    How I created my own version of carbon filter.

    If you grow real nice buds in there, at some point it's gonna smell like a perfumed skunk is roaming the neighborhood! lol I made a homemade carbon filter with "carbon"pads. Rolled a screen up 4 '' diameter put and end cap on one end with duct tape. Duct tape 4'' inline fan to other end to...

    Hortilux Eye Worth the Price?

    OK, then my question would be, are IPower ballasts good enough to run a Hortilux Eye to full capacity. Do we have to get a Hortilux ballast to get real "Hortilux" lighting? Anyway, I was doing fine with my old cheap bulb. Can't see how this one could be worst.

    Hortilux Eye Worth the Price?

    Can anyone confirm that the Hortilux Eye is the best super HPS bulb out there. Has anyone witnessed the difference between Hortilux Eye and cheap bulbs like IPower on Amazon?

    Nutrient deficiency or overkill? + Temp Question

    Those plants are shiny green, they are suffering from N toxicity. Are you using Cal Mag? If you are, cal mag is an extra dose of N when you add it to the mix. My advice is lower your feedings by a lot, after the initial flowering stretch, you will have problems if you don't. For my coco I do 2ml...

    would this make a good hps grow light?

    Just hold on to the light while you cut the metal pole with a hacksaw.

    first time grower, started off great,, going downhill, chasing tail?

    Could it be low humidity in combination with high temps? Did you transplant them from a high humidity area to a dry area? Humidity below 40% in veg can be a problem and high temperatures make it worse...Just a guess. Also, your ppm seems low, with GH, I would go up to 1000 ppm in early veg.

    White Widow - Day 76 Flower: Ready or Not????

    You know there is more to it than just taking the first batch of seeds you make...You have to back cross your seeds. All your seeds are going to be different with a great range of phenotypes.

    What is better short or tall plants?

    Make sure you water everyday, I used to water every 48 hours but as the plants drank more when they got bigger, the coco would dry up slightly in between waterings. It would give me salt build ups and pH issues. Water every day and don't top your plants more than 3 or 4 times indoors.(8 to 16...

    White Widow - Day 76 Flower: Ready or Not????

    Everytime I harvest, I find half a dozen to a dozen seeds in the lower buds...I've been saving them since I think they might be feminized. I just started one along with my conles to see what it gives. I read somewhere that if your plant makes seeds from it's own pollen due to stress factors, the...

    MAINLINING OUTDOORS...

    Top over the 3rd node(make sure not to remove the 3rd node branches), remove eveything else under it. That will give you a "Y".(2 tops) You can prune off lower branches to lollipop it as it gets bigger.

    MAINLINING OUTDOORS...

    Then I would say, If it's in your yard go for it, mainline. If it's a hike in the woods, just let nature do it's job.

    how long do you veg and why?

    If you want at least an ounce on your plant, veg until the base of the plant grows past 1/4'' in diameter. Height is irrelevant, the best indicator for root mass is the size of the plant's trunk. That's what I do and I get 2 to 4 ounces per plant.

    What is better short or tall plants?

    You don't want to outgrow your space but when I get a cola that goes too high I just bend it down. Those plants look small, funny they didn't stretch more. When my blueberry plants stretch, it creates multiple new bud sites(Nodes). First picture is first day of 12-12 and last one is harvest day.

    MAINLINING OUTDOORS...

    The advantage here is having a plant with minimum amount of pop corn buds and you start mainlining inside, by mainlining to 16 colas, you can control height better until its time to go outdoors.

    Plant leaf tips yellowing

    Top soil here is your problem, your roots are starving for oxygen...Top soil isn't for growing weed, it isn't airy enough but if I would have used it, I would have put a hole lot more perlite in there. Try to find a good potting mix like Pro-Mix with lots of peat and perlite in it.
