This is my research du jour. A few things: First of all, moonlight is definitely not green, (unless the moon is made of green cheese. And there's no way to know if THAT'S true or not...) It's as full spectrum as any reflected light would be, but it's obviously not enough to stress plants. I...

Just wanted to share a picture of my new 35-site cloner. Some of you will recognize the big black/yellow Home Depot. Works awesome. Leaks if I leave it on full time, but my interval timer kicks it on for 30 seconds every 30 minutes, and not a drop leaks out now. (Leaving the pump on all the...

I have recently been posting this to CL.org, and it was suggested I post it here, so... Hi! It was suggested by a few that my info-ad was a rip-off of Dru West's book "Secrets of the West Coast Masters" which isn't entirely unfair. Regarding Secrets of the West Coast Masters: I read everything...

Hi! copying from another, older thread I just posted this too. (Is that stupid? Seems like it might be. Sorry.) But this thread (as well) seems ambiguous on the subject, and I'd like to clear this matter up. I just tried a side-by-side comparison, and got amazing results! I think it's because...

Hi! maybe this is covered elsewhere, but this thread seems ambiguous on the subject, and I'd like to clear this up. I just tried a side-by-side comparison, and got amazing results! I think it's because the cloning powder got more time on the stems. These were all cut at the same time, with...

Thanks for the advice. Found myself in the same situation, so I'm now running a 1000w el-cheapo HPS on a 600w digital switchable dimmable ballast at 100%, and it works fine. Nothings gotten hot or anything, and it looks about as bright as when I was running a 600w bulb. I'm sure it will not...

Just one addendum to that: I do my dry/curing in a power drying cabinet. This is just a fan-ventilated box. I used a couple of kitchen cabinets that I had laying around. One has strings back and forth for hanging branches for the first day, and one with screen shelves for subsequent drying...

From a High Times video I saw.. This is a great way to cure fast. Alternate from open-air to closed-jar (times are approximate) 1. Open air - 24 hrs 2. In jar - 8 hrs 3. Open air - 16 hrs 4. In bag - 6 hrs 5. Open air - 12 hrs Continue as necessary.

Timer: I have a timer turning on the pumps for 5 seconds every 20 minutes. This gives them a good spray and lets them kinda dry out a little. I've been extending the off-time, and expect to end up at a much longer off-time. The way it looks to me is the more closer they get to drying out...

Be sure to clean out the burrs when you cut your PVC pipe pieces. Here are the measurements I use for the cutting of the PVC: 1 x 1 1/2" 2 x 7" 2 x 3 1/4" 4 x 5 1/4" Quick picture break: Strain: Island Sweet Skunk Propagation: I've tried lots of systems (well, bubble clone, ez clone and...

Well, it's been about a year since I started this project (not my first, but my first serious attempt at volume,) and you guys all had such awesome info for me, I just want to give a little of it back, hopefully with a little value added! For starters, lets go over my main flower room...
