what kind of soil are you using? how much perlite? since you say you were ready to flower in a few days then I would think you have a good idea of when your plants need water.... note: I usually go by weight of the pot (or bag) to decide when to water. When it's time to water the soil will be...

Anyhow I think yellow showed some restraint by not naming the site until he had all the facts. But Now he does, He knows how many fems he has, they never answered his email.... so what is stopping you from giving the site you ordered from & the strain??

Are we talking 1.9 lbs. wet? congrats if that's dry weight. But this just doesn't sound right to be getting 1.93 lbs from 600 watts in soil on 3rd grow. it's not hydro... Is there any CO2? 1.93 lbs is 1.44 grams per watt. That's off the scale if that's dry weight. Sounds like wet weight to me in...

yes it will certainly cool it, I was just saying you could cool it better if you were able to position the intake so that it was not sucking air from directly over the light. If you can position it to intake air from anywhere lower than the light & maybe in a corner it would cool somewhat...

exactly what are you trying to do? if you are cloning some cuttings that's one thing. but it sounds like you're trying to do something else ???

I picked up some MG Perlite & it did have fertilizer in it, although it's possible they make both. As for other options, i'm not sure. Do you live near even a small city?? Maybe try calling some of the landscaping or greenhouse businesses around & perhaps they could tell you where to get soil.

hi monster, good luck to you on your grow. First of all, if you haven't already bought your soil then I would recommend getting something else. Scott's, or Miracle grow or any of the other soils that have fertilizer already in the soil are really undesirable. You want to be able to control what...

That's a good point. You should probably try to position the fan so it Is not intaking air from directly over your light. As for the Coolwhite / Warmwhite question. If you have 4 cfl's then I would say 3 coolwhite / 1 warmwhite. You coolwhites are best for vegging. When you switch to flower...

I think I'm ready to try a hydro system for the first time. So I'm looking to build an ebb & flow system. 2 actually. 1 will have a 3'x3' tray. The other will have a 6' x 3' tray. I plan on using net pots w/ hydroton & I plan on putting everything together myself whereever possible to save some...

Perhaps not a hermie but just a str8 up male & you don't know the difference between sexes????? I'm just guessing here. But Pics would be very helpful.

I recently germinated some that were prolly 5 years old. prolly only about 1/2 of them germinated, but I would think you could germinate seeds 20 years old if they have been kept in decent conditions.

I use the seeds folded up in a few damp paper towels. place them in a dark warm place. Check them every day, it can be as early as a day, but usually 3-5 days. If they haven't cracked after 10 days i would toss 'em out.

Wow, your room looks sweet! what size is your room? I would consider moving up to an HPS on your next grow if you can. Everything looks nice & clean & neat. I love it.

yes, when your dealing w/ CFL's you mainly just need to pay attention to actual watts, not the "equivilant watts", if your bulbs are 23 ACTUAL watts then you could put 4 of them in a lamp that can handle 100 watts. The "equivilant watts" are basically just a marketing deal, they have no...

I would say, don't use the skinny little lamp cord. I would use something w/ a grounded plug on it. If you don't have something @ the house you wanna cut off then pick but a cheap cord, but something cheap @ a yard sale, or hell dumpster dive something if you're that broke. But all that may...
