    ??? on out of control plants!! ???/

    That looks crazy. Is there a way to lower it down some? Even just lowering the net if possible, but be gentle and do it slowly. The branches will bend, but like I said be careful.

    Molasses - With or without sulfur?

    Thanks for the info everyone. I just wanted to be sure. And yes I am growing in soil this go round. I have heard that it can cause issues in hydro. Was thinking about bat guano the other day. Might have to pick some of that up also. My local hydro store has it in stock all the time. Actually...

    Molasses - With or without sulfur?

    So, I read about using Molasses the last 6 or so weeks of flowering, I'm game. But yesterday I read here to get sulfur free, and today I read this: "blackstrap molasses is the best choice because it contains the greatest concentration of sulfur, iron and micronutrients from the original cane...

    Is 2 GPW possible?

    I have heard of people pulling off a pound with one plant. But that is with ideal conditions. I would think that a lengthy veg time would be needed.

    First Grow Questions

    More bulbs :) For that Many plants, and it depends on the wattage, you will need more. Tap water is fine if you PH balance it first. Also: PH Up/Down Fan or two PH Meter Pots (Various sizes - for later) A place to grow them Carbon Filter - For when flowering starts, and even in Veg they can...

    high temps inline fan help

    I had to hack a house fan and run ducting from outside the room as an intake. Just an option. I cut a 10 gallon bucket in half and cut a hole in the bottom the size of the ducting, sealed it over the the fan and ran it from outside the room. Works like a charm. :) Brought the temps down some 10...

    lighting question????

    HPS for Flowering MH for Veg MH Switch for MH Bulb HPS Switch for HPS Bulb Maybe the switch being wrong does not effect much - Not sure, but it's there for a reason. You'll get better results with an HPS bulb for flowering because of the spectrum differences, but I have read that running a MH...

    grow room set up

    First off, slow down a bit, don't be in such a hurry and try breaking that into some paragraphs so it's easier to read. :) Next read the sticky's at the top of the forums. Most if not all of the information you need to know is there. Some great "free" videos to watch also, was very helpful for...

    lighting question????

    You mean a "SG Lite Ballast"? From the website: Q: Can an HPS ballast be used to power a metal halide bulb? A: This is never recommended, the ballast and bulb type (wattage and HID bulb type) must match. Convertible ballasts, however, can be switched between MH and HPS modes. Never used...

    Trying to stay within the law.. but might need some help with electric bill.

    Thanks everyone. Things are working out well so far. House Refinancing saved me $300 a month which helped allot. Just for clarification all those people don't live in my house, just my wife and I, and my grandmother cause she can no longer live on her own. Still exploring the idea of applying to...

    Thinking about Metal Halide...

    I believe, and I'm sure I'll be corrected 4 4' bulbs is 216 watts, if they are High Output T5s. Edit X 2: 432 Watts :) So you are already using over 400watts total.

    Thinking about Metal Halide...

    You have to weight out the differences. How much wattage is your T5 using? Honestly a 175W is not going to work on a 3x3, I mean you'll get growth, but only in the small area where the light is going to hit. The spread is wide, but the main area will be larger and the outer area will have...

    Omrita Rx3, Salmon Creek (big bud) Seeds?

    Are there any seeds for Omrita Rx3? I know it has other names, but I cannot seem to find seeds. Clone only? I also read that Salmon Creek (Big Bud) has High CBD level, but when I searched I found lab results with very low CBD content. Any seeds confirmed to have high CBD content? Currently...

    Tips Needed, w/1st grow

    As for the gnats, you might be watering too much. A good rule of thumb to follow is to stick your finger into the soil, about an inch, inch and a half, if the soil sticks to your fingers you don't have to water. If it does not, water it. :) As for how much nutes to give, just depends on what...

    Tips Needed, w/1st grow

    Need to reformat that post to make it easier to read. Anyway, have you been spraying your plants? Looks like the leaves got burned. Either nute burn, or burn from water drops being heated up by the lights. Nothing to worry about from what I can see, just watch how you water and only spray when...

    hydro set up for 1 huge plant

    I normally mix my nutes and set the PH to as close a match to the tank as I can in a separate container. The PH will vary slightly from day to day. The drain fitting is very handy, my first try I had to empty by hand, it was a nightmare. The drain allows you to change the water, or empty it all...

    Suspected male plant

    Yes, you don't have to stress about that until flowering. I know my plants went through hell and back also, but they made it and are now flowering. Cannabis is a very resilient plant, it can take some serious abuse and still come out on top. Live and learn, it's the only way.

    A thing to remember

    I grow for medical reasons, not personally so much for me as it is for others. Either way, it happens. If I get a reply like that, I just ignore it and move on. Does it piss me off? Of course, but I don't feel the need to acknowledge it, doing so does no good. Maybe they are having a hard day...
