No way!! I've seen that before... up here in canada.. it is all over the place... freeze dried commercial... but still rite damp feeling.... If you cure it for a couple weeks it is A LOT better.... but still not near as good as other stuff on the market.
I let mine evaporate usually... but the coffee filter idea is a champ one! I'm gonna try that one tomorrow when i get off my butt n finish the syphoning.
I prefer to change every week... because my schedule tells me to... and because I dont wanna go through the hassle of figuring out all the nutes to add to it n whatnot... I HAVE left a res for over a month.... but honestly... the plants changed weekly were in a lot happier shape.
same here!! i use my air pump 1/4 inch tubing... works nice when u get down close to the end... speaking of... my trichs will all be settled nice by morning... mmmm.. hash =)
Avid is poisonous to humans... it cannot be used during flowering unless you plan on sitting the harvest out to the air for 4-6 weeks for it to break down.

You can't judge the amount of light he needs by the number of plants... I do 25 under one 1000w and it is the proper amount for the area. You want 5000+ lumens per square foot..... figure it out mang!

however not being allowed to drive while drinking hampers my spirit towards it.
NOOOOOOOOOOO, they have to match... or ur looking at starting a fire.
the lights are not necessarily too much... they'll put off some good heat tho... harder to cool then a 400w
this is where some ppl argue on what to do... personally I just add plain water to my res...
You should only be topping up on nutes each time if you have a ppm/tds/ec meter.
You pump should be shutoff when u add the plain water... then when mixed together get ur ph to the right place and...
I started basically because a friend told me it was thereputic also... and now i'm so interested in it I dont know what to do w/ myself...
By black and gold I mean humic and fulvic acid.... they are great additives.. and you will notice a difference in your grow by using them.
