    Need alil help please!

    I have read that FFOF is loaded up hot with nutrients right out of the bag, and you can go entire veg cycle and even flower with no nutes at all, so I'm sure you don't need or even want to add bone or blood meal. Try not to get stuck on soil if you're wanting to use it cause you think it's the...

    Grow tent setup...yea another noob needs help...hah

    I wouldn't drop to a 400. 600w is the perfect size for that size tent and 600's are the most efficient of all at turning watts to lumens. Going to 400 you will be using 33% less watts but getting ~45% less lumens (50,000 for a 400 versus 90,000 for a 600). If you really think temps are going to...

    Grow tent setup...yea another noob needs help...hah

    The CFM rating on the filter is the max amount of air you should expect to flow through it, as I take it. Meaning if you have a 442cfm fan, you want to go with a 450cfm or better rated filter.

    A REAL commitment to change the 25-mile rule

    Speaking of ppm's, I recently read that Tucson's tap water is around 450ppm and Phoenix's is 600+ on average... Is that true? Is RO the only way to go in AZ? I think we have about as much luck getting the 25 mile rule repealed as we did getting the additional qualifying conditions added to the...

    Need help deciding between a carbon filter: CAN vs PHRESH?!

    I've had the tall boy from htg for about 6 years. It may have had a different name back then but thats exactly what it looks like. Worked great on my 12cf stealth cab with 80cfm panasonic whisper ceiling bath fan pushing through it, and I'm about to start using it on a 4x4x7 tent with 172cfm...

    Digital Ballast "Flickers" On 100% Setting, But Not 75%

    is this ballast a sealed type or does it have an exhaust fan on it? make sure the fan is running if it has one, and is the ballast very hot to the touch? are you sure the outlet it's plugged into has a good ground?

    Grow tent setup...yea another noob needs help...hah

    From what I've read, the rule of thumb for ventilation range from 1 air change per 3-5 minutes to once a minute under low to normal temps, or 2-3 air changes per minute under high temps. You have about 80 sq ft so a 172cfm 4" vortex would do about 2 changes a minute. The 6" 442cfm is going to be...

    trees in the trees...south florida

    they look like they're stretching a lot and not getting much direct sunlight. looks like you have a lot of "suckers", or branches/leads that will never produce very much and are just sucking energy away from the plant. You may want to consider pruning the smaller "suckers" and only leaving the...

    Flushing question?????????????

    FFoF may have enough nutes in it that you don't need to be using any yet, and the dolomite should be taking care of cal and mag, but may not be enough. You should ge a bottle of calmag+ if you have access to a hydro store, that's better than epsom and it may very well be a mag deficiency. May...

    First "Name Brand" seeds - Initial Impressions

    None are crushed but if you click the first pic in post #6 you can see the 2 blue widows are split at the seams, and you can even see the white seedling inside the bottom one. They were free though and extra, EXTRA freebies so I'm not going to sweat it. That's good to hear. I'm going to...

    Electrical question re: surge protectors

    Surge protector into surge protector will not hurt anything, it will only help. The number of joules suppressed are additive for every suppressor inline. It is not totally redundant, the more in line the better as far as surge suppression goes. Your only concern is the AMPERAGE the CFL's draw...

    HELP with seeded Tahoe OG's.....:(

    Not even worth trying to look through them for a killer pheno IMO. They'll just be more herms. I made the mistake one time of growing 4 plants from a few seeds I got from very mild hermy in the previous bagseed grow, instead of just getting more reg seed from my huge bagseed collection...

    First "Name Brand" seeds - Initial Impressions

    I will give all of them a shot except for the DNA Blue Widows. I'm not even going to bother opening the pack. I can see the little seedling in each of the seeds through the splits so they're definitely gonners. I've germed plenty of bagseeds before, these are just my first seedbank seeds. I...

    First "Name Brand" seeds - Initial Impressions

    Here's what the split DNA Blue Widows look like. Haven't even opened the package and I can tell they're garbage. And the Mr. Nice G13 Widows. Keepers on the top, Mids in the middle, and 4 duds on the bottom row. After looking closer, I can see the tiger stripes are just part of a skin...

    Flushing question?????????????

    Rule of thumb, a flush is generally 2-3 times container volume from all I've ever read. Never heard it's 2-3 times how much you usually water with??? But why do you need to flush? Just cause you watered with epsom? That doesn't make sense either, and how do you KNOW you had a mag def? Your...

    DP Strawberry Cough HARVEST

    Hey now, I read in another thread where you said a 220v ballast would cost 1/2 as much to run as a 110v!! I wasn't going to say anything buuuuttttt, you're billed by kilowatt hours, not amp hours, so you'd only save 2-3% at best, not 1/2 pffffft bwaha, what! :P J/K, everybody makes mistakes.

    Grow tent setup...yea another noob needs help...hah

    I think your fan is way oversized, and speed controllers suck. They make the fan louder cause the fan motor makes this annoying hum/drone. I would suggest you get a 4" vortex inline and some 4">6" reducers and run it full blast. That's what I have, but I also ahve lower ambient temps. If you do...

    First "Name Brand" seeds - Initial Impressions

    Thanks for your opinions. This is my first seed order as I've just made it to a med state and got my card, so I am/was kinda excited to finally be getting some AAA super beans and then let down by their appearance. These are from the 'tude. The GHS and Mr. Nice seeds are in original breeders...

    First "Name Brand" seeds - Initial Impressions

    Got my first legit name brand seeds, however, I am questioning the quality of the seeds... here's what I got; 5 pack of Chemdog (GHS) fems... 1 seed is a tiger striped keeper. The other 4 are just a solid grey/brown and questionable IMO. 15 pack of G13-Widow (Mr. Nice) regs.... I got 24...
