foggers suck, they don't kill my mites. i use a mixture of dawn dish detergent and neem oil (1/2 tsp dawn, 3tbs neem per liter spray bottle). i only use this mix in veg, and let the mite alone in flower. spraying and tampering with the webs and colony spreads them. the soap kills the mites...

nope, twice the voltage times half the amperage is the same figure. so, a 1kw bulb uses 1kw of power (plus wasted energy ie 80w) no matter what the voltage (including commercial 400v and up). the higher the voltage, the lower the amperage. power usage stays the same.

yep. no problems, keep on rolling ;)

actually, it's the same; twice the voltage x half the amperage still gives you the same amount. power usage is on the bulb, one thousand watts of power... 120v x 9a = 1080w 240v x 4.5a = 1080w ;)

yeah, forgot to mention most people make their own outlets, running a wire for that circuit. i use 120v plugs for my 240v ballasts. the power is 240, the outlets look like 120v (other than the fact i've painted them red). so yes, pay attention to your plugs :)

on 120v, you'll be using around 10 amps, meaning one light per circuit on 240v, you're using have the amperage, and therefore can run twice as many lights on the same sized circuit... most 240v circuits are rated for higher amperage as well, so it boils down to how many lights you'll be using...

hippie folk lore. they can eat your leaves, create a canopy of webs (making colas smaller, reducing yields slightly) and i've NEVER seen a plant killed by them, only plants killed by what the grower sprays on them or does to them. all of my plants flower and get mites, it's unavoidable in the...

you shouldn't use spraying products on flowers. if early enough, you can wash them off without having to worry about mold issues. however, mites are nasty, but generally don't destroy your crop. a few grams here and there may need to be tossed, but the mites die while drying, and the webs are...

i wouldn't spray anything on any flowers at all. esp so with physan20, i'd be afraid of residuals and smoking. the stuff has a ten page warning label :p if you have mites in flower, it's bad, but not the worst. let the plants finish, and carefully clip off the leaves where the webbing is. dry...

look into physan20, it kills the gnats and the algae, as well as most molds and mildews, bacterias and fungii. really good stuff, but the nuke of the horticultural world. be careful with it, it's a poison.

hygrozyme is pythium in a bottle. may have been a bad batch, but is the direct cause of me going back to perlite/soil and leaving aero altogether. avoid hygrozyme, use something with a better history like cannazyme.

you can do clones in a very small area. i can fit 120 clones in a 2x3 clone box. shoe boxes work very well for smaller numbers ;)

pull out what you can and use an enzyme product to dissolve the rest of the dead root matter. veg seedlings separately from now on, and do clones together in hydro, then you have nothing to remove, and nothing to worry about :)

i do 8'' center to center, veg to 12'' and flower.

the time it takes them to go from small visible balls to open flowers is usually about 14 days. short window, but you have time to be certain ;)

males develop flowers (balls) which grow and mature and then open into pretty little yellow flowers. if you cut when balls are just showing, none of the flowers are mature. they have to open to drop pollen, and females won't be pollinated unless they do.

32f is when things freeze.

that, or bigger... or smaller.... :p. at least one node removed on the stem and burried, at least one node above soil to grow from. larger slips usually take a day or so longer to root, but have the advantage of being larger and more developed after rooting. small slips will root really fast...

directly to dirt is fine, and just as easy/efficient. however, you can easily transplant freshly rooted clones to soil from the ez cloner. your choice, do what's easiest for you.

it really is; that's why you'll see and hear about a lot of "unknown" strains that look fabulous.... the work is done, but the breeder can't get them out there.
