    Thanks for chiming in man.... You are getting 10 hours of light in late October early November in my neck of the woods.. we all know Mj is a photoperiod plant.. possibly the reduced hours are forcing the plant to finish flowering faster. Quite possible.. 3 weeks of photocycle change is enough...

    Yup you got it. Last 3 weeks are when he suggested dropping the light hours. He claimed it will knock a week off harvest time. like I said, I'll check my trichs tonight, and if they area mostly cloudy with a few ambers.. I'll hit it with final flush and chop next week.. if they are mostly...

    Only thing I have my heart set on other than bigger exhaust fans- is c02. Likely need a control unit for it too.... RO water and a flip flop box. Other than that, I haven't really came across too much I NEED. Like I said, I think the heat issue is related to the exhaust fan I have. But if I...

    owwwww - Hearst Castle... swank :) (had to google it - not from Cali - but swank non the less). The only thing I have found with higher temps is your bud is a little more fluffy... but I am playing with the flowering hours and dropping to 10/14 is supposed to make your buds more resinous...

    The thing to remember is that pot will grow under all kinds of conditions... it's a weed. Try and kill it and you won't... lol. You just want to aim for the "optimum" condtions to maximize your yeild. If it's a little hot - you'll still be ok, just not as good as if the plants were grown in...

    I like the pic... it really does say a thousand words. Thank you - BTW... it's really only going to be an apartment ;) I just like to talk the talk.... Something tells me once I get all 4 set ups going there will be 5 tents in the house though:hump: I'll likely do alot more playing once they...

    Has gotten up to 105... usually mid 90's though. Only way to get heat into 70's is to open the tent and vent into the main house. Not really an option to have the house stink to high hell. I used to run my lights through a cool tube and the 6" vortex was enough to cool the room and provide...

    That's a little misleading plark - It's not less wattage.. You are using the same wattage - but since you are growing around the bulb you have more growing square footage and can add more plants. More plants = more bud. More bud = happy cowell. You're 2 main reasons for going vertical are...

    ??

    Nicely said. I only want to second what you said - the fact that the heat is the same, but the effects seem to be that the bulb is cooler because the plants can be closer without having heat be an issue... I assume that is where the confusion comes from - that vertical bulbs are cooler.

    Ya, the one on the bottom left has TONS of bud sites, and they are getting heavy. I have always tied my buds up for support... the one you are talking about in the pic is weird though.. in that pic it looks like it's curling towards the floor, but when you look at it - it hook sideways too like...

    Thanks.. hopefully things keep growing the way they are and I'll be a happy camper. I hope to see at least a few lbs for sure. Lights go back on tonight - I'll take some pics then, but one of the biggest things I like about the vertical set up is that the entire plant is getting exposure to...

    Smelly Leakage From CGE

    Other than a "closed grow environment" I guess I didn't realize it contained ozone generators and scrubbers by definition..my mistake - I did offer advice in the form of "carbon scrubber"..and no ona buckets... apparantly the thread was to start a fight - if you knew the cause and how to fix...

    Sorry mis-read and didn't properly comprehend your question, my bad :).. I get what you're saying now. You're talking about parabolic reflectors, never used one personally..

    Here we are about half way there. I guess for interest sake - I have been running veg nutes for the first 2 weeks, switched to transition to bloom nutes 2 weeks ago and I'll be running bloom nutes for the next 3 weeks, back off to 1/2 strenght nutes until I get about a week away from harvest...
