It's real obvious what's happening here if you just look. If not, perhaps you should take up knitting instead.

i know whats goin on here al and how to top im just askin a quik ?, you top so that those 2 nodes that will be new growth are your clones correct? and from the time you pinch it takes about 2 weeks to be large enuf for clones?

Yes, the new growth post the pruning will be the material used for the next pass of cuttings.

No atmosphere outside your glasshouse, so lots of sunlight (and UV... and gamma rays....) How long is a lunar day? Where on the moon would you locate your grow op so it got 12/12 lighting? Endless!

I would put it right here: Tycho (crater)

Only because I am a romantic and love making people read wikipedia articles. It takes 29.5 days to get around this big ol' marble we call the Earth and it generally the same side always faces out(you now it as the evil far side of the moon), so it wouldn't matter where you put it would a few days of light then a few days of darkness. Either way it's crummy for growing plants.

You would have to grow indoors, with aeroponics because there isn't a lot of water up there and I don't want to carry up all those cases of Evian. Other than slamming up some solar panels/batteries for electricity and a few exercise bikes for CO2 it would be pretty standard op... with moon gravity!

That was a cool thought experiment, maybe I should get my Fungineering degree.

Al,
I stumbled with an issue in my op. I am getting air cooled reflectors for my 600W lamps, however, my rooms are completely sealed. Only the AC has an access to outside air.
Will it be alright if I put the exhausts inside the room?, there's an AC, fully turned on all the time.

if you use tubes you prob wont need the ac and if u use ac u shouldnt need to cool your room anymore or you should rethink the design of your room....

the climate in my city is tropical. I absolutely need the ac. besides, maybe it would be a good idea to redirect the heat away from the plants, towards another area in the room. However, i'm not so sure, I dont know if the extra amps (I kep a close eye on the electric consumption) are worth it

u definately NEED exhaust and intake.. i dont see how you could grow in a completely enclosed environment. aside from the plants co2 intake (which it definately wont receive in a sealed room, unless suplimented) you would have a humidity problem for sure. i would think of a completely sealed grow room as i would a port-a-poddy with no ventilation... hard to take a piss in there huh?

u need a hole in the room to intake fresh air, and an exhaust hole that is powered by a fan to expell the plants' waste ( oxygen) as well as maintain the humidity ... i dont care how great your temp is with that AC.. i would rather run a 90 degree grow with great exhaust/intake than i would run a 75 degree grow thats sealed off from fresh air

how would u like it if you were inclosed in a room that had no usable gases being introduced but you were cooled by an ac...
(picture yourself in a casket with no available air floating on frigid waters)

k its about time to close this thread i think to it gets jacked every other day about some bs. would you consider an "ask al about sog ebb n flow hydroponics, guaranteed clones advice on not growing dope" or somin maybe a little better......but this is a traffic jam and there should be a way to pull all your post out with the quotes of the people you are answering.....(STAFF, CAN YA?)
anyway al thanx for everythin on here its all helped one of us in one way or another!!!
