Haven't ever seen an X-Mas tree rotator. I'll have to look around and see if I can find one. That might be better than the microwave turntable - and less hassle. Not sure that the microwave idea would support the weight of a 5 gal bucket filled with soil & the plant. Been thinking about it...

SO.... This may sound retarded, but bear with me. I've seen some really nice set-ups where people are using light movers / track systems so that their plants get nice, evenly distributed light. My grow area is not nearly big enough for all that. I'm just growing 1 plant at a time under about...

I wasn't really worried about the money. I know that sounds like I'm a snob or something, but the way I rationalized it for myself, was that $39 is a small price to pay if it works as well as it claims to. Just wanted a long term storage solution. Anything that lets light in will degrade the...

Well I'm sure it will be a nice birthday for you, LOL. Funny how things work out.... My wedding anniversary is at the end of this month, which also happens to be when I plan to chop. SOOO... I may be sleeping on the couch for my anniversary, but I'll be too baked to care, LOL. Just...

Thanks. Good luck to you too. I hope things don't go as planned for you though... I hope they are BETTER than you could have anticipated. I'll try to remember to check in with ya sometime closer to the end of the month & see how it finished up! Peace.

Ohhh... speaking of Harvest - I started this thread off by asking how long it looks like I have left until Harvest Time. I found the calendar I was looking for, and may be able to answer my own question, LOL. Sprouted on Feb 8th. Vegged for 57 days. Started Flowering on Apr 5. First...

Yeah, that's exactly why I was thinking about rotating the plant. It might end up being more trouble than it's worth, but could end up being the most awesome thing I've ever done. The important thing is, I don't think I can hurt anything by trying. I'll let you know when it's set up & send...

Thanks for confirming that... If you read some of the CFL forums and check out other's CFL set-ups, mine isn't too far off. The majority of my lighting comes from the top, and I have a few on the sides. Another beautiful benefit to using CFL's is that they don't emit much heat AT ALL...

I know you're not trying to knock me. Hell the way I see it - the best setup is the one that works for me. And this works for me, LOL. So I was reading through your journal grow and see where someone chimed in about you maybe "under lighting" your 5x5 tent. He said that you are at 40 watts/ sq...

Flourescents don't seem to penetrate very well to get light to the middle of the plant and the lower limbs. With the CFL setup I've got going, I can have lots of light up top, and also kind of "inject" light into the spots that seem lacking with just some simple clamp fixtures that you can pick...

So... I ordered some more lighting, and some adapters... I am going to do this right, for if you plan on doing something - what's the point in half-assing it?? Just got (2) 2700K, 105 watt, 7140 Lumens & (2) 6500K, 105 watt, 5040 Lumens Which will bring my grand total to 757...

Hopefully this is the correct place to post this thread. I stumbled across a site called HERBPRESERVE.COM and found some curing/stash jars that looked pretty decent. Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with using these? I ordered their "Purple Kush" 1OZ jar and they are...

So I made a mistake in an earlier post about the lighting I'm using. I was trying to recall from memory, but obviously short term memory isn't my strong suit. She's currently under: 2700K Color Temp CFL --- (3) 55 Watt, 4200 Lumens 6500K Color Temp CFL --- (4) 23 Watt, 1450 Lumens 4' T12...

Just a thought... can you mount one of your CFL's on top shining down, and the other on the bottom pointing up? I see people use side lighting all the time, don't know why putting one in the bottom of your little "reflective tube" you built would hurt anything. It doesn't look bad, but think...

Well, it's an Auto-flowering strain, so I'm not going to switch the lights to 12/12. Atleast I don't plan to. Everything I've read about this particular AUTO is to VEG & FLOWER on 18/6.... no need to change it up. That was part of the appeal to me. Something that would still flower in 18 hrs...

Thanks - that's what I'm reading now. There is so much info on this site, but it seems you can't get anyone to agree. I just try to pull bits & pieces of stuff that seem to make sense to me. Plus stuff that seems "undisputed" lol. Another question I have, and I guess I'm hi-jacking my own...

Thank you! I am ok with it. Learned a lot I guess. I went with CFL's due to space constraints - it had nothing to due with cost, believe me. I really do want to do it right - and I figured that being as how I only had a small closet to work with - CFL's and regular flourescents were my only...

Thanks again for your responses...

Also - is there any way to tell from the picture I posted if this looks like a Sativa dominant or Indica Dominant plant?
