    Question about 400w HPS/MH grow light

    I actually grew 12 plants (because that's what would fit in the closet that I constructed) under a 400w light, and it worked out fine. I bought some of those square pots so that they'd fit in a very tight 4x3 grid. If you're going to grow that many plants in such a tight group, you're better...

    Question about 400w HPS/MH grow light

    I've flowered with a 400w MH, it certainly works.. but I'd never choose it over HPS if I had a choice, you'll get far better yields with an HPS.

    Actually i don't have an answer as to whether which clone will root faster, in the water or hanging above the water because my cloner got slimy (it had light leaks at the time) and I wiped the whole run out to clean it. Maybe its just my inexperience with hydro, but I've had nothing but...

    How to get rock hard buds?

    I'd make sure you get enough light and see if that does the trick. I think light is the key to bud density.

    7 weeks flowering with CFL's AK48 and Power Skunk

    Some sativa dominant strains can take a very long time to finish, don't be surprised if the power skunk isnt done in three weeks. Am I to understand that you're going to try to take clones off of these ladies now? You might not be able to get them to root this late in the game, when you...

    7 weeks flowering with CFL's AK48 and Power Skunk

    yes, the tall one looks to be power skunk. I really have no idea how much longer it has to go, I didn't always keep the quality records that I do now.

    7 weeks flowering with CFL's AK48 and Power Skunk

    I don't think the power skunk looks even close to done,which isnt surprising for power skunk at 7 weeks. Chop the ak soon, but the power skunk needs alot more time.

    Overnight frost is it ok?

    I'm not saying a plant can't survive a frost, I'm saying that the leaves aren't going to survive a frost. When you get this kind of damage you can generally start over and catch up before the plant will recover and start growing again.

    Overnight frost is it ok?

    The slightest frost on the leaves will kill the leaves off quickly, so you'll know within 48 hours whether any damage was done or not. DownOnWax is right though, if you leave the lid on at night so that no frost ever actually settles on the leaves they'll be fine.

    First Outdoor Grow - Please Diagnose(pics)

    Burning your plants leaves with direct sunshine by not hardening them off looks almost exactly like the damage caused by frost, but I think in your case you got a frost because of the severity of the problem. I've seen a thin film of frost on windshields on days that it "didnt get cold enough...

    I have to admit, this is the best hobby I've ever had!

    My wife thinks it's an obsession for me too.. "All you ever think about are those damned plants!".. This is the best hobby ever. And the wife's right.. it is an obsession. I find myself saying nothing to her because I've resolved to not talk her ear off about weed, and I have nothing else...

    Carbon filter and exhaust fan, on 18.6, will it smell for the 6 its off???????

    In my grow, yes- the fan has to run during lights out to control the odor. I could probably rig something up to block the passive intake holes to prevent this, but I just let the fan run 24/7. It does depend on the level of smell obviously, and how close your plants actually are to the intake...

    male Or female

    that's right about the age that they start showing preflowers, and you can generally tell by looking at them. I imagine there are male and female preflower pics on this site somewhere. if they're not showing preflowers yet, wait a bit.

    Will this closet grow work???

    I can't say whether that's enough light or not, I've never flowered with CFL's. I do know that heat isn't going to be a problem with CFL's, and the one fan will be fine for circulation. The only thing I would be concerned about is exhaust and odor control. If you're leaving the doors cracked...

    Germination Kit Question

    After the pellet is wet, use a toothpick and make a hole about 1/8" deep, drop your seed in and use the tooth pick to cover the seed up. As long as you get it under a light as soon as it sprouts, you can leave it in the peat until see roots exit (which is sometimes just a matter of hours), at...
