Has anyone used the Cyco line of nutrients? Results?

Sorenna, Have fun! There is no right or wrong way to grow. The garden becomes very personal and with experience you develop what works best for you and your garden.

Just realized that you had a second part to your question. I have settled on rooting my seeds in plugs and then putting them directly into their final pots. I do not like transplanting as it always seems to result in some root shock. Also, I use large drip trays with my fabric pots and bottom...

I wash my fabric pots at the local laundry mat as I have a bunch and my wife does not want me to use the home washer. I do not use any laundry detergent as there is always enough residue in the washers for the wash cycle. I simply select hot water wash and cold water rinse. I do turn my pots...

I have 21 very healthy plants approximately 3 to 3 1/2 foot tall and bushy like Christmas trees. I have had them in bloom stage for 2 weeks now. I have noticed that the large sun leaves are blocking out light from the lower branches on the plants. I have a grow room of 4 1/2 foot by 8 1/2 foot...

Re: Icemud goes LED: Featuring TOP GROW LED: Cherry Pie, GSC, OGiesel, SFV OG, UVH OG Hi Ice, Thanks for the info. Sara at Top Led has emailed me separately and you are right, she is great and has loads of particular info. The 192x3w relfector system is what she recommends as they cover a...

Re: Icemud goes LED: Featuring TOP GROW LED: Cherry Pie, GSC, OGiesel, SFV OG, UVH OG I have a grow room that is 4 foot wide, 10 foot long and 8 foot tall. Can you tell me how many of the reflector led lights like you show in your grow tent that it would take to adequately cover this area? Thanks
