I am running pretty darn cool right now, trying to keep a bug problem down until harvest in a few weeks...

Would you be able to elaborate a little more on the detriments of growing at low temps...

I'll get things warm again, but right now I am trying to get to slow down/hibernate..

lights on is 65F/18C...

lights off is 50F/10C..


I would appreciate your comments...

BESIDES IT'S JUST FAWKING WRONG TO STEAL AND ALMOST AS WRONG TO CONDONE OR SUGGEST IT. BAD FORM MY FRIEND, BAD FORM!!!!!!

and on a more personal note...thanks, it's people like you that cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars a year replacing crap I find stolen, you know we can't work when you steal our stuff?!!?!?! Oh and those lights, that's called EGRESS LIGHTING, it's sole purpose is so we don't trip and kill ourselves at 5am when the fawking sun isn't even up yet. And when it's not in place OSHA comes and shuts down our job site because we are then in violation of federally mandated construction safety laws!!! Makes me sick when I have to be woken up by my Foreman because someone stole from our job site!!!!

YOU WANNA GROW POT FINE...DON'T STEAL FROM HARDWORKING PEOPLE TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey chill out man.. its not a great atmosphere when everyones cussing... and your not no general contractor if you have a foreman just wanted to say lol.. becasue im a foreman and i still have people above me

Question:
So i am about 3 weeks into my flowering cycle and due to me moving at the end of the month to a different state, i only have 4 more weeks of flowering i can do. I'm worried my plant wont be ripe in time. is there any way to speed up flowering? I heard cutting back the light even more from 12/12 to 10light/14 dark would help is this true and by how much? From what i have seen in books and pictures the plants seem to be advancing fast almost look like they have been flowering for 4-5 weeks. any thoughts or suggestions? thanks!!

Thanks for the heads up. I did some reading and it seemed like most of the problems were because of incorrect bulbs being used in them. hydro wholesale assured me they matched the correct bulbs to the 1000w dimable/dual voltage/switchable lumatek ballast and it's little sister the 400w ballast that arrived in the mail yesterday. I also got two yield master 2 hoods and some other goodies. Sweeeeeeet I will take some pics when I get it up and running.

Won't intrinsically hurt them, under strong light though plants need a bit of dark on a daily basis to use the light most efficiently.. See photosynthesis builds like a fire each day, it doesn't switch on like a light, there are dark cycle processes (that also occur in light to a lesser extent).. Basically what I'm saying is that there are equilibria that need to be maintained if you want to get the most out of your watts..
