hey fellas, i planted a a seed about 3 months ago. around just late of summer and its not very high at all lots of leaves but very short with these white hairs coming out of the top. not many tho its outdoor and its hella cold outside so i cut a 2L coke bottle in half an popped it over the plant at night water every 2-3 days. Anyways the real question is i wanna start growing hydro. Dont smoke alot just would like a cheap hps kit. It needs to be from seed all the way to harvest. maybe just 1 or 2 plants. And i dont have mad money for a huge kit ethier. What do you reckon? i heard a 200watt HPS system would be okay? wont be using hydro nutes or anything like that ju…

Hey all and thank you again for all your help previously. I once set up my garden shed for growing before but in this time I was much younger and got some free roof/insulation bats so I set my shed up with these on all walls and covered them with that white reflective plastic. Why I say I was much younger then is that I was full of energy and now I am looking for a much easier way without spending a fortune. Does anyone know the best way to insulate their sheds? I want to grow again and I can still get these bats for free but I tried going to Clark Rubber to get some foam but it was really expensive for the amount I needed, I was looking at close to $300 or more just…

Hey guys, Well, I have an EC meter but I'm not quite sure how to use it. Calibrated it like the guy said and wouldn't you know, it seems to me that my plants don't take in any nutes. I threw in about 1/4 strength for the guys in flower and 1/8 for the mothers and veggers, however to this day the EC reading has only increased, and it's been about two months. I have to add more RO water every day just to keep the meter from jumping .10ms and I shoot for a reading of 1.0ms for the flowering guys and .5ms for the veg. Before this (I guess I was over nuting) I was changing the water every two weeks and using nutes at twice the strength since I couldn't see that the plant…

I cut my bud nutes too far back, in response to curling leaves. The leaves didn't uncurl so I assumed the nutes were still too high. 5 weeks into flowering and I have tiny buds. I've had an experienced grower come and see my plants and diagnosed them as being under fed. I only have 3 weeks left till harvest; does anyone know if I can prolong my flowering time by leaving the lights on? If so, for how long? I'd like ot buy some extra time to bulk them up again. om

What is your local tap water PPM? I have a bluelabs truncheon and the lowest it measures it 140ppm on the .700 scale. Should I do all my measurements on the .500 or .700 scale? What is the difference? I think my water is around 90-140ppm because if I add abit of salt or something to it, then it registers but normally it doesn't register because I think it is lower than the metre can read (140ppm) Anyone know about this? What is your local tap water and general area?
