i went to a website to order some more nutes and i came upon some faqs about my botanicure pro grow. turns out i am not suppose to use h2o2 in my res mix because it kills off some good microbs in the nutes. funny thing is since i increased the amount of h2o2 in the res mix (before i seen it was a no no) the plants have gotten greener. why is this ya'll.

Hello everyone. I have had a couple of cannabis culture magazines lying around for a while and found some very useful articles that I've never found anywhere else. Here is one of those articles that I have re-typed myself onto the computer. It is a two page spread and I've only typed up part 1 which is the first page. I will type up part 2 if I get good feedback on this one (the other one is about twice this size) This article is about temperature control (if you read it), the other one (part2) is all about moisture conductivity (EC level) It's quite in depth too. Let me know what you all think of it and if I should post part 2. Let me know if you learn an…

Hey Just today I was looking for something to use as a dropper to measure out 1-2 mills of seasol mixture, and I accidently came accross one of those little Soy Sauce Fish droppers for your sushi lying around in the kitchen, it's absolutely perfect! it fills up to about 2ml and you accurately measure out your nutes and stuff! approx 20 drops is about 1ml, takes the hassle out of measuring

When trying to work out the temp of a grow cabinet, do you take the temp from where the plants sit (under the light) or do you take the temp from the top of the grow cabinet? Seems like a stupid and ez question but i dunno the answer I assume you take the temp from where the plants sit but if thats the case i have some heat problems Cheers

Hey all, Me an my flatmate have decided to start our first grow.. after many years of smoking and dreaming of smoking our own fresh produce. We have a 2 foot outdoor grown female (which only now seems to be flowering) that we plan to clone off and a led grow light panel we bought a few months back. We only want a small setup (3-4 plants) and the plants to be as small and bushy as possible, since we move around alot. Any tips or advice for beginners?

Hey everyone I am just about to start my first DWC ScrOG Cabinet grow but before I start I want to try and sort out how to use all my additives and shit that I have bought. I want to try and germ my seeds by soaking them in a solution of GT Oxyplus. I have found numerous posts and info regarding the dosing for 3%, the old 35% and the supposed new 17.5% H2O2 concentration. I had assumed that my bottle would be the 17.5% but I just read the label and it says 50% H2O2!!!! I tried to take a photo but the print is quite small and my camera must be too old for the job! It says on the directions that 2mls per 10 litres should be added to the nutrient solution every 2-3 da…
