Hey, I know the post is a month old, just figured I'd answer your question. Yes you can do it, and yes it works. Considerably better than cfl's too and uses much less energy. Also since they're designed for automotive use many have long warranties and are shock proof, water proof, etc. Also...

Agreed. Pick up any submersible pump with 1/2" threads, a piece of 1/2" pvc pipe, a 1/2" threaded male pvc adapter fitting, and 2 1/2" pvc 90 degree elbows. Depending on the height of your reservoir cut the pvc into 2 pieces of unequal length. Slip the threaded adapter on one end of the longer...

If you bend the top of the plant over and use a twisty tie or piece of string to loosely tie it down, it creates an imbalance in the plant as its' main cola, the top of the plant, is no longer the most efficient source of energy. Basically other bud sites are getting more light that the main bud...

As a point of reference, my sig and avatar pics are both Feminized Afghan Kush Ryder (Autoflower) bred by World of Seeds, purchased through The Attitude Seedbank. I had 3 seeds, all three of which grew to about 2ft and had some extremely delicious sweet smelling great tasting knock you over...

Welcome to the forum Zippy! I'm going to type a quick grow guide for you that should be all you'll need. Of course there is a plethora of additional information on the web as well as right here at RIU. I highly suggest reading many of the grow faq on this site for more in depth answers and...

IMO you don't even need to go as big as a gallon, especially with an Auto. I'm not saying using a 1 gal or larger is a bad thing, it'll work just fine, just that it isn't necessary as long as the correct density grow medium is used. I've found the using the correct density grow medium makes...

The glass is by all means not necessary although you will have increased cooling and other benefits by having it sealed. I would suggest making it without the glass first and use it/mess around with it. During this time begin to develop and build an improved glass sealed version. By the time...

How's it going? Hopefully this will help with a few of your questions. I prefer making as much of my own equipment as possible, just something I enjoy doing. A few years ago when I was ready to purchase an air cooled reflector of some type I first began planning how to make my own. I ended...

Don't worry about transplanting, just follow one of the many writes up available online and you'll be fine. Remember, although we love to think our favorite plant is an extremely picky individual it's still a weed, with weed characteristics. It wants to survive extremely badly and if you follow...

Sure you could leave the bud on a branch with a couple small leaves, cut that branch, stick it in a cloner with 24/0, 20/4, or 18/6 light cycle, and revert it back to veg while also growing yourself a clone, but there are tons of things that could go wrong doing it this way for the inexperienced...

Glad I could help!! To be honest I never thought about the idea that the plant would reabsorb nutrients in a dying leaf and then let it die, I always assumed given it's instinct for survival and it's reactions to heavy pruning that it would be constantly trying to revive the dying leaf. Very...

Agreed. But what if the perfect ratio were found........ :) Again, it's just a little side experiment I'm running. If anything beneficial comes of it I'll be sure to let everyone know. As for germinating in light, like I said it needs x amount of moisture and warmth. The seeds were still placed...

Also look into more light. Although you can grow with your set up, to determine the amount of light needed for maximum yield a good set of guidelines is 50w per sq ft for HID lighting and 150w per sq ft for fluorescent lighting. There are of course a million things that could affect or change...

In regards to which light set up is the best, IMHO I believe it depends on what your goals are and what you're trying to accomplish. I have used 12/12, 18/6, 20/4, 24/0 for veg. For all around general growing I have found 20/4 to work the best with my set up and strains. At the same time, using...

Sorry about spelling/grammar issues. I normally have decent grammar but my brain was moving faster than I could type and I wanted to make sure I posted as soon as possible for you :)
