    How is the Yield of an Indoor Plant Measured??

    It means 1 sq meter done in SOG. IMO, you raise a good question because that is not a particularly good measure. Recently, grams per watt has caught on and it does seem to capture a lot of variables. Indoors if you get a half gram per watt that's OK and a gram a watt is super.

    HPS + ballast issue

    Is it tripping the breaker or just going off? If it is tripping the breaker, take it somewhere else in the house where you know you can run that much, turn other stuff on that circuit off, and try it there. If it does the same thing I fear it is some internal glitch that is tripping a protection...

    Sprouts with Seed Pods Attached

    I suppose that's true. But I just support stretchy ones and there doesn't seem to be any residual damage. On the other hand, maybe there is. On the other hand, if nature wanted them off that badly, she'd do a better job of getting them off. On the other hand, I want better yields than nature...

    Seed Storing

    I store seeds in the little vials they come in and then put those in a padded envelope and that in the vegetable drawer of the fridge. Never a problem. BUT, if it were me I would wait and order so that I would be germinating fresher seeds. No reason - human nature.

    Is there a good thread on lollipopping and schedule?

    I'm going to try it this grow. I've heard the best approach is, after three weeks of 12/12, to trim everything from the bottom 1/3 of the plant. I'd like to hear more on technique from those who are doing it.

    Sprouts with Seed Pods Attached

    The seed cap is supposed to be there. It falls off by itself from the leaves pushing out, much like a baby bird breaking out of an egg. If it bother you, you can gently flick it off with your thumbnail. But basically don't worry about it - a plant never died because of a seedcap. I remember my...

    Killer Green DWC kit...

    I think you lose something in the way of learning when you don't buy components and put the system together yourself.

    Micro-Pore air diffusers

    DO isn't the only thing you want an airstone to do (no pun intended). Mine are Boss Hog diffusers - expensive but I'm glad I have them. Last forever, don't clog, easy clean.

    Stealth Hydro's DWC System, Anyone try it?

    Don't buy from Stealth. That is a 10 gal Sterlite tote. You can buy one for $5. Cut holes as you wish and run 6 gal of water in it. Use a lot of airstones and powerful pump for lots of bubbles, and forget that feeding tube crap.

    Is it necessary to change reservoire in hydro grow?

    I started with changing mine every week. Then every other week. Now I'm down to changing it once a grow, and I'm toying with not changing it at all.

    What happens when it's 85 at night and 95 in the tent? I like my temps under the light at the top of the foliage, to begin with a 7.

    where to get DWC bucket?

    Question, why do you need that much rootspace for a plant that doesn't get much over 3 ft? I've never tried buckets because I always considered them to be for huge plants.

    where to get DWC bucket?

    A little light won't hurt. I spray mine white for heat not light. You can get spray paint meant for plastic. ps I question that coolers help with heat. It's simple physics that everything in the environment, given time, will equalize in temp, unless there is an outside energy source acting (eg...

    Looking For A Paid Mentor

    It "would" be good for that. But I see people putting up a tent in the middle of a room when they could just put the grow open right there. The only thing the tent could add would be some reflectivity, but secondary light like that isn't really worth the effort IMO, if you have an adequate hps...

    How long does thc take before it turns psychoactive after cut/dry/cure?

    Yeah, but it is psychoactive before it is cut even. The curing process is probably 80% about taste and smoothness, and 20% about potency. Of course 20% is always welcome and I cure mine for at least 30 days. My own reserves have been curing for a year.
