Here's the thing, when asking which is more forgiving you need to take into context the mind set of the average noob who wants to grow some weed. You can leave a plant in soil for a week without watering it, wanna give that a try with hydro?

It depends on what strain you're growing, you may be lucky and growing a strain where the females or males show first. I have God Bud and with this strain the males show themselves a few days before the females thus making it really easy to cull them out. Otherwise you wanna make sure you check...

That should work out great for you, just make sure you don't let it get too close. You only need to keep it a littttle bit warmer that room temperature. If you want to be extra careful you can put some plastic wrap over the top and put the light above it to prevent the soil from drying out and...

I'm with you on that one... I don't think the power is going to be your main concern. The smell of even a single plant could stink out an entire office.

All you need right now is a bit of heat under the cup. In terms of how much heat, think warm water. It's a good idea to stick it on top of a fridge/computer/heatmat etc anything that will give it a nice gentle heat from underneath. You may place a CFL light just above the cup if you like, but...

That's really if you're using many lights, I really can't see 3 1000W lights giving you too many problems in terms of electricity use. I also don't see them investigating power usage at such a location as the one you described, that kind of raid would be directed more at a residence. Personally...

Toolery on the highest level. Soil is MUCH more forgiving, there's no comparison is you're new to growing. That being said, the only weed that tastes better in soil is weed that's been grown in good soil. If you grow in some nutrient deficient thick soil your chances of getting a good root...

Anyone else have any input?

Alright it's a new grow journal and it's time to break out the new strains. 1) BC Mango (11 week flower pheno) 2) God Bud (10 females from seed) 3) Bubba Kush x Mango (my own) First off I'm running a 600W digital ballast with a HPS, then a 400W Lumitek ballast running a 400 MH at 6000K...

By the way I had the same thing happen to me for the first time this current harvest... don't worry about it just stick it back on 12/12 and make double sure there's no light interruptions. Expect the buds to be long and slender as opposed to fat and stubby.

Their light cycle was broken, those long single fan leaves are a dead giveaway of a flowering plant thats been revegged.

Yeah it's just literally the top. When it happened the plant shot off 5 or 6 new tops and that's the part of the plant that is now not finished. The bottom part seems to be pretty much done, no new growth, looks just like previous plants at harvest time. I've just never had this issue so I...

Ok, intermediate grower here. To be more precise, I've grown for several years but this is the first time I've had this problem... I was out working on the plants one night and it was getting a bit late so I turned the switch on the timer to "ON" instead of "auto" so I could work a bit later. I...

If you see any white hair whatsoever you've got a female(or hermie). If you can't see any white hair and it's just green it'll be an offshoot and your plant isn't ready to sex yet. Hope that helps!

You're good to go bud, just make sure you have it plugged into something that's grounded. A surge protector/power splitter would be your best bet since a lot of them have a fail safe switch if something goes wrong. I bought mine for 3.97 at Walmart so if you've got even a couple dollars i...

I finished a GH BK grow not too long ago and I wish I let it go just a bit longer. Even at 8 weeks it was absolutely delicious. The high was about right for 8 weeks... strong but not overwhelming.. this time I'm going to let it go a full 9 weeks.

I think he means 3 weeks until they start budding(3 weeks veg)... I hope! For finishing times it's 7-9 weeks for indica, 9 weeks + for sativa. I think TS might have gotten that confused.

Don't worry bud it's still early... lots of time to get that baby grown out! Hopefully it is a female, but I must agree that clones are the best way to start if you're looking for a quick pain free harvest! I've got 18 BC Mango seeds germed and waiting to be sexed under 12/12 from seed, I find...

Works great. They are magnetic so they'll make some buzzing but I have one for supplemental light while vegging with a MH for the added spectrum. I've also gone right through the whole process from germ to harvest with a single 150W HPS. Stick 1-2 small plants under it and don't let them get...

Genetics: 18 BC Mango seeds(private growers seeds, bcseedking.com), and 5 Bubba Kush clones(greenhouse, I love this plant) Ballasts: 400w Lumitek with super lumens + dual fuses, 150w magnetic Lamps: 400w Eye HPS, 400w Plantmax MH, 150w HPS I also have two fans, and my room is actually a shed...
