i know one I checked on sells a rebuild kit up front. the theory sounds good though. still looking for some conformation of expected improvements in yeild. The poteiential for power savings is a giving.

I have a 4' x 8' grow table and am currently using 4 each 400 watt hps lamps with 39 each 23 watt cfls. (flowering only) I am wanting to phase out the cfls. At first I thought I would just get a couple of more HPS but I am thinking going with a light mover instead. What I would like to do is...

I agree with slowing of the water as the plant nears harvest. My experience has it at about 75% loss of weight.

You still have some time yet.

Hey I just tried some rockwool cubes to start some seeds. The directions on the package called to use a lemon to adjust the PH and soak just breifly. After that place them in a warm humid enviroment. Within 48 hrs I had sprouts up on 15 of 16 seeds. I had one dud seed. I am impressed with it as...

The only way I could see this making any sense if you were in fact trying to replicate natures light cycle. Dusk/ Dawn , Noon/ Night and all the in betweens. To simply have half on half off will extend bulb life is about all thats going to do. For the money it would be better to take that extra...

whats a shame is I guess you can't use the greenhouse to flower

I would suggest the neem oil. A little goes a long ways and it also has a fungul control as well. I use it mainly in my veg room but have on ocassion had to retreat the soil in the flower room. It is organic and pleasant to work.

i use neem oil and it works real well in keeping pest and fungal problems in check. It is also pleasant to use as well.

Looking at your pic I would believe you are overwatering just a little. I have had that very same trouble and still do from time to time. I am thinking it should bounce back, a good sign would be for the leaves to start cupping back towards the light. As most have said it is best to let the...

Hey this sounds like something seed producers would not want you to know. My one exprience with an autoflowering strain was through a freebie and because you canot clone them i have not purchased any. what I was wondering is if you start with a feminized strain do you lose that trait. Also I...

yep get them lights closer

dont over analyze it. the law would have to be already on your case to be checking your mail and like most have said if customs tagged it then you get a letter.

you can make an airlock by running a tube to another bottle with water just make sure you seal your connections
