Thanks for reading, I'm from Oregon & that's where I first stated growing herb back in 2000. Since then I've lived & grown in California, London & now in Durban SA. I've hit a bit of a road bump & I don't know what else to do but ask for help from anyone who can spare it...

How does that 50 pot EBB work? I have a 50 pot soil sog and it's a pain in the ass to water all those plants every 2 days but I don't have £6500. How do I make one? does it have to be elevated to flow back? It looks like those pots are just sitting on the ground.

what kind of nutes are you using and how much?

here we go. they aren't pretty.

I do have pics but i can't remember how to upload them

I have an ak47 outside in southern Africa. It's ready to be harvested but we've had a lot of rain lately. The weather forecast says it'll be drier the next 3 days I don't know what to do. Wait until rain is forecast and harvest the night before? Is 3 dry days long enough?

I found this--> http://www.bltdirect.com/product.php?pid=6371 would I still need a capacitor and ignitor? or can I just wire this thing to my socket out outlet? if anybody knows the answer, it's greatly appreciated.

I'm looking at a ballast right now called a HPMV ballast. it says it'll run a 100-400 HPS or 35-401 MH. I'm not really sure what it is... I only know that it's a 10th of the price of other ballasts i've looked at. here's a link: http://www.bltdirect.com/product.php?pid=6371 would I just need...

I've got a 1000 watt hps balast but a little space to grow, was wondering if I can use a 250watt bulb to reduce the heat?

Clones take on the traits of the mother plant including age so if you take a clone from a plant that already has flowers or preflowers then the clone can be ready to flower just as soon as it takes root. what do your buddy's plant that you took it from look like, is it flowering?

I brew a 5 gallon batch of ale every 7-10 days and keep in in the closet below my grow closet. that produces lots of co2 and it keeps going until it's time to bottle and then I start the next brew. it's a win win because I've always got a lot of good quality inexpensive drink and my plants get...

That might be ok if you water cure. I'm not sure as I've never done it but I've heard good things about it. Supposedly it removes all the chemicals and gives you a nice smoke but diminishes your end weight.

you can clip your plant whenever you want and dry it in the microwave but it'll taste nasty, have little to no effect and it'll thin your final yield quite a bit. . . have patience, it'll be worth the wait

thanks. I'll sort something out.

I'm looking for a short, high yielding, low odor plant for a sog grow under cfl and there are quite a few choices. Just thought I'd ask what you folks have tried and reccomend. . . the odors not that big of an issue but I don't want something that will make my whole flat smell. thanks
