    Make sure you soak the rockwool cubes before using them or it will kill your seeds, not that I ever did that or anything.

    opening up a hydro store

    If you do go ahead with it I wouldn't have any illegal items at the store or at your residence. I've read many stories of cops getting warrants just because it is a hydro store. They also search your residence to be sure. I'd stay on the straight and narrow. Mention Hydro to anyone and the first...

    veggie /clones

    I don't know the lumens or watts but a flourescent tube or two will be just fine, just enough to so they can stay alive just like with a mother plant. You aren't trying for maximum growth so you just need enough to keep them alive. If you don't have that many a CFL or two preferably around 42...

    Some good info about switching to flower

    No fight here just an exchange of info. Did they get ruined because they were already in flower when the power went out ? I was just trying to clarify if you thought he meant adding extra hours of darkness after the flowering cycle began. Usually before flower I just turn the lights out the day...

    Watering from the bottom

    Here is some info for what you need for the wick method, I've never had any luck with the rope drawing enough water for the plant, hope you do better. The Wick System The principle underlying this type of passive system is that a length of 3/8- to 5/8-inch thick braided nylon rope, used as a...

    Some good info about switching to flower

    "As for the 24-40 hours of darkness for flowering, no thanks" What do you mean ? It is just a one time thing before you turn the lights on 12/12. 18/6 --> 36 hours of darkness --> 12/12 I don't see a problem with it, if it gives quicker response to flowering, sounds good to me. I've never...

    400w MH high bay multitap / what about HPS conversion bulb

    If it is real cheap make sure you have the right electric to run it. Some of the run on 3 phase 480 and they go cheap because they don't work with residential electric. It is also better to get an HPS light because you can add a switch that takes the HPS ignitor out of the circuit and you can...

    The Good Ol' "When Should I Flower?" Question

    I don't think the plant really cares or even knows, as long as you have at least 18/6 lighting it will be fine. If you think 18/6 is better then go for it, you are probably more worried about it than the plant will ever be. So put it on 18/6 and flower when you get back so you'll have time to...

    The Good Ol' "When Should I Flower?" Question

    I'd just water them real good and worry about flowering when you get back. They'll be fine while you are gone. You can easily get away without watering for a week at a time, usually takes 10 days before they will show signs of lack of water depending on how much they were watered and how much...

    DIY 250w HPS reflector, let's brainstorm

    Go to your local hardware lumber store and go to the ductwork section. They sell galvanized steel in sheets about any size you need. I think 18"x18" and up, also you could just get a piece of 6 or 8 inch tubing and cut it down the sides and it will already be bent in a U shape. Just use your...

    whats the best fully organic soil

    How do the bricks come ? They aren't packaged are they ? They are just a square chunk of dirt aren't they ? I'm trying to decide if I need to take the truck to pick it up. Where I get mine they have piles of it, a dump truck comes in and dumps it for them. I was talking to the owner one day and...

    Force flowering 20 day seedlings

    You can't force a plant to flower, it will only flower when it is mature enough to do so. All you will be doing is causing extra stress on it. It is best to wait until it shows signs of maturity. I realize some people do put it in flowering early but until it's ready there really isn't a reason to.

    a question for advanced growers

    That is why most people believe it is a myth because for awhile people were passing around the 49 degree info which will not work, so they assume the whole thing won't work, but when you do the 48 degree angle it works every time. I had a buddy who got off charges because the police lab couldn't...
