    How do you know if a plant is done w/o microscope?

    As long as their is sufficient lighting it should work fine. Only problem is you got such a small view and have to almost squash the trichomes to see them in focus.

    is a 250w CFL not enough?

    It's a pretty tight area. About 2' by 2' by 5.5' (it's a Homebox XS). I'm doing 8 plants (I just bought and transplanted the clones today). I'm only gonna let them root for and veg for a week or so then switch to 12/12. I plan on lollipopping all of them, since CFL's don't penetrate the canopy...

    is a 250w CFL not enough?

    Hey all, I have two grow rooms but due to some "home improvements" going on I had to shut down the larger grow room with a 400w HPS. for the next month or so I only have my Homebox XS with a 250w horticultural CFL in the 2700k range for flowering. Looks like this one: Is this not...

    How do you know if a plant is done w/o microscope?

    your camera is your best bet. change setting to Superfine, and use the largest size photo possible for your camera. In macro mode, take as close a shot as you can, then check the results on your computer. This always works for me. I never use a microscope anymore.

    Foliage has all turned yellow, but not done flowering yet.

    Agree with others, probably a lak of nitrogen. However if it only has 2 weeks to go I wouldn't give them any Nitrogen. At least when all the leaves yellow and naturally fall off you end up with a smoother and sweeter smoke. just my experience.

    Definitely, but if it you have a very small grow are an HPS will roast your plants while potentially increasing humidity and risk of fungal infection.

    150watt hps or a shyt load of cfls??? +rep

    for me it really depends on your grow space, ventilation, temperature and humidity control, etc. The only problem with an HPS is the heat output, which could ruin your harvest. I have two grow rooms: a Homebox L with 400w HPS and a Homebox XS with a 250w CFL. I tried to put a 150w HPS in there...

    what's everyone's favourite roach style?

    OK, so I'm almost done with the joint (well quite a few hits left) but I don't wanna get that lip burn. I pull out the roach a little bit: then twist the roach and voila! I can smoke that joint to the very end without getting my lips or fingers burnt.

    LOL I know what you're saying. I'll tell you what: I'm gonna roll and smoke one until the roach, then show you how I avoid that problem with some visual aid ;)

    what's everyone's favourite roach style?

    Or in my case, real potheads grow organic and can smoke a joint until there's nothing left without the "roach" tasting like shit :weed:

    what's everyone's favourite roach style?

    Well i've only ever rolled joints with roaches/filters. Some of my American friends (I live in Switzerland) always rolled without and I just didn't like that shit because a) the tip gets all soggy and disgusting b) shit keeps getting into your mouth. c) the joint just isn't as "solid", if that...

    Changing skin/theme?

    Hey all, it's been a while since I've been on RUI. I noticed the new skin, but can't find a way to switch back. Has the option to change the forum skin/theme been disable or is it just me?
