    Crazy high temps for 8 hours. Pull and start over?

    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...

    250 watt HPS proximity to sprouts?

    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.

    250 watt HPS proximity to sprouts?

    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...

    277 volt ballast using 240 volts?

    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?

    277 volt ballast using 240 volts?

    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...

    End-of-flower bulk

    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...

    End-of-flower bulk

    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...

    End-of-flower bulk

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

    End-of-flower bulk

    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...

    Ventallation Problems and Questions

    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...

    one hour of light @ night

    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.

    120v vs 240v

    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...

    250w in a 150w ballast?

    The bulb will probably strike and glow, but your friend won't get any benefit out of it, as it won't produce any more lumens than a 150. It's also not good for the bulb, and will greatly reduce it's life.

    Anyone Using Tor?

    Tor really is the ONLY choice for properly spoofing an IP. However, for it to work it must be set up correctly. When used in conjunction with Privoxy (which comes bundled with it now), and the Firefox plugin it's unbeatable. I think the confusion lies with folks misunderstanding what Tor...

    When ordering seeds

    Use cash at a retailer to buy a pre-paid Visa or MasterCard. I use the Tor network when browsing and ordering from seed sites. It anonymizes traffic hiding your real IP address. Use the prepaid CC to order, use a fake name (if you must use a name at all), and don't have it shipped to your house...

    Anyone Using Tor?

    To access this site, or for other applications? If you so, do you also take steps to anonymize your e-mail?

    MH vs. HPS (heat)

    I understand your need to "KISS," however you were making some pretty wild claims there. I beleive you stated a 400 watt space heater will give off the same amount of heat as a 400 watt bulb. That's completely out of the realm of comprehension. So, forgive me for politely correcting you. You...
