maybe take some cuttings for clones in case they get wrecked!? (insurance)

i can’t think of sheeeiit that you could put put or have your gimp help with. dang.

(or a tornado, for that matter, but i don’t understand why tornado-alley doesn’t have 100% masonry construction after watching “flying-trailer season” every year since i was a kid…wtf?)

Hey buddy, Can you click on the link below. This is a pretty good overview of some of the lighting options available.

i’m always ready to share my 2 cents with you

i tried CFLs early on. work? yes. not great, but better than nothing, no doubt.
there are large CFLs too (a buddy gave me a 95w biggie) but i think it had a bigger socket than a household bulb. they make a fair amount of heat, way more than LED, way less than MH/HP$.
i’m using the screw-in LEDs now & am way happy about the energy-use, using 8 15w(100w-equivalent) in a 4x6x8’h tent. i did burn by getting too close, and the covers ARE removed. you’ll need a helper to do that one for you. (i’m such an asshole i can’t joke about your struggle-- only you get to do that! ).

Preparing seeds for easier germination

Contributed by: Locutus Thanks to: Lonestar If you look at the edges of a seed, you'll notice that there's a seam all the way around, and that it's more pronounced on one side - like a ridge. This ridge comes off quite easily and then allows the seeds to pop right out of their shells with ease. Scarification Grip the seed between your thumb and forefinger with the ridge side up, then using the sharp edge of a small pocket-knife or paring knife, very gently scrape at a 90 degree angle acr…

How do I germinate seeds?

Contributed by: MisterIto There are different methods that prove successful: Seeds can be placed between folded, wet paper towels that are kept moist and warm in an area between 70-85 degrees, such as on the top of the refrigerator. After a period of 48 hours to 2 weeks, the vast majority of viable seeds will crack open with a white root tip emerging. At this point, the seed is gently placed in the growing medium approximately 1/2 inch deep with the root tip pointed downward. Seeds can als…

Make a 10% bleach solution, and swirl your seeds for thirty seconds.
Immediately rinse the seeds thoroughly for at least another thirty seconds, longer is even better.
Drain the seeds on a coffee filter and proceed as usual

best ways to re set grow rooms?

[Worcestershire_Farms]

What do you mean, reset? Sanitizing in-between grows?

[treedawg]

yes make sure bugs and pm is dead and room is clean what products to use

[ReikoX]

If you have had issues, I would clean with bleach and wipe everything down with isopropyl alcohol after. If it’s just to clean up, I like to use StarSan. It’s an acid based cleaner used in brewing beer and wine. It’s a no rinse, food safe, cleaner. It will sanitize, but I doubt it would effect bugs.
