Thanks for quick answers -- I'll go for the long night! Yeah, I think it would be impossible to do in summer if you don't have a really well-insulated box with a cold-air intake (mine is tapped directly into an a/c duct). I'm still working on the insulation aspect, but when I turn on my a/c...

I've decided that when I start 12/12 I also want to switch it so that the lights are on at night and off during the day, since my grow box is in the attic, so no need to exacerbate the likely heat problems I'll be encountering this summer. However, right now I'm on an 18/6 schedule where lights...

Agreed, your leaves look more like the sativa I was expecting with my Super Silver (which is supposed to be 90% sativa), but mine look pure indica compared to yours: With that to compare, yours look very sativa, right??

You will need to hook it up to an ac/dc adapter that provides at least the amps your fan draws (usually in the 90-300mA range for PC fans, I think), at the voltage the fan wants (usually 12v, sometimes 9v or even 6v). The easiest way to do that is to buy a universal adapter from Radio Shack...

Awww man, I was really excited about that one! Better luck next time...

I'm going to guess your hygrometer is the issue, since that seems really low to me too. I'm using this one (which seems to be no longer available on Amazon), and I'm very happy with it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OT33HQ/ It logs the high and low, which I copy to a spreadsheet and...

I'm starting the initial planning for a SOG once my current ScrOG finishes in a few months, and I think I might try something like that and do a side-by-side comparison between small pots of soil and a small self-contained bubbler like yours. I've been very hesitant to shift away from soil, but...

Subbed! I've really wanted to grow an African sativa sometime, so I'll be interested to see how this one turns out. That's not a feminized seed, right, so you're just crossing your fingers and hoping it's a lady? EDIT: Shit, I just realized you didn't say it was open to comments. Sorry, I...

The more important part is that the fan is completely (not just somewhat) blowing the air out near the top of the box. Fans blowing air in won't do much good if there isn't a good exhaust fan. Even a small old PC fan, if properly mounted, will do a lot to bring down those temps. Of course...

So I stayed home from work today (touch o' the flu) and managed to get the lovely lady transplanted into her final grow container: I'm up to 6 bulbs now: Here's the breakdown of bulb types and lumen ratings: 1 x 42w 6500k (2800 lumens) 1 x 42w 2700k (2800 lumens) 1 x 32w 2700k (2200...

Is this 6" fan an exhaust fan (i.e., blowing the hot air out through a hole or duct), or just an internal fan that's blowing the hot air around in circles inside? If it's the latter, you really need to consider setting up the fan as an exhaust. Both types of fans are important, but exhaust is...

Looks like some white hairs/flowers to me! Really looking healthier lately, I'm excited to follow this grow.

You should post that in the forum for diagnosing sick plants, definitely looks like something is up. If I were to guess I'd say pH-driven nute lockout combined with slight overfert and perhaps slight overwatering?

Funny you say that, this is a Dinafem Super Silver seedling, which is at least theoretically 90% sativa and only 10% indica. I was also thinking how her leaves looked mighty wide and thick for a sativa, but perhaps they'll thin out more once she grows up a little more.

Definitely looking nice, I'm subbed!

Doesn't look too bad to me. That soil looks like it has a lot of pine bark in it (acidic), and I don't see any perlite or sand to improve drainage... so maybe you're overwatering a little? You should be letting the whole pot dry out (not just the surface) between waterings. But the plant...

Looks like an interesting grow, I'm subbed! Btw, just to compare size, here's my girl at 21 days from seed: Of course she had 24/0 lights for a week and has been 18/6 since then, so more growth up front (as rw mentioned above), and she's in an organic potting soil with some organic nutes...

I've got a couple quick updates, decided not to hold off on them. First, here's the plant this evening: The daily growth rate is getting impressive, and I decided it was time to take a couple clones from the lowest branches, which are scrawnier than the others. So I mixed perlite with my...

Wow, was that with soil? I would never have guessed that a plant would survive through flowering in a 16 (or maybe even 12?) oz container without having serious problems. Though I imagine he was using an indica with a short flowering period, so it wouldn't be as ridiculous as trying to do that...

I tried to reply to your PM, but it still shows I have no messages in my Sent box. Let me know if you didn't get my reply and I'll try again!
