    Ordering seeds, suggestions on good strains

    I've always liked sannies genetics (search google for sannies seeds). He also has a forum where you can find out breeding methods, ask him questions, etc.

    Stunted? PICS

    the plant is really dark green, which can be an indication of too much nitrogen, but also can just as easily be strain. If the leaves have changed dramatically in color to get that dark, then maybe back off nitrogen a little. Other than the leaf color I see nothing strange about your pic...

    Automatic watering?

    I have always grown indoor, but a friend of mine who is unaware I grow (but someone I trust implicitly) asked if I wanted to join in on a 1-3 plant gorilla grow next season. I really would love to help him, and the idea of increasing my yield next year is tempting, but where I'm already growing...

    Ventilation..and all the questions behind it!!

    yeah, that first thing you linked is a booster fan, you don't want it. The second one, the vortex, is a centrifugal fan (and vortex is one of the top brands). Doesn't have to be that brand, but that style is what you want. I would go with the 6", there are more budget brands where you could...

    Light postion?

    Every other day I adjust my plants based on their growth to try to maximize light. sometimes it's just repositioning them (turning a densly grown side toward the wall to give the sparser growth more light exposure), sometimes it means pruning or lst. Either way, by all means you can manipulate...

    Can i flower from clone?

    It really doesn't matter if it's a clone or not, the plant won't flower if it's not mature. If you take an immature plant and put it under 12/12 it will just veg slower (less light) until it becomes mature (alternating nodes). and yep, this is why clones are the standard for sog. you need...

    Water cloning is so simple

    you should see how simple a bubble (or aeroponic) cloner is. I haven't actually lost a clone in either of the DIY bubble cloners I have made, and the price to build each was under $25. I was lucky to keep a clone alive when I've tried it in soil/peat/rockwool.

    Fuck i missed!!!!!

    yeah, fiming (and most pruning) is based more on the structure of the plant than age. Usually people will go for the 3-5th true node (meaning nodes with serrated fan leaves). Really pruning techniques are mostly mechanical and the way the plant will respond is pretty much textbook. I'm a big...

    looking to start another grow op

    I have those same hoods, they are around 15 lbs each. You get 6+ of them, plus ductwork, and it also looks like he has some sort of frame built out of aluminum (they almost look like I beams o_O). And I dunno, I personally wouldn't want to patch up the hole left from the size of bolt I would...

    Ventilation..and all the questions behind it!!

    You sure you don't mean booster fans? Duct fans is not really a finite term and though technically it is more appropriate for centrifugal fans, it is often used to refer to the cheap booster fans you find at home depot. To give you an idea, a 6-8" booster fan is usually around $25-30. A 6-8"...

    Ventilation..and all the questions behind it!!

    yeah, you could do it, but you would need to fine tune the open intake so it forced enough flow through your hood. Think of it this way. If you take a straw, and blow through it, you get a decent stream on the other end. cut out half of the side of the straw, and blow through it. At the end...

    HELP Is this nute Burn Or Heat Burn

    what I would suggest is to get a thermometer (or better yet one of those infrared thermometers from radioshack) and find out what the temp around the tops of the plants are. Just keep your light as close to the plants as you can without exceeding the temps you want (usually I try to stick for...

    looking to start another grow op

    I've hung lights in apartments, but they were holes small enough to putty and put a dab of paint over. That looks like it might be some decent weight. In an apartment I would think about a 2x4 frame to suspend things from. As long as you weren't cutting holes for vents, and you suspended your...

    small question

    Dry is relative. It takes a really long time for most pots to totally dry out. What many people do is water when it is dry down to and past 4". but the larger the pot the more it buffers water, so rules of thumb all need to be adjusted. A great way to go is to get used to what your pots...

    looking to start another grow op

    mold isn't really an issue in arizona. I live just next door in the same climate and the only mold I have ever seen is where there has been a consistent leak leading to standing water which was left for over a year, and in all cases the water damage was more of a concern than the mold. Under...

    HELP Is this nute Burn Or Heat Burn

    can't tell from that pic. Oftentimes they look very similar, however heat burn will usually be more widespread, whereas the plant will tend to store excess nutes all in one place, so usually nute burn will start on one leaf or just a section of leaf. Also nute burn tends to slowly evolve and...

    What's the loud part of an exhaust system?

    Centrifugal fans are surprisingly quiet for the amount of air they pump, but they aren't silent. I recently saw some new ultrasonic fans, which are absolutely silent (and cost a few hundred dollars if I remember correctly), but they really aren't setup to be duct fans if that is what you need...

    Ventilation..and all the questions behind it!!

    if I understand you, you are going to split an 8" line to 2x6" and use one 6" for an air cooled hood, and leave the other just open to pull ambient air from the room? If that is the case the issue you will have is that the air will take the path of least resistance, which is going to mean...

    My First Grow A Little Help Would Be Awesome.

    not enough light, and probably could use more nutrients. Really though, I suspect the light is going to be a severe limiting factor in growth rate for you. If you aren't already, leave the light on 24/7...

    Basic Questions?

    I'd get the idea of best out of your head. For pretty much every soil under the sun, and every lighting technology you can get, there is someone growing great buds with them. Basically to answer your question you have to explain your grow, not just what strains you have. Other than that you...
