do u know anything about ordering seeds online? good/ bad idea? good seed banks or any to stay clear of?
Thats where most of us started. i ordered mine from Attitude I ordered all feminzed seeds: 6 White Russian from Serious Seeds ( all of them germinated and grew)
i also ordered a 5 pack from greenhouse seed co. Super Lemon Haze ( havent planted yet)
Attitude is pretty reliable just dont get nervous when it takes so long because they come from Europe. Also i ordered a shirt to grantee delivery they basically put your seeds inside a tightly folded T-Shirt..Oh yeah and I used a very close friends credit card not mine, I dont suggest using anything with your name on it to buy seeds online..

here a few pics of the ladies today. they are 12 and 13 inches tall and are becoming quite bushy. my ? is should i wait longer to force flowering or go ahead. im running a 250w convertible, mh/hps. do most growers go by size of plants or root ball size? seeing that everywhere i read that a 250w wont penetrate much deeper into the canopy than a foot or so. and that they'll prob triple in size..3ft tall..and info would be greatly appreciated thanks in advanceCIMG0045.jpgCIMG0043.jpgCIMG0044.jpg o and ill take more pics of the roots if anyone would like to see

If youre worried about light penetration, why dont you LST them?

has anyone ever tried to retrofit an exhaust fan used to vent an oven for venting a grow room?

I seen people use bathroom ones but never a oven one , you can try a cheaper method buy going to a electronics store and buying a few computer fans some people use those and the grow stores sell them.

the fans used for cooling the tower for ur pc? i ask because i gutted a house and got a hood vent for free. pulls 2.3 amps tho..badazz but on the tag where it says cfm its blank, its a broan. never thought of it BeaverHuntr but the pc fans must pull hardly any amps eh? right now i only have 3 amps to spare before i have to add a circuit..

I'm no electrician but any fan that sucks are out and exhausts it will work and yes the PC ones that cool towers are used by a lot of indoor growers, give that oven fan a try and write a DYI ( Do it yourself ) thread for other guys that like build stuff..

PC Fans are a waste of time unless your going real small... Look into an Axial Fan around 100 CFM for a 4"

thanks weedler, thats just what i did, went an bought a pair of axial fans. i put a few hours into making a air box for a fan that came out of a hood vent for a kitchen stove. worked great in the end but used almost 2.5 amps and in my opinion got too hot after running for 10 minutes or so. so anyone who wants to save a few bucks and use what u can find. save ur pennies and get the real deal. dont be cheap like me lol and cost u even more. these axials i bought a 4in and a 6in dont use a amp between the 2 and i think about 80-100 watts total. peace and happy growing
