    Kelp extracts during bloom

    I was talking with a fellow farmer and he said something that got my attention. He claimed, and I haven't checked, that Gravity is a seaweed extract. I use Algen as part of my nute lineup but only until week two of flower to avoid too much stretch. In fact I quit using Roots Excellurator because...

    Making oil from kief

    I know some guys that make a lot of oil. They told me that the first make hash, either bubble or keif, and then use BHO to extract the oil. Has anyone done this, heard of it, or thinks there's a reason to do it that way? The only think I can think of is that you could get more oil out of can...

    Dry Koolbloom

    I'm starting to re-appreciate Koolbloom. The most rocking crop I ever grew was filled out on nothing but liquid Koolbloom but I see that for the last week or so the dry type is supposed to be the stuff to use. Who has used it and how did you think it performed? I hate to say this but the...

    P&K Boosters

    I've used liquid Kool Bloom and H&G Shooting powder and got good to fantastic results. All either of them are is a PK rich fertilizer. I'm not good at the math it takes to figure out how much of one is equal to the other to see which of them (or Dutch Master Add 27 Bloom) is the most cost...

    Woody Kush

    Anyone grow this strain? I've got a couple in with some headband and some purps. The other two are growing some nice tight nugs of really good size. The woody kush looks good but the buds are fluffy. Do they fill out and get harder in the last couple weeks or are they generally a pretty...

    What does adding sugar do?

    I know some people add it as a flavoring agent and I know some people swear by molasses. Molasses sounds like it would make a hell of a mess out of my system so I'm leery about using it. The main thing I want to know is does it increase bud size or weight or both? I don't care if it feeds...

    CO2 use rate?

    I'm setting up a new room 8x12x10 or so in size. I've got the controller and valve but I've yet to buy a bottle. I was wondering how long a 20 lb bottle would last in a set up like this. I am doing my best to seal the room tight, including a motor operated inlet damper. Any rough ideas from...

    The Question

    I know that the nutient density is lower in UC because the nutes are more available. It also seems that people use less additives etc. When things are going great they take off and veg like a raped ape. All of these are good things. What I'm concerned with is quality. I don't see that UC...

    CO2 & ebb and flow

    I've got this ebb and grow thing dialesd in and it's time for the next step...CO2 I have some questions, one is about the root zone. Roots are all about O2 and since you only flood them with oxygenated water a couple to a few times a day (6 or more for me) the rest of the time wouldn't they...

    One chiller multiple loads

    Got my 1 hp chiller today. I'm setting up one UC system which will end up being two in two rooms and some ice boxes once I get the CO2 going. I'd like to run a common supply header (line) out of a chilled water res. and have each load temp controlled by having a solonoid valve open and close...

    New Room

    I'm building a new room to grow in. I'm limited to about 8x12 feet with a ceiling that slopes from about 8 feet to just less than 9 feet. I'm currently running ebb and grow buckets in two rooms that are 4x6 (600w veg and 1K flower) and things are working out well enough that it's time for the...

    Seattle area growing question

    I have a few White Widow and one Blue Widow outdoors. They're a couple to a few weeks into budding now and the weather has turned on the wet side. The last thing I want is mold and I was leaning toward chopping them at the end of Sept. since they should be pretty filled out by then. Any...

    Sealing Doors

    I want to get my room as air tight as I can. I've sealed every nook and cranny with caulk so that leaves the doors. They're standard interior bedroom doors. I've tried the self adhesive strips but they're far from perfect. Ideas?

    silica?

    I see a few people are using silica additives like Rhino Skin etc. I looked at some of it at the local shop and asked the guys there and never really did get an answer. What's is supposed to do for the plants? Does it do it? Is the Rhino Skin worth the high price compared to the other brands...

    Trimming - buzz cut?

    I know a guy that's been growing for years. He swears by leaving more of the bud leaves on for a better smoke. There is plenty of resin there and shaving it off just seems like a waste. Other people, far younger people, seem to think that buzzing the bud down to it's surface is the way to...

    Move up from 600 to 1000 watts

    My veg and flowering rooms are identical, 6x4x8 feet. In the flowering room I'm running an air cooled 600 watt HPS in a magnum xxxl reflector. The plants are doing pretty well and the tolerate the light pretty close to them, like between a foot and foot and a half from the tops. I might have...

    Nute Schedule

    Which nute schedule to you follow? I've seen people mention what brand or whatever and that they use an additive or cal-mag but it's not very specific. One exception is Malachi's thread in Micro Grows I also get the impression that pretty much everyone needs cal-mag even though the...

    Foliar Sprays

    Do you folks use foliar sprays during veg or flower as a regular part of growing (not fighting pests) and if so what do you use and why? If you do spray what do you do about the lights and any potential leaf burn? It seems like at least plain water might be helpfull. In the real world the...

    Air layering direct to flower

    There's a thread on air layering (method of making clones) in the room design forum and I thought my question about it would get more views here. Here's the thread: My question is this: What if you did this to the lower branches of a plant in flower and then rooted the cut clones...

    Fan to ducting

    I have a couple of inline can fans and have a heck of a time keeping ducting on the outlet flanges. I've used duct tape, clamps with rubber inside them, and the spring clamps on the flexible ducting and it all seems to work it's way loose after a while. The fan is solidly mounted and the...
