Sounds like you'll be fine bro..Poor ventilation can lead to probs with mold, so you could poss have a coupla probs with that, but its easily remedied. My cab details are as below,and the post after that, although a couple of small changes have been made..ie added an extra 4" fan. I...

Some growers dont remote the ballast as they need the additional heat to keep the grow space within the correct temps range..But a remote ballast also helps you get the light position just right, as you tend (depending on HPS manufacturer) to get a lil more useable room with the ballast out of...

Yup i hear ya. People seem to skip the search button, but it seems its easier to post a thread thats been done a thousand times than to trawl thru the previous threads of said topic. anyhoo, back on track... I'll be ordering a 70w light on wed, and will prolly do the tutorial next wk end. :)

Yeah a sticky would be a good idea. I will post it here firstly then do it in the Growfaq section.

Ok gang, i've been thinkin bout adding a 70w hps into the 150 cab during flowering to replace the 65W daylight CFL that i've been using. I will be buying a light in the next wk, and IF you guys want i'll do a photographic breakdown of the light and removal of the ballast etc to make it remote?!

Just added a coupla extra pics to the previous wiring post.

That has the potential be a killer setup. cant wait to see how it performs for you in the later stages :) k time to catch some zzz's.. peace out. Frosty

Socom, heres the pic i was tryin to send ya...

good tip downthedrain. i used the guts from my hps to mount it to a barn style batwing reflector, and made a lil metal rame/casing for the ballast that sits on top of my cab with a 12v fan blowing thru it to keep the unit cool, works like a dream.

It will flower. CFLs work great, but you seriously need more light. you're really only workin with the bare minimum there bro.

We've got all of our pieces sitting in front of us. We've got the ballast (deceptively heavy): We've got the ignitor: And we've got the socket: You've also got your plug cord and your extension cord. A note before we start to put the wires together: take your time with the next...

For all your wiring, I recommend getting heavy duty replacement cables. I purchased an 8 ft., 16 gauge replacement cord rated for 13 amps. Operating safely is important when you are doing something like this. To impart some electrical knowledge Electrical wire comes in many thicknesses...

We all pick for the high we want. as has been said the trick is to not pick too early.

Have a lil faith in yourself, You're not incorrect bro.. The majority of growers harvest plants in 2 or 3 or poss even more waves. Alot of marijuana strain mature from the top so you take those buds and any of the side nugs that are ready then leave the rest of the plant to finish the flowering...

This thread may shed a lil light on the matter... https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/111444-anyne-ever-smoked-overripe-buds.html <<<---- Its a thread from FDD about harvesting your bud..

Dont harvest by pistil color alone. In the 70's they used to harvest when the pistils were like 80% orange/brown, but that means that alot of the bud is still not at its peak. Invest in a jewellers loupe or a trichome scope... when the pistils start chaniging color, use the loupe/scope to check...

Like the others said,Make hash with your leaf trim. I keep most of my fan leaves and any leftover trim, dry it out and use it instead of tobacco, or to lessen the amount of tobacco i would use. then you you can safely throw the root ball and main stem into the trash.

sorry to hear that shit is still goin around again. previous post on it here.... https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-news-around-globe/68560-contaminated-cannabis.html

Yeah Sea, its from a local farm that composts its waste material each yr after the fall harvest... they mulch the waste vegetable matter and manures etc and create huge great frickin mounds of compost, then they use the farm machinery to 'turn' the compost regularly so it all matures at the...

If i get stuck for organic soil off my local supplier, i often use Wests Advanced +, its quite loamy, and doesnt compact like some composts, also its texture and make up aids root development and is easier for the roots to grow through. It has good water retention without leaving it soaked...
