I can't really give good advice on hydroponic growing problem issues. My past experience with hydro has been, well, let's just say "less than...
Foxfarm products are available in SoCal but not at the "big name" stores, you will have better luck at a serious nursery or a proper hydroponics...
As your plants are already established, I would reccomend Foxfarm's "Ocean Forest"; it's an organic potting soil that is full of good aditives. It...
They will sprout without light (they don't get any light untill the cotylidons break the surface anyway). But they do need light as soon as they...
I'm not growing anything right now. Probably wont be for a while, till after we finally move back East. But I am working on something. I'm...
Yeah, you just have to save the occasional seed untill you have a few, then give it a shot!
Is that garden soil you're growing in, or some mixture of ingredients?
The "toughening up" process is a general warning. It makes a lot more sense in mid-summer when the temps are hot and the sunlight is strong. When...
I don't recall ever seeing this question before. I don't recall ever seeing information that really answered this either. Hell, I don't recall a...
Yeah, I know that flourescents will work! At least the newer varieties that are available since I stopped using them. But there's more to it than...
6500 k. flourescents will produce light in the "blue" range, so they will be fine for vegging. But flourescents (even the 2700 k.) are notorious...

Yeah, the ones with the red backs - regular Ladybugs! They eat aphids and mites and all sorts of pests. I wouldn't try to catch a bunch "out in...
For Spider Mites, or many other pests, use predators - the dreaded "Ladybug" eats just about all small pests and can be found at garden centers...

First of all - quit using nutes before you burn them up! They wont be ready for nutrients till they're about a month old. Just water for the...
Start by cloning each plant and labeling them so you know which clone is from which plant. Then, after the buds are cured, you determine which...
By M4N: "small then transplant to bigger" I couldn't agree more! Some people try to avoid transplanting (lazyness?), but the smaller confinement...
What do you mean by "better" and what level of growing experience are you talking about? Some seeds cost well over $300. (U.S.D.) for a packet of...
