Right so with all the debate raging regarding LED panels I figured I should do a journal. Strains: Nirvana bubblicious and super skunk clones taken from two mothers of each. Lights: 2 x 500w Blackstar UV panels 2 x 54w T5 HO 6500k (Helps keep the temps where I like em) Media: Mothers -...

Don't worry about counting weeks of flowering. Especially if you are growing plants from seed or from multiple mothers, as different phenotypes will be present and thus the plants will mature at varying rates. Get a scope and watch your trichs, it is the best way to insure proper harvest time.

When making decisions concerning particular grow techniques logic is your strongest ally. You say your friend tells you that cutting the fan leaves during flowering will increase bud production? First question in your mind should be why? Lets logically examine this claim: Bud production requires...

Can clones from a established mother turn into herms? Basically I want to know if herm is a genetic trait or a mutation that occurs on an individual plant basis?

Has anyone used the sunlight supply HPS bulbs? They have a 400w HPS grow bulb rated at 140,000 intial lumen rating. The hortilux 400w HPS is 145,000 intial lumens at over 3 times the price. Anyone have any experience with the sunlight supply? Im really thinking about ordering some for 20 bucks a...

Well after doing a little research i found that the MH bulbs sold at 1000bulbs.com for commercial lighting are around the 4000k range. I assume the bulbs sold at lowes and home depot are near the same range. As I understand heat ranges between 3000-4500k are of little use for plant growth. Am I...

My question is concerning the light output of metal halide fixtures. I have been using a T5 for my mother room, I am switching to metal halide. Are the bulbs sold at lowes and home depot suitable for vegging? I already had a 175w metal halide fixture so I wired it to one of hoods but I have no...

My spelling and are grammer are horrible but I am in a huge hurry lol.

I have made many cool tubes they are very simple. I will explain how I make mine and maybe if I get time post some pics. I start with an 18 in piece of 6 in PVC. I measure a 4in slit along the back 14 in long leaving 2 inches of space on either end and a 4 in strip in the back. Then I use a...

Thanks for the info. Im not much on experimentation and was wanting a definitive answer.

So I am running a 4x4 flood and drain SOG grow using 6inx6in net pots filled with hydroton. Previously I was rooting clones in rockwool cubes with a heating mat. I have now built an aero cloner with the neroprene sleves and am wondering how to transfer from the aero to the hydroton with out...

Yeah i just dont want to wait. I am doing some reasearch now on temp ranges for plexi. I think I can get it to work just fine, hopefully. If worse comes to worse I will make a new reflector one of the percs of working at a fabrication shop lol.

what kind of light are you using? Fluros I assume? You need to get the lights way closer you have quite a bit of stretching.

I have a 400w HPS i bought from HTG supply the hood is not air cooled I have modified it with a 4 in duct connected to the end of it which it connected to a 6 in inline duct fan to help pull heat away. This made a big difference but my room temps are still to high. My question is can I attach a...

I am using two 400 cfm inline fans for exhaust i have one pulling air directly off the bulb and the other pulling air from the top of the chamber. I am currently exploring ways to lower the heat and am considering getting a cool tub reflector but I think a few oscilating fans might do the trick...

I was wondering about that. I am not overly happy with the growth rate either. i had planned on running 18/6 for a week or so prior to flowering. I also plan on adding a oscilating fan to give more air movement in hopes of beefing up the stems. Any input on possible yeild based on personal...

I am not a commerical grower I do have some experience and am planning my own large scale grow. There are many factors you need to consider. Do you want to concentrate your efforts on a smaller number of very large plants with larger harvests coming less frequently or do you want to have a...

If i were in your situation I would tie a weight to the top of the plant to pull it over and leave it that way then start F.I.M.ing the plant which is what they mean by pinching the heads out. Do not top it this late in veg as it will affect the size of your cola bud. Look under the adavnced...

Just looking for some input on my setup this is my first grow under HPS. I have a 400w hps closet room with 9 nirvana pure power plant fems going. Wanting to see what you guys think the harvest potential for this grow will be and how long you think I should veg for. All the plants were just...

I use an 8in inline duct fan. They are availiable at home depot or lowes and flow 500 cfm and only cost 30 bucks. Cant beat it.
