as all your answers indicate - incandescent is of almost no use to your plant. i do not use hid myself, due to heat issues, as well as light leak. i use ufo leds, and i'm pretty happy with it. cost more than cfl, but something to consider. in the meantime, try to get some more cfl going

no - that should be of no consequence. plants don't hermie that easily. happy grow.

good answer, cammo

same -leave'm for single 'pet' plants you can manicure by pulling off wilting leaves, when they come off easily don't rob your plant of chlorophyll, by removing strong green leaves.

good crimmus here.

in an ebb and flow, that should make little or no difference. i'm sure you'll get different answer from each person you ask. theory being that the exchange of gases happens through the surface - and not through the bubbles - which mostly provides circulation in either system.

As soon as the roots hit the reservoir the'll go in all directions. Nothing you can do about that. Who says that's bad? 6 or 12 just depends on how many plants you intend to grow. Just as much rootball on 6 large plants, as on 12 small - and by the time you're done, all the roots are going to...

I'd ease off on the transplanting. I'm sure every answer you get will be different - so, you have to find your own answer. My approach is to disturb the plant as little as possible, but then again - sometime a good disturbing was what it took, to get going. 2 gallons sound very adequate pr...

morreallyricks - you got your answers. It basically depends on how good you are, at what you do. As with everything else. 1 oz pr plant may be a realistic approach, to begin with. Happy grow!

Wow - seriously 3-4 oz a plant? Would that be in an outdoor size growroom? Indoor I'll be happy with 1 oz.

There is nothing you can do to flush nutrients out of the plant. Give the plant water - and let it take it's time. If you don't have the time - don't worry. Happy grow!

Hi Illegal Smile Thank you for a thread that explained it well! I've tried a couple set-ups, and your information is valuable in understanding the dynamics. I'm messing with my own variety of the set up, and your post is helpful.

Interesting thread jackpot08. Lot of work for such a small space, but interesting concept. One thing you might want to improve on is the pieces that appear to be cardboard and masking-tape. Home Depot/Lowes has wide rolls of aluminum tape, for duct-work. That's what you want - and you can use a...

You don't judge when to harvest by the hairs - pistils, but on the trichomes, which are tiny droplets that form all over the bud. They start out clear, then they turn milky, then amber. Rule of thumb is to harvest when half are amber, the rest milky or clear. From your pictures it appears that...

For a system with a bit more output, one can use a 5 gallon bucket. One alternative would be to use more than one air-lock. I found a large plate that sealed the top, while allowing CO2 to escape, and instead of shaking the bucket, I put a small pump in the reservoir, that I ran for a minute...

I'm having some difficulties with RIU - so I'm going to try this again. Today is day 49 of flowering - 7 weeks to be exact. From what I read, LED takes longer to flower than say HID. That might be the case, but I seem to have good development with my micro-set-up. Every week or two, I flush the...

Today is day 49 of flowering - that's 7 weeks, so I must be getting closer. From threads I have read, I'm getting the impression that flowering under LED takes somewhat longer than HID - something I can live with. Every week or two I flush the plants with plenty of water, something they seem to...

Get a good idea of when the last frost is in your area. Then you can start your plants indoors under CFL a few weeks before that, and put them out a couple weeks after that date - to give your plants a headstart.

OK - I'm starting to understand - maybe. If I got it right, you're looking to plumb together your two tanks?? What I have used for similar applications are 'drain pet-cock for swamp-coolers' You will find them at Home Depot or similar. They come with the necessary gaskets and are simple to...

I have a hard time figuring out what you want to do. Are you going to run your pump at intervals, or all the time. The pump seems awfully powerful for the job. My next thought is to remove the carpet, before further installation. Since the pump is submersible, you may want to consider a...
