gram per watt is a great measurement. Each different wattage of light produces a different amount of lumens (we all know this). And what does light do for plants? Photosynthesis, which is breaking the light down into food for the plant. So the bigger the wattage of the light, the more food to be...

There are a few reasons I use tubs like that for clones. 1st off I hate the trays with ridges, holds to much water and clones dont sit flat. 2nd, it is a flat bottom which increases the surface area of the heating up to the tub. 3rd, it easy to just splash water in with no dome or cover, and I...

Update tomorrow!! Tomorrow is 2 weeks in, had small buds on the plants since day 9. Swapped to 3 600w digital ballasts. Packed all 3 hoods into the same space as the two 1000's, so hopefully beter penetration overall. I'll have some shots for ya. Is this thread that boring? No questions or...

Plants have flowered just over a week now. Did quite a bit of bending and tieing down to get as many tops as I could. Now I have like a 5x5 square for a canopy, lots of colas :) Also had my 5 clones in a little dwc tub for a week. Roots are everywhere now. And I took a few more a couple days...

Switching to flower today, got the MH bulb swapped out. Finally got my 220v box and timer wired in so I might throw the other light on so I have 1000w per two plants. Roots looking good, they are shaping to the bucket now, here is a pic of em.

Here are some pics of the ladies. They are all taller/wider the buckets they're in now. Root systems getting HUGE. I'll have to try and get a shot of them for you guys later tonight when I am completing the veg room.

ya i met him and his buddy, great guys, quite knowledgable as well. Definately recomend them

i agree, lets see those 2ft colas

Yes! I would never let the humidity over 50%. I grew in a motorhome for a year a number of years ago, the humidity in there general ranged 45-55%. You could see strands of mold begining to grow if you looked at the buds under a microscope. It wasnt visible to the eye, and the plant seemed to...

Thanks guys! Been farming for about 7-8 years now. Sometimes just a closet grow, and sometimes a giant area packed full that took more than one person for the work. Used a garage for a number of years and we remodeled that place 8-10 times, tried every different hydro style. I believe thats the...

Room is pretty much complete, just took 11 clones, need 5 for my next crop and passing 6 back to the medical community. And here is a pic of the plants a week after the last. A bit greener now, had to get out the old ph/ppm monitors and mess with them a bit before working. These plants seem to...

Hello, plants are looking pretty good. I would definately go a little heavier on your nutrients containing nitrogen. They looked a little light which means your not quite to the optimal growth rate. Dont be afraid to stray away from the "normal" nutrient formulas as every strain will have...

finally an update on the room. I hurt my hand, might of knicked the tenden, so i've had to ask a friend to come help me finish the setup. This is why i hate having the plants before the room is ready. Something always comes up to prolonge things. Plants looking ok, not as great as I ciuld be...

I was planning on it. The mh isnt on, there is a t5 hanging from it. I wasnt worried about the output from a fluorescent. You can bet the buckets will be black by the time the mh is on.
