    absolute min cfl wattage for 5 plants

    Lol! my first ever grow i did in small wardrobe & used 4 domestic CFL's totalling 54W - did 4 plants with 3 weeks veg & got probably just under an oz back in total. To be fair, i reckon there's no reason i couldn't have got abit more weight still, as theres a fair few things i couldve done...

    I will never grow again without using trigger lights and UV Bulbs.

    Very interesting post indeed man - and nice to see a long one written well enough to make it an easy read too! I can certainly see the principle of ur 1st Far Red idea, i've read bits on similar before but i don't know enough about light spectrum or botany to be able to add anything. It is...

    got a problem +rep for good diagnosis

    And finally, (back to seriously) are u trying to say that u think it was some sort of diease/spores, etc in the fan unit, that infected urs?? From what i read of ur description that was what it sounded like. Tho in any case, new clean equipment helps everytime.

    got a problem +rep for good diagnosis

    Tho i must admit, i would've loved to have been in the room to see u getting ur mate to buy all ur stuff! Either that was fucking explosive, or very mundane & dull! I'm sorta imagining the former, and that u had to slap him around abit first! lol!

    got a problem +rep for good diagnosis

    Hmmmmm - i dunno, u see in the 1st pic, one of the leaves looks a little bent over trying to poke thru the screen. I think u've badly fucked it all up, so u may as well bin it all now. Sorry! Lol! But seriously, they look amazing - love the mother bushes!

    6 week into flowering ? problem ahead

    Oh yeah, and raising ur lights accordingly is a damn good idea too! Must admit, i've learnt that the hard way (and thru having a lazy, forgetful housemate!)

    6 week into flowering ? problem ahead

    I'd agreed that 7 weeks would be abit too early & u could miss out on some potential stunners, as they look good now 4 weeks in. I also think leaving them the 18 days ur away would be preferable, as if anything they might well have just hit perfect ripeness then anyway. It'll only make it just...

    whats going on ??? electrical help

    And yeah good u on the case too man! Always good to be a little para! Sounds like stepping up the breaker, etc is good idea as even if there never was problem now, a re-wire give u alot more peace of mind & save u having to always be worrying about it! Best of luck anyway man!

    whats going on ??? electrical help

    Fair enough dude - if the timers been running alright recently then i'm not too sure, but one other thing is i do know that HPS do draw alot more current on start-up,so warm wires could just be reisdual effect of that. Maybe just have a google tho for heavy duty timers 1000W HPS & see what comes...

    whats going on ??? electrical help

    But as for the timer being outta sync & playing about, i don't think thats due to any electricity issues/warm wires, etc. I think that more just sounds like the timers buggered & u probably need a new one anyway. And with most digi timers, if the timer bit goes, then it usually means it was bad...

    whats going on ??? electrical help

    Lol! Firstly, no-one needs a fire. And most definitely no-one needs a fire started from a grow set-up as then u could be talking a few other complications, beyond burnt buds. Like ASV said, wires should never be warm; if they melt u are proper fucked - what sort of timer are u using & are u...

    2nd grow 4 sqft box with 350-400 watts cfl

    Or it could just be that they're constantly knackered from growing big so quick, as they do look healthy & tall for month old plants from seed, under good old CFLs. Overall, i reckon it'll be cool, just watch they don't start slowing growth or showing diease/stress, etc, but only in as much as u...

    2nd grow 4 sqft box with 350-400 watts cfl

    And it could be slight underwatering issues, but it just seems strange all the plants are all showing identically similar drooping postures in each of the different sets of pictures. With underwatering, the leaves will move up & down abit still and seems too coincidental u took photos each time...

    2nd grow 4 sqft box with 350-400 watts cfl

    Nice stealth set-up man - is hard to see the box in the room in the first place! Cool idea. And to answer u for thoughts/comments, i'd also say have u got a fan in there, as their droopiness looks to me more like just needing abit of air? I might be wrong, but if u haven't got little fan in...

    Cropi Canna Seeds?

    Just re-reading the posts trying find info on freebie Boulder Bubblegum, as mines about 10 days from finishing. BUt found this old one about CC seeds. To update, as i promised on my CC efforts; the 2 i tried both never germinated! Lol! They did fuck all - couldnt get to crack any which way...

    double diesel ryder from attitude/SAGARMATHA

    Lol! i ordered exact same thing from SOS!! (tho i also got RQS Special Kush 3-pack) I've tried a few & have the Boulder Bubblegum about 10 days from finishing. It looks amazing & so, so crystal coated! It stayed short & stocky tho was very nice & healthy all grow. It wasn't a masively vigorous...

    Mold on my babies..Pull or wait?

    Yeah, i'd say try more oscillating fans/better airflow as that will help, tho obviously only if the mould is mainly related to poor airflow. Do u also run ur desk fans at night too? At night the plants are respiring & leaking major moisture. Airflow needs to circulate day & night and regularly...

    Intermediate Grower in Need of Advice

    But also wanted to say, they don't look too bad overall so i'd still feel proud they grew to fruitation each time! And i think only a few small tweaks would have u running sweet as that light set-up alone should pump out hefty buds when u running at full steam!

    Intermediate Grower in Need of Advice

    Some damn good advice on here already! I'd agree certainly with changing the miracle gro too - MJ deserves better soil than that! And letting tap water sit for 24/36 hours is very good recommendation too. Also, i was thinking what does the temperature do in that garage space thru day & night...

    Harvest time close?

    fair enough dude - that sounds like a good plan if u are having bad smell issues - its puts a different spin on the subject anyway! Best of luck for the new one then & enjoy what u do get anyway!
