    Anyone know how much it is? When I click on order it is just an order form. It doesn't give the price.

    Question about the biology of the Grape cycle

    OK, that's cool, but how about when the fruit set occurs? I can live with only one yield a year per plant. But what I'm wanting to do is have several different plants in separate rooms with separate lighting controls. So that I can harvest one set of vines per month.

    Question about the biology of the Grape cycle

    Double cropping isn't going to be possible growing outdoors or in a greenhouse. I'm talking about growing indoors where I can control the light cycle. The grapes would not know what time of year it is, when you are growing indoors. You can control the temperature and the light schedule when you...

    Question about the biology of the Grape cycle

    I guess Toxic soil is a possibility, but I have never had a problem growing anything in hydro. I even grew corn in hydro last summer. And it was awesome. That was one thing I thought couldn't be done, but I did it. :D

    Question about the biology of the Grape cycle

    haha.. I didn't say I can't grow, because I live in a cold climate. I said I can't grow in dirt, and I can't grow Hydro outside. I don't know why everything I plant in the ground is dead within weeks, but it never fails. I planted both Blueberries and Raspberries in my back yard last year and...

    Question about the biology of the Grape cycle

    My reasoning for this is, I have terrible luck growing anything in the ground. Everything I grow in the ground dies. I have been growing all of my vegetables hydroponically for about fifteen years now, and I really want to grow grapes, raspberries, and blueberries. Unfortunately growing...

    Question about the biology of the Grape cycle

    hmm.. from the forum link I get that they need light feedings, and an extremely large volume for the root zone. So NFT is out. So it looks as if DWC or Ebb and Flow will be the way to go. I can do 30 gallon rubbermaid tubs for a make shift ebb and gro type system. But for 10 vines in a run I...

    what kind of water to use

    If you are running softened water through your RO filters; you are shortening the life of your filters. Because now you are adding salt to be filtered out of your water. You should run the RO before the softener, but don't put the output into the softener. The water that comes out of an RO...

    Question about the biology of the Grape cycle

    I'm looking to grow some grape vines indoors. The reason I want to do it indoors is that I live in a cold climate and I would like to be able to produce grapes year round and not just in October. So I guess my first question is what causes the plant to produce the grapes? Is it photoperiod...

    Getting the answer you want fast!

    Oh okay, that makes sense then.. Because I read it in a *******ers guide, and when *******ing you use heat. So okay, I didn't know it needed the heat to make the methanol. Thanks for the insight. It was something I've been wondering for a long time, and haven't really found a definitive answer...

    Getting the answer you want fast!

    I wasn't talking about Ethanol, I was talking about Methanol. The two are completely different. Ethanol you can drink, Methanol you cannot.

    Getting the answer you want fast!

    This question doesn't refer to a specific recipe per se, but just something I've wondered for quite a while now. This is about Oak Chips that some wine kits come with. These wine kits tell you to toss in the Oak Chips into the primary fermentor. The problem I have is you have active yeast in...
