from a horticultural/botany point of view, it needs no dark period (class C or some such designation). I do a perpetual grow, so there's always vegging going on. I run 24/0 basically unless the plants are looking like they will get too large before I have room in the flower area. If I need to...

Any air you remove, will be replaced or cause a negative pressure. You really should have twice the area of passive intake as powered exhaust. CO2 you commonly seal the room for...

That first one is meant to distribute light over a much more broad area, the other is more focused.

The lumenbrights are awesome reflectors (lumenmax as well). That particular one is more of a focused light, and that is the main thing you will find more commonly in aquarium reflectors, they are usually designed to illuminate a smaller footprint than grow lights (the vast majority of tanks do...

you can see new bud growth at the top of many of those colas, however, the trichs will tell you, and it's not uncommon for the bud to be ripe but to start a new round of growth, it depends on whether you think it's gotten too ripe, or if you can let the new growth ripen a little without...

Figure out where you are growing. that is #1. The space you have to grow in, your budget, and what you would like to produce, pretty much dictate your grow. If you can't seal a room 100% light tight, then yes, you need a grow tent. Off the top of my head, I see no ventilation. You need...

A single CFL will work for sprouting a few plants, but once they get much size to them, you simply won't be able to illuminate the whole thing with a single CFL. If you are going to go HPS, then just do it and move to the HPS when it outgrows the CFL. You can still supplement the lower areas...

in 3-4 weeks, on an 8-9 week strain they should more than double in size. At the same time, conditions and strain will play a part in this, so no way to forecast on the info you give. I have 2 clones at 4 weeks flower and I expect the current buds to gain 4-5 times the size they have now based...

The pics doesn't show them very well, but they look like hairs to me. Judging by the color at the tip they have been there a while. Anyway, they are preflowers. Totally normal, and mostly you'll just see one or two (up to 4) at a node. It's a female. Showing pre-flowers can be strain...

gotta throw in my obligatory http://www.sanniesshop.com/ link :) You will find a large selection of his own genetics, as well as Motarebel's genetics, and genetics from a select group of breeders that sannie works with. He's one of the few large scale breeders who is easily accessible, and is...

You can also get some ingredients and mix up your own :) Tons of info on your subject in many posts/books/tutorials/etc. Depending on where you live the 'dirt' may be terrible for growing, or good, who knows. Chances are the soil from your yard is not good (doesn't sound like you are actively...

If you didn't get pollinated you are lucky. We went out of town for a week and a male who wasn't showing when we left had pollinated the whole closet by the time we got back and he didn't look even close to that developed. More recently we had one hermie ball on the back of a plant that looked...

Yeah, I see people on both sides of this fence. There's a chunk of us who basically do all our manipulation in veg and when it comes to flower we mostly just stay hands off and let them do their thing. The other chunk will trim fan leaves and branches that are obscuring lower tops where they...

it's all a matter of opinion, but most people are looking for a very small moisture content. Basically if there is no moisture the buds just crumble. Too much moisture and they can rot, they will tend to be harsh (for several reasons), and will not burn well. I try to shoot for when they feel...

They look decent. A few things you might consider, cut the light down. You can stay at 16-18 hours with almost all strains and stay in veg (less light = slower growth). Cut down on nutrients. Let them get a little rootbound (don't transplant when you normally think you need to, put it off)...

ohaus and tanita are both reliable brands. Can find them at most head shops, and cheaper ordering online. Far as which one, the main things you're looking for are max weight, resolution (does it distinguish 10ths of a gram, or 100th's or just grams?), they should also indicate the accuracy...

no idea. I have http://www.aghydroponics.com/Sun-Blaze-4ft-x-8Tube-T5-Fluorescent-Grow-Light-p/litt5-960305.htm and I'm pretty happy, it's slightly more though. Also the kelvin on those bulbs isn't ideal for growing, so what you'd save might be eaten up by replacing all the bulbs...

I have one about the same size, but looks like a different brand. mine uses 3/8" for the pump outlet, and the manifold inlet.

400w hps? 8 bulb 4-foot t5?

Didn't get any pictures, but got a lot done today. New air pump came in. Thing runs both my cloners, and a protein skimmer (piece of aquarium filtration, which uses a lot of air), with room to add another 12 site cloner if I could ever figure out where to put it :) Filled up my second cloner...
