I was spray painting some 3 gallon buckets because my local hydro shop dosnt carry any, and i was wondering if spray painting on the inside of the bucket would be bad for dwc/hempy pot setup, could the chemicals leech and cause problems?

Figured it might be a cool idea to store away a small amount of each grow and compair later on, 5 maybe 10 years down the line, maybe later there will be an easier way to lab test your bud, and when im more experienced could see how i got better(or worse) each grow. Test the potency, percentage...

Has anyone tested blowing are through different sides of the hood, or testing the Lux of the setup after trying each? If so which would be preferable? Seems like a silly question but im sure each could change the amount of light or heat emitted by the bulb.

Just want to know if anyone has experience with a simple 2 part or 1 part system in hydro, no additives with good results? I wanna save a bit of cash on nutes and not go all out on this next hydro setup but there's so much disinformation out there on hydro nutes and im not quite sure which one...

Been growing this strain for over 4 years myself and a friend grew it longer then that, well anyway just trimmed them up today heres a few shots.

Hey guys, went over to the grow expo in San Francisco this weekend and go a ton of free goodies... literally over 40 bottles of additives, nute lines, and every organic additive you can imagine. Some things i should clear up before i continue, i use soil in 7 gallon pots and grow under 600W HPS...

Been looking online for a good hood or cool-tube for my 3x3 tent, anyone know something good that could easily fit without much fuss?

I'm looking to go 100% organic this time around and was looking around the forums for feeding plans and most don't look like something id be into doing, ie huge organic compost piles or super soils. Ive looked into compost tea but it requires a lot of planning and knowledge of the organic food...

Just decided recently to switch all my plants this grow to 5 gallon smart pots in my tent. Does anyone have experience with these opposed to normal potting containers? What benefits do they have over normal pots, Also are there any noticeable growth differences I.e Yield/size?

Just got back into organics recently and I've been reading a lot around the forums about compost teas as your main nutrient formula i.e bat guano at a 10-0-1 ratio. Well i also added a few things to boost up some microbial activity from Heisenberg formula, Aqua shield and Zho powder. So i...

I'm a California resident, just turned 21. I suffer from very bad anxiety and use cannabis for aiding in this along with other social difficulty's and problems ive had in late highschool. Problem is ive never been to a doctor about my anxiety, depression, and really bad insomnia... i currently...

What are the possibility of using LED in the next 3 years for full on grows, 500W bulbs? or more? Post comments as im very interested in where its going, ive seen articles saying that the price per lumen within the next few years will be a fraction of what it is today.

I believe simple is better, I've grown crops with minimal nutrient and created monsters. Going into my dwc grow i wanted to keep the same view and continue a simple nutrient regiment with some simple additives, but there lies my problem. What additives could i throw in the mix to make nutrient...

Started giving my plants a tea formula i picked up at the shop, heard many people say that adding beneficial microbial to your dwc system helps promote positive root growth, and clear slime problems, which it did. But shortly after giving them the formula i started to see this dark brown matter...

Ive needed a serious upgrade from my last setup (400W HPS Magnetic) To a more up to date electronic system. I came across the digilux line of bulbs and a lumatec 600w switchable ballast which i can get for around $169 and the bulb for $82. There's tons of other bulbs out there for less then half...

So i came up with a list that I'm going to order within the next week for my 4 plant DWC system. I wanted to go with something one step up from what i previously used which was a 400w HPS magnetic setup, to a more high tech 600w HPS/MH Electronic setup paired with the digilux bulb. Now these...
