I get what your talking about man ! Perpetual growing is the shit, but it has it's pro's and con's .
What are you using to divide those two sections? also is there any difference in the 4 foot bar lamps? fluorescent? Do some research, adjust set-up if needed. do some light tests while your plants are still small. Ya'Know'WhaiMean ?
They look healthy though man your starting strong

Its just going to be basic wood frame and using chipboard for the walls to hold down the cost a little and sealing the gaps with bathroom caulk. oh no worries on the lighting i've used foro's for the last 3 years on closet grows and i think 2 possibly 3.. 6 footers will be enough for the room if not ill just line the ceiling with em for 12 bucks a pop fuck it the more the better lol and then come next winter i will be adding 4 footers around my grow on the sides also. :bigjoint:

Hi, to introduce myself I am a first time grower and would be happy to help by sharing what I have learned so far. I finally and thankfully had enough dough saved up to 'do it right' with the proper equipment and my first batch has just started to flower.....

My experiment: To determine if a combination of 12 hrs of 400W MH plus 12 hrs of 1000W HPS better for the plant than just leaving it under the 400W MH for 24 hrs?

The Setup: I have 2 rooms - one for veg, with a 400W MH, and one for flowering, with a 1000W HPS. I know that plants like a constant environment and that they like the blue spectrum from the MH bulb for vegetating - but the 1000W HPS is so much brighter, they may like that too!

The Question: Is this just a stupid idea :dunce: & an indication that I have too much time on my hands (to move the vegging plants back and forth between rooms each day) or am I sooo smart by making the most of my bulbs/electricity?

Any thoughts?
I will keep you posted

Hello My Brothas,

What's up with JWH-018? I am a raw material importer and supplier and I have been getting killed with inquiries and requests of JWH-018 and other RC's.

I'm new, what strains could you easily grow outside in the UK? And what do you need to do for them to grow well outside, I was considering growing inside but I'm exploring all my options.

Hello everyone I'm new to the group, old to growing, I have been growing off & on for the past 40 yrs. give or take. Now that I'm semi-retired I will have more time to devote to my hobbies. I am looking forward to sharing any knowledge that I have acquired over the years, as well as gaining more, as I grow and look forward.
Thanks All 4 being here
 
Hey everyone - new to rollitup and excited to learn more about growing. Woah, i sound like a complete dork. Eh, I'm new to this and I'm just here to learn. Can't wait to see what I find out here.

I mean, books are cool, but seems like talking to people who know something about hands on stuff is a better way to go.

So, thanks now for your patience while a f up a bit...and ask alot of questions....

i grow outdoors plants:leaf: and i was wonderin how do i go about force flowering them
My experience with outdoor is that they flower on their own. Of course the downside of growing outdoors is that it is more difficult to control the environment. In this case even if you provide 12 hours of dark with a tarp you have to ask yourself - Will the plant be provided with enough light from the sun with the other 12 hours? I live in the north and our days get short early in the season.....just a thought....

OK i posted some pic's a while back and just thought id update a little
This is a CFL grow pushing 5400K its basically just a bunch of mommy's (northern lights/big-bud seed cross i get from a friend of mine) getting big enough to clone while I'm slowly building my new growing environment. I'm using 2 full daylight spectrum tubes (made to simulate daytime for lizards) and one CFL bulb (soft white) for the lighting on a modified tube hood and man does it pump out some light, and the girlz LOVE IT !!

I have them on full nutrient strength ( 24-8-16) now as i slowly brought them up to full strength over a period of one month that they have been growing now and after a full strength water last night they blew up over night so i thought i would share with all my friends here. Hope you enjoy the show.

This Is The New CFL Setup



This Is The Mommy's



This Is The BEFORE Picture ... SEE WHAT I MEAN !! WOW !!




New Growth !!



Close Up 1



Close Up 2



Like I Said .. FREE-KIN WOW !!

i cant wait to see what these girlz are gonna do in the upcoming month !!

Oh as for the nutrients I'm feeding right now i have my wife make it up for me she has a degree in horticulture and makes me some killer plant food. .. here is the ingredients and the percentages if you wanna try it. you can get some of it easily at the lawn and garden or order it online !

ammonium sulfate 3.5-4%
urea nitrogen 20.5-21%
potassium phosphate .8%
soluble potash 16%
boron .02%
water soluble copper sulfate .10%
water soluble iron sulfate .05%
chelated manganese .0004%
molybdenum .0001%
water soluble zink .06%

after mixing all together add about 1 heaping tablespoon to a gallon of distilled water and ITS ON .. as you can see lol

this is used every other watering and also every other watering they get strait distilled water with 1/2 cup black-strap molasses dissolved in it on a alternating schedule.

:!: Side Note: SORRY about the dates on the pix :sad: my camera is a old ass 2 megapixel and it wont keep the correct time or date on it :wall: i gave up trying a long ass time ago but these pix were shot the date of this post.:bigjoint:

Hi,

Can anyone guide me in the right direction? Im on my 3rd grow and I wanna know if I should trim my girls when they get bushy? The guy who helped me set up told me that big fan leafs take away from plans growth, so I should always remove all large dark fan leafs starting from veg up thru 6 week of bloom. He told me this would not affect the plan in a negative way. As a result by girls are never bushy like most pics I see in different treads. Not bald just not too dense in leafs.

I have had ok result the way Im doing it now about 3oz per girl but everyone tell me I should get at least 6-9oz per plant. Is it due to me trimming too much off?

I am using EBB bucket system w/clay balls.

After reading many post I still dont have a clear answer. Can someone help?

got a quick question as to watering. Is it better to water so that 10 to 20% of the water runs out the bottum or should i "dose" the girls out? thanks for the info
