    Changing lighting schedule by 12 hours.

    Thanks for the response. I was worried such a drastic and permanent schedule change halfway through their flower cycle would put my ladies in a bad mood.

    Changing lighting schedule by 12 hours.

    I would like to change my lights from being on in the day (8am-8pm) to on in the night (8pm-8am). Right now the days are getting warmer and my temps are getting a little high and will only continue to get higher. Could I turn the lights out for 24 hours and then start up a completely opposite...

    Yep. Cured.

    Compensation for a short flush?

    Is there anything that can be done to correct for a too short flush time? I had to chop early and now have a bit of a harsh taste. Thanks

    Colorado Med Growers, Unite

    Some comments on dispensary prices. I'm so tired of those bastards beating me down on price and telling me they can get "good medicine" for 3500 or less. This "good medicine" is coming from a massive warehouse where the whole point is to get weight as fast as possible. I've seen some good...

    Colorado Med Growers, Unite

    I'm curious what price people are getting at dispensaries. I know last summer people were getting $4400 on a regular basis. Now I've heard it's hard to get $4000. Some shops Denver/Boulder are claiming they pay between $3200-3600. It doesn't seem the shops are lowering their retail prices. I...

    Snowcap flowering time?

    Alright thanks. I'll be chopping on the 64th day. The yield is going to be low but the flowers look good. I'll let you know how it turns out.

    Snowcap flowering time?

    So what did you guys find to be the total flower time? I have some Snowcap that have been going for 50 days and the trichomes are still clear or mostly clear. I got clones from someone who got them in Cali. The plant didn't grow much after the switch to 12/12. The flowers look great but the...

    Is 12 hours a very firm number?

    Great, thanks for the answers.

    Is 12 hours a very firm number?

    I recently added a second grow tent. There is a single timer (Hydrofarm mechanical) controlling both 12 hour cycles. The cycles alternate. So I am trying to provide each tent with exactly 12 hours, but I'm thinking the increments on the timer are maybe not so accurate and one tent may get...

    A Bored Electrician to Answer Your Questions

    Wow, I didn't realize it would be that intensive or expensive. The longer post by skunkaroo claims he spent like $50. Are you saying that the setup he describes won't work or that it isn't ideal. I'm not doubting you, I just don't have any experience with this sort of thing. I'll hold off on the...

    A Bored Electrician to Answer Your Questions

    Thanks for helping people out. Right now I have two 600W HPS in a grow tent. My plan is to have a second tent with two 600W lights and use a single set of ballasts. I got some good advice here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/241239-one-ballast-two-alternating-lights.html. But...

    One ballast to two alternating lights?

    Great that makes sense. The cord to the light is cut and hardwired to terminals? What do N.O. N.C. stand for? Do +/- wire positioning matter, does the ground get a terminal? Is there a downside to using a ballast in this way? Thanks

    One ballast to two alternating lights?

    Timers: Outlet-Timer-Ballast-Multiplug/Splitter-Timer one for each Light- Is this how you would do it? Relay: Could you tell me more about these? I did a quick google search but didn't see how I would use them. Thanks

    ventilation for 4x4 tent

    If you stay with a 400MH you don't need a large (200 cfm or less) fan or air-cooling. Carbon filters are rated for different cfm and having smaller components would save you money and keep the noise down. If you go big (1000W) you should run a small (200 cfm or less) for odor control and a...

    One ballast to two alternating lights?

    I'm looking at setting up a second tent and to save money I would like to run both light systems off the same ballast. How would I provide power to one light for 12h and then shift power to the other light for the next 12h and repeat? I'm assuming there exists some switcher but I've never seen...

    ventilation for 4x4 tent

    If the fan is for odor control between 180-220 cfm would be plenty. If the fan is to cool your lights you should have enclosed reflectors and the same fan would work. If I had that size tent I would use a 1000W with a large air-cooled capable reflector. I saw a new reflector at my local store...

    A question about hash.

    So I've got the good stuff. Should I press it into blocks or leave it in rice sized chunks? Does either way allow mold to form more easily?

    A question about hash.

    I posted this in general and got no responses hopefully the advanced members can help me out. I just made some hash for the first time. Using a 4 set Bubble Bag. Does the hash from different micron sized bags smoke differently? Is there a reason to keep it separate or can I throw it all...
