    Question on a 2 - 600w HPS system

    There are too many variables in your equation.You want to know best lighting situation,you want to know how much light per plant,you want to know yield per plant.these are all questions only you are going to find out.the gram per watt thing doesnt even apply till you are all grown out and wheigh...

    Should I start from Seeds or grow Mother Plants

    I pull clones on 2 mother plants.I pull 6 clones off each plant leaving 2-4 clones on the mother in case something happens,then all i have to do is grab another clone off mom.I generally wait until my clone sites get at least 2-3 inches before i cut them

    Did I already kill 7 plants?

    I just popped some pineapple express and it took about 5-6 days to get all popped after planting sprouts.One of them went 7 days, and it looks like the strongest one out of the bunch.If i might make a suggestion though,plant sprouts in a smaller container and as they grow transplant to a bigger...

    how many plants per 600 watt? 6? 9? 16?

    lovemug is right about the strain.I grow an indica dominant strain in a 2'x4' box in ebb and flow with a 600w hps and i do 12 at a time.They all seem to grow the same unless one happens to get a poor start which happens because of me.My plants are crowded a little but deffinatly have the sog...

    Bonsai Buds

    For your first time,Man your doing great,However If that plant is 9 weeks old (2 months) and only 7 " tall,I would think that plant should be well over or at least to 12" tall. First lets talk about your soil,I grow ebb and flow but my moms are in soil. you have to add perlite probably a little...

    Flushing for more than 2 weeks??

    I wouldnt call it a myth.A flush is to remove access salt build up from chemical fertilizers, especially when a grower pushes the fertilizers to the limits.In this instance yes you should flush for a couple weeks.If you arent overzelous in your nute feedings then no you really shouldnt have...

    question about transitioning a plant from natural light to artificial

    You could pull some healthy clones off a 5 foot plant and put them under the artificial light.If a plant has had natural sunlight all its life and you switch it to an artificial light,you would cut down the yeild.Like medical grade said you would need alot of light penetration.As far as i know...

    nutrient def. in pre nuted soil??

    I agree with calicko.I use scotts premium garden soil (MC supposedly makes it)with a N/P/K value of 8/5/5.I start with 2/3 soil and 1/3 of perlite when i started my seeds and let them grow till it looked like the seedlings slowed down.I then added my nutes less than 1/4 what the bottles said and...

    Fertilizer and understanding pH, help a newb out

    :weed:Your nutrient ph should be 6.2-6.6,6.5 is perfect.Ph levels at 5.8 are more for hydroponics ie. ebb and flow, DWC.You also need to check the ph of the soil.it should be around 6.5-6.8.If your soil ph is to high or to low your plants wont uptake the neccesary nutrients no matter what you ph...

The convertible and mine look similar but are not the same unit.I...

    venting an old hydrofarm light

    I just broke out an old 400w hps hydrofarm light i had sitting around,after hooking it up my temps are a little high. My room is only 2'x3'x6.5' but this 400 puts temps into the 90's. the hood has intake/exhaust holes-1 on top (the venting holes dont go through past the reflective shield, so it...
