    General setup question

    That is leaf damage from spider-mites. Use neem oil, or a similar product immediately! You need to get rid of the little bastards now or they will destroy your crop. You will need to treat them again in 2 weeks to kill off the eggs. After that, you should spray the undersides of the leaves with...

    What are the spots?

    It is really hard to see in your pics. Looks like bug damage. Can you post a close-up of a single leaf?

    i think i fucked up

    You seem to get it and then you ask the same question again. Your filter can handle the airflow that your fan is creating. If You were to use a fan rated at a higher cfm than your filter then your filter would be slowing down the airflow. DO SOME RESEARCH before you buy something for crissakes...

    Ceramic MH GE vs. Phillips

    I called Advanced again and left a message. This time, Tom called me back and described in great length the various differences in the bulbs and a whole lot more (like how I could make a bulb at home with a torch and a vacuum sealed room); that dude likes to talk. Anyway, Im going to order a...

    how the bud sites look?

    Any where from 8-15 weeks. Most Indica dominant plants take around 10 weeks while Sativas can take up to 18 weeks. There are SO many factors involved that without information regarding the plants genetics and its growing environment, an educated guess is impossible. Get a jewelers loop or a...

    Slight mold/couple small gnats???

    If you are organic you can let the soil dry out an then cover it with an inch of sand or greensand if you want to add silica to your soil. after approx. 1 week remove the sand. Larvae and eggs will be dead by then. Definitely lower your RH to around 40%-50%.

    Advice needed re: nutes to use and foliar feeding during wk 4 of flowering

    Do NOT foliar feed during flowering! Do not use a foliar feed as a root feed. If you cant do the math on your fertilizer, I would definitely think about changing brands. I get great results using FoxFarm and have seen great results using General Hydroponics.

    Lights set up

    I use Pro-Mix, but for a small batch I recommend FoxFarm OceanForest potting soil. I use FoxFarm 3 part nutrients and a molasses mixture for bloom booster. I got great results once using 4 23w Daylight CFLs and a 150w HPS in a mini-compact setup that I purchased from HTG for $80 shipping...

    Help! What Could be Eating the Master Kush tops???

    I don't know whats eating your buds, but I think your nute-lock problem is actually related to using the no pest strip in close proximity to your plants. my buddy put one in his stealth grow and within a week half the plants were dead. At first it looked like nute burn, and then nute lock and...

    Ceramic MH GE vs. Phillips

    To subscribe to a thread, click on thread tools and then subscribe to thread. I was crunched for time and money , so I ordered another GE from HTG and it came 2 days later! As I slowly expand/upgrade, I will be adding a Phillips 330 to replace the 3 150w HPS's I am currently using in another...

    Ceramic MH GE vs. Phillips

    Yes the CMH should be used throughout the life cycle of the plant. I am definitely interested in hearing more about these digital ballast CMHs, and the 860watt CMHs. I have never heard of these before. Quick Question that I overlooked earlier: Does the All-Start 330 operate on a magnetic MH or...

    Ceramic MH GE vs. Phillips

    Well, I can assure you that the GES are definitely NOT garbage. My buds are bigger, denser and earlier than ever before. I call any business who doesn't return multiple phone calls a little fishy. Their prices are half the other guys prices and they operate under 3 different names. Just seems...

    Ceramic MH GE vs. Phillips

    Hyroot. I just read your post. That explains a lot! no matter who I get on the phone from these big companies, none of them can properly explain it to me like you just did. Discount Hydroponics had never even heard of the CMH (although they did offer me a complete 400watt HPS for $99+shipping)...

    Phillips Ceramic MH

    Here is a direct link to the 150watt CMH from Phillips. I just cant find a retailer that sells them. http://www.lighting.philips.com/pwc_li/us_en/connect/tools_literature/downloads/373696.pdf

    Phillips Ceramic MH

    Yeah 1000bulbs sent me an Edison-based bulb, a non-wired ballast and a massive mogul-based plug and play reflector that is obviously for a 1000watt bulb. Returning it was a pain in the ass, and it cost me $60 total shipping to return $90 worth of merchandise and then it took 2 weeks to get my...

    Phillips Ceramic MH

    I think that link is no good. It goes to the site of a business with a similar name and when I call the phone number on the site it goes to the voicemail of another company with a similar name , and no one returns my calls. Their prices are $20 lower than everyone elses which arouses suspicion...
