    70w HPS... Security light?

    What part don't you understand? It's already been explained that a 70 watt HPS isn't going to provide a "lot of light". It has also been pointed out that a "$.50 plug" (a cheap hardware store part) can be added "Easy Peasy". The only thing left is the "Dusk to Dawn" part, is that what you are...

    perpetual growing cycle?

    For the OP. Simply stated, it's like a production line. You start with one (or more) plant (or plants). Every week you add one (or more) new ones to the "line". It is mandatory to keep track of each plants' "place in line" After 4 weeks (or whatever) of vegging, you move the first plant (or...

    A Question about Seeds

    " I seen somewhere that the seeds won't crack unless you freeze them to complete the annual transformation " For cryin' out loud! That doesn't even make sense. If this were true, there would be no "Tropical" or "Sub-Tropical" strains - or for that matter; no cannabis would grow in those regions.

    I built a bubble cloner

    Well, yes and no! In your case, it looks like the foam plugs you're using to hold the clones in place; completely keep all the bubbling action under the lid (and inside the reservoir). So you probably do need a dome of some sort. An alternate type of "holder" could be used that would allow some...

    Cloning from Clones

    No, it doesn't degrade. Think about it, it's all part of the same plant!

    homegrown skunk

    This is good, basic, advice. It really depends on where you live (what latitude, or altitude). The only thing you need to worry about is, will the plants be ready for harvest before cold weather sets in? As long as you can harvest before the first hard frost sets in you should be ok.

    CO2 on the cheap

    Dude, you must live in a brewery! The rest of us have to make do with only 250-300 ppm in "normal" air. If I could get 600 ppm out of my air, I would be happy and never look back!

    Soil Ph is Below 4 Help

    For the OP. Those "Drop-drop" Ph testers (that change the water color) work great for aquarium water - because aquarium water is clear to begin with. The one big question I have for you is, was the run-off water you tested @ Ph 4 really clear in the first place? If the water picks up any...

    question about clones

    happyhour420 Can you keep cloning cloned plants Yes, lots of people do it this way. ....what will it effect People ask this question all the time, the answer is - nothing! What most people fail to understand is that every new batch of clones isn't a "Biological Generation" (where input from...

    5gal or 7gal

    I concur completely! Most people don't understand that when a "small" plant is placed in a "large" pot, the roots just race to the pot/soil boundery and congregate there. 75% of the root system ends up around the periphery of the pot (like the rind on a watermelon). A "few" re-pottings along the...

    Quick question... PLEASE help!!!

    Lava Light bulbs are completely useless for growing, they're just small incandescant reflectorized "spotlights". At least get a 6.5K (Daylight spectrum) CFL bulb, or two. How deep did you plant the seed in the first place? And how deep did you re-plant it? A proper depth to plant seeds is about...

    advice on watering big pots needed

    Kudos to SoulSynergy for post #3 (everyone should go back and read it again!). Throwing baby seedlings into a big-ass pot may be easier, but the only advantage is to enable laziness! Four 5 gal. pots is always better than one 20 gal. pot with four plants in it! For all the reasons mentioned...

    Anyone using a "LuxCore" brand ballast???

    What is it you want to know? You're not likely to get too many responces because LuxCore ballasts are made for the "aquarium" and "reef" market moreso than for the "growing" market.

    NEW..lUMATEK iCE PACK

    Your point makes sense! But the OP had his ballast inside the tent itself. It just seems a little unusual, in that situation.

    NEW..lUMATEK iCE PACK

    Aside from the "Don't need it" issue, the OP is asking about using it inside a tent. The device is just a fan! It's not going to make any heat disappear, it will just move the air and redistribute the heat (inside the tent). My question is, why would you want to put the ballast inside the...

    Any advice on building a chamber for Mothers and young clones

    When dealing with mother plants, the main thing to get your head around is that, you're not "pushing" the plant for maximum growth (not using maximised lighting and nutes, etc.). Basically, you just want the plant to "coast along" and stay healthy. This works good for a "single" mother plant...

    Complete soil renewal ?

    Root Trimming 1. Remove the pot and set plant, upright, on a flat surface. 2. Using a sharp breadknife, take about 3/4" - 1" thick slices from around the circumfrence (slice all the way from top to bottom). You don't want to break up the rootball - just trim off the exterior - making it smaller...

    Watering Your Plants Correctly - What is your strategy? What is the best strategy?

    Say I have a one gallon pot I use about 3/4 of a gallon of water. 3/4 gallon of water into a 1 gallon pot? You sure about that?

    Will this be a problem?

    For best air circulation you should locate the passive intakes at the bottom of the cabinet, bringing in cooler air. As the air warms up, thermo-dynamics makes the warmer air rise to the top of the cabinet. The warm air exits at the top, via the exhaust fan. You can use two passive intakes to...
