So just curious, but where do you live that you're so concerned about the power spike? If you live in the states, just pay your bill, on time, and don't steal electricity. I live on the east coast USA, in a state where mj is completely illegal in every way, and 2 years ago I ran a space heater...

Make sure the fan you get has a speed that is suited to your filter. You don't want the fan to be too strong for your filter, it will not filter your grow space air as well as it should. Conversely the fan also needs to be big enough to draw air through the filter and still have enough steam...

Wow I don't even know where to start. First of all, unless you are running a warehouse full of 1000 watt lights, there's absolutely no need for this set up in the first place. To deal with the electric company all you need to do is PAY YOUR BILL. Second, you are trying to use car batteries...

You could grow a plant in there. I don't think it'll reach its full potential, but you can grow in there. Everybody needs to start somewhere. Just add on and refine you setup as you go. My grow cab/closet has gone through several changes over the last couple years haha. More than anything...

So, how is your filter coming into play in all this? Is this ducting just for exhausting the heat from your light? I would try to keep all the same size diameter the whole way through. The more it changes, and especially if you have a lot of bends in the ducting, the more it will restrict...

When you flower, the more lights the better. 2700k, aka "soft white" is what you want to use for flowering.

Your plants shouldn't need any nutrients yet. Flush them out and don't worry too much about nutes for another week or two. Usually whatever is naturally in the soil is enough for them for a few weeks. And they do look a little small too for 36 days.

I do NOT use sugar. Nor plain molasses. If you research it a bit more, you will find that you should specifically use unsulfured blackstrap molasses. As previously said, you are feeding the beneficial micro-organisms, not the plant itself. When these organisms are fed, they multiply, and...

So...just to clarify, do you have it set up like Filter - Light - Fan or Light - Filter - Fan? That can also make a big difference. Also check everything and make sure you don't have any air leaks. If you need to slow down your fan speed a little bit, you can also put some bends into your...

That happened to me before too, when I grew out some bagseed. I think it was just the genetics, because I haven't had it happen to me since with any others I've grown.

I agree with kingofqueen, you need to get a good 30-60x microscope and check out your trichomes. The more amber they are the more of a couch lock stone you'll get. If the majority of them are cloudy then you'll get more of a cerebral high. Don't worry so much about the color of the hairs; its...

It's a male. Kill it with fire.

Yes, it's not too late to take clones.

x2 for ditching the miracle grow soil. Go to your local gardening center and pick up an unfertilized soil such as Gardeners Gold. I'm using it without any problems. Wait until the seeds are sprouted, planted into your medium, and then poking through the top of your medium before you put...

Looks good so far, however If you can swing it, I would invest in all cfl lights. Those 18" lights aren't helping too much anymore, and your plants already need much more light than what you are giving them. Personally I would use 4-6 6500k cfls for the 3 plants you have. Four right now and...

Sounds like you're looking for maximum yield. I'd recommend a scrog grow under a 1000 watt light. Most of your money will be spent on the light, air filter, and fans. I'm growing a traditional grow right now, but my next run will be using a scrog method, especially since I'm only using a...

It's looking good so far. First you should straighten out your intake/exhaust ducting. The more bends that are in it, the more it restricts airflow. Second thing is you are running out of space for the plants. These plants can grow pretty tall during flowering. Because of your somewhat...

Use both if you can, whether the cfl is 2700k OR 6500k. Don't use it if its ~4000k

I robbed this from another web site, but it should help you: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688 Over watering Over watering is one of the biggest mistakes new growers make, reason for this is, because they feel the need to give there plant everything and will overdue a lot of...

In a word....yes you could. I am running a 250 watt hps in a euro vent hood, and my plants tops are touching the glass on the hood, and they're not getting burned. The key is airflow - I am running a can filter on one end of the hood, and an inline fan on the other side. My entire vent/filter...
