    BudBox Grow Tents

    I haven't used that brand but they look nice. I got a 5'x10' from gyosupplies for veg and it's worked out great. My only complaint is that is only opens form the front, a side door would be nice.

    Cooltube, blow or suck?

    Either can work but it's more efficient to pull the cool air in than to push it through.

    can you put a window AC unite in a closed room ?

    You wouldn't want a window unit just venting into your room, you'd be pumping enough hot air into the room to cancel out the benefit of the cool air. For AC go with a portable unit that you can duct the exhaust out of the room, or a mini split like the one you found on ebay.

    can you put a window AC unite in a closed room ?

    The mini split style AC units are two pieces. You have the main base unit which typically sits outside, just like a large central air conditioner. It's connected to the cooler which you place inside. That's a pretty good deal, I was considering one a few months back but didn't see any under...

    Topping: head to head comparison?

    Scrog is screen of green, where you train the plant under a screen to keep all the budsites at about the same level. You end up with a nice canopy of buds instead of one big cola. During the first few weeks of flower the plants will keep growing or stretching. Topping/fimming can help get...

    To deseed or not to deseed, that is the question

    Good advise imo. Before I started growing for patients myself I used to go to a few local dispensaries. One of them was selling "Premium Seeded" for about 50% less than their usual prices. It was still really good stuff, and I felt like I got a deal. If they hadn't told me about the seeds or I...

    Growing Mothers for Cloning Purposes ???

    You can definitely speed it up and lower the mom count by switching to hydro. Make sure your environment is optimized too. I agree with chusett, you'll have better results taking the cuttings over a span of a few weeks than all at once, much easier for the mom to take on that stress and keep...

    how would i flush my plants in a scrog setup??

    Yep, that's exactly what I had to do. I run a scrog with each plant in a small pan of it's own and in it's own frame/screen (yay for modular). For normal feeding/watering it's excellent, but I had a few Kali Mists getting too much nutes and I had to flush them out using the turkey baster method.

    do i need a $80 res.?

    If you want a combo of sturdy, cheap and big, I really like the Rubbermaid Stock Tanks. They come in a few sizes/shapes, but certainly not for everyone. http://www.idealtruevalue.com/servlet/the-14291/Detail

    FIM-ing question

    If she is still stretching you can, but I always try to do my topping/FIMming in veg. If she's still fairly flexible you might try a bit of training to increase your yield instead. Normally the tallest/main cola will get the biggest, but if you train the tops so they are horizontal/even with...

    Growing Mothers for Cloning Purposes ???

    Soil in my experience is slower than any type of hydro. If I were trying for really big moms and lots of cuttings I'd probly go DWC, top/FIM early so she's nice and bushy by the time she gets big.

    How do I switch from Flower to Veg?

    I've taken clones from a flowering plant and re-vegged them. Do a search for 'monstercropping' - I think that's what the technique is informally called. I did it mainly to experiment and the results were interesting. It did add several weeks to veg because the clones had to get back into veg...

    7 weeks into flower (pics!!)

    Mmm, looks nice. Get a loupe and check the trichs, I usually like to flush when just a few are going amber. They tend to put on a lot of their weight in the last 1-2 weeks, so avoid cutting early if you can, really depends on the strain.

    At what point do the leaves turn yellow b4 the buds swell or after?

    Depends on the strain, but in the last 2-3 weeks it's normal to have fan leaves start to yellow and drop off. This will accelerate when you start to flush. If it's earlier on and the whole plant seems to get pale green then start to yellow, it may be a sign it's not getting enough nutrients...
