The Mrs. & I were sitting in the sunroom having some coffee the other morning and she tells me it's time to replace the table (my junk drawer LOL). I ask her what she would want to replace it with and she says her own garden. Well now she has my interest! After some discussion about goals for...

Start the year off safely jj

All my flowers drink from a cattle trough. It's been about 15 years since I've done a grow diary here so I figured it was time to update things. Like a lot of my fellow growers here I'm getting old and my health isn't good. Ruptured disk etc. found myself getting way fat and taking a handful...

Made the day trip to my closest grow supply store to buy some hydroton and another light. Only had 1 50L bag and I was hoping for 4. Owner had a 4 x 4 flood tray he had just taken the plants out of. He said make me an offer on those dirty rocks... Now, these aren't just dirty. Try a year...

Like many of my fellow farmers that's been in the hobby for some time we acquire lots of pieces and parts building our systems. I've grown hydroponically since 2007 (pics in profile here) and not all of that time was with THC. During the holidays we were visiting family and I was asked: Do you...

Purchased my first LED veg light and it's been frustrating to say the least. I've managed to kill enough plants in a short period of time to make me re-think this whole LED thing. I had no idea just how powerful these things have become. Turned the dial down to 25% or so and keeping plants...

My system is vertically challenged, with the target zone for cola's just 24 inches above the growing medium. I germinate every 28 days in the veg chamber and flower out in 3 flower chambers. All flower systems are identical. Been growing with this method since '07. System: flood/drain...

Time for some new carbon for the tents and I had wanted to order a new FootHill Filter to match my old one and get some replacement carbon for the old one at the same time. Emailed back and forth with FootHill and when it was time to order they dropped the ball in replying. Did some shopping...

One of the most frustrating things that happens to me during a grow is to see those buds get so heavy they fall over towards the end of a grow. Bird netting, plant stakes and such are an option but for my style of growing neither has worked as well as I had hoped. I did something similar...

OK, I've searched the old threads and still not found the source I am looking for. My filters have over a year of use and they just are not keeping up with the smells my tent is producing so it's time to either change the carbon or buy a new filter. Other than Ebay do any of you guys have a...

Great Job on the thread search feature Logic & moderators. This is my first thread since the new feature was implemented. Light meters are not the best tool to measure what our plants need but its the tool we have available to us on the market today so it's what I use. I ran a perputual 2K...

Was just about to click the "buy" button on a hydro website for some parts to a new system I am building and I thought before I do maybe it would be a good idea to ask my fellow Farmers if the design is even going to work. This is a 4 plant hydro system based on the designs of hereish (H-man)...

Just wanted to give you fellow farmers a bit of a heads up on a bulb problem I am currently having. I run 2k in flower one bulb being HPS and the other is a dual arc bulb HPS/MH bulb from Hilux: Came home this morning to find that the dual arc had blown again overnight. This is the...

A buddy of mine found this online and was asking if there is any truth to it. I had never heard of it so figured some of you more experienced breeders and growers might have. It's probably just another one of those internet myths but figured it was worth asking about. Appreciate your...

was wondering what the fellow Farmers thought about nitrogen in flower? I use Technaflora nutes, thier BC line. Not bashing the nutes but just trying to tweak the system a bit. The reason I even had this thought was because of a pepper plant I am growing, go ahead and laugh, yes a bell...

There is a show being broadcast on National Geographic tonight at 9pm intitled "Marijuana Nation". I caught bits and pieces of it the other night when it was first broadcast and what parts I did see were very interesting and informative. If your in the US try and catch it on re-run. I...

Julian Calendar I was curious if any growers out there use this system to track their grows. The Julian calendar is basically a consecutive 365 day calendar, there are no months or weeks just consecutive days in a year. In the commercial agricultural industry this system is widely used...

A popular style of flood table is the 2x2, I have 3 all from Botanicare. Ms. jj has one upstairs for an herb garden and I keep 2 for my veg system, I've even seen some of these trays in other grow systems here on the Farm so I am sure I am not the only person that has ever been faced with this...

I've been watching doubleds grow and reading what ProGrow is designing and it got me to thinking, am I wasteing light? Figure if I can sit and smoke a bowl with the lights in my eyes then there is light not hitting a plant. Question was is how the heck to make use of that light with the system...

Ms. jj watched me build and grow in my garden for a good time until she said she wanted a garden, well hell now I gotta stop and take care of the Ms's:thinking. I had to find her something that was user friendly and compatable with my systems just incase her motivation drifted and I was stuck...
