Sorry I've been so inconsistent. Anyway, here are some updates. Firstly my clones died. Some of them prob would have survived but I trashed them anyways. I had an apartment inspection that was likely triggered by a tip from a neighbor and the following day a contractor with the power company was...

Do you know if moving the container carefully will disrupt the cloning process? I'm asking because I have to move it a little to remove the lid and spray the cuttings. Also the perlite doesn't feel as soft as I thought it should but the humidity is extremely high and there is a lot of moisture...

Thanks man! No worries, I'm completely dedicated to not moving them before 14-16 days has passed so as to not prolong the process. One question though, I am supposed to open the dome every day or so to recycle the air right? And after about a week remove it for a few hours at a time a day until...

The other seeds were bagseed. One was good mid but the other was a purple strain. I still have around a quarter ounce of it left. Maybe 8-10 grams. Good stuff but I'm hoping this stuff will be even better. Looks like there will definitely be more quantity at least. I take it you know about...

Sorry I haven't been updating more regularly, I've been pretty busy with a lot of side projects. Since my last post, both of the old plants have been harvested yielding close to an ounce of high quality bud. The best looking bud has trichs all over the dried remnants of leaves and bud and looks...

Here is another image. I forgot to mention that in the grow cabinet where my blue cheese is vegging, I added 2 27w 1600 lumen cfls to the 3 remaining 14w 800 lumen cfls. This small space is getting around 5800 lumens, which should be more than adequate for vegetative growth.

4 of 5 of my blue cheese fems have sprouted. I ended up killing 3 seeds during this whole process. The 3 that died germinated, but appeared to 'damp off' and die before sprouting. It appears that the best way to avoid this is to water with around 500ml to 1l of water when planting the germinated...

Well my second grow this year is finishing nicely. Temps remain 79-80 degrees at the bottom of the plants with a %40 humidity. Last watering I didn't add nutes because there is some slight burn present on some of the leaves. Don't want to overdo it. It's barely visible though so it looks like...

BTW I'd just like to say that the differences between flowering under an hps and tubes is phenomenal. The buds on these latest plants are getting 3,4, and even 5x larger than they were on previous tube grow. The leaves are covered in trichs and smaller leaves that are right next to the buds (and...

Hey all! I'm finishing up my 2nd grow since 12/08. I covered my first grow in a journal but I grew those plans under floro tubes and the yield was less than an ounce and a half dried. Not so great. My current grow was vegged under tubes and flowered under them for the first 4 weeks. They were...

Amen brother. It's never worth the risk of an electrical fire. You can bet that if my breakers started tripping I would ditch the hps for floro tubes or cfls because getting caught for me means that I will die in prison. There is no 'later' for me as far as I am aware. My immune system is...

BTW is it normal for the hps bulb to flicker every now and then? It started doing this today a few minutes ago. Was barely noticeable so I was waiting for it to happen again and it didn't so I chalked it up to an overactive imagination. Then it did it again. It only flickers for a fraction of a...

It was def a user error. What happened was I didn't know how to work the mechanical timer yet and so I had accidentally programmed it to turn on in the am and go off 15 minutes later. There are black levers around the edges and each one is 15 minutes and you're supposed to push down ALL of the...

Meh, I'm not even sure if this is what happened. My 'High yield' heavy duty mechanical timer was set to come on at 10:15am but there is no power getting thru when it is activated. It says on the instructions to 'press black segments down for required on time' and I have followed those directions...

Hey guys! My hps arrived yesterday and I hadn't had any problems with it until this morning. Everything was fine until I went to go use my microwave. When I came back into thew room right next to my grow room where I spend the majority of my time, I saw that the HPS and my oscillating fan where...

I feel you but I gotta say, I'm really happy with the equipment so far even if it did take a couple days extra because there was no express shipping option. Had a bit of trouble figuring out the mechanical timer though but I eventually figured it out totally by accident. Going to test that...

Pic 1 & pic 2 are of the overall hps setup. The light is perhaps a little less than 1ft above the tallest plant, which is actually pretty short compared to how tall my plants will be from now on by the time they're in 3 weeks flowering. I had kept them short because 1) They're growing in 3 liter...

Well atm I am finishing a bagseed grow. One of them is good mid and the other is a purple strain that was being sold as purple haze. The purple strain is pretty crystally already consiudering that it's 3 weeks into flowering and it's been under floro tubes. There WAS 3 females but sadly this...

Yeah, I mean he is right. In all likelihood he won't ever be targeted but I still say it's better safe than sorry. On another note, my 400w hps got here. Looks like a nice piece of equipment, no screws or anything missing. The ballast is quiet compared to what I expected and HOLY SHIT this...

FDA has nothing to do with prosecutions under the federal analogue act. FDA also has no say in how a drug is scheduled. For more information on how that works, see here: http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/abuse/1-csa.htm I have seen it many times over the years. Too many people in our culture think...
