I was over at a mates place a few months ago, and he was showing me his nice grow shed. He had some really large gas type bottles bottles, that I think he said contained co2 or somethinf like that. What was he going on about, and how do they make the plants grow better. He's packed up now and moved north so I can't ask him.

Starting a new grow and i will be mixing some coco-peat with fine pearlite in 60/40 ratio. I will flush until water is clear and finish with PH adjusted water. Test PH and EC. The coco-peat is in brick form richgro brand. I plan to use GT or DM coco nutes on the 2 darlings and will be hand watering. Veg will be done under 400W MH and flowered under a HPS. 1) Should I sterilize the mix before transplanting my seedlings in there and how can i do this? 2) Can i start the seeds in a comercial seed raising soil or should i start them in the coco/pearlite mix with some 1/2 strength nutes thrown in? Keep in mind I will be transplanting into the coco/pearlite mix before goi…

Hey everyone. My twin Bubblegum sprouts are getting pretty tall and growing more leaves. I'd say they're maybe 12 days old at this point. They still seem to fit just fine in their sprouting cups and the rockwool cubes they've been growing in have worked out thus far. I've got 2 General Hydro Waterfarms (basic bubble buckets w/drip rings) ready to go under a 400w HPS light in my closet. I was thinking I'd move them over this weekend, keeping the existing roots surrounded with the rockwool and planting them in the clay pebbles I've got in the buckets. From there, I'd use the nutrients I got with said buckets according to the grow chart. I figured I'd have the light on for a…

Sept 9 2 NL x Haze at the back, 2 Bubbleberry at the front, Skunk#1 in the middle, Day 8 veg Vegged about a month and watched them limp along with a little overwatering troubles, Oct 6 just after switching to 12/12 Just over 2 weeks into flower, today Oct 26 howdy troops Got a grow diary happening in the 420 Crew Forum, but wanted to show it for discussion for anyone thinking of DWC, especially now as summer is here, well it feels like it, this last fortnight in Qld. This was supposed to be a recirculating perlite grow, but I lightproofed the res too well and ended up with the roots invading it. Added another 60 litre tub via 13mm hose and so far have had no problems …

I have 2 strains going at one time, and one is done, the other needs several weeks. (I cant believe how different they were, see grow diary for pics). But im thinking of not flushing the one strain that is done due to the fact that its gonna be really hard for me to do a flush of half, and give the others the nutes they need at a vital time that they need it! So is this a bad idea, does it make the bud all chemically? i mean that bud grows up on the chems, how much could a 3 day flush before harvest do. Any opinions are appreciated.

My reservoir is made from a 120 litre plastic drum from which a submersible pond pump connected to a digital timer runs the nutrient mix around the grow room to feed the 4 litre per hour drippers, I use one dripper per plant. The plants are in self watering pots and and the timing of the watering system is set to keep the reservoirs of the pots topped up without overflowing them too much. I use a twin outlet air pump running 2 air stones to keep the water well aerated and the nutrients nicely mixed. The only occasions I have for dumping the reservoir are if there is something drastically wrong with the nutrient mix, when it's time to switch to flowering or at flush time…

how ya goin guys just needed to ask whether using DM-gold A-B and Advanced nutrient -revive would be good idea to use in the same tank towards the end of the flowering, the ultimate goal being added greenness and and the ability to regrow. the added nitrogen, calcium and iron wouldn't be to much extra with the DM-GOLD A-B would it? am i on the right track with this ? thanks guys.
