    5x5 veros29SE D

    you clearly don't know what COBS are and how they operate or how effective they are in a grow. we've been growing since 1977 using a variety of lights, yes HPS works fine if you like a lot of heat, replacing 100 bulbs every year, not being to adjust the intensity. Maybe you should go to an HPS...

    Any 1 Know What Strains are Good & not Good to Top???

    We've topped a Jack Herer and it developed very nice. We only tend to top our sativa's, sometimes our hybrids, depending on what they are. Our higher indica plants we don't touch. Your plant looks great!

    So...you can't transplant Autos?

    We've transplanted auto's every grow and never an issue. Always within 10-12 days from pop which is before any pre-flowering.

    Afghan kush Ryder second grow. Shitty pheno

    we had an issue with our afghan ryder from world of seeds. grew like a crazy sativa. lanky, tall, craziest looking plant we ever grew. cropped it and tossed it out. Grew a pakistan ryder and got ~2 oz and it was exactly as described. Awesome night-time strain! We think there are better genetics...

    Hand Trimming vs. Machine Trimming

    that's from drying too fast and not curing properly. it has nothing to do with how you trim.

    whats more potent than y griega?

    we grew a Y plant outside this year under a scrog method. most amazing plant we've ever grown. our own soil mix, only organic ferts, 17 gallon bucket. ended with 19.33 oz. It could handle everything we could throw at it fertilizer-wise and required more Cal-Mag than the others we grew this...

    Running vero c units at 75%?

    we run a 950 COB setup using the Vero 29c's. Our photoperiods did great the higher intensity @ ~75%, but the autoflowers we ran afterwards didn't like that intensity so we lowered to 50% and they did alright. Next year probably going a little lower than that for the autos. they were two blue...

    QB boards and COBs in winter? Are they warm enough?

    you'll want to figure out a way to keep the roots warmer than the floor temp, look into heater pads or something along that line that keeps them at a constant temp. Our 950watt cobs put out some heat but it all rises to the top of our grow shed and towards the end of our grow, which was about...

    Question regarding curing spears

    we trim all our buds down as there's no need to keep them in "spears" and we find they cure more evenly. we don't want any stems or as little as possible in our curing. personal preference.

    Amazing weed, smells like hay though!

    Finally someone with a voice of reason and knowledge. we were laughing at all the crazy comments regarding "why my weed smells like hay." Especially the person who said "poor genetics" that one was funny. As you said, "Growing is actually the easy part.. the hard part is drying and curing the...

    seedlings coming up out of soil, just laying down. help please

    we haven't soaked seeds since the early 90s. Very old school method that doesn't really apply with today's fresh seeds. Cook the soil for two days which is once you have your soil mix, wet it throughly and allow it to sit for two days or so. Insert seed so the tap root goes downward, keep...

    seedlings coming up out of soil, just laying down. help please

    why didn't you fill those cups to the top with soil. way to wet dry them out or they'll rot away. Did you do ANY research before starting these seeds? WTF.

    Trying soil out and smart pots help!

    Transplant the root-ball and the soil into your new container. WRONG: LED can bleach your plants. Its not reversible if that happens. Also, you can use/select various kelvin temps with the better leds. We use cob leds. Both the vero 29vs and Cree 3590s. Depending on what and where we are growing.
