Blumats and No-Till Gardening

December 10, 2019 by fifthseason 4 Comments

-Mike Weeks- Growing organically has always been a passion for us, and we love learning and teaching the best methods to do so. Since it's cold, and none of us are really spending much time out in the garden, I thought I would bring you to one of our off-site, indoor hemp gardens, because there’s plenty of action happening there. I have been practicing a gardening method known as “no-till”, a term well-known in the outdoor gardening community, but there are ways to apply this to an indoor … [Read more...] about Blumats and No-Till Gardening

Carbon Filters for the Win

-Gabrial House- Here at Fifth Season Gardening Co. we sell everything you might need for an indoor grow setup, for either the hobbyist or the commercial grower. That includes everything from grow tents, to commercial lighting systems, plus everything in-between. There is one particular piece of equipment that I want to discuss today, however, and that’s an indoor grow air filtration system.

How to Keep Your Grow Room Clean (and Productive)

September 3, 2019 by fifthseason 2 Comments

-Luis Guerra- Keeping your grow room clean is extremely important in order to maintain a disease- and bug-free environment. Not any old cleaner lingering underneath your kitchen sink will do the job properly, however. Some cleaners are ineffective, while others can leave a residue which can later leak into your grow. In this blog, I’ll go over some of my favorite ‘go to’ products and how to use them safely and effectively to keep your grow area pristine. Hydrogen peroxide: The stuff you buy … [Read more...] about How to Keep Your Grow Room Clean (and Productive)

Hydroponics and the Environment

July 30, 2019 by fifthseason 4 Comments

-Ryan Blankenship- Hydroponics is the process of growing plants without the use of soil, delivering plant nutrients directly through watering.  Nutrients are mixed into a water reservoir and then fed to your plants at regular intervals. Your plants will directly take these nutrients up, as they don’t have to first be broken down in the soil in order to be readily available to plants. Hydroponic gardening is, thus, an efficient way to grow plants, and has a few environmental benefits over … [Read more...] about Hydroponics and the Environment

Digital vs. Magnetic Ballasts

June 25, 2019 by fifthseason 6 Comments

-Gabrial House- Today on the blog I wanted to talk about HID (High Intensity Discharge) lighting, and more specifically the differences between magnetic and digital ballasts. We are going to take a look at the pros and cons of both and why you would choose one piece of technology over the other. First we will want to look at what a ballast does for your lighting system. If we were to plug an HPS (High Pressure Sodium) bulb right into a wall socket (AC current) you would pop your bulb … [Read more...] about Digital vs. Magnetic Ballasts

P-K Boost

April 16, 2019 by fifthseason 1 Comment

-Gabrial House- During a plant’s life cycle it goes through several different phases of growth. At the beginning of its life, it wants a lot of nitrogen and a good amount of phosphorus. These nutrients allow the plant to grow in biomass, meaning the plant is creating a large root system and lots of leafy green material. As growers, we refer to this phase in a plant’s life as its vegetative stage. As the plant enters its reproductive stage, however, it shifts focus away from green, … [Read more...] about P-K Boost

Growing Microgreens Indoors – It’s Easier Than You Might Think!

March 12, 2019 by fifthseason 3 Comments

-Mike Weeks- Growing food indoors might seem intimidating, but it is something that you can incorporate into any homestead. Using LED or even T5 fluorescent lighting, it is very easy to set up a small growing space that doesn’t require much energy to produce quality results. This single indoor space can serve several purposes: growing plant starts for the outdoor garden; keeping a few herbs around through winter; supplying supplemental lighting for a house plant or two; or growing my favorite … [Read more...] about Growing Microgreens Indoors – It’s Easier Than You Might Think!

The Ultimate Flush

January 2, 2019 by fifthseason 4 Comments

-Gabrial House- On the blog this week I wanted to take a closer look at flushing our indoor crops before harvest. I often get asked if I flush my plants, what I use to flush my plants and for how long do I flush my crop? Flushing your indoor crop at the end of its life cycle is a critical step that should not be overlooked. To get the most out of our indoor crops, we tend to push our plants hard, using an array of fertilizers and supplements; however, when it comes time to harvest our … [Read more...] about The Ultimate Flush
