    Which nutrient formula is stronger in strength?

    Get an E/C meter.All those directions on the back of the bottle are close figures and are not 100%.You can still tell how much nutes your plant is using by watching your ppm's.If the water is the same and nutes same strength your going to be ball park close.If your asking wether to go with the...

    Revegitate? Help!

    Well if you are running out of room i would keep it budding.The plant can grow to 2-3 times the size it is now.The plant will start to fill back in a little but wont be the same as a good veging with no crowding.The ideal thing would be take it off 12/12 and put it on 24/0 for a couple of weeks...

    Big Space problems for varity of plants growing

    Sorry, didnt mean to confuse.your bloom will work its just the shultz bloom nitrogen is the same as your grow formula. In bud you want to cut the nitrogen down (not totaly out),the plant doesnt need so much Nitrogen otherwise you may have a fertilizer taste to your buds.The plant is focusing on...

    Big Space problems for varity of plants growing

    Ok, first off the strains you got sound good,but what are the mostly indica or mostly sativa.More indica will have big fat leaves, be more bushy,and keep a nice short profile but you need the room side to side.So in your room you would only be able to grow 2 plants in a 2x2 space. If there...

    i need help!!

    Without being able to see what you have grown and see the enviroment in which it was grown its hard to say.Even with a good strain, if the enviroment isnt good for healthy plant growth (i.e. crowding,ambient temps too high,root temps too high,humidity too low or high) your still not going to...

    well from what i can see your off to a better start this time around.You said your soil was nitrogen rich,What kind of soil did you use?and what kind of nutes are you using?Is the pot heavy or light when you feed/water? One thing i learned with groing in soil was to let the plant tell you when...

    first time clones

    I get better results growing my seedlings under a hps so far, than any floro system ive seen.And noone ever said it was just for seedlings,but you got to start somewhere,not everyone gets to start with clones, and if you got the light why not use it

    starting seeds under 600 watt hps

    As far as i know its not the hps that is causing the stretch.Its could be one of a few things.If your plants are in veg state then you should be able to put your 400 to almost 1-1.5 feet away with good ventilation to the light.This is one way to slow down stretch. The temp of the nutes and root...

    is this in-line fan too big?

    I have used a ten inch inline fan with 6 inch ducting.The fan worked hard but it did work.I dont suggest cutting the diameter that drastically, but going from a 10 to an 8 wouldnt be bad

    Cool Tube Defect maybe?

    the little piece of sand in the glass is just manufacture defect.It does not take away anything from the integrity of the glass.It will not take away from your lumens passing through the glass.It is perfectly safe

    insulated or un-insulated venting?

    well it depends how long of a vent tube your talking.If its only 2 feet froom outside to light then another couple of feet back out, dont bother. The little bit of radiant heat coming off the tube itself is not enough to worry about. But if you have 20 feet of vent with two or three lights in a...
