Hey all. We are about 2 months into a soil grow under a 430W HPS. Plants are 2 1/2 ft tall. Been using the GH Flora series supplemented with diamond nectar and floralicious grow. The GH feeding schedule shows a transitional period from veg to flower. So how long is the transitional period...

Come on. Anyone?

Speaking from experience in using a 400W HPs in a closet, I would say that is way too much. Of course, if you do a hell of a job properly venting the area, it should be fine.

We currently have a 400W HPS ballast & Hortilux bulb. It works great for veg & flowering, but we have been debating on getting an mh setup. To save some money, we have been looking into a conversion mh bulb that will run on our ballast. Has anyone used one before? Is it just as efficient as...

Considering both of my roomies are in on it financially, they arent going to go ratting me out anytime soon. No, they are just stupid. They must seem to think the package is going go through DEA headquarters or something where they will see mylar and come bust us.

I have found a killer deal on some equipment (mylar and a reflector), something that could save me about 50 dollars or so. But they are bitching and moaning about it getting delivered to the house. Going on about how it leaves a paper trail, and that we will start getting watched if I did it...

Dude, go to any local head/hookah shop and buy cleaner for it. The one I use is called Formula 420. It's 10 dollars for a decent size bottle and works like a charm. Cleans even the nastiest of bongs in a minute or so.

I already have a reflector, it's just this one can potentially work better for us. Of course, given how it is built, it may just be a waste of space.

Our friends created a homemade reflector and gave one to us for use with a 400w HPS bulb. It was awesome of them to do it, so we naturally took it. Upon closer inspection though, I have my doubts. First of all, it is cut from thin plate steel. The inside has no material lining it to reflect the...

CFLs for seedling, HPS for veg/flowering. Mh is preferable for vegetative growth, but if you can only afford one, go with the HPS.

HPS lights work just fine for veg, just keep the light cycle 18/6. Depending on the strain, you can move it to the HID light after about 6 weeks after being under the CFLs, or if growing has peaked under them.

I pretty much use the General Hydroponics line of nutes & supplements exclusively. I had success with them before, and they are reasonably affordable for my budget. Before, I used the Flora Series (Micro, Gro, & Bloom) along with Floralicious Bloom and a bottle of Diamond Nectar. I went to the...

Been almost 72 hours now and they still haven't shown up. Either it's not a priority, or they are working on getting a search warrant. I just wish they would get here already so I can be done with this shit.

Look, here's what happened. 1. Me and roommate #1 are working/drinking away from home. 2. Roommate #2 throws massive party. 3. Roommate #2, for some reason, LEAVES massive party in the middle of it. Cops came AFTER he left. No one at the apartment actually lives there. 4. Cops come to break...

I wasn't there when the cops came. By the time I got back from work (20 minutes later at the most), they were gone. Apartment was empty. Nothing was confiscated. Today we got the call from the property manager. The property manager knows, the cop know, I think pretending I never had lights...
