Fuck i swear, all you guys who use cyco must have a different batch to what ive got. Or made by someone else. I cant remember if i ever mentioned it here but When i first started using cyco i had dramas and had to hassle and threat and carry on to all and sundry to get it replaced, after it took3weeks for anyone to even answer me. Anyway, mixing up a new res this morning, i look in a bottle that hasnt been opened more than 2 weeks... fucking mould floating on the surface. Ive had a gutful of this, nothing but trouble since day1. Im chucking the fucking lot of it!

Hey guys, I have successfully established my 3 pot, 6 plant top feed hydro set up. Originally running just a 400w digital, I have now added a 600w and in a larger room. (Had space problems originally) I have a 50L nute tank, and have been using all the Canna products. Zyme/Rhizo/PK 13-14/Boost Including AB Flores and Vega. Im also using Budlink (Liquid silica), and some Bud Blood. The first time I used Boost, I could not tell if it worked properly, because my girls ran out of room and could not flower properly. However, The smell and flavor was unwatched to anything I have had before. At $195 a bottle I'm at the stage where I can add it again, But before I make su…

I've been foliar feeding to counter what I think is nutrient imbalance in my soil, or maybe bad nutrient movement due to temps/PH. I guess some of the lack of discussion is because of the high percentage of people using 'perfect' nute solution on inherently sterile media. Anyway, I was reading this general doco on FF and thought it may interest some, http://foliarfert.com/pages/introduction.htm. Would one reason for avoiding this be fear of 'contamination' of foliage?

After only using perlite, I have recently acquired some bags of Hydroton, Coco & peat but have no experience with these mediums, what is a good mix? I was also looking at using DIATOMITE in a mix due to the silica it will provide to the root mass. So let me know what to mix for my next grow........ Thanks in advance, Canaman

Hi All, I've just started trying EXPLODE which was given to me as a sample (trial) product on the market. I am really interested in some feedback from those who have tried this already. I have seen some differences in the plants from the start of bloom, and was wondering if anyone else is seeing any change with their plants too. Thanks for the replies.

http://maximumyield.com/article_sh_db.php?...featureVar=true Differences Between Organic and Inorganic Plant Growing Systems by Dr. Carole Ann Rollins and Dr. Elaine Ingham 2009-07-01 There are some significant differences between an organic or biological system and the inorganic approach. Although the goal in both systems is the same - to grow healthy plants in the most cost effective way, the philosophical underpinnings of the two systems are very different. First, the biological system requires adequate microbial food in the soil, with replenishment by plant exudates in their myriad forms. Food comes in the form of nutrients such as sugar (bacterial food), proteins…

Hi Im trying to develop a gel that i can use as the soil,I was thinking of getting pectin,mixing it with nutreints and soil turning it into some soil jello jam and then cutting them up in small chucks,i figured that water would drain better and plenty of air would get to the roots. any thoughts or advice on this matter? or has anyone tried something similar?

though I appreciate that better results happen with more 'exotic' media (coco, nute solutions, aerogardens, whatever) I'm 'easing into' the indoor thing, I'd like to 1st use pots full of 'soil' thank you. I have a few cuttings in 'the small cupboard' growing in a pot of what is essentially a mix of dirt and potting mix. I'm going to have to repot soon 'coz the little ladies are powering along quite nicely. I'm also thinking of dedicating this space to 18/6. There's another space I can use for 12/12. I'm thinking that maybe 6 250*250 square pots pretty well fills my 550*850 base. The two lamps (CFL) would also then neatly sit center of the 4 pots (2 outer and 2 inner…

the other day someone said here that I never cop a break. I disagreed - at the time. Well, next on the never-ending-drama-that-is-my-grow/life my landlord/owner visited today and wants to sell the property. That wouldnt be so bad (in the grand scheme of things) but it gets worse - she wants to renovate beforehand - starting next wednesday. And I'm maybe 5weeks from harvest!!! Fuck me my friends, I thought I'd eventually get on top with this grow then this happens! Anyway the purpose of this... I know I'm guna have to pull em but i got about 5 days to get the best i can outa em(2days extra to flush and clean up). Anyone know something that will kick em in the nut…

I noticed on the heavy weight bottles they say for extreme flower growth mix at the rate of 10mls per litre or to 1400ppm in the 5th week of flower. It says expect some yellowing of leaves etc. But you dont use any other nutes while doing this. Anyone tried this and have some extreme growth?

Hi there, an earlier post prompted me to do some reading and am just curious about anyones/everyones experiences using DMSO. It is something that i haven't seen covered anywhere and cannot come up with much more than general use information no specifics from people stating results from actual grows and with comparisons with other things like DM penetrator and similar. I was wondering if it could be used for foliar feeding for the same purpose as DM's penetrator, and i have read that it is good to help cutting throw roots but would it be used on its own or in combination with rooting gells/powders to help the chemicals break the tissue barrier easier for quick shooting…
