    picking the buds off...

    You can get a pot from a store for like 99 cents, just do that.

    3 days of complete darkness before harvesting?

    I have read that the plants will freak out and pump out resin. So the bud will look dank as shit, but there will be no potency with the newly produced resin, so you wont get any more fucked up.

    would a 400 watt mh or hps lighting be to much heat for my closet

    If you dont get an inline cooltube and actively cool and vent the heat, your closet will heat to around 120-130 easy.

    Found plant

    ITs never ok to steal someones shit, but if some dumb whore could find the grow area while hiking, its VERY likely that others have seen it and possibly reported it to the police. Of course its wrong to steal it, but it might be a service almost to the guy growing, to figure out his shit is...

    secondary lighting ?

    You can never go wrong with a couple 26 watt daylight bulb CFL's. Throw them in there preferably underneath the canopy so that the undergrowth gets some light.

    Seedlings in need of assistance

    Looks like they need some more water, no more nutes until they are much bigger, and you should be good.

    My $3 Carbon Filter

    How long do you think they last? Do you think it would be a good idea to smash up the carbon to begin with to increase surface area?

    How can i eliminate smell!!! Cheap!!!

    Does the carbon filter reduce the airflow through the fans much. LIke would an inline setup with a cheap inline fan handle pushing air through a carbon filter?

    24/24

    24 hours off wouldnt be a good idea in any situation. The plant would think its gonna die and freak out, causing stress and hermie most likely. Some people turn lights off for a few days at the COMPLETE end of flowering to promote resin production. The plant thinks its dying so it pumps out...

    24/24

    What will happen will be that the plant will most likely die, and will almost def hermie. First, the 24 hours of light will tell the plant that the days are longer, and it will try to veg again, then the 24 hours of darkness will tell the plant that its dying. Nothing really good could come...

    Watt To Plant Ratio

    It really depends on how big the room is. If you are in a 3x3 room with a 1000w HPS, the plants are going to be getting a HELL of a lot more light then if you are growing in a 10x10 room. The smaller you make the room, and the more mylar or reflective material you place on the walls, the more...

    Best Reflective Tape???

    and expensive as shit. What do you need the tape for?

    400w hps???

    No, the reflectors are not 2 ft by 2 ft. A nice Euro reflector with inline cooling is about 19 inches long and 10 inches wide. Heat will be an issue, you will need inline fans moving at LEAST 250-300 cfm, as well as a fan blowing on the lens so that a pocket of heat doesnt build up above your...

    My First Grow

    at 3.5 months, you should be smoking your dope, not still growing it. 400 watts? That plant is seriously ill. I have plants triple that size in under 4 weeks, and that was only using CFLs.

    Sugestion Needed for lighting

    12 sq feet is pretty big, way too big to light with only a 250w and get good yields. Remember, you want about 50w a square ft, but more importantly, above 5k lumens a sq/ft. A 250w HPS has 28k lumens. 28000/12 = 2333 lumens sq/ft. You should either get a bigger light, or restrict your...

    1000w HPS power cost ?

    Would do 8 plants easily. You would get better yields with the 1000w, but the 600 would be ideal.

    No, its fact.

    48" fluor's vs. CFL

    Im sorry, but a lot of what you said is completely wrong. 1. Sure there is a heat issue, but that can be solved cheaply and easily with a cooltube. 2. They are around a hundred dollars from HTGsupply, how much do you think you spend on flouro's or CFLs? Very close, most likely a bit more...

    1000w HPS power cost ?

    Average where I am is 6 cents for the next couple months, 7 cents for the summer. 1000 watt lamp would cost this much if you pay 7 cents a KWH. 24/0 = 24kwh/day*30 days = 720kwh * $.07 = $50.4 dollars a month 18/6 = 18kwh/day*30 days = 540kwh * $.07 = $37.8 dollars a month 12/12 =...

    48" fluor's vs. CFL

    CFL's are better, you can place and concentrate the light more, and they are slightly more efficient. That said, neither is sufficient for flowering, and CFL's are by FAR more a pain in the ass.
