Just be aware of what the amp rating for the GFCI is. Just like a timer, if you exceed the amp rating you will eventually burn it up.

- Confirmation no longer needed. The males, I am about 95% sure they were males or at least hermies, have been disposed of (insert sinister laugh). I will post some updated picture tonight after the grow closet is remodeled one more time :wall: Actually, I am lucky I am still growing. I...

Awesome! I know my little closet grow won't be anywhere near that but I am hoping second grow will be that much better. Question: I've been following this off and on and you must have switched from 312W CFL (title) and 150W HPS (signature) - did you end spending more time on the CFL side or...

It would trip as soon as it electrified the water. A breaker trips when the amount of amps drawn exceeds a pre-defined limit. A GFCI trips when the amount of juice going out does not match the amount of juice coming back because it went to ground or water or something. Most rooms are wired...

I might have mentioned this before but - GFCI - GFCI - GFCI. Water and electricity don't mix. Bathrooms, kitchens, and grow rooms should all have GFCI.

Thanks for the input. As far as creating hermies for fem seeds, I was planning on trying this at some point regardless if they auto flower or if I am into cloning - https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/138736-creating-feminized-seeds-has-anyone.html (no chemicals required) - it...

ah - so take my clones and go straight to 12/12 and it would be just as fast/efficient or better than autos? I guess that would work to put mothers in a large tote - I might have room - and take clones every X weeks. So my main light would always be on 12/12 and a separate tote for mothers on...

The companion question that I should have asked would be what the recommendations would be for nutrients. I have a bottle of Ionic Grow 3-1-5. I had bought as an all around grow formula for a continuous flow/reservoir hydro set up. Would the nutrients change for 'straight to drain'?

Great feedback, thanks. My understanding was that you couldn't take clones from auto flower anyways. I was planning on germinating seeds every few weeks to replace what was ever harvested. The downside is that I am pulling males out of half of what I germinate, but I was holding out hope to...

There are strains of plants that automatically start to flower regardless of the amount of light. They will bud under a 20/4 hour light schedule.

I am in the process of updating my converted closet size grow with running water and drain. I'd like to be able to mix up a 5 gallon bucket of nutrients and have it water x number of plants in 1 or 2 gallon pots every other day. The excess would flow through to drain. I am growing with dirt...

Just wondering what the consensus was on growing auto flowering strains and what the best strains are. I have a limited grow space and would like to do a perpetual grow, but you need two light environments to harvest every X amount of weeks. I was thinking with auto flowering I could add say 5...

Very nice indeed. Did you say some females were turning hermie on you at the end?

Just a bump - hoping to get confirmation on male or female.

I read through it but must have missed that - I sincerely apologize :oops:

Your plants look great, but I had a question on the SCROG part. Is it an actual SCROG? I am interested in doing one, but my understanding was that the plants were supposed to stay under the screen.

Are they starting to bud already or are they auto flowers?

Actually, it's not so much about shrinking down his components to 1/4 scale, but to follow the principles of his system as I outlined above. I just measured a shoe box at 10" x 13" x 5" deep. I should be able to get 3 - 3" net pots about 5" from center to center. Hopefully I can find a tote a...

I was wondering if the StinkBud System can be done at 1/4 scale. I have a small closet grow - actually a closet size bathroom with everything removed. It measures about 30" x 45" at the floor. I've got a simple closet grow going, but I am a big fan of this thread. I've considered doing the...

My plants are about 12 days into flowering now and I believe all of them have shown their sex at this point. I tossed a couple of males already and posted pics of the other 2 I confirmed today just to be sure - assuming females never have balls ;-) I also added a couple of pictures of what I...
