Sorry for such a long delay, I just got a job, so I've been in and out all the time while I go through meetings, training etc etc... Anyways, they aren't as plump as I'd hoped by now, but I think the N deficiency slowed them a bit. Other than that I can't complain, they smell great and look...

Major Nitrogen deficiency! :-( Half the plants turned so yellow they began getting pale-white. I've been giving them Sensi Grow to pump the N up, they've gotten 3 waterings of treatment and they're starting to get that green on the leaves again. Other than that, they've still been growing...

Agreed. Mixed lighting seems to work really well. I use to use CFL/LED but changed over to HPS + LED for better coverage. It has been getting great results so far and runs MUCH cooler than plain HPS.

Here are the last two waterings. The second is the 1/2 on all nutrients but same amount of water; I'm trying to clear out some of the chemical build-up and hit them with heavy beneficial bacteria/fungi/micro in 3 days. Last week Flower watering (same watering 3 days later at 1/2): 6 Gallons...

Just wanted to post some picture updates for day 16 flowering. Happy Halloween :fire: and Happy Growing! :weed:

So, I've been on the fence between organics and synthetics for a while. I have been trying to cycle both to the best of my ability without having all the living micro organisms die every time I water with synthetics. (you can see my current grow in my signiture for watering/nutrient details)...

It's been 10 days since the 24h darkness + the 12/12 light switch. So far, they are looking pretty great. The Bud Blood really got them to shoot hairs fast! They are already pushing out little bud sites. Here is the standard watering that they'll be getting for the next few weeks. Flower...

Updates - Day 4 of flowering. Flies seem to be under control and no sign of a mite return (yet). So far, so good :weed: Going to hit them with the same watering as last time; a little Bud Blood and a dash of Connoisseur A/B, maybe a little Nirvana and Mother Earth organic tea to keep the soil...

LED's are mainly for long-term usage and heat restrictions. I have a small closet with a 4" intake fan and one house fan, running ~1200w (400w is HPS, 820w LED). If I were running ALL HPS the temps would be over 90F, but it runs a cool 78F. I've been using the same LEDs for almost a year now...

Molasses is really good for flowering. Add it in weeks 2-6 to see the most benefit. If I were you, I'd look into finding some organic compost tea for your watering regiment; something with sea kelp, bat guano, and worm castings. That will help enrich the soil with nutrients. You can usually find...

The bugs in my room are finally under control. I think the soil I'm using has a lot of stow-aways. I recently hit the plants with Organicide (which smells TERRIBLE!) to help control the mites, but it had no effect on the fungus gnats! So, I hit the whole room with a 'Raid' brand Fogger. Since...

If the cold becomes a problem only when the lights are off, I recommend a space heater to click on shortly after the lights go off. If it's colder at all times, I suggest another HPS light AND a space heater. Do the same thing with the heater and only use it when lights are off, the extra light...

After 14 days under 18/6, the plants are now in their 24h of darkness as of a couple hours ago. Tomorrow they begin day 1 under 12/12. Here is how they look so far! The stalk on a few of them is unreal-thick for their size. The little guy by the lighter is only about 8" tall, but the stalk is...

1g per 1 watt is very hard. I don't want to burst your bubble, but there is no magic method that gets huge yields every time. Just a lot of practice, perfect conditions, tried/tested nutrient ratios, and good old fashion experience. First off, I don't think sharing pots is a good idea; however...

LED + HPS represent. Running 810w LED and 400w HPS currently. I'd like to upgrade to a 600-1000w HPS soon, But I love the mixed spectrum from the two lighting sources!!!
