That was a nice way of saying that you don't have enough light for all the plants you're looking to flower.

Sorry for the delay, folks. I got back on the 20th and have been busy catching up with life. The plants were in pretty good shape on my return. They were about three feet tall. While they were doing okay in their 'greenhouse space,' because of an apartment HVAC maintenance appointment, I...

If you want to fill the jar with co2 you could also just run a hose from a co2 tank and fill the jar. Since co2 is heavier than oxygen and nitrogen, it will fill from the bottom, pushing the ambient air out of the jar.

If you look around on this or other websites you'll find lots of US based seed vendors these days that you can order from online. If you're in Europe the options are even better. Sorry for your loss. Happy growing! Best of luck with 'Pop,' but I hope that it turns out to be a 'Mom!'

I want to grow AC/DC to help my friends' father with his inoperable back pain. Unfortunately I do not have access to clones, and since AC/DC is apparently just one of the phenotypes of Cannatonic, it's not directly available in seed form. It occurred to me, however, that I could grow out a...

He refers to the "300W" (135W actual) Mars Hydro. I don't have personal experience with them, but a good number of folks here have reported them failing completely out having many of the individual blurple bulbs dying.

There is a lot of antipathy here towards those lights. They are very inefficient, so you don't get the energy savings that you get with COB based LEDs like Vero or Cree. They (Mars Hydro snd their predecessor company) also have allegedly had issues with honoring their warranties. The only...

Some folks do legal grows. Some of those folks live in places where plant count is limited, such as DC where folks are limited to 3 or 6 flowering plants depending on whether there is more than one adult in the residence. So in order to optimize yield it's best to veg long and scrog 'em big.

There are Watts, and there are Watts. 1 gpw is a standard that someone using an HPS bulb can attain when everything is tuned in. That includes proper nutrition, watering, pest control, humidity management, etc. It's worth remembering that only part of those Watts get converted to light...

Did you weigh it after chopping? You can expect the dry weight to be 23-25% of the trimmed wet weight.

Still on holiday in Sri Lanka, so little to report. My friend has been checking in on the plants every four days, and she reports that they are doing well with the Claber automatic watering. I'll return next week and will update with photos then.

With your TDS meter, when you get 126 x 10 that means 1260 ppm not 1126 afaik

Also the more room you give them, the more light you give 'em, the better the air circulation, and the better their watering and nutrient schedules, the higher the yield....wiithin limits of course; e.g. after a certain amount of light you hit rapidly diminishing returns. Some folks also use...

If you want them to get as big as possible keep up-potting them to larger and larger pots... A rule of thumb I've read is 1 gallon soil ---> 1 ounce of dry flower approximately. So 15 gallon pots with the right amount of veg time will yield about a pound...

If you have access to a humidifier, that could do the trick.
