    Jethro's Stealth CFL Closet Build and Grow

    That's a nice setup, and one that's easy to upgrade the lights, etc. However, I think there is one dramatic improvement you could make to make this system a lot better. Install some mechanism to lower and raise the lights. Lumen output greatly diminishes as distance from plant increases. CFL...

    Apartment Growing

    I'm part of this club. As other's, heat and ventilation is a small problem. I use CFLs to cu down on the heat. I changed the lock on the bedroom door, and I leave the closet door cracked to ventilate a bit. With the oscillating fans, it's not too bad. Odor is a bit of a problem, but the...

    Zeke's 23rd day flowering!!!

    Wow, I'm drooling looking at that WW. I would not be surprised at all if you got a pound or more. Nice to hear that you only grow for personals...same here. Vacuum pack your shit into little bags, stick them in the freezer and NEVER pay for buds again!

    Jiffy 7 Pellets???

    I use the Jiffys for my clones and I just rip the screen off as soon as I see any roots coming through and then plant them.

    Make a cfl reflector out of a plastic gutter?

    It could definitely work. Only things I'm thinking of are: Is it wide enough to actually put a bulb in it (fixture in back)? Can the sides be stretched out to actually reflect light down instead of sideways? ( /^\ instead of |^| ) What kind of plastic? PVC? (Will it melt, is what I'm really...

    Fist Time Grower, how do my plants look

    Those were some crappy answers. Your plants need more light. They are very small and stretched out, all because of the light. If you don't have a lot of money, get some CFLs. If you want to go the pro route, get HPS or MH. CFL is compact fluorescent. HPS is High Pressure Sodium, and MH is...

    12'X12' Space Lighting help please

    Hey man whatup! I don't get on AIM a lot... I don't know what else you could do, but 12'x12' is a lot to cover. 144sqft/4=36. I think a 400w hps would be too small to cover 36 square ft. When you go to buy your lights, I'm sure you can get a deal since you are buying 4 of whatever you get...

    My Harvest It Was Great

    Yeah FYI, don't post telling us about your harvest unless you have pics. I'm so close to harvest that I'm having to hold myself back from cutting my babies. I wanted to see a good harvest!

    Another noob in need of help :(

    Firstly, you won't be able to tell which are males and females until a couple weeks into the flowering stage. Since they are so small, I would take a knife or something and cut out around the plants, just a bit to spread them, not so much to cut the roots. Weed is hard to kill and soil is very...

    7 Weeks into Flower

    Oh my...Let me pick up my jaw off of my desk. Wow, those look really nice. What kind of lighting are you using? How many plants you have total? Did you flower them all at the same time? Are those few in the front straight flower from clone? Damn nice grow man!

    Pic of first grow -- 4 weeks in Veg

    They look real good, nice and fat. Are you going to do any LSTing? Now would be the time to start bending and twisting, you won't be sorry you did it. Regardless, keep up the good work!

    BIG NOOB looking for help on growing a plant makin some money

    It's telling everyone that you're 15 and you are growing to have a way to get out of your town. We all were that age and we all had our problems and we all know that when you are 15 growing weed is not going to solve any of your life problems, only contribute to them. We realize that and that...

    Sexing Help

    Yeah I was going to say I can't tell on any of them. How long have you been flowering?

    Will this setup be good to grow about 6 plants?

    I agree with ron. If they aren't clones, they will certainly need longer to be good yielding plants in the flowering. Start with your bar of CFLs or the 250w HPS, they both put out about the same amount of Lumens and would be just fine to veg your babies to a foot or two.

    soil?

    I know everyone around here seems to hate MG, but I love it. I usually mix about half regular MG potting soil with half organic potting mix. Then I put in about 2/5 perlite. I say 2/5 because it's usually a bit under half.
