    Going on vacation Need watering device

    What stage are your plants at? I could almost guarantee you 1 FULL week will be too long. I water my plants until 100% saturation EVERY time I water (water comes out the bottom of the pot) and they're good 4-5 days at the most... they'll be drooping in the 5th day. 7 days would be REALLY be...

    quick question!

    I should also mention, you asked if you should feed them every 2 days or 6 days? Since you got the water soluable kind, that means you could be watering them every 2 days? I think you should rethink that plan. It could lead to overwatering. The plant will grow VERY nicely if it goes through...

    quick question!

    I wouldn't say every DAY, but yes, everytime I water (which ends up being every 4th or 5th day). I did flush them before I switched to 12/12. Again, I think it's important to ramped up to what your see how your plant will react to your nutes and the concentration you're giving them. Again, I...

    quick question!

    It could vary depending on the nutes and the concentration you use. For vegetation, I used a 29-10-5 solution at 1 teaspoon per gallon. I fed EVERY time I watered. I watered once every 4-6 days. I'd let the plant really dry out between each watering, and then would water until the water seeped...

    Plant wont change to flowering - HELP!

    Be sure your room is as dark as possible during the dark period. It's not dark enough until you can't see your hand in front of your own face. Seriously. Pitch black, no interruptions.

    She's about ready 43 days **Update** What do you think?!?! (Pics)

    That all sounds pretty much dead on, man. I, personally, would harvest it today or tomorrow since I prefer a more cerebral high, which is what the cloudy tricomes are going to give you. At most, I'd want 25% amber, but this is a personal preference. 58 days is just over 8 weeks, and that's a...

    HPS give off more heat than equal watt MH right?

    I actually run both a 400W MH and a 400W HPS at the same time (side by side) and can confirm that the HPS runs noticably hotter. That said, a 1000W MH should still run plenty hot. You'll probably need some kind of cooling if it's not in a well ventilated area.

    Soil question

    You can save the 8-14-9 for later. That will be more useful during the flowering stage. I would just use the 10-8-7 you mentioned in the first post during the veg stage unless you get some other brand that has more nitrogen (the first number). Here is a good, SAFE way to do it: 1) Wait until...

    to gain higher yield?

    You'll be fine. The bud growth won't be as rampant as with an HPS, but you won't notice the difference until you eventually get the HPS anyway. For my latest grow, I've been using both a MH and HPS concurrently and getting fantastic results. However, it's interesting to see how the plants...

    FIRST GROW 400hps 7th week flower Blueberry+just started Northen Pride under 250hps

    Personally, I would wait longer (if you can). I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to flushing out the nutes. You don't want your plant to taste like fertilizer. Consequently, I'll stop nutes 2 weeks before harvest. That'll mean I'll have atleast 2 waterings for flushing, which...

    3 weeks into flowering. White Widow. Pics!!

    Thanks for the compliments. Well, my girls thank you anyway... :) Sure. I've been using both a 400 watt MH and 400 watt HPS concurrently. Probably a little overkill with only 5 plants, but remember I started with 10 and just one 400 watt MH didn't seem enough. I kept it on 20-4 and fed it...

    3 weeks into flowering. White Widow. Pics!!

    Everything in this thread is fictitous: 24 days into flowering to be exact. I'm really happy with the way it looks. I started with 10 plants and ended up with 5 girls. This is my first grow in 10 years and I've been dry for a long time, so I can wait for this to finished, but I'm not gonna...

    First grow in 10 yrs! And a question.

    5.5 weeks since they emerged from the soil. Wish I was home so I could get some pics up now. Most of them are about 2 feet. Can't remember this happening to me before. Usually the sex would be unidentifiable until I made the switch to 12-12. I'm thinking I might just pull the 2 out that look...

    First grow in 10 yrs! And a question.

    Ok, I was out of the hobby for a while, but now I'm back in. I decided to start with 10 WW. I had an older 400 MH and I decided to buy a 400 HPS to go with it. I'm going to veg and flower with both so I can be assured that the plants will have plenty of light. To make a long story short, I...
