    Finally: My HOMEBOX L!

    so the air blows out of the filter? makes sense; especially for height restrictions in the Homebox.

    Finally: My HOMEBOX L!

    That's f'in impressive; especially for a first grow! (by onions you do mean ounces right? Sorry i'm used to the metric system). I'm hoping my girls will give me at least 8 oz in total. I'm also using a 400w HPS, so your results are my new benchmark LOL what did you grow btw? s

    Finally: My HOMEBOX L!

    thanks onehundred. I agree though that most of them are too small (especially for commercial growers) BUt i'm quite happy with mine. I should be able to produce enough bud to last me 2-3 months at a time, so hopefully long enough to last from one harvest to the next. I'm already thinking of...

    sandmonkey's 1st grow: NLX and BubbleGum

    pistils have been growing nicely, and plants see to be loving the newly switched nutes. I added just a few drops (like 10% of recommended dose) of the Veg nutes and gave them quarter strength of the flowering nutes (CANNA Terra flores and CANNA Boost. will add PK 13/14 to the mix later)...

    Question about pistils

    yeah, first pic was from 9 days into 12/12 and the 1st day of flowering AFAIK. I'm growin 5x BubbleGum and 5x NLX (Swiss name for Northern lights x White Widow) from clones. They both seem to have the same growth rate, which is perfect since I need to harvest them at about the same time, since...

    Question about pistils

    Hey I'm also on my first grow and my girls have been getting HAIRY! the ones closer the light are growing a lot pistils, which should equate to larger buds hopefully :weed: The pics show the amount of progress in 3 days (ignore the Mg def). Good luck with yours!

    what do you think are the strongest indoor strains?

    I haven't smoked too many strains so I can't say what is THE strongest (depends also what type of high, etc) but in my limited experience, one strain stands out (not talking about taste or smell, just potency) and that would be Ice. The highest (or lowest rather) I have ever gotten... :weed...

    what do you think are the strongest indoor strains?

    I find White Rhino average in every way. I live in Switzerland so it's not uncommon here.

    sandmonkey's 1st grow: NLX and BubbleGum

    Well it's been about 10 days since i switched to 12/12, and already I think i'm seeing some budding! :clap: I'm happy that the Bubblegum and NLX are developing at roughly the same rate, but it's obvious that the NLX are a bit taller. enough text... pics :weed:

    Can I flush with Molases?

    +rep Xare, thanks to a similar reply of yours on another thread, I've stopped using molasses in my grow (chemical soil). It really is pointless, especially when flushing. I hope to try it out once I go organic. Thanks again Xare

    Harvesting time soon

    it's supposedly normal for plants to be a little N-deprived during flowering, which would cause yellowing leaves. Not saying that this is absolutely 100% the reason, but it makes sense. good luck

    sandmonkey's 1st grow: NLX and BubbleGum

    Well, i've been away for a couple of days. I watered the plants on Friday right before I left, where I trusted nothing would go wrong and the electronic timer would keep doing it's job. To my horror I returned on Monday to find that the electricity in my grow room was off, and the circuit...

    Growing indoors with the HomeBox S Need Help

    Hi, I have a Homebox L and am using a 400w HPS with analogue ballast (had to the wiring myself). I like the first option, as you have the option of both types of lights. But if you need only one light the HPS will be much better than the MH. I'm not using a cooled hood or cooltube...

    Molasses?

    apparently the benefits of using molasses can only work in an organic medium. The plants need microorganisms to break down the molasses so that the roots can absorb the good stuff. Otherwise, you're just adding minerals to the soil. I hope that this isn't true, as I really wanted to you...

    Yellow leaves? Solution?

    I thought this was normal just before harvest; especially considering that you've been flushing. BTW that purple goodness in your avatar looks insane! :weed:

    what would you do if you were in my shoes?

    true. Actual flowering takes several days to start after switching the lights to 12/12.

    Overwatering

    I haven't seen a pic of the plants so I can't say, but you might wanna flush with (proper pH) water. Try to test the pH of the runoff as well.

    Overwatering

    why don't you just get a pack of paper testers? Even though I live in a country with one of the purest and cleanest waters, I find slight fluctuations in pH from day to day. 5.5 is way too low! you're plants are probably suffering from nute lockout because of this. adding more nutes will only...

    Overwatering

    are you testing the pH of water/nutes before adding?
