Last time i used a CO2-Bag in my small-scale system. Don't know if this helped in any way or too, because i had another strain and conditions. But ~20€ (reduced price) for a 100 gramm (~3.5 oz) made me doing some research. I suppose it's mostly a baking agent (Baker's salt, ABC-Backtriebmittel...

I have good expiriences with spraying a bit of a neem oil solution on the surface of the soil (indoor) once a week / every two weeks. In combination with yellow traps, i keep the 'gnats population on a very, very low level. I also use the neem oil in veg' stage as a prophylaxis against other...

In my humble experience (hps -> led), i got little less of mass with a little more of class.

Hi Sara, I know only a bit about legal stuff concerning consumer protections and that is more about EU/my country. First, if these customers aren't mr+mrs president of us', a single wrong shipment/payment/contract problem will not shut your (or any) company down. Are there any proofs for their...

Nice work! Did you switched on/off the light manually the last weeks, like you did before? I found that really hardcore.

ah.. one thing about pests, that helped me: yellow traps (or blue too..). yellow and sticky, thats it. i'm sure, there are lots of diy low budget videos. they can trap individuals, who dared to intrude, and in harder times keep the population low. and it's interesting to watch, what is flying...

As one who learned through (many) mistakes, it looks you've a green thumb. Concerned the brown pistils: they are an indicator. without experience (about this strain) or tools, it's hard to make a 'true' statement. .. so watching the trichomes is the best way. for a better look, have you...

.. is it common to post full sized pics in a post? i for myself prefer linked thumbnails. especialy when peolpe reply with "full quote".

hi folks! today i had one of these moments, when you're saying "oh yeah.." and feeling an overwhelming moment of happiness. i had last times really annoying issues with irrigation (timing, pH shift, degree of fertilisation,.. ) and too warm days. a complete change gave me as result the...

hoi Ojos Rojos and zombiewoof, perhaps another way to go: powerfull 5W radiotors for the last part of the life time from the plants, and the 3W ones for the younger ones or for the sides (up to an angle of 80 degrees). a 400w mars2 and 2 reflectors seems fine and very versatile for a...

hey lobosolo and unilukkari, it's a bit more behind your assumptions. i suggest you might read good writing faqs/how to's, like here on the forum: The Basics Of Plant Lighting im sure, after reading it, if you've still questions, you will be able to pose it a more accurate. for a a short...

What are your temperatures while using hydro? I mean the reservoir/nutes-solution. I, for myself, wasn't and will not be able to keep them around 20°C (or even under 28°C....). So i've learned, that hydro - or even worse aero- isn't a good solution for my personal case/place.

I replaced the build-in Reflector fans with standard 120mm PC-fans ("ultra-low-noise" stuff) - didn't make any remarkable difference, the quality used is fine. It's a typical problem: effiency vs loudness. (Made some posts many pages before about this+replacement). My closed cabinet is in my...
