thanks zem, of course if i had wanted to go this route it would have entailed more work with a cool tube, ballast, cutting ducting and venting a rented closet...just not in the cards...i was trying to grow a simple starter crop here just to figure out some things but thanks for your input! all...

Thanks for the reply zem, I'm doing a cfl/led grow in a grow tent with dimensions 24" x 36" x 62".

I'm...

Ok, i'm looking at ambient humidities starting to climb meaning that i'm gonna need to make a decision on this real soon... would a mini-dehumidifier using peltier technology be enough to get the humidity in the tent with the closet closed down from ~80% back into the 60% range @ temps b/t...

Hey yall, So i'm in the middle of a closet grow with an earthbox in a tent. its the beginning of week 2 of flower; my temps are fine but my night time humidity is getting up in the 80s Damn! so my question is this: should i buy a small peltier dehumidifier (2 pint capacity) on the cheap, try to...

Good eye brownbear, a 65w 2700K cfl fell on that poor girl during a cleaning session :wall: ...i have since switched to chains instead of rope holding my lights but the advice i received was that it was nute burn (which i questioned)...the lights falling is the physical stress i was referring...

Hey all, I've received the advice to prune some physically stressed/nute burned foliage off of one of my girls; its only week one of flower for me but i'm not sure about pruning now because she's clearly already been under some significant stress and i don't want to the pruning to push into her...

thanks everyone, I'm using LED and CFL right now but this was a total "well its free, i could try it" kinda thing but most of you are saying hell no so I'm not gonna worry about it...i already have mylar so in that great old adage, "if it aint broke, don't fix it" be easy, Dr. J

So here's an interesting opportunity...My uncle is dismantling his old workout room which means he's getting rid of some mirrors. If I took these mirrors and got them cut to fit my grow cabinet can anyone foresee any serious issues using mirrors as the reflective siding of my grow cab? I'd think...

Yeah i've got ph Up and Down from when they were in hempys and i will definitely be doing this adjustment slowly over time...you think Lemon juice is safer or better than ph Down?

Really? You think this is root bound? I'd be surprised if the roots all exploded to such an extent in a week to fill that whole rubbermade and with the grow notes on white rhino from nirvana listing "able to plant close together" as a positive i'd be kinda disappointed. I've checked my pH and...

Thanks for the response...not sure if its physical damage but i checked the pH with a soil tester and its lookin like 7.4-7.5 after a few measurements so i guess i need to drop that pH...whats the least stressful way to drop pH i guess should be my next question...thanks a bunch snow, be easy, Dr.J

Can't figure this out and wanted to see if anyone else might have an idea...i'm in soil (FFOF) and i'm doing an earthbox grow with plants that were started in mini-hempys but got transplanted into soil...obviously (EARTH box). The leaves on one little lady are twisting, dry, have holes in the...

Not sure what's going on here. Doesn't really look like a deficiency as they've been described and photographed around riu and other forums. Looks most like mosaic virus stuff or some kind of pest or something. These are nirvana white rhino fem'd seeds germed in mini-hempy cups and grown out in...

wow, is it something i said? my posts rarely get replies, my journal entries never...did i miss something RIU? or just not a very likeable noob? whatever

pretty new around here and to growing so thanks for all the help so far RIU...just wanted to get some pics up to see what people think...this is an abandoned hempy grow to try out a homemade earthbox with CFLs. What's everybody think? for the particulars and history of how this grow evolved...

Hey MTGirl, Nice work this has been an entertaining and informative thread...i'm also newbish to this whole thing...just a quick question, and sorry if i missed the answer in the prior 7 pages but did you do a 24 or 36hr dark period before going into 12/12? I'm in that phase now hoping to...

Thanks for stopping by my journal K2, I like the simplicity of hempy and i'm definitely doing one with the osmocote oc+ next time i try, espescially looking at how awesome your grow has been! i'm transplanting my own girls into a homemade earthbox...schedule won't permit me to be there to water...

43 people and no one knows a thing?...im transplanting to soil asap then...until i have better environs for hempy plus money to spare on additives like cal/mag and a good pH/EC/TDS meter i'm sticking to soil

I wouldn't normally double post here and in my journal but i'm kinda stressed about this....these three girls are all looking like they're experiencing some kind of deficiency or something...saturday they went on only water, sunday they got 570 ppm (about 1/2 strength for this week---was told wr...

I've been using the ff bushdoctor microbe brew (so mycorrhizae) but this is my first hempy go-round so i'll let you know how it goes...my white rhino girls seem to be enjoying the microbe hoard though! be easy
