    Asking for Help

    Thanks for reading, I'm from Oregon & that's where I first stated growing herb back in 2000. Since then I've lived & grown in California, London & now in Durban SA. I've hit a bit of a road bump & I don't know what else to do but ask for help from anyone who can spare it...

    My Super Grow Room

    How does that 50 pot EBB work? I have a 50 pot soil sog and it's a pain in the ass to water all those plants every 2 days but I don't have £6500. How do I make one? does it have to be elevated to flow back? It looks like those pots are just sitting on the ground.

    ready for harvest but it keeps raining.

    I have an ak47 outside in southern Africa. It's ready to be harvested but we've had a lot of rain lately. The weather forecast says it'll be drier the next 3 days I don't know what to do. Wait until rain is forecast and harvest the night before? Is 3 dry days long enough?

    I've got a 1000 watt hps balast but a little space to grow, was wondering if I can use a 250watt bulb to reduce the heat?

    strange fruit

    Clones take on the traits of the mother plant including age so if you take a clone from a plant that already has flowers or preflowers then the clone can be ready to flower just as soon as it takes root. what do your buddy's plant that you took it from look like, is it flowering?

    how do you make co2????????

    I brew a 5 gallon batch of ale every 7-10 days and keep in in the closet below my grow closet. that produces lots of co2 and it keeps going until it's time to bottle and then I start the next brew. it's a win win because I've always got a lot of good quality inexpensive drink and my plants get...

    Should I bust out a can of woop ass?

    That might be ok if you water cure. I'm not sure as I've never done it but I've heard good things about it. Supposedly it removes all the chemicals and gives you a nice smoke but diminishes your end weight.

    1st time grower When can I sample?

    you can clip your plant whenever you want and dry it in the microwave but it'll taste nasty, have little to no effect and it'll thin your final yield quite a bit. . . have patience, it'll be worth the wait

    what's a good low riding strain?

    I'm looking for a short, high yielding, low odor plant for a sog grow under cfl and there are quite a few choices. Just thought I'd ask what you folks have tried and reccomend. . . the odors not that big of an issue but I don't want something that will make my whole flat smell. thanks

    cfl bulbs from walmart?!?

    I wouldn't reccomend the 150w cfl. they put out much more heat than the lower wattage cfl's and the lumens just don't add up to make it worth it. I'd say you're better off with a bunch of low wattage bulbs.

    510 actual watts CFL grow 6 female plants

    man that's sexy. what kind of heat do those 85 watt bulbs put out? I've got a really small closet and put a 125 watt bulb in with a mix of low wattage bulbs and started getting heat issues so I'm going to replace it with multiple low wattage bulbs.

    Is it time to harvest?

    Just squint really hard through the magnifying glass. looking at the pics though it still looks like all the trichs are white and could mature a bit more.

    That should work as long as you have a kelvin rating of 6000k or so. Sometimes they won't give you a kelvin rating but a cool white will work. I used to 23 watt bulbs through the veg cycle on 3 plants and it worked just fine
