    light question

    i have 8 cfls... 6 daylight 2 bright white which produce approx. 13000lumens. my plant grows nicely. like stated above heat lamps will do just that. you want to get baked not your plant. 2-3 23w daylight cfl's would be perfect for a plant.

    CFL Real Question

    like papasamba said LST is a type of super cropping. by bending the top node equal or lower to the lower nodes you release more auxin's which aid in growth spurts while the top node tries to go back up. the lower branches the get thick and produce more branches much like the main stem. it's...

    Can I use Ortho Ecosense on my plants?

    i made a mistake and since my babies were on 24/0 they got no rest period for the sulfur in that product to dry without burning leaves :( so yes it works but make sure you do it during lights off or take them away from the light for like 20-30 min to dry

    Rookie CFL question...

    contrary to what was told burying the stem ill not be enjoyed by the plant at all and it WILL NOT make your plant bushier. you defenately need more light asap. i have 8 26w cfl's. 6 daylight 2 bright white totaling approx. 13000 lumens. 1 plant and 2x3 box. after 3 weeks you get this!

    CFL Real Question

    yes it ill smell. the strength would depend on strain but it will be noticeable. the soil should be mix preferably with perlite so as to have great aeration.

    blue light or mix with red to veg?

    You do not need to do 18/6 you can do 24/0. Some say they notice more "growth" when they let their plants receive a dark cycle. In fact they do grow. Stem growth to be exact which is if what your looking for then that is fine. 24/0 will keep the plant vegging for 24hrs. While the plant will not...

    What Is Needed?

    ^^ At least this guy can admit it is his opinion. A lot of people here will tell you this is what you NEED to do. And now to my opinion: like he said you will be ok without the ppm meter for a bit (still don't have one). You do absolutely need a ph meter or you can use ph testing kit (bought my...

    Serious help needed there gunna die!!!!! PICS

    pic 4 looks like nute burn. you are using peat moss and pearlite both of which hold water, especially peat moss. you may have stressed them out with too high humidity. stop watering them or giving them nutes or you can seriously effect your plants health. i know you dont want them to die but you...

    Are they gunna die!!!!

    yeah without pictures man it's hit or miss. most likely it might be too hot in the garage for them or you may have burned them. you should start small 1/4 dose for nutes the first feeding. then i would keep it 1/2 to 3/4 the recommended dose from then on.
