so, I'm pretty happy with the way these are going. 2 OG Kush and 2 LSD, each topped for 2-3 cola buds per plant. I got the stretch under control this cycle. Using a 400W HPS with a 150W CFL flourowing for side lighting. bongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmilie

that setup is fine if you are looking to grow an eigth in two months... if you don't kill them first... african violet potting mix is not right. you're even better off with miracle grow. And two 40W flouros... barely enough to get that eigth for two plus months work and attention if you're...

ok, look at it this way... A) you are probably a better grower than most people B) it's easier to grow good weed in smaller batches C) most bud on the streets is grown in huge quantities D) if you grow almost ANY weed using good nutrients and proper attention it will turn out tasty and strong...

OK so recently I expanded the op to another room, caretaken by a good friend who was interested in growing but had no experience. Although relatively close by, I couldn't always be there to answer his questions so I came up with an awesome solution, that also provides some modest security. I put...

ah, autoflowers are tricky too, not the most stable genetics, I'd be wary of cloning autos. But you really can't beat an aeroponic cloner for speed anyway, there's nothing like it. when I was doing it in rockwool and water I never got any to root, it's tough. They love the mist like crazy. I'd...

I built my cloner too... just used a rubbermaid from home depot, some pvc, spray heads and a pump. it's a 30site machine I put together for maybe $80 tops... works great. first cycle I had 90% root in five days or less EDIT: I found the key was a regular aquarium heater at 80-85 degrees F in...

amen bro. And these Lemon Sour Diesel's are champions, they can take tons of abuse. they grow so fast and love their nutes. thanks for the advice guys

thanks, yeah i guess itd make sense to cut clones after watering... don't want any air bubbles in those stems... thanks brah

Hey all, on my third cycle, cycle 2 turned out great but yield was down. Had to chop a couple herms. anyway got some Lemon Sour Diesel and OG Kush going, looking like beauties. So I've got another room going up and im gonna clone these babies. Questions follow 1. what's the best time to cut...

yayyyyyyyy

The ff nutes are amazing! A single set of the three has lasted me three growsw so far, and I have like half left. The beasty budz in particular is amazing. I can't picture growing without them.open sesame really kickstarts flowering. Cha ching is the only one you have to be really careful with...

Why do you want to veg them for over a month? They will be MONSTERS under that 400W HPS if they veg longer than 2 weeks. remember they can stretch up to three times the size of veg state in flowering. Also, it's not as hard to sex your plants as you think; you have a pretty wide margin of error...

Just wanted to bump this thread again and give mad respect to these bulbs. My harvest last time was insane with this bulb. Shit was TOO sticky. I highly recommend these for veg, and the last week of flowering, or even your whole grow Here's my current grow...

If you want UV get a good Metal Halide or even better, Ceramic Metal Halide. Don't waste time with CFLs except as A) supplemental lighting or B) if you have a small space. Why anyone would use over 250 W of CFL is a mystery. It's incredibly expensive and inefficient compared to HPS or MH. I hit...

MUCH more resinous than HPS huh? Do your buds look like this? I took this last night
