    Hydro growing question

    I have a 6 gallon res and I flush it every 7 days, regardless of level. I use wal-mart brand distilled water. My pH stays about 5.5 all the time that way. I almost never have to adjust it. Now when the plants get taller, they drink almost a gallon a day. In those instances, I wait until...

    new reflector, need distance advice

    Hi all. Last week I upgraded my 250W MH Hortilux light with a new enclosure. I did have it in an Econowing, but I finally ponied up and got a Sunsystem Sunlight enclosure with the glass lens insert. I have it ducted for ventilation, as well. It is EXTREMELY efficient at keeping cool now that...

    Ionizers effectiveness

    I don't use one with my grow, but I've seen them used in industrial and commercial applications when I'm working. Most noticeably at a sewage treatment plant. They use them on the incoming air supply in the offices and control rooms. Takes the stench right out of the air. I have to imagine...

    Will they be wasted?

    Those are the pitfalls and the perils bro. You only grow one plant, you take the risk of it being male. You could grow one massive oak tree of a plant, but if it's male, it's all for shit. how big is your space, anyway? you might be able to grow more than you think.

    I got a feminized male?

    if it's only two weeks into veg, how do you know that it's a male? Besides, just because the seeds are feminized, that doesn't mean that some won't come out male. They say that in the catalog below the item description, I think.

    Im Ready To Flower But Im Using 3 13w Cfl Light Over Top Of A 2 Foot Plant -- !help!

    For starters, you need to check out the FAQ post at the top of this section and read about lighting. Do not use incandescent lighting. I mean, technically it does put out lumens, but so few that it's virtually worthless. Your CFL's will work. If you can spare some change, you might want to...

    Noob in need of a few Pointers for 1st grow

    About the filter, the cheapest one I could find is called the elf. Got it at Hydroponics | Hydroponic Supplies for about $45. It takes a 4 inch ducting. I've got an inline fan hooked straight up to it. Also, if you want to use the MH/HPS, you're gonna need a ballast. It won't work just...

    How many time do you check your plants?

    email468 made a funny...:mrgreen: Yeah, I check that shit several times a day. Before I go to work, on my lunch if I'm close enough, and at least 4 times after I come home. I have to agree though that they sometimes do better if I leave them alone. Alas, I'm afraid something might happen to...

    First time, big problem

    give 'em some time, they'll come around. make sure you don't make too drastic a ph change at once. What is the ph of the water you use BEFORE you put it in and add everything?

    What now

    Yeah, it's in full on bud. At this point it's gonna do it's own thing. If you haven't been paying it attention, how did it start budding? Did you change the light cycle or something?

    Shipping seeds through US mail

    The past few years I've worked at one of the big parcel shippers during christmas for extra money. Us part time guys do "sorts", where you literally sort packages down different paths when it comes of the big trucks. I don't know about it coming from internationally to it's port of entry, but...

    Will it Smell??????

    i wouldn't say it smells. such a harsh word. Pleasant and unique odor is a good way to put it. :) Yeah, it's gonna smell when it gets big. Might want to look into some closet space like WWSS said. The thing to remeber is that you will get used to the smell. People who aren't around it or...

    Vegging, flowering and all that jargon

    Alright, I'll try to make it simple. Other people correct me or fill in the gaps if necessary. First, remember that marijuana is a plant, just like flowers and bushes and things. It is technically an annual, meaning it will die in the winter if it were outside in natural conditions. Now, you...

    Cant get my humidity above 18%

    i would by a cheapo analog meter at the store first before you spring for the humidifier. Make sure it's not a problem with the coil in your digital one. Also, I would go ahead and get a little room-size humidifier. They only cost about $15 dollars and they are much more efficient than the...
