    First Timer Grow

    It is about 8L (2 gal), and ya no work other than change the nutrients every week or so.. but I have heard that once the plants get big you have to check the water more. also people say they do the best once the roots hit the water level, then you just need an air pump to keep the oxygen up. if...

    1st Grow - 25 Plants - HELP PLEASE! Lighting Question – Optimal Yield

    I have an UltraLux 6-Lamp T5, ya have to keep it close to the canopy and the penetration is not as good as Mh or Hps but for the vegging it works great. Hps tend to make the plant tall and leggy if used for veg. the cost is about the same, you can get ballasts the will work for both... I think...

    1st Grow - 25 Plants - HELP PLEASE! Lighting Question – Optimal Yield

    I dont know how large you want to grow them before you flower but.. I think one 1000w will do an area about four feet square, that should be lots of room for your plants Myself I would use one 1000w Mh and switch or add a hps for flowering, the hps has more reds in it.. helps the plant grow...

    Bubbleponics are a bit different kinda like hydro and aero, without the circulation. once the roots hit the water you only need an air pump to keep the oxygen levels up, close to deep water culture. I chose aeroponics because from what I have read the plants love the misters, and you dont need...

    First Timer Grow

    knowing when they need is hard to say, when they get to much the leaves will look a bit burned. I would do what the instructions on the nutrients you have say, treat them like tomato plants. when I was using soil I used to go by the weight of the pot if it was light I'd water if heavy give it a...

    First Timer Grow

    The thing about soil is that it can store nutrients and to much water displaces the air in the soil, with aeroponics the water is mixed with nutrients and the air is pumped in like an aquarium.. so you can water "feed" non stop if you want with out the fear of over feeding as long as the...

    First Timer Grow

    I prefer clones you dont have to find and take out all the males that way and I think you can get a more consistent grow when they all come from the same mom. A few years back I had some that were mostly sativa in the same room as the mostly indica, the sativa was so much taller that it made me...

    feedback wanted please be honest

    I always use the "flora micro, grow, bloom" three part nutrients. They are for hydroponics really but do a great job in soil as well. When I did use soil I used "sunshine mix #2" my plants loved it.. now have switched to aeroponic way less mess and work, still use the flora series though. have...

    First Timer Grow

    I think everyone should try it, you dont have to smoke it.. the clippings make good butter for baking. but I know some who it just doesnt agree with one or two tokes you will know. I like your open mind about it anyway. Are you going to clone them, or start from seed next time?

    Well almost the same.. I do smoke it. not much of a drinker, and it makes you think outside the box.

    First Timer Grow

    Ya the filter will work fine for the intake, ducting is not required.. it is good to be able to get fresh air in, and make sure the exhaust air goes out. ducting with a couple of bends does an ok job of diffusing the light. but if you can get fresh air in no problem. Its funny our situation is...

    First Timer Grow

    Growing can be simple.. if you want, and at the same time it can get very complex depending on how far into the science (or art) you want to get. but you can get good smoke from soil and water with some miracle grow. Like people say it is just a weed. You dont need a green thumb, the only plant...

    First Timer Grow

    ya good results for sure.. I may try in the future, the vegging works great but I think that the canopy penetration with Hps adds bulk. For a few plants its probably not to bad they will work... led's are making progress as well but hid's are the next best thing to the sun so far

    I am using T5's (UltraLux® 6-Lamp) for the first time as well.. the difference in heat compared to Mh and Hps is huge. I am a few weeks in and they seem happy, the growth is compact and going well. but I have a 600 Hps for flowering.. I may use both.
