CFL's look too fat away. 1-3" is ideal fpr CFL's. Lose the reflectors and get them right down to 1-2" above plants. They will love it.

I like to just brown paper bag them, as I do my manicuring. Every couple days just shake the bag a little to stir them. They dry up nicely. Then add them to your butter, hash, or whatever.

Germinating straight in the dirt works for me. If you have it use a light seed starting soil. If not, just thin your soil with a little perlite or vermiculite. Warming the soil increases germination too. I use a cheapie window seal heat mat and put the seed in a small plastic cup. I water the...

Yes wait it out. I have given up on seeds....used that same soil in other pots. And weeks later they sprout!

Look up botanicare sweet products, they have extracts and esters that enhance the natural flavors in some strains. I use the sweet raw product, as it is neutral and doesnt change the natural flavor, while providing the carbs needed.

I just picked up a bag of vermiculite. I was going to get perlite until I saw it was fortified with miracle grow nutrients! My question.....is it ok to use vermiculite to thin out my soil and make it drain better..... just like perlite? I use happy frog and ocean forest, which already has a...

I am pretty sure that is the same Xen Lux LED Ufo that I had! Post pics. Yea, I had no idea what LED bleaching was until I got the UFO to close over tops! Luckily I caught it quick. Just remember to watch how your leaves and plants react. Also rember to adjust as plants grow up. No one can tell...

Actually my first LED was a 135 watt UFO from ebay. Apart from its size, it worked surprisingly well. Good penetration. Be sure to keep a tape handy and measure distance from tops to light, weekly. LED's will bleach, crinkle, and damage if too close! Since you have the UFO, you may consider...

I also supplemented with 4 100 watt 5000K cfls. When I used the spinner with both types of H350s and 4 H150 purples things got crazy in veg! Cheers, Mo Oops. Sorry. Didn't mean to call it "short" just meant to say it didn't look at strechy.

I have had a little LED bleaching. Doesn't look like that. More like someone dripped bleach down on plant. Whiter spots. Seems like something else.

Just added fan speed controller to mine. Much quieter.

So you vegged with a magenta and the more red spectrum? I always thought that would cause more stretch but she looks short and bushy like I like. Do you think it makes much difference?

Yes a single H150 purple is sufficient for a 2 sq.ft. area. I got one for $60 shipped on ebay once. I think 70 and up is a bit high. You may as well get a new one over $75 ;-) I do think you could even flower a smaller plant with a H150 alone. You may want to opt for a magenta H150 instead...

Here is a three week old bagseed given a strict regimen of one lone Kessil H150W blue light from sprout! Not bad for 36 watts of led. I will be moving the H150 out and replacing it with a H350 Deep Purple tonight, for some more intense vegging :-)

Funny pic i saw....

That light is fine for vegging only. I went to led because of the daily cfl adjustment battle, and high temps. Now I use a Kessil H350 Deep Purple to Veg. Then add an H350 Magenta to finish flowering. My first led was a 135 watt ufo off ebay for about a bill. It was great to just hang over tops...

I use Kessil Led lights. I also have a couple of 105 actual watt 2700k cfl's that I am using as heaters more or less. They help me get twmps up from 68 with led's alone to about 75.

Low humidity is fine. As long as it doesnt exceed 60 percent or so. I think temps are way more important. I was battling high temps as a newb with an army of cfl's. Now I battle low temps with mostly led, lol! Anywhoo just try and stay between 70-77

I gotta clarify watering is sooo important. I dont agree with the finger in the soil two inches method. Soil can be wet deep in the pot. Go by weight. I water well, and pick my pots up daily. A full pot feels heavy. A half full pot feels half heavy. A 1/4 full pot feels light but still has a bit...
