It sounds like you got a nice setup going on there. Height is a bit limited but if you're keeping your girls short and bushy it should work out ok. I can't comment on the VHO lights other than to say I'd be concerned about heat. I ran a 4x6 T5 fixture in a space roughly same size but with an 8...

yeah, I'm not really sure what you're trying to say... my method works for me as I simply grow for my own pleasure. I don't put much stock in quantity either, but quality, when growing bagseed, is always hit or miss and until recently I only had bagseed to work with. I don't doubt your "meds"...

Attitude worked using cash and the 'tin'. No problem getting it through Chicago. That was last year. From what I've read, though, Herbies seems to be more reliable, plus they've got better freebies.

I thought I was...thanks sunni.

Seriously, no response on this?

I've found that 15/9 keeps a mother plant in veg, but since the grow time is shorter she won't grow as big as fast. Slowing her growth by reducing the amount of light time she gets seems obvious to me...maybe I'm wrong??? It wouldn't be the first time. It seems to work. But, for me it's not...

Slow? Really? How about answering my question? "What makes a 15/9 on/off light schedule a 'gimmick'?" Or, how about I simplify my original post for you... Here goes, in as simple English as I can manage, being as slow as I am... "What is the minimum amount of time the light needs to be on to...

Thanks for the advice BigSteve. However, what do you mean by 15/9 being a "gimmick"? With 15/9 on/off light schedule, this girl is growing nicely. Too nicely. Adding 5 hours of on time would only keep her growing too fast. She's outgrowing her box as it is. Not looking to put out mass...

What is the minimum amount of "on" time that a mother plant needs to keep from going into bloom? Right now she's on 15/9 but 14/10 would be better, I think. Trying to keep this purple dream mother alive but want her to grow slowly while we learn how to take cuttings. How long can a mother...

"No! Seriously your honor!!! It was just for personal use!"

If your plants are re-vegging at all, that's a good sign. I've re-vegged my plants for a second harvest several times now. I haven't gone beyond one re-veg per plant, however. I think that might be too much stress on the plant to re-veg it more than once. In my limited experience, revegging is...

Way back... Sat at an intersection, listening to some tunes, waiting for the stop sign to turn green. Kept wondering, "how fucking long is this damn light?!?!?!"

It seems that if you're using a Kindle HD 7" tablet the home page is displayed oddly when the tablet is in the landscape position. The Forum titles go vertical and get scrambled kinda like this: e G r a G n r a e l i j n o r u a w i n g M a If you click on a forum however, you can view it and...

Shilling for LEDs in the "Club T5" thread? Whatever. T5 are meant for growing shorter bushier plants or SOG or SCROG. The lamps don't penetrate like LED or HID. The light is spread out more evenly over a 2' x 4' area instead, assuming an 8 lamp 4 foot fixture. You could use side lighting to...

Maybe... You'll have to veg them longer though. 4 months, maybe more...unless they're growing super fast. Your going to have to top them several times and LST them to get more colas, too. That's why you'd want to go longer. And you'll need a large container of soil, say at least 5 gal, probably...

I use a big paper bag and let them dry out. Once dry they're easy to crush up and compost. The stems are cut up and composted too. My old potting soil finds it's way into planters in the yard. I used to bag 'em up and drop them in the trash at the gas station. But that felt to risky...

I suggest an 8 bulb 2ft. T5 florescent grow fixture. That is if you have the cash. In your space that would be the most cost effective fixture, outside of an HID or an LED. The CFLs will work, but I myself worry about wiring nightmares that having a bunch of corded CFL fixtures hanging around...

Looking good. It's hard to tell from your pics, but it looks like you've got a rug under your plants, and dirt and dust in the corner. Perfect breeding grounds for bugs. If I were you I'd lose the rug and clean out the area with a bucket of water with a half cup of bleach. Cleanliness is next...

So you're going to use soil from a pepper plant to plant your 'crap' seeds in? You're better off getting a small bag of potting soil and starting there. The pepper plant's been using up the nutrients in the soil, and who knows what's been used up by now. It could even have pests in it... If...

Very nice!
