    Lighting question (Extra lighting from below).

    Update! I have removed the CFL as its confusing my lower leaves. they are twsiting and facing down towards the nearer CFL and the extra light has made little or no difference to the lower buds.

    Lighting question (Extra lighting from below).

    thanks greenweed! think i might just leave it there! next time i think i'll get a 600W HID. i started this gro in a .8x.8x1.6m tent but the sativas got too big so I had to change up. think 400w is too small for 1x1x2m space. billyblunt, why would my weed taste like shit if I leave that 250CFL...

    Lighting question (Extra lighting from below).

    Thanks guys, need all the help I can get! greenweed, thanks for the piece of mind, ideally I think I need to upgrade my 400W HID to a 600W version. I started this grow in a smaller tent (.8x.8x1.6M) but my silver haze just go too big. billyblunt, not sure how adding that light will make my weed...

    Lighting question (Extra lighting from below).

    Thanks for that, at least I know adding my 250W CFL to the base of my plants isn't going to cause any problems! harvesting in sections is of great interest to me, never heard of it. this is only my second grow so i'm still learning. I presume you mean just cut off the mature buds and leave...

    I have 2 Silver Haze & 2 Trainwreck growing pretty well under a 400WHPS. I am in week 4 of flowering and the plants are pretty bushy. The majority of bud sites are at the top of the canopy but there are quite a few buds developing low down in the shade of upper fan leaves. Will putting my 250W...

    Yellow tips, please help a novice.

    yeah, youre right about clearex, rang a few places, never heard of it. I'll order it online. i was reading the plant problems section of the grow Faq and it looks like potassium defiency. this is normally caused by lockout which in turn is caused by over ferting. thing is, ive been VERY careful...

    Yellow tips, please help a novice.

    Thanks rolla. I'll get into a garden center to see if i can get some clearex. Also, if PH is an issue, how the hell to you sort that? i know there is a recommended ph level but how do you adjust the levels in your water? I presume there are 2 products you can add to increase or decrease the PH...

    thanks to you both for putting my mind at ease. its only my second grow so I'm not confident enough yet to change shit up too much. ive heard the hand test before in relation to flowering with 400w and up, but wasnt sure if seedlings were any more sensitive. now, youve said it, makes perfect...

    Seedlings under 250W CFL.

    Just a quick one really. For my last grow I used a 125W CFL to sprout my seedlings. They stayed under this light 24 hours a day for 2 weeeks before I transplanted them to bigger pots & 400W HPS. This time I have a 250W CFL (my 125W got smashed & my local shop only had 1 250W). Is it ok to use a...
