    Cut hood to vent heat on reflector?

    you could, but i would not. In my opinion the amount of heat that you dissipate in a non-sealed hood using the method you are describing will not be worth the loss of reflected light. what i do with my open hood, 400W MH is have a small fan blowing across the mogul and bulb during the hours that...

    PH Question

    hehe, gardening under the influence is fun. as long as you are using plant specific PH chems and not spa/pool PH chems (I actually ran into a dude doing this at my local grow shop) you are good to go.

    Pot size question.....

    That question depends on a couple of things. Three gallon is great if you are in tents. it makes great use of space with adequate room for roots. if you are in an actual room you may consider going to 5 gallons. but, you have to take into consideration the price of growing medium and style of...

    bubblelicious turning pink

    i need info on how to vent please

    the basic way to do it is have a carbon filter mounted at the mouth of your sealed light hood inside your tent. you then have the hood connected to an inline fan via Mylar tubing. the fan dumps the hot, filtered air out of your tent via another length of Mylar tube. you can get trickier if that...

    How may 3000k bulbs to use?

    If you are using only the lights in that fixture i would change 4 of them, maybe 5 depending on how "blue" it looked with the 4 going. you want the light to be very red/ orange, but still have just enough blue to keep the light spectrum balanced. I would also be using the reverse ratio during...

    Switching Light from 12/12 to 18/6 for LST.

    Well, I have never tried it. It sounds fairly labor intensive/per plant from what i understand. But, from the pictures of your plant though, it doesn't look like much would have to be done. With the amount of foliage on this little guy it is already getting a large amount of light penetration...

    Is it bad to cure using plastic containers?

    The risk you run with plastic is that if that they smell, and can imart their smells on your medicine. if plastics have had anything in them, even food grade plastics, they will absorb the scent. new plastic has a chemical odor. I think that a well washed, unused, food-grade plastic container...

    Switching Light from 12/12 to 18/6 for LST.

    I think that specific plant will not be a strong yeilder because it is not a big plant. if it is in its second week of flower at that size i would be expecting the world from it. don't be discouraged. quantity does not equal quality. i would keep the plant in its current light state and not...

    Buckets instead of pots

    my first grow i used 40 lbs (5 gallon) cat litter buckets that had been cleaned out with a mild bleach solution. i drilled about 8 3/8" holes in the bottom and laid about 1" of gravel (cleaned in the mild bleach solution) in the bottom. Worked great! Tons of room for roots; great water retention...

    closet grow temperature problems

    Oldreefer is correct; I assumed that you are using vented hoods. if that is not the case, you should be drawing in fresh and exhausting out from your tent.

    Can I use fem seeds for SOG in 1-2 gal pots instead of clones?

    You will have no problem with the fem seed method other than not knowing your strains very well. The up-side to growing the same few strains continuously from clones is that you learn the subtleties that make the plant really flourish. Growing new strains all the time will leave you unfamiliar...
