nay advice?

just got a hand microscope from radioshack with 60X and 100X mag. wondering how you use it. do you cut off a leaf and view it or try to do it right on the leaf. cant figure out how to see those crystals like you see in photos

i just got a hand microscope from radio shack. it has 60x and 100x, but i cant really figure our how to use it. do you snip a little leaf off and look at it or do you look at it on the plant?

generally, how long after first seeing orange hairs are the girls ready? i have white widow and orange bud in soil under HPS. flowered 6 weeks ago today... wondering when i need to start flushing. using fozx farms and molasses

there are other ways to maximize if you do not have feminized stuff. i just have a small closet about 2x4 with a 250hps. basically functional grow area with good light is 2x3ish. i have found that the best way is just train each plant individually. that way you can pick out males when they...

i tried it with my last harvest and failed miserably. tried it a few ways too but couldn't get the leaves to stay on. good luck and if you get it too work make sure to get pictures

it is the same with beer also. i brew 5 gallon batches of brew and just put the batches in the room. get tons of co2 for about a week then trails off...

wondering if anyone knows about this. i heard that having light on for 13 hrs in flower increases yield but lengthens the fowering time a bit. any info or insight on this woud be good

i remember hearing somewhere that flowering with 13 hrs light can increase yield but lengthens the flowering time. io have not been able to find anything on this though and was wondering if anyone had some insight on this.

ratty can you take a pic from farther away, one where you can see the light and basic set-up of your room

nice and bushy ratty, not sure if there is anything to really improve on at the moment. if you only get these 6 plants then go ahead and veg them longer like you were saying. height can always be controlled by tieing the larger branches down...i generally try to get all the bud heights at the...

if you are on all cfls the heat is not a major issue. air quality is though. for ease you could just try to drill some holes then have a desk fan on the inside to keep the air moving. this is not at all close to the best but i guess if you are just growing peppers it will work. lighting...

nat, i think we are talking about the same thing. his plant is still in veg so most of the leaves are still needed (or are not going to effect yield in a negative way). i was trying to explain to just take a few leaves from the bottom at the time for all the reasons i stated above. again...

you want more of the red spectrum for flower. if you want to keep this simple you can get a feww more cfl's for sidelighting. (Yield wont be as good but still it is your own grown which is really cool) if you do have access to a little money than you should try to get a hps, if you are just...

i have found that it is not really necessary to prune very much. a less stressful way to get air and space to the plant is by tying branches down and out with some string. this will spread out the folliage. If you are going to trim, do it sparingly and all at once, dont trim a little...

i agree with this. it keeps you from messing with the seeds and possibly screwing them up with salts and heat and what not. just get the pot that you are going to start the seeds in ready (i like 2 literbottles cut off because it allows the root system to grow pretty large before you have to...

why the plexi glass, just completely shut it in and paint the inside either flat white or use mylar...is the lighting going to be all cfl? how much height do you have? you need air flow also, sompletely shut will create too much heat and air quality will be low. use computer fans to pull...

you can maybe try to take a few clippings from each plant and root them in the room while you are still in veg with these guys. then out them in another room with just some cfls for another couple weeks while the mothers of flowering then put the clones in the room, may only extend your flower...

everything looks really good in there, 4G pots should be plenty i am going to try to get picture of my set up here soon, problem is i have no idea how to shrink pictures so they can be uploaded... are you planning on cloning?

lucky, i just ran out of my last grow and didn't plan well this time around. about to start my flower here in a few days so i ma going to miss the holliday season...at least smoking my own stuff any way. good luck to you and if you have any more questions fire away
