    anyone wanna show off their Illinois grow!?!

    I don't disagree, I'm just not finished moving things around and that isn't where that's going to stay. Those 2 plants are about to become 5 on March 1 and that will be gone. I actually built that outlet rig from scratch and it's 3x protected. Breaker in the panel, sub breaker in the room, then...

    anyone wanna show off their Illinois grow!?!

    Trust me, it's not. It'sall ground fault protected. I could drop the box in the bucket and nothing would happen.

    anyone wanna show off their Illinois grow!?!

    Random seed from a bag of dank. My first plant brought to flower ever... Both plants flipped to 12/12 Feb 1st Green Crack DWC

    First time grow. Low budget

    I'm SO GLAD I went with photo seeds for my first grow! I have learned so much by forcing myself to dig deep into the plants machinations and in doing so feel like I'm WAY better off than if I had got autos. The #1 reason is clones! I hit the literal jackpot by having my first two plants turn out...

    5000K for flowering?

    So my question... Would I be better off using this 5500k for veg, or keep it in the flower tent? The plant on the right (unknown bagseed in soil) was topped 2 x and trained to make all the small colas. It has great airflow through the lower sections and I think is exactly what I was hoping for...

    5000K for flowering?

    So... I came across this light the other day at the hardware store and it was just too good to pass up. These retail for $199 (Wobble-light Jr), so for $15 I figured the bulb alone was worth the price. It's an 85w 5500k CFL While the footprint of the light (the base, not the bulb) will...

    First time grow. Low budget

    I came across that just the other day! It was in a topping thread... He said his dog topped his first plant for him! LOLZ!

    First time grow. Low budget

    Depends on what bulb is being used... I certainly wouldn't recommend just using a basic MV bulb that would be used in a gym or parking lot. I completely agree if that's the case. However there are now lots of bulbs that are made that will do ok. Personally, I'm using a 1000w Agrosun Gold to...

    First time grow. Low budget

    Here's what I started with... Here she is "in action". Notice the ballast outside the tent on the top. My next project is 4 x side lighting for my flowering tent... Gotta deal with the heat, then it's on!

    Can you plant/clone off of topping?

    My very first attempt at a clone was from the top of a plant. While I certainly don't cut them like this anymore I was very pleased with the results.

    First time grow. Low budget

    Don't confuse the idea of a "cheap light" with a "shitty light". MANY good lights can be purchased or built on the low low! I just bought 12 x High Bay 400w Mercury Halide lights (listed as "old warehouse lights" on marketplace) for $5 a light! A little hoodrat engineering and you got a...

    Can you plant/clone off of topping?

    Sorry... Nobody here is going to take you seriously when you state things like "it doubled overnight". Not to be rude, but it didn't. Growth will continue after it's cut if the conditions are right, but if you have cuttings doubling in size overnight you better get Ed Rosenthal on the horn...

    Spartan series 4 light controller

    I just started using GE smart plugs for my timers and so far I love them! I can create programs for my drip pumps as well as HID's right on my phone! I can't vouch for longevity, but I've had my 600w HPS running 12\12 for almost a month with no issues. I imagine that high amps may give...

    Seedlings dead need help for next bacth

    Sure... Don't use any. Seedlings (less than 2 weeks) need very little if any nutes. The benefits you may gain by adding nutes are slight compared to the risks of burn or lockout. I am a huge fan of Rapid Rooters (Root Riot plugs) and have great success when starting from seed. I soak the seed...

    Portable Reverse Osmosis Water Filter

    I just picked this up for what I think is a steal! I'm a new grower in IL and have fairly poor tap-water (300+ tds, lots of chlorine) that is getting to be a pain to treat now that my plants are bigger. My DWC Green Crack plant is 3 weeks into flower and drinking almost a gallon a day!

    Curled Leaves? Why?

    I have this same light... I use it for germinating seedlings, so I seriously doubt the light is too strong. While Mars Hydro is getting a little better, they still toe the "snake oil salesman" line when they name their products. They say the TS 600 is the equivalent of a 600 watt HPs light...
