I'm from AK, and can confirm this stuff has been going on long before the internet captured it in all it's glory. 

  That is what I was referring too, as my fiance has anxiety about failing, she likes reassurance.  Over time she compared the feel of her naturally occurring soil to the moisture gauge.  Now she knows what it feels like when it needs to be watered.  Not everyone operates the same.     You can...

  ah.  Well.  To each their own.  I would suggest (much cheaper option) buying a moisture gauge and learning to see what your "normal use" soil looks and feels like at various points of the moisture spectrum.     Just my opinion.      Best wishes OP. 

Happy Birthday brother!  You were one of the first people I remember talking to when I joined the forum.    Glad to help celebrate another trip around the sun! 

  You might be better suited to just try and make your own compost.    I tend to avoid specialty products for fear that I won't be able to find them later.     Is there a specific reason you are looking for pine bark fines? 

  If the viens are still showing green - then it is the plants reaction to sun scald.  If the veins are brown, the leaf is just dead. 

The plant dropping the leaves is a direct response to root damage in the process of transplanting.  Either that or the direct sunlight is causing issues.    Do the plants have any lightening of the leaves before dropping off?  Like an off-white/tan color?  

You can buy your own root and make your own, it really isn't that hard.     I'm actually growing some in a container this year (well trying anyway) 

Good morning everyone.  Today is my first full day at my new office, and I'm still getting used to the silence of the Cube-Farm and not hearing my production staff in the background of everything I do.     I find myself listening to a lot more music because the sounds of breathing bothers me for...

I think deed restrictions are morally and ethically wrong when it comes to personal property use.   Especially when folks start using their opinions as to what is a reasonable restriction.     HOAs are great in concept, but horrible in real life.   Just like communism.  

I'm assuming that meter is measuring in lumens?  I thought the minimum light you want to get on your plants for an indoor grow was around 5000 lumens/sqft. 

Looking good.  I would even still lower that light some more.     You said the light was a T8, is it a High Output light? (More heat) if not, you can lower that with a cheap daisy chain to a couple inches above the plants.     Unless of course you are trying to give light to the plants further...

There are no wannabe's in gardening brother.  Only doers and dreamers.  

  oddly enough I have had sunburn with using the T5 high output bulbs.  I have around 26k Lumens over 4.5 sqft of space.  I ended up having only a couple of the older leaves get some white bleaching.  

When you get to 37/38 degrees you get the weather phenomenon "light frost" where somehow you get a mild frost well above freezing.     As long as you didn't have frost on your vehicle/furniture in the morning you will be fine.  As soon as the soil is consistently above 50 degrees you'll be...

Good morning yall.   It looks like all my plants are going to survive transplant and plant out!     Happy to have another day on this earth!    Hope everyone is well.  My best friends father passed this Wednesday, and I would appreciate any prayers for their family.  I will be attending the...

I normally buy soil when I am in a jam, and avoid the stuff at all cost.   For so many years my garden was plagued by bugs...right up until i stopped using bagged soil in my garden.    I recently had to use some bagged soil to pot up some plants, and I regret not preparing better.   The plants I...
