Anyone want to share there methods for doing a slurry test? I have never done one but I think my pH is low. I am growing in Ocean Forest. Is slurry better then runoff?

Hey growers, I just got a new pH pen, HM digital PH-80. How do you all store and care for your meters? I want to take better care of this one. It's my second meter first one was more of a learning experience. I already use a storage solution and keep the meter moist. Should I use the HM brand of...

Hey everyone, this post isn't about any plant problems but more of a general discussion. I have noticed a lot a 600/400w digital ballast are no longer available on online retailers, Hydrofarms own website even seems to indicate that they are being pushed out. I learned how to grow under MH and...

I think mice may be destroying my seedlings. I'm finding broken steams and the cotyilodons are missing on the only two seedlings that are left standing. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Hey growers, How much light would you guys recommend for two indoor plants in a 2x4 tent. I am finishing up my second grow right now. Since starting I have done two plants at a time with 150w hps per plant both veg and flower in 5 gal pots with good potting soil. I have noticed from my own...

Ok, everyone, I am a first-time grower with two very basic questions about watering. I know my questions are going to come off as a little stupid, and I have a feeling I already know the answers but I have been battling with watering the whole grow. And now that I'm using nutes it's more...

Hey fellow growers, does anyone know how to mix cal-mag (general hydroponics) into a foliar spray to spray one plant? And what is the best way to apply it? Like should I spray the whole plant or just the leaves with the worst deficiency? Should I wait until lights are off at the end of the day...
