Thanks - I hope more ppl find it. Growing on the cheap, you need all the help you can get.

This prolly belongs in a different forum, if so, please move it if applicable. The businesses listed here (http://www.bradsdeals.com/blog/2010/09/22/160-stores-with-military-discounts/) give discounts to veterans. Bring Military ID or copy of your DD214. I know a guy who keeps a copy of his...

Found this and thought I'd share. This has helped, cause I don't trust what some of the "cheap" looking CFL say they will produce. Lumen output is secondary to the color spectrum, IMHO.... http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/reviews/news/4215199 Enjoy!

I agree with jawbrodt. Based on this grow I'm in, the more "side lighting" I added has definetly made a difference. Larger buds throughout. Tighter buds, thicker and longer. I also have used one large 150watt cfl @ 6k for the flower with all the rest @ 2.7k. I read somewhere it is good to...

I think it is. I have a set-up with 7 top down lights. Plus three side lights per plant. CFL ratings of ~60 and 100 watt on top, and 100watts on the side. My 1st grow was closer to your total lumen output, but the buds never got dense - they stayed somewhat loose. Now, with the added lights...

Well said - I never considered that. Anyone heard of tutti frutti?

No problem!

Nice link. +rep. Finally can verify tuttifrutti is bullshit.

I just read this thread and I can't believe the venom thrown at stonedmetalhead. He has consistently been "fair" in his statements and not once did he begin any argument/discussion with name calling. He has provided info to back up his sh*t and I have seen no others do the same. You know, like...

so that is just a bit over 8 weeks...gonna be close. I've heard of and asked about cold water shock as a means of accelerating harvest, but I've no idea if that is feasible...especially at this point. I heard you water with cold h2o and can lower temps a bit to "fool" them into thinking they...

Riddleme all this reading has been sooooo freakin helpful. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE EFFORT! Quick question about the 4th pic. Plant has red in the stems - like rhubard almost. My plants do as well. I read somewhere on RIU (I could find it if challenged too) that red in the stalks meant...

'scribed\ I enjoyed your scroungers guide, as well as your humor - I expect more of this !!! LOL Stan, I also scrounged for my first grow. Including an according door (had to have in the case of my grow area) I spent about 60 USD. The door I found at a hardwarestore - discontiued floor model...

Like I said - I found mine at a rummage sale for 5. Borrow one if you can. I'd never pay 60 for just this purpose.

good to know!
