    Lighting efficiency question - Dimmable, Selectable, or regular Ballast?

    Would that apply to Lumatek's newer selectable ballasts also Chazbolin?

    When to switch to Flowering Nutrients?

    Mine personally would get a 4 on the smell scale right now, but send like they smell more and more everyday. I also have pretty good ventilation. If I turn my exhaust off the room smells delicious

    Ph of runoff in soil grow

    Is there any good reason to test the Ph of your runoff in a soil grow? I know it's good to check when u flush to make sure it's the same coming out as it was going in. But what does the Ph of your runoff really tell you during a normal feeding or watering? I did a plain water last time, and...

    When to switch to Flowering Nutrients?

    Hell thanks for the link, I didn't ever see that. Maybe that's why mine got bigger than the one they show & describe. Good info. Just seem weird not to give a young plant any nitrogen.

    Need experienced grower's opinion

    Don't get down on yourself man, if u got anything at all to smoke on or make some brownies u did just fine. My suggestion would be to try a soil grow next if you want to keep it really simple. Soil is inherently forgiving. How many plants do u see growing in hydroponics in nature? You were...

    Grow So Stealth, GF Can't Find It... Auto's under CFL

    @AP2K - glad your girls are doing well. Here are some pictures of the same strain (Nirvana Short Rider - Auto, Feminized). They are from day 45 and 43. Even though you started behind me, I will sub to this so I can see how someone else's grow turns out. That will help me decide if I want to...

    Auto's life-cycle

    Anyways, here's an update on how they're doing tonight: First off, the taller one is 43". I didn't measure the shorter one, but my guess is she's somewhere around 34-37" tall now. They are both pretty healthy - but they are a little stretchy. I'm not sure if that's the genes, or something...

    Auto's life-cycle

    @superjoint - Yeah next time I will keep the soil covered. I think I found my problem. I think the "green on top of the soil" was just a camera glitch. After I read that I looked closer at the picture I posted & I see what you're talking about. BUT when I looked at the plant in person, no...

    starting short rider autoflower next week-have questions

    I know this is old as hell, but did you ever grow these plants? Any luck? Looking for others who have grown this so I can get some opinions and see their pictures. I'm on day 45 or so, and curious to see where my plant stands compared to others its' age. Anyways - hope you're still around.

    When to switch to Flowering Nutrients?

    Here's what I've got so far as far as buds - they are still small, but starting to plump up and grow together... just not really seeing any trichome development. I know you won't see heavy trichomes until the last couple of weeks before harvest, but most every other plant I've seen has...

    When to switch to Flowering Nutrients?

    I think my plants are an exception to the rule. I haven't seen too many other Short Riders get as tall as mine have. I think some of it is because I chose 3 gallon pots. If I grew this strain again, I would go with either a 1 gal, or MAYBE a 2 gallon. I wouldn't reccommend going with bloom...

    Nirvana Short Ryder

    So - I don't want to hijack this thread, but I'm growing the same strain (that's them in my "avatar") and have a few questions. How tall did everyones' Short Riders end up at harvest time? Mine are at day 45 & day 42, and they are about 40" tall! That's much bigger than what I thought they...

    Short Rider Auto from Nirvana : First Harvest - May 2012 - 94 days from seed

    To you guys who have grown this before - I have a couple more questions (sorry to hijack the thread). When did you start to notice heavy trichome development? When did the "stretch" stop? My S.R.s are in 3 gallon pots, Happy Frog soil, Fox Farm Nutes, 250 watt HPS. They started showing...

    what is this on my leaves? nuts?

    I was just messing around about the bath-salts thing buddy... it's the first thing that came to mind when I seen that's what you were giving your plants. In all seriousness though, I really would go with just plain Ph Balanced water for a while, and then start slowly adding back the products...

    FTG some leafs turning lime green pics!

    ON A SIDE NOTE - - Something else you might want to research a bit about would be some type of "Bulking" fertilizer. These will supplement your regular bloom fertilizer, and really help to pack on the weight of those buds. I am using a product from Fox Farm called ChaChing right now - its'...

    FTG some leafs turning lime green pics!

    You're not feeding the plant much nitrogen if I read correctly. This means your plant starts feeding on itself to continue to survive and make buds. It's a natural response. I didn't see any spotting, or any necrotic looking tissue. I wouldn't change a thing except for your temperatures...

    what is this on my leaves? nuts?

    Not trying to be a dick - especially since I don't know much about growing outdoors - but why are you giving your plants bath salts? You want them to turn into zombies and eat peoples faces off? Just give them some good ole fertilizer - preferably from a reputable manufacturer like Botanicare...
