    Help: Carbon Filter height. I sit mine on the ground any difference?

    I would never recommend anyone place their extraction fan and CF outside a grow tent, yeah, doing that completely negates the reason for using a CF, crazy! Why, because no ducting will keep in 100% of the smell leaving the grow tent before it hits the CF, and believe me running smelly weed...

    LED coverage vs actual watts

    6 plants for a 4 x 4 is 2 to many plants, sure you can stuff them in there, but you will hurt your over-all yield! And as for lighting, most people talk about the SPACE, when that shouldn't even be part of the equation because you are trying to grow individual PLANTS, not grow an entire SPACE...

    lm301h vs lm281b

    281(s) were meant only for shop replacement lighting strips (fluorescent lighting), nothing more, so trying to compare them to a lighting diode that was made for horticulture is kind of silly!!! Anyway, the cheapest bank for your buck are still the 288 boards (LM301B/H), as you can still get...

    what are really the best strains to max out yield on a limited space?

    Skywalker OG yields are always huge, yeah, SOG, are no-fuss growing plants, that are always big yielders!!!

    All Tips Drying Up

    That's nothing more than a whole lot cannibalizing going on because they are starving!! Top dress with some good organic plant food, like COM stonington blend plant food or other!

    Miracle grow

    If you want to use salts, the best there is, is to get you some PM HP mix, and mix it with 25% perlite, then use that osmocote plus, one cap full for every 2 gallons of soil, (mix it in good), and then just water 'n go, and I don't care what other salts you could use, what I just told you will...

    Leaf spots

    It could be phosphorus deficiencies, but if you just 5 weeks into veg than it most likely is a "watering to frequently" issue! Plants are not very smart, they will keep drinking and drinking, and if they drink to much they can't evaporate off all that excess water and when that happens rot forms...

    5x5 running tarantula (5plants)

    It don't look to bad, but I would definitely think about getting a good uniformed light array, because you can fire up a 5 x 5 with just 400 watts at the wall and pull a pound and a half to two pounds out of there off 4 plants on 8 week veg! I run 2 x 320 in my 5 x 5(s) 400watts total and that's...

    best light for 2x4 ?

    For me old 320(s) 3K running at 240atw still kill everything else I have tried in a 2x4, 2 plants, 5g tall pots, single top 5th node (nothing else done to them), 7 week veg, always pulls 16 to 18 zips!

    HEAT STRESS?LIGHT STRESS?NUTE LOCK?

    Really bad watering habits! And there is nothing wrong with most time release soils, if you get your watering in check! And I say that, because most times when people have trouble with time release soil burning their plants it's because they are simply watering them way to often! Good watering...

    Should i bother with lst?

    If it was me I would flatten them out, tie down the top (2) nodes (the first 2 nodes from the top), so you let the lower nods catch up to the nodes you will tie down, then when they get all even, then flip'em! You will get a nice even canopy if you do it that way!!!

    Unsure of problem - leaf

    Watering to often!!! She can't shed all that water you keep giving her, look at the tips they are wet and heavy, then the outer leaf edges are bellowing downward, she can't transpiration all that excess water!!!

    burnt tips, who cares, but to much nitrogen makes for a shitty harvest!
