I finally shut down my indoor op a few weeks ago, and now i'm taking it outside. This will be a new experience for me, and I can already tell I'm not prepared. Just a few days out there and I spotted some bugs and powdery mildew. I kind of just left em out there for a few weeks and haven't...

So here's another "are they ready?" thread. The thing that has me questioning is the fact that I had some hermies this round, and everything should be pollenated (not too badly, but still :spew: right?). There are a few ripe looking seeds on each plant poking out and I can tell the seeds are...

Alright so I know you've seen the threads with this title HPS vs CFL. Most will claim HPS is superior for flowering, while a small minority defend the CFLs. I thought I'd share my thoughts and the comparison I made between the two types of lighting, and which is best for flowering. I found...

Hello everyone, I finally decided to share my hard work with you all, it's a little bit of a ghetto DIY set up but I hope you enjoy. At first I was looking at grow tents (Secret Jardin, Hydro Hut, etc), and I thought to myself "why not just build my own?" So I did. The setup is 3 tents...

I just finished setting up my new flowering room, and this is going to be my first time using my HPS. I got a 600w electronic with a cool tube and a 250cfm inline squirrel cage fan. I also have an A/C unit next to the flowering area cooling the space so that my passive intake is cool air. I'm...

Hey guys, sorry if this topic has been opened before. I'm setting up a new flowering room and the only solid thing to mount my ballast against would be the plywood on the walls. I'm using a 600w digital lumatek ballast, would this be ok? I know magnetic ballasts get hot, but are the digital...

So I've been vegging 16 seedlings in soil for 8 weeks now on 18/6, and 2 are showing :hump:female preflowers:hump: and I haven't seen any male preflowers yet. I was wondering if I should keep the 2 of 16 in the veg area or move them to my flowering area for some 12/12 action. My goal was to...

I've got a 4x4 flowering room under construction, and a veg box and a clone box. I want to try a soil version of a rotating SoG setup. I'm wondering if I'd have room for 16 females in the flowering area? With 16 sq ft. would that be too tight of a squeeze. Keep in mind I'm after colas only...

Ok so I have what is probably a dumb question. You hear a lot of people throwing out these names (e.g. haze, kush, skunk) just referring to some killer bud. I've also seen people refer to a plant's pheno saying "that looks like some kush" or "I like the way haze strains taste." So to sum...

Hey all, I was just wondering what reality is like in those states that let you have mmj. I mean, if you were a cardholder, would you still be able to live like a normal person? Could people discriminate against you b/c you choose to self medicate? (i.e. job interviews, being in public). If you...

So I have this workshop outside that's not very well insulated, and I was trying to get some seedlings started out there. The temps are running at about 44 degrees F with the lights on. I was wondering if a ceramic heater would be enough to get the temps where I need them? Or since the...

I don't know if any of you have seen or used astrolar blankets, but I was wondering if this looks like a good idea for a DIY tent cover. I'm thinking of making a 4'x4'x6.5' metal frame for a tent, and wrapping these astrolar blankets for insulation, light tightness, and reflectivity...

I'm thinking about using these http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100396559 for a 4'x4'x6.5' tent space. I was thinking 3 or 4 of them. One for intake, one for exhaust, and the other 1 or 2 to cool a 400 or 600 watt...

Hey all, I was considering purchasing a HPS setup for up to about a 4'x4' sized tent space. This is going to be the first HPS that I've ever owned, and I kind of want as many lumens as i can get. I was thinking around 600 watts and using a cool tube. But I've seen alot of ppl here using 400...

I've been thinking how to come up with the ultimate grow box to flower plants in, and I've seen several grow tents for sale on ebay and what not. I was wondering if you RIU'ers could tell me if they are worth buying. I've noticed a few people in here have used them, and they seem like they would...

Today, I just found out my best bud connect was busted. :cry: He had another non-pot-related addiction, and I'm afraid it got him caught. So it looks like I'll have to say goodbye to the bomb ass cali weed for a while and go back to mid grade. I'm smokin my last nug of juicy fruit right...

Has anyone ever seen this trippy 1973 film called Fantastic Planet? This isn't my art, but it is so wierd to watch when you're stoned. You can see the whole thing on youtube, it's broken into 8 parts. I'm sure not everyone will like it, but I think it's pretty cool. :bigjoint: YouTube -...

I'm new to the outdoor thing, as I've only grown indoors, and I was wondering what would be the best way to plant mature plants outdoors? If growing outdoors, I would prefer things to looks as natural as possible, and I'd want the container (if using one) to be burried to the same level as the...

I'm sure a lot of you smokers like myself have had to take a drug test at some point in life, and I'm sure you've all seen the detox kits and crap that flush you out...and sure they work but they are expensive and a pain in the ass. Well ever since I took organic chemistry in college, I've...

Hey guys, I just harvested half of my plant yesterday, and I have been growing in aero/hydro. I've read some posts where hydro growers say that their hydroponically grown buds don't take as long to dry. I read one user dried for 5-7 days and it was overkill, and it over dried their plants and...
