    There Seems To Be A Conspiracy Against My Success

    This year I did everything I could to get my plants ready and to have them set up on time and to be huge. However, even though they are huge now at almost 8 feet high and 6 feet across it seems everyone is out to get them. First it was the glaring street light they put in nearby, that compelled...

    Harvest With Small Amount Of Pm, Can I Salvage It?

    I usually use dry ice and bubble bags to pull kief and then dissolve the kief in Everclear and filter it resulting in a sort of RSO material. Does the presence of PM make my harvest of no use? Or, does the ethenol kill the mildew rendering it harmless? I know as flower it wouldn't be so good...

    How Much Do You Reduce The Everclear In Your Tincture?

    I made some tincture using 120 mesh kief and it burns a bit under the tongue. How much should I let flash off before I use it? It seems too strong from an everclear standpoint. Also, has anyone ever had tincture give them a headache the next day? I have used this hash for smoking and to make...

    Leds: Cobs And Quantums, Diversity Of Angle And Penetration

    I have been on a soapbox about the myth that LEDs don't have good penetration but I had a problem with my COB fixture and had to back up the flower room with two quantum arays while repairs were completed. I learned something during this process that valadates what I have been saying. A COB...

    Co2 Help Large Room (1,000 Sq Ft, 15,000 Cu Ft)

    I have 2 CO2 lines coming to the room but I have little experience with a room this size. Questions: 1. Most CO2 tank and gas suppliers spec stuff in pounds of CO2 and flow rates are usually discussed in cu ft. I am unsure how much CO2 per day a room this size will require and what tank size I...

    Dry Ice Sift Processing Question

    Hello all, I used to use a lot of RSO but found dry ice sift to be a lot faster, easier and safer. In the past I found Everclear extraction to be too dirty and pulls too much other stuff that has to be processed out but I know I could do cold quick washes but the yield is not so efficient. So...

    I like to keep an eye out for ways to save money in a grow cause I know a lot of us don't have the funds for a $1500 light fixture. So, here is an idea that doesn't involve some crazy home light from the big box stores that wont really work but a serious lighting setup. Amazon is selling a 4...

    Recirculating Hydro: Water Temps And Thermodynamics ???

    So often I see people say my room temps are 78-80 during lights on and my water is 68F. Wow, without a chiller? How? Anyway, in my UC system as well as my NFT strawberry patch I see super efficient exchange of energy between the room and water. In other words the water goes into the warm room...

    Deficiency I Can't Seem To Identify

    I have looked a lot at these leaves under a microscope so i don't see bugs. I have searched and reviewed the deficiency charts as well but IDK. Only 1 plant is showing this and she is the biggest, fastest growing one so that is why I assume it is a deficiency as she is huge and putting on weight...

    Hey farmers, I only do one soil grow and it is my outdoor attempt each year. I always get the girls to finish but I would like to do better. I am a hydro grower (undercurrent) and always look at soil as more complicated and harder to manage (at least for this grower). I can have 10 mature...
