    help i cant explain the question in this little space

    It won't just turn into a hermie like magic. It is already whatever sex it is going to be, opening the door would only possibly delay flowering slightly. Just try not to do it again and you should be fine.

    watering

    As a rule of thumb with soil, if you push your finger into it and it comes out moist, thats fine. If its wet, its not. If in doubt, its always best to lay off the water until your sure that its drying out and then start watering again accordingly. Hope this helps.

    Wat Do You Think?

    Yeah I'm a big fan of CFLs but lots of people don't like them. They would'nt need as much of an expensive ventilation system as you can use 12v PC fans and PVC ducting which cuts costs dramatically. You can still handle the 125W bulbs after constant 24hr operation they're that cool. You should...

    Need ventilation ideas???

    You really need a proper ventilation system or your plants will not grow properly and perhaps die. Could you not try and run an intake and an exit through your AC vent? Its far from ideal but it would help. If you were to do this you would need to try and get the ends of your exhaust and intake...

    Wat Do You Think?

    Foil is not a good reflector, ask anyone, honest. Flat white is much better. The height depends on what you want to do. If your gonna try and turn plants over constantly then I'd split it and have the veg box above your flowering box. As a guide just measure how much height is gonna be taken...

    Stealth Cabinet Q's.........

    Personally I'd remove the foam and put the case on its end so that it is 30in tall not 14in. If I have understood your dimensions correctly? For virtually silent ventilation perfect for boxes of this size check out: SilenX | Page 1 | Sort By: Product Title A-Z - FrozenCPU.com   Also try...

    Very Good Question/Need Smart Answer

    Personally mate I'd buy one of these: AP281 Hepa with Ioniser It will reduce odours in your grow room as well as purifying the air. You could also just build a carbon filter that just cleans the air in your grow room rather than just the exiting fumes. Also try using these instead of the...

    cabinet specifications okay?

    Your well geared up mate, I'd just go for it. Personally I'd say use 2 smaller bulbs for better light distribution but I'm a CFL fan anyways.... If your worried about odours check this out: AP281 Hepa with Ioniser...

    super stealth grow lights

    I have used CFLs before and I think they are great. I would suggest that you use these, they are the best that I have found: enviro-gro-lites Online Shop The 125w will be more than enough for the space that you have. Your problem would be balancing the colour temp as you would only fit 1...

    New growcab

    I like the look of your grow room mate, looks class. Can I be so bold as to suggest a further improvement? I came across this the other day: AP281 Hepa with Ioniser It is basically a carbon filter, HEPA filter and ionizer all in 1. This would give total air treatment to your box and also...

    milk as a nutrient ?

    Nice idea if there was any science behind it. Maybe there is? I think its a red herring though mate. Why waste, time and plants by feeding them milk when there are proven nutrient formulas out there that work fine. If you do use it though and it works, let us all know. Top marks for thinking...

    "breaking" your stems?

    I like what you've done smokertoker, well done mate. I really don't see what the problem is. If your growing your plant indoors and you bust it up even if it takes 2 weeks to heal, if you get more bud it may be worth the wait. At the end of the day its only a more brutal form of other tecniques...

    Effect of Magnetic Field on Germination and Plant Growth

    I am stoned and have had a good muse through this thread and it is all very interesting. However in the NASA experiments it does say: 'Don't bother trying this experiment at home with ordinary refrigerator magnets. Only special "high-gradient" magnetic fields will do. Hasenstein's experiment...

    12/12 from seedlings

    I'm guessing that they'll grow fine, they just won't be as big as normal. I reckon you're best off growing them a few internodes high first of all. And don't forget that your gonna need to keep an eye out for any nutrient deficiencys that might occur because of such a short veg growth. Hope this...

    check this sh*t out

    So anyway coming back to the original thread. What would be the advantage to splitting 1 plant into 2, rather than just growing 2 plants? I'm not asking whether or not it can be done because it is 1 smart weed and I reckon there's every chance, just whether or not there's any point. I...

    Computer Fans, and How To Power Them

    yeah 12v plug adapters from things like phone chargers will do fine, just cut the adapter for the phone off the end and you'll be left with 2 wires, just make sure you plug them in the right way. Check this for some good, cheap fans: 12 Volt Fans | Page 1 | Sort By: Product Title A-Z -...

    1st grow outdoors need help hiding my babies

    Hey, hope it goes well. All you need is balls of steel and an iron nerve to grow in your own garden, under your mums nose! lol My suggestions would be to start off with good seeds, good quality soil mixed with perlite/ vermiculate and with added bat shit for fertilizer. Start your seeds in...

    Home made Co2

    You rightly say that people are trying to boost yield thunderlips, however it is important to remember that the 'yield' that we are trying to achieve is not leaf mass, but bud mass. 'Water demand varies inversely with CO2 concentration in soil. The more CO2 in the soil, the less water will be...

    i've crossed over to cfl

    Has no one ever heard of high output CFLs?? I have used these in the past for grow boxes with upto 3 plants and they worked perfectly, producing around 3 Oz of bud per plant, each time. I supplemented the high outputs with 2 x 20W, 1500 lumen bulbs of a different colour temp to give a good...

    Cfl Sockets

    why not just buy a high - output CFL? enviro-gro-lites Online Shop I have used the 125W 6400K bulb in a grow box supplemented by 2x 20W high lumen CFLs bought from the supermarket giving out 1500 lumens each of 2700K. This was more than adequate to grow the 1 grapefruit x Northern lights...
