    When is a Seedling not a Seedling?

    Hello All, Quick question. My seeds germinated about a week ago. Since then, they have been under the light 24/7. I want to move them to an 18/6 schedule but I am not sure when to do it. If I do it too soon will they stretch? When is the optimal, safe time to change the light...

    Advice Needed - Is my cabinet too crowded?

    The lights were off and raised for those pics. I try to keep them about two to three inches from the plants. I check on them and adjust them each night. I have 6 100w CFLs in that small cabinet. Not sure if that is enough. I can easily add more. Again the size is 5' hight x 4' wide x 2'...

    Advice Needed - Is my cabinet too crowded?

    Not sure if that is good or bad. This is only my third grow. Each has gotten better for me and this is by far the best. My plants are lush and green with no visible signs of problems that I can see. That spacing may be due to how I topped the plants and when I decided to transplant and...

    Should this question have been posted in another thread instead of this one? I thought this was the right place for it.

    Advice Needed - Is my cabinet too crowded?

    I have tried a new grow in my cabinet using Subcool’s Supersoil recipe I found on this site. I can’t rave about this soil enough. The growth and health of my plants have presented me with a problem I have not had since I built this cabinet. My cabinet size is roughly, 5’ high, 4’ wide, and...

    How come I can't tell the sex of my plants?

    My last grow was Cindy99 and about a week into flower I could easily identify the males from females. Now I am growing BC Kush x Mango Haze seed I got from Beanho. I am two weeks into flower and still have no idea which plants are male or female. They just are not showing. Is it the strain...

    The Best Diy Ez Walmart Carbon Filter for Micro Grows Zen Style

    Crazy, If you look back at my pictures you will see that I did include a pic of the inside and my current grow taken just under a week ago. Is there something more specific you want a picture of? Peace

    The Best Diy Ez Walmart Carbon Filter for Micro Grows Zen Style

    The mesh cup I got from Office Max was exactly like the Wal-Mart mesh cup except in silver instead of black. It had a very small lip around the top, but nothing that gets in the way. (The Office Max cup was larger of course)

    The Best Diy Ez Walmart Carbon Filter for Micro Grows Zen Style

    I can say that the smell has been cut down my at least 95% with the filters installed. The number may be higher if my box was sealed around the edges a little better. Pics as promised.

    The Best Diy Ez Walmart Carbon Filter for Micro Grows Zen Style

    After finding this thread yesterday I found all the materials needed and finished the install this morning. It was VERY easy to make. I have a homemade grow box that is about 2.5' deep, 4' wide and 5' tall. To vent it I bought a simple bathroom ceiling exhaust fan at HomeDepot for $13. It...

    The Best Diy Ez Walmart Carbon Filter for Micro Grows Zen Style

    Love this thread! After reading I went right out to try to find the supplies in my area. Wal-Mart had the small cup size but not the larger one. When I asked about it I was told the larger was was fazed out and they would not be getting any more. After reading other posts I realized that...

    Subcool's Super Soil

    I am curious to see a response to Sepsis question above about the mold. Is that normal? If it appears in your batch what should you do? Also, has anyone tried using Supersoil in a self watering container? I was thinking about making one of the EarthTainer's out of two 5 gallon buckets...

    To vent or not to vent....that is my question

    I am one week away from my first harvest. Started with three plants, one died, one was male and one has made it to the finish line. I am growing in my shed in a cabinet I built. The shed has a/c. My biggest problem so far has been the smell. I can't believe how much one plant can smell. I...

    Droopy, Sick Looking Plant, Please Help!

    Thanks for the tips on Ph. I've adjusted the Ph on all my water. I haven't had the chance to use any of it yet. Turns out that my problem may have been overwatering, which I don't understand because the plant next to it (Which turned out to be a male by the way and I had to remove it) was...

    What should my water's ph be? 6.5 - 7 - or 7.5?

    Droopy, Sick Looking Plant, Please Help!

    That is what is confusing to me. I am not sure how to raise the Ph of my water and Lower the Ph of my Fert at the same time. How is that done? I would think that if I continued to water the high Ph soil with the low Ph water, that they should balance. No? How would you do it?
