Hi, this guy is kind enough to offer advice on electrical issues, here's a link to his post https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/74051-electrical-ques-if-i-can.html

Thanks. I guess it would depend on the total amperage of your cfls. There's an electrician on this site prepared to answer the tough ones like that. Here's a link to his post. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/74051-electrical-ques-if-i-can.html

I have made a discovery. It is that these cheap timers cack themselves because a 600 watt ballast spikes at 15 amps and these things are rated only to 10 amps. I've got 2 fucked timers, ten bucks less and two extra trips to the hardware store, two weeks of really messed up light cycles and (at...

Thanks for the responses. I was having a problem with the plug in timer not turning off when it was supposed to. Turns out they're only rated at 10 amps and the ballast of a 600 watt spikes at 15 amps causing the circuit to fry in them. Apparently it's so common amongst dope growers to not know...

I have had a couple of plants that I let bud indoors using natural light and they were exposed to the light from the socket in the ceiling each night and there was no hermaphroditism detected in that plant. It did grow incredibly slowly though and when it got under the hps in a 12/12 cycle it...

I am guessing just any type of household light globe with a translucent green pain would suffice, or is there a specific type of green light bulb that's made for the job, like the red darkroom lights?

I am in the 12-12 stage at the moment. If I need to do any work on my set up it's usually during the day which is the 12 hours of dark period for the plants. Apparently, if there's a light leak into the area during the dark period it can interfere with your plants bud growth, slowing it down or...

I think if someone here was an entrepreneur and wanted to make millions they could use your line, 'pure plant energy in a bottle', and slap that on the label and flog it off through the hydro shops as a new supplement!

i've heard that seeded bud is less potent than sensamilla.

Just out of interest since my 'hermies' are no longer an issue since all of them are now uprooted. I found an answer by Ed Rosenthal where he says that if there is just one branch that is male or hermaphrodite, you can cut it off and the rest of the predominantly female plant will stay female...

Someone told me that if you have a predominantly female plant that puts out a few male flowers that you can pick them off and thereby save your plant from becoming seeded and/or from seeding the rest of your crop. Any thoughts on this?

lateral strength training or lateral stress training, I wasn't sure, it seemed to me to always be a far too technical term for just 'tying them down'!

Thanks for the responses. I guess I'll just keep the razor poised on my wrist as usual instead!

Sorry, didn't read your two sentences properly. A ball on a stick indicates possible male plant. If it looks like a little bunch of grapes it's definitely male. You can kill it and cook it because apparently male plants as they are showing their sex can contain as much thc as a mature female, so...

Sorry, not yet. The preflowers are little white squiggly hairs usually two at a time on either side of the very ends of branches.

That's because I'm a wierdo!:mrgreen:

My friend told me a trick to increase the amount of resin that the buds will have on them. He said you get a razor blade and when the buds are still growing you very gently slice a tiny, not very deep cut, into the top of the buds. In his theory this will cause the buds to 'bleed' resin out of...

My friend reckons that when your plants are sexing and a male appears and you get rid of it then another plant will turn into a male because they are 'conscious' of the the fact there are no males in the near vicinity to fertilize them. If they've all sexed female I've also been told that one...

At the very top of the plant there is a small mass of leaves sprouting. Pick it off. After you've done this the lower branches will grow out more instead of it continuing to grow upwards. To tie it down get some garbage bag twist ties and twist them around the main stem toward the top where its...

Lateral strength training is a good method to use I agree. It will inhibit the plant's growth momentarily while it initially adjusts to its changed shape. I once grew a secret crop in an abandoned overgrown vegetable garden where I tied down the main stem and each of the branches, but every...
