternatives than Bubble Bags

    i just bought 4 aquarium filter bags. all nice bags 16 x 32 inches in size. 200, 100, 50, and 25 micron. got all 4 for 30 dollars. Will be beating the trim this weekend (hopefully) with the drill and ice. looking forward to what i find between the 25 and 50 bag! :)

    patience finally paid off - back in again

    sorry peeps - no pics, kinda a rule around here ... tonight my wife and i just just had our first trimming session after shutting the grow down for 4 years. lots of reasons for shutting the lights off, but thats a different story. but about 6 months ago i was at the bottom of my last jar...

    cocogro in a drip system

    i dont know what state your plant is (veg, bloom), or the nutes you are using. but assuming you are in veg state, with a full strenght veg nute solution, i recommend 1 time per day, i drip for 10 minutes at a good flow. when i switch to flower i hit the pumps 2 times a day for 10 minutes each...

    What is a flowering clone?

    no expert here, but on the degeneration question ... racefan turned me onto this technique a long time ago. i kept the rolling cycle of nervana white widow, nervana afgani, a blueberry strain called mystery blue, and a sensi star strain going for a 4 year run with any issues across all those...

    White Widow - which breeder?

    i have grown nervana as well. gypsy's seeds made some awesome producers. I have some amsterdam marijuana seeds ww in flower right now. although i have not had a chance to smoke any yet, i think nervana's was a much stronger strain. good luck ... bog

    OK scrog is the way im goin

    scrog away folks - friggen scrog away! I am a junkie of that style myself. lady liberty is right remember the dead space that will be taken up by the pots, the lights, and dont forget ventilation. I think your space is too small, i like to have about 2 foot minimum for the plants themselves...

    Can you over nute your plants using a aerated drip system?

    "over nute" would be caused by the strenght of your nute system not the amounts you run through it. i am not familiar with the nutes you are using, but to really understand what you are doing you should use a tds pen, or ec meter to measure the strenght of the solution. i try to make sure i...

    Venting closet

    you are describing my exact setup. i live in florida, and would have the same issues with outside air. use your house for the passive air intake. i am running 2 400w mh air cooled hoods and am venting 96 cubic feet of grow room. i use 6inch exhaust duct from the box into the attic and have...

    Prepping your (hydro) grow for prolonged absence

    first - have a great time on vacation what i have always done was - add additional water to the reservoir (it will evaporate), and make sure the lights are off the plants good - or the plants are tied down if doing a lst. i would hate the idea of leaving the door open, my stuff is under...

    Question on the nutes faq

    great listing across product lines! in the general hydro section you list the suppliments. let's talk fluvik - specifically diamond nectar. i have used it for years, and heavily from cuttings through veg. you talk about 40ml once for each cycle - why? I have used it successfully...

    What Biological Controls are Available for Fungus Gnats?

    i had a real bad go of them in my last grow location. i tried the bacillus stuff, and gnatrol without success. the gnatrol made my resevoir smell like a toilet bowl! what i ended up doing was a total extermination and cleanup. between flowering runs, i tore down the whole grow box, and...

    Hydro RW drip system construct?

    agree with the folks here. home depot and walmart put my drip system together, and pretty cheap. I use straight home sprinkler system parts and pond style pumps. even use a rainbird timer for my pump systems. for reservoirs - plastic storage bins work just fine. good luck - bog

    12/12 from seed grows

    12/12 from seed - sounds interesting. i have always done the flowering clone trick like racefan described - but yes i need a veg chamber. i take my clones at day 21 of flower, and by the time i harvest - they are ready for the flower box. my cycle in the flower chamber is 45 - 60 days...
