I'd lose the water pump all together and feed the plants with plenty of bubble action.

This is why I only grow strains with stable old genetics.

200 w still wouldn't be enough. I've done several grows with cfls and it isn't worth it. You would be better off all around with a 150w hps in there.

I've done flush and no flush and seen no difference in any part of the plant incl the roots. I'm flushing when the plant is near the end of its life cycle. I don't care about stress. In fact, I think it is the stress that prompts the plant to squeeze out the last of thc. I add 1 teaspoon per...

In the last couple weeks I think trauma helps produce more thc. So I sneak up on them and jump out screaming. Then I yell shit to scare them like - I'm from the DEA and I'm gonna chop your asses down and burn you! OK not really. I don't actually talk to them, but I talk to myself over them. At...

Here I am in Ohio, growing some loverly northern lights, and it just keeps accumulating not because I need it but because I like growing it. Problem is, I only know a couple people that use it well enough to sell it to them. Back when I was buying, I would have eagerly paid 300 an ounce for this.

For starters, by personal experience leds are cooler to the touch per watt. A 90w led is barely warm to the touch. A 90w cfl will burn you. My situation: I have a 400w hps in a closet. I only grow 3 seasons a year in Ohio because I don't want to hassle with heat. In the spring, like dow, days...

Hell, I got 2 ounces from one plant in an aerogarden with it's single flouro tube. I think it is very reasonable to expect 2 oz per plant from a 150 with only two plants. If it were me, I'd try 4 plants and keep them smaller. I bet you can get 6 oz out of the four.

Getting too hot shuts a plant's growth down completely. I don't see how that is going to result in more yield?

The days are getting warmer and I'm having a hard time keeping temps below 80. I do have a lumatek 400w ballast dimable to 250w. At 250 the temps are more manageable. I'm in the middle of the 7th week of flower. Do you think dropping to 250, at least on warm days, will have much effect on yield...

I don't grow at all in summer because of heat. This time of year, when we have some warm days, my last few weeks to go crop is getting too warm, even with all the fans on full. I can add some AC to the room the closet is in and fix it, but then the AC vents to the outside. The question is, will...

I grow Northern Lights and Barney's Farm LSD. The LSD is more potent, but sometimes gives me a racy feeling I don't like. The NL is like a comfortable old shoe - mellow and I still function well.

You can harvest the tops and let lower buds go some more. You might get some extra growth out of it. It's not just whether they are still growing but how developed the trichomes are. If they are all ready then harvest them all.

There's hardly been any bitching in this thread. More like looking for serious advice - and it's been very helpful! I can see that the underlying problem is not knowing enough other smokers. I think that happens over the years. I know a lot but they live in other states. maybe I should do a...

I promise to do 16 eggs, that's a quarter pound. If you know anyone in Ohio, they will be in rabbity places around the main campus of Ohio State on easter morning!

Good points on giving it away, thanks. But regardless of the price, I still don't know enough people who use it that I'm comfortable selling to. How did that happen? Used to be everyone I knew smoked. Probably everyone I know now does too, but we're all just older and more inclined to be...

What's sacred geometry? Is all geometry sacred? What's the diff between the sacred kind and the not so sacred kind?

There's a thought - hash. Will it really keep a long time? How long will cured buds last? Maybe I could have a pot cellar like a wine cellar. Years from now someone will dust off a mason jar and say, "ah this is 2011 Northern Lights by Illegal Smile!"

Time is the fire in which we burn.

No I'm serious and not trying to make anyone jealous. It is very ironic. Logically I should just do one small grow a year, but I like doing it. If you grow too many tomatoes you can always give them to the neighbors. But I'm too paranoid about selling at any price, except to people I know well...
