Light does not "drown out" other light. I am not sure I can fully explain it even if I felt like getting into the concepts of photon charge...but let it suffice to say that you aren't actually losing any light if you have one that "outshines" another. Its simply a matter of your sensors (your...

Your average power strip can handle 13 amps or so...on a 120 volt circuit that's roughly 1500 watts you'd have to pull before having to worry too much. You'd have to add a lot more cfl's than splitters will ever get you before you will reach any point where danger is a concern. If you use 4 per...

I'd be less worried about them getting killed than what might happen if some of that poison remains in the plant or on the bud at the time of smoking.

I thought it would be interesting for people to share their experiences of doing something "strange", or having unusual and amusing/interesting things happen during their grow. This actually opens the thread up to a lot of things. If you have a story about something you did that...

Leftover nutes can cause the popping and crackling, as well as causing the weed to burn to to a harsh black mess when smoked in a bowl.

If you have pistils, then you should be able to tell. Males don't have pistils. Hermies can have them...but then you should also see evidence of male pre-flowers as well.

Are you using nutes yet? If so, you might just have a tiny bit of nute burn happening, or if your water ph is off you can end up with similar leaf blotching. Out of curiosity, are you using a HPS light right now?

No idea why...but it sure look interesting.

Seeing as cocaine is a erythroxylum (coca) bush derivative itself, I imagine you could technically make "hydro-coke" if you grew the bushes that way. Probably some water that goes into the processing itself as well...can't say I've ever had the pleasure of growing the bushes or attempting to...

I'd go with Heath Robinsons flooded tube vertical grow setup and do 80+ plants at a time...then use the extra cash to buy a few asian kids to come and wire up some led lights and do all my gruntwork. I'd probably still have a few grand left over...if I remember right, the pieces for the flooded...

I know this is an old thread, but it goes along with some thoughts I had when switching from outdoor to indoor growing, and I figured I could shed some light on the subject. At the time, I was curious how much light could enter during my dark phase without messing things up, knowing that my...

Actually...if they are putting out 840lumens for 9W, that's not terrible. That's roughly 8400 lumens for the equivalent of 90w (You have to figure on some loss)...and I imagine you could stuff those little bastards right in on top of the leaves. Of course...you'd have to figure out a way to...

They look a bit like the crystals you can grow for gradeschool science projects...like so.... Not sure how it would work out to do on a plant unless it involved some kind of spraying...but its possible. If they are sugar crystals, I bet that will be one tasty bud. : )

I'll assume for a moment that you were attempting to use English...then I will hope to all that is holy, that it is not your native tongue. That being said, I still think you are an idiot Jaso420. The basis for your argument seems to be that your cousin dates an ex-cop. I can certainly see...

Side lighting is great man, especially if you are noticing problems with light getting to the lower parts of your big plant. I'd go with regular CFL's if you don't already have the shop lights, since they should be cheaper and will certainly be simpler to position, since you could hang and...

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that a guy with 31 posts is telling someone their problem was listening to someone with 90 posts? I'm not insulting you Greenguy78...but seriously...why even make a comment like that? It is tantamount to directly insulting yourself. Aside from that, last...

Hmmm...I guess in a way I can follow the odd train of logic he used...it sounds like he was trying to initiate flower early in an outside grow, when the sun itself was giving more than 12/12. Not sure why he'd use plastic bags, since light can get through them...but heat/humidity are likely to...

Unless you have a special fan that waters your plants, I don't see any possible way your fan would make your plants over watered. Keep in mind..under watered and over watered look pretty much the same. Ph issues can cause drooping as well. The fan is a good thing, because it not only...

I was curious a while back when i saw so many people suggesting to at least do 4 hours of darkness...yet, I wasn't convinced, so I started an experiment. On this particular grow I have been doing 2 days where I go 24/0, then on the third day I do 20/4, then cycle the whole thing back...

Yes, they can determine the difference between male and female urine at any lab...though I doubt it for any kind of "quick test" or home tests. I have no idea whether the stuff in the link works or not.
