    Slightly shimmery leaves

    I have noticed lately that the leaves on my plant shimmer with like almost a translucent gold color in the areas where growth is new and near to the stems. Does this look like a mild copper deficiency? Or is it just hydration in the leaves? This is my first grow and I've had some problems, but...

    100w DIY Build and Tips

    Thanks! We'll see how it works out. I came across this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007K2H0GI/ref=s9_hps_bw_g147_i1 This is about the highest quality part you can buy. If you go with this meanwell, you are paying double. ($44.00) but you could also probably drive 2 or 3 LED's at 80...

    100w DIY Build and Tips

    Yeah its only temporary. I'm going to buy a bigger psu and isolate the entire power unit outside the grow area. Just have the LED and heat-sink hanging inside.

    Also, for clones going immediately into 12/12. Can I get by with solo cups the whole grow? That would be sweet.

    Maximize efficiency!

    Thank you very much for bringing this up. Its something I hadn't really considered much, as all my plants are vegging now. I think I've found everything I need to make one of those pencil holder ones to make an emergency DIY one. But in an absolute emergency I found a local shop selling a 4 inch...

    yesh this is my question as well. And thank you for the answers! Seems like everyone is recommending going directly to 12/12 in a SoG Do you guys think i'm going to be using all my space up harvesting that fast? I was assuming 2 weeks of veg just cause I feel like I can right now. I feel...

    Shit really? Even outside the house? Its in the 2nd story bedroom closet. I'm not worried if it smells in my room or even at the base of the stairs/living area which is at the back of the house. I just don't want the smell to reach the from door.

    Also Gotta be careful on the heat, from what I hear, there are heat cameras on helicopters around this area. I love the 100w leds, because they look like computers on camera, and cfls don't even show up.

    Maximize efficiency!

    Stealth is definitely necessary, but pretty good as it stands, the closet is actually huge, about 2x12x10 with 2 sets of those folding doors. So really I could ventilate into the other space and cover the 2nd closet door with like a tapestry or large painting and you'd never know it was there...

    Maximize efficiency!

    Currently, The space I have to grow in is a closet roughly 2' x 5' x 6' (tall). I have divided the closet into 2 spaces (one 2x2 and one 2x3). The larger space is for veg, running 6 cfls in there on a 20/4 light schedule. the smaller space is for flowering, with a warm white 100w LED COB...

    Weird Issues

    I'm excited about this! I trimmed a few of the least healthy leaves from the top of the canopy to open up light for new growth. Once at least 4 or 5 of the tips down there have grown to about 3" I'll flip it over to flower if everything looks good with spacing

    Oh lawdy she is looking so pretty! I'm getting in a groove, I'm going to have to water it every day with as fast as the soil dries, but now its just a matter of dialing in how much water to give each time. Look at that canopy! I'm in love

    You guys are gunna love this. I pruned off a few branched in the woody part of the stem. I figured I'd give them a shot and fashioned a miniature bubble cloner.

    Yeah but you can get the warm white ones same price. I've done some research, these china COB's are apparently not bad. Not going to be getting a full 11,000 lm from them, and they aren't going to last as long, but for the price its hard to beat it. If I were to upgrade and go for a fancy LED...

    Weird Issues

    I just described the setup in the last post, as for the climate, the temp doesn't feel to be much different than room temp which is around 75F Most likely a bit dry, but not like a desert. I have ordered a meter for both, but I don't have it yet.

    OK so here is another set of pics about an hour after watering. Also, note that the plants aren't as yellow as my camera and the cfl bulbs are making it look. Ok so this is a pretty good view of how the leaves look most of the time, they will perk up a bit more as the soil drains a little...

    Thanks! So that picture was taken BEFORE watering. I think perhaps the leaves were looking a little droopy cause i'm waiting a bit longer than I should to water, trying to dry the soil out a little. I just watered it actually, about an hour ago, let me put up some more pics....

    Yes, but I was under the impression that after the FIM or whatever I did, technically they are now all axillary. In any case, my question is does length only come from the tip, or does the entire stem continue to grow (in length) I mean its obvious not everyone on here is a douche. You've been...
