    question

    I grow 3-4 plants at a time. Just upgraded to a 400 Watt HPS from CFLs. In order to get enough wattage from CFLs for flowering, I'd say AT LEAST 100 ACTUAL Watts per plant. JMO, I'm a newb myself, only completed one grow so far, but from experience, the CFLs don't penetrate the canopy so you...

    Items Need For First Grow ?? Pls Help

    Get an EC Meter as well. You don't need to get the most expensive one around. I just bought an EC Meter and PH Meter for my second grow. I used test drops for ph during my first grow and no EC meter at all. It makes it really hard to diagnose problems if you don't know what your ph and ppm is...

    Sannies versus Attitude

    I just harvested 3 Chocolate Rains. They are awesome! Totally frosty. Just a word of caution, you better triple bag those buds otherwise everyone in a 100 ft radius will know what's in you pocket! Totally stinky, haha.

    I thought the picture looks amazing and it seems to me G13 have a pretty solid reputation for good genetics. If you have a recommendation for a different seed company's Purple Haze, I'll look into it. I was thinking about Positronics, but I haven't heard much about them.

    What are the best "ALL AROUND" strains for indoor growing?

    Ditto! I buy any seeds that I just have to try, haha. Ny wish list is at around 60 strains. I have like 23 or 24 strains in my current collection. Many singles from pick and mix and U.F.O.s at the Attitude, but also a few packs.

    I'm ordering from the Attitude. Iwas considering the Mosca C99 BX1 because of the promo but, I think it's over.

    Yeah, that's the actual strain on my wish list, but if I try the Female Seeds version, I can get 1-2 packs of other seeds, too. I really want either TH Seedss Jack 33 or G-13 Labs Purple Haze. It depends how much I spend on grow room upgrades between now and then! Lol. So many strains, such...

    I pretty much decided on that one! I am trying to harvest every 8 weeks. Once I have a good supply, I'll look at longer flowering varieties!

    6500k lights mixed with 5000k for Veg?

    I just switched from CFLs in my flowering area to a 400 Watt HPS and my 125 Watt 2700K CFL. I have 4 or 5 42-55 watt 2700ks I won't be using for flower anymore, so I'll throw some of those in my veg area. Thanks for the reply. +rep.

    6500k lights mixed with 5000k for Veg?

    Hey guys! Looking for a little advice. I have a 125 Watt 6500k CFL, plus 2 42 watt 6500ks. I am adding 2 more 55 Watt lights. Should I keep all of them 6500k or throw in a few 5000k to cover a broader spectrum? Thanks for any advice.

    My First Harvest ~ Kandy Kush & Chocolate Rain

    Thanks for all the replies, guys! It's always good to learn from your own mistakes! I am still psyched to be smoking pot that I grew myself. I've been smoking for 20 years and while it's not the best pot I've ever smoked, it is still pretty damn good! Got stoned off half a thin joint.

    My First Harvest ~ Kandy Kush & Chocolate Rain

    My closet is in the basement. With the CFLs, I need to run a space heater 24/7. Even in the summer it's 10 degrees colder in the basement, so I'm hoping that if I hook the exhaust fan up to the light, it will do the trick. I'll also add a fan or two when it gets hot. My Hubby finally ran my...

    My First Harvest ~ Kandy Kush & Chocolate Rain

    So, my first harvest is in. My yield really sucked, 11.6 grams dried from my Kandy Kush, plus about 4 grams being smoked uncured and the 3 Chocolate Rains Yielded me 25.2 grams being cured plus another 5 in my stash box, but the pot is really good! I learned alot, so I plan to do way better next...

    Just Bought a 400 Watt HPS for $99.95!!!

    Why would I want a switchable light??? I have separate veg and flower areas and both sets of lights will always be in use. I may eventually switch to MH for veg, but right now I am upgrading my whole grow closet and that is way down on my list! CFLs are fine for veg for now. I would rather spend...

    4 the Newbies... Keep it simple

    Not to get in between this argument or anything, but shouldn't you let the people (newbs) who are reading this know that you have yet to get to your first harvest? When I give advice to newer newbs than myself, I am always sure to let them know I am a Newb myself. Seems to me you are trying...

    4 the Newbies... Keep it simple

    You really shouldn't be telling newbs not to test ph! That is VERY important. Also, distilled water has a ph of 7.0 ( neutral). Many plant problems that appear to nute burn or deficiency are really caused by incorrect ph locking out nutes. I thought most of your post was great for newbs, but...
