    Comment on my CFL Flowers

    depends.... RH in your drying area/ size of buds/type of weed/type of drying method used...... quite a few variables but I used 4-7 days as a guide. One of my plants was dry before the 4 days. Another took a week to dry. I place them on a mesh screen and leave in warm, dry and dim place with...

    Blue Cheese, Auto New York City and Auto White Widow

    Hi - just finished growing a couple of auto's. tried some LST/topping with them. Big failure. Would not do anything to them at all. Just get as much light on them as possible until they are ready.

    12/12 from seed using CFL's. NLxBig Bud and many many others!

    Tonight I created a vegging/seedling area. Basically it is an area where I can get 24/0 of bright white light to my underground seedlings until they are ready to go into the 12/12 room. I figure this might be a LOT quicker than putting them in the 12/12 area from seed. Also I have not had much...

    OK good to see you have 3 females at least. How about some close up pics of how you arrived at this conclusion?

    Also have decided for now that I cannot be bothered with getting a HPS lighting kit. That could change in time too.

    Checked my germinating seeds and found the 2 together. The unknown strain shot out very big tap roots already so I planted them in coco/soil/perlite inside a rockwool cube. The 4 Chocolope Kush had taproots forming but not long enough to plant until tomorrow I'm thinking. The idea is to get get...

    So I just got back from a trip away. Came back to find my Moby Dick had grown impressively into the lights and got burnt a decent amount. The FCJ is not growing at all. Looks dead on the vine. The Hindu Kush never broke ground. The good news is that I found some bagseed in a couple of high end...

    So I have to leave my babies for a while. Have raised bulbs and fed the Moby Dick with full strength Maxibloom with a little 25/5/5 solution to get her growing. The FCJ seedling is not doing much so I gave her some plain water. The Hindu Kush is yet to emerge but have 3 bulbs ready to shine when...

    nice buds but not frosty

    I had the same thing under CFL's. Weed was ok but no frostiness. I put it down to consistant high temps during my grow.

    Now I'm seeing these tiny winged black things crawling about in my coco. Not sure what they are but there is already a lizard living in my bedroom so I managed to catch it and put it in the grow tent. Once there its only food source will be the various pests that live in my coco/soil and other...

    The 12-12 From Seed Thread

    have a quick question. Am thinking about getting a 250w HPs dual spectrum bulb set up going in my tent. With this 12/12 from seed do I start with 6500k setting for a week or two or go straight into the 2700k flower setting from the start? Intuitively I'm thinking about 2 weeks using the 6500k...

    So the Moby Dick is growing nicely now temps are sorted out. Showing a slight cal/mag def so will have to sort that out next feeding. Have to be careful not to overdo it. Will be away for just over a week soon so have to raise the lights, water them up and hope for the best! When I come back as...

    Just bad luck really but probably as you say. So the Hindu Kush is germed slowly. Tap root starting to show. Put it back in paper towel inside jar and in warm dark place. Should be ready by sunday. The Moby dick is looking ok and growing pretty fast. Shows a little of a deficiency but not too...

    So the NLxBB has been taken out of the tent. Even after I repotted it tonight I noticed a couple of the same little winged bugs crawling about in the coc/soil after I watered. It was the final straw. Moved it on out for a quick berial at a later date. Not sure what the bugs were but they were...

    250w HPS Club And Help Guide

    Hi folks. I'm a CFL grower and I think I have a growing situation where I can now benefit from HPS lighting set up. My set up is Secret Jardain 24inch x 24inch x 60 inch grow tent . I have exhaust fan with ducting on the top and A/C inlet ducting in at a lower level. Have a couple of...

    As it is now it is looking the same way for me. Have moved my grow into a place with A/C and have seen a real improvement in temps already. Getting 84 degrees with lights and A/C on and 80-82 with lights and A/C off. Keeping an oscillating fan going 24/7. The new room has more Co2 cos I spend a...

    12/12 from seed using CFL's. NLxBig Bud and many many others!

    Today I tried something. Took my soil/coco mix and flushed it for an hour under running tap water. Afterward the ph was too high so used white spirit vinegar mixed with water to lower to 6.7 or so. Now am leaving the waterlogged results to dry a little before decided what to put in it. Perhaps...

    NLxBB showing red on my fertometer still so flushed a gallon and a bit of water through. Trying to make the soil less 'hot' Also put in some Co2 mix sealed (I hope) and removed my exhaust fan. There is something clearly wrong with my set up so have to make some changes to see what will work. If...
