Here you go. Sorry about the quality

My new crop is about 2 weeks old and doing great. I'm starting off this time in a completely redesigned grow room. 6 plants, 3 250watt HPS, fox farms, etc, etc. All conditions are perfect except for ventilation. I'm using open hoods on all three lights, so it gets HOT in there. I searched...

Thanks for the replies. I have high hopes for this grow, so I'm probably over-analyzing things. At what point should I start turning the remaining lights on and moving them closer? I'm thinking 2nd set of serrated leaves.

Starting my 2nd grow, this time six plants with three 250watt HPS, fox farms soil and PBP nutes. I germed the seeds in paper towel and moved them into their pots. I have them all sitting in the grow closet with just one HPS on, elevated about four feet above the pots. None of the pots are...

Thanks for the information. Can you point me to a site, or give me the name of a company that sells these 240 to 277 volt converters? I've done some searching on google but haven't come up with much. Thanks.

Bump. Anyone with experience, or perhaps an electrician?

I recently stumbled upon the opportunity to pick up a bunch of 250 watt HPS industrial fixtures and bulbs for free. The only problem is they are rated at 277 volts. I cracked open the enclosure to see if the ballasts were multi-tap, but as far as I can tell they aren't. Now my question: I...

Thanks for the input. I'm going to give it another two or three weeks to do it's thing. We'll see how it turns out. It's getting very hard to be patient :) At this point I'm going off of hair color. I have a microscope, how do you guys collect samples of triches? Just take a clipping of bud...

I'd love to, but even the most mature-looking buds have been packing on some new growth. Taking a tip from fdd, I was planning on harvesting when there are no immature white hairs. On a side note, I've always heard to not prune leaves during flowering because it will delay the grow. Wouldn't...

That's interesting. On my biggest plant, it seems to be maturing from the bottom up. I've included a few pictures.

This must be belated April fool's joke.

I'm at 9 1/2 weeks of flowering. The hairs on the main cola are still primarily white, but progressing nicely toward a nice amber. The lower mini-colas are 80% amber. There has been a noticeable increase in bud weight and size in the past week or so, but there also has been some new growth...

Is there a light fixture in the room? If so, you can (carefully, with the power off) take the light fixture out, and there should be a clear path to the attic. You can vent that way. If there is any type of A/C duct you can vent into the A/C system (as long as it's isolated from neighboring...

I wouldn't use any less than 18 hours of light a day for the veg cycle. Go any lower and you may risk hermies or pre-mature flowering.

I beg to differ. Voltage has nothing to do with lethality. Amperage is what kills. It takes less than 1 amp to stop a human heart, whereas a normal 110v home circuit is capable of delivering almost 30 amps. 110v home power can easily kill you. In contrast, a shock of static electricity can be...
