    Wrong to grow in moms house?

    I will assume growing mj where you live is illegal. Ill also assume mom wouldn't approve. Hate to point out the obvious, but 1: growing even 8 plants take more room than you'd think. 2: Lets dabble into plant food. Plants use light for food. Lights take electricity. To produce enough weed...

    My GrowRoom - Any tips?

    I agree, a thermometer is very nice. I have a wireless i found for less than $20. It has become invaluabe as I try to install more lights in my tiny cabinet. Since my main room has been stable for a year, I just use a cheap $2 in there. Have you considered a simple ebb and flow ponics setup? I...

    My GrowRoom - Any tips?

    Get an aircooled reflector perhaps? The DIY cooltube (bakearound) is perfect to house a 400hps. Not near the hood as a Good quality $150 version, but will suffice. I used a cheap cpu fan to cool it. You can buy a sheet of that siding insulation for cheap, and use the white side of it to make...

    good or bad idea to light with cool white fluorescents?

    I did try a bank of 4 of those 4ft floro tube fixtures. It covered a lot of room, but for as bright as it was, I saw extremely poor results. I tried using small 26w ho t-5 bulbs. I was hoping to run (4) 24" tubes in a small 18"x30" cabinet. My grow before this, I was hanging 26w cfl's...

    What tool do you use to check the trichromes?

    30x jeweler's loupe from ebay. $5 shipped or so. Anyhthing less than 30x's too hard to see. Anyhthing way too much, and hard to retain focus. I look at the trichs whiile on the plant. If I've had poor light penetration, I harvest in 2 cycles. The top half, then wait about 4 days for the...

    Discount Advanced Nutrients

    Old thread I know, But I gotta say. DAN is the man. I have ordered more than once from the company, and it was a breeze. ! shipment took a little longer (once) than expected (west coast to east), so I called. The woman at the desk was friendly, told me the shipping guy was at lunch and they'd...

    Lemon Skunk Smoke Report

    I almost completely agree with the first smoke report. My last grow included a couple of organic lemon skunks. In comparison to my other plants, the lemon skunk did stretch a tad more and yield a bit less. I wouldnt say a bad yield (indoors) at all, just not awesome. Being a new grower, I did...

    Help me before I loose her! Too much heat or too much hydrogen peroxide?!

    I use about ummmm a tablespoon per gallon of 3%, cept I use it in a stronger grade, so its around.... umm a few splashes per 15 gallon? Hell, I dunno, but it turns back into oxygen and I only use it when I first make my nutes up and buffer them. So much science involved, but my thoughts are...

    6weeks and nothing but troubles

    I ended up transplanting that into soil. Im not so sure its white widow. I was told it was, but the damn thing is very sativa like, tall and lanky. It has gone to veg and back, and into flower again, then pollinated at about 6weeks, then tossed back into veg. This little bastard is just one I...

    Vented hoods and vibration issues

    . Fan company explained to me that incresed noise happens when fan is running under it req. current. Has something to do with load and design of impellers. Went and bought a router speed controller today. Well, it did limit air noise, and I got the bulb to quit vibrating. Alas, when lowered...

    Vented hoods and vibration issues

    Turning the fixture around helped with vibration. Now the air comes thru the side w/o the socket, first. I would change my fan/filter setup, but the beams in the ceiling are very few and far between. Also, The ceiling is my hardwood floor upstairs where i sleep. Ive tried hanging the fan from...

    Vented hoods and vibration issues

    Good thing i never made it to the store. Im going to try the obvious : turn it around first. Only makes sense" tie the venting into the other side of the fixture". I'll try that first thing in the A.M. Thanks for all the advice guys. I knew that LEMON SKUNK was contributing to clouding the...

    Vented hoods and vibration issues

    Great advice, im going to buy a 90deg and a piece of straight to come off the motor. I'lll run a short piece of flex between the light and the hard pipe. Im sure I'll come up with some duct taped slip joint for the pipe too. As for the router. Going to get one this week. I think I'm good...
