Yeah, don't grow in someone else's house without their consent, that's like the most disrespectful thing you could do. Try talking to your mum about it, if she's cool with you smoking she can probably appreciate your worries about getting caught buying, and might even help you. You'll never know...

You can't lower the temperature below what the intake temp is, if the air coming in is that hot, you need to cool it somehow. Heat exchangers can be made with copper pipe, rubber tubing, an oscillating fan, small water pump and a chiller/bucket full of ice water if an a/c is impractical. Here's...

I'm in the UK, and no, the rating of the fuse is either 3, 5 or 13 amps and is not a good indicator of how much power the appliance it is attached to will use. If the appliance uses 6 amps, it will have a 13 amp fuse, if it pulls 0.1 amps, it will have a 3 amp fuse, so it can never give you more...

So does the gibberlic acid affect the seeds in any way?

Yeah they should do well for it, the first week or two of flowering is mostly vegetative growth anyway, do they have any buds forming yet? Foliar feeding is not recommended with HID lighting, for the reason you discovered. It has been theorised that it could burn the leaves by the droplets...

No idea on the yield, it can vary massively depending on how good/bad a grower you are. When you say the plant is 3.5 feet tall, how wide is it? What sort of shape is it growing into? I have seen Sativas that grew straight up then started to branch out like a christmas tree, and some that...

I never heard the one about feminised seeds being made with poisonous chemicals before... Where'd you hear that? It is true that feminised seeds come from hermies, but hermaphrodism is induced in the plants by adding light in the middle of the dark cycle, it is not a genetic trait of the plant...

As I said, I've done it on a number of occasions and never noticed any problems, but I always make sure they get 12 hours of dark if they're in flowering.

All electrical equipment should have a label on it with the wattage, add the wattage of everything together and divide it by the voltage to get the current in amps. As long as you are below 80% of the breakers rated load you are fine.

What are they, 2nd-3rd week of flowering? You might still be able to clone them, it could depend on how receptive the plant is to being cloned! Here's a great method that I was shown, it's simple, cheap and has never let me down...

I would give them 8hrs light then 12 dark, it's the 12hrs of dark that induces flowering. Imo it won't bother them, I've had to alter the light cycle many times and never noticed any ill effects.

What's the humidity in the room? If it never goes above 60-70% and you have good air movement in the room there shouldn't be any mould.

I vote for Cheese, it takes almost no looking after and makes plenty of high quality smoke, the buds get covered in trichs from week 2-3 of flowering. How tall it grows depends on how long you veg, mine normally double in size from the day I make the switch to 12/12. If you buy seeds from a...

pH testing strips work better than those soil testers, I've had 3 and they were all inaccurate pieces of shit, had no problems using the strips, they cost next to nothing either.
