    wattage question

    If you got it, use it. Assuming you can adjust your light to plant distance and cooling appropriately.

    When to water? when light come on or right before they go off?

    It's ok to vary watering patterns with soil because soil acts as a buffer. Just try not to regularly leave the soil visibly soaked when the lights go out.

    Should i throw them into flowering now? both flowering pistils

    I'd top them, clone the tops, wait a couple of weeks, then throw the bottoms in flower when the new branches have developed a little.

    how to pull cold air through blower and hood?

    There's nowhere you can pull cooler air from? This sounds like a never ending battle without an AC.

    How's my first LST lookin'?

    I'm not sure whether you've tied tight around the plant, or if I just can't see a loop because of the angle of the photo. If you are tying tight though, try leaving enough of a loop around the plant that you can stick 2 fingers in the loop. That way you never have to worry about the stalk...

    How to wire multiple bulbs in parallel? Is this right?

    A wire can only change color if it passes through a device/load. You can not have the same color wire going into both sides of the outlet.

    Busted :( The second you know its over :(

    I keep two cans of air freshener next to my door. If someone I don't recognize is outside I start by spraying at the door and move back so that I've sprayed about a 5 foot area around the door before opening it and stepping outside. I've had everyone from neighbors to the local Sheriff come to...

    Hydro in the summer - bad idea?

    I think it depends on where you are. If you're in somewhere like Florida, AC is going to be a bigger concern than if you were in say, Colorado or Indiana.

    Automatic nutrient refill systems - Anyone use one, or know of a good DIY way?

    Admittedly I haven't read this entire thread, but I'm curious if any of the nutes being used say "shake well" on the bottle, and if they do, how do you plan on agitating your nutes while they sit waiting to be used? I'm thinking a few small air stones.
