Oregonmeds is right. Many people have burned down their houses thinking that 50 feet or 1 gauge size wouldn't make that much of a difference. The packaging with my ballast specifically denoted that it should not be more than 2' bulb to ballast. My ballast is the type that is designed to be...

I'm thinking a lot, especially in the winter. Realistically, the guy at the electrical company is not going to call the police because you are paying them more money. If you're stealing the power, then you're toast. Especially in the winter with heaters and christmas lights running, a spike...

Cool. Thanks everyone.

Hey everyone, I'm only three days into flowering and I measured my plants today, as I do every 5 days. In the last five days, on average, they grew 46% in height and -2.3% in width. In the previous five days, they grew 65% and 86%, respectively. Is a it typical for growth to slow when...

Thanks everyone. I'm officially flowering now. That being established, when should i expect for them to start showing sex? I assume I need to be pretty diligent from this day forward to weed out the males.

But would they germinate at 20F? I doubt it.

Hello, I'm currently running my lights 18/6. I am getting ready to begin flowering and I don't know if I should keep the same lights-on time, the same lights-off time, or something in the middle. Do you guys have any thoughts about this or is it even worth worrying about? Thanks

Whether or not a heater and a humidifier are necessary are questions that we could only answer if we knew more about the environment you intend to grow in. Do you not heat your house? If you do, then that plus the heat from your lights will be plenty. Your problem is more likely to be with...

Mine was a steel wardrobe, not a fridge. I really think you can get away with having a lot of venting in the back. Especially if it's behind the coils. When was the last time you randomly looked at the back of someone's fridge?

I grow in a cabinet and it doesn't leak light at all- it cab be done. Designing vents and so fourth that don't leak light is easy compared to trying to get a pair of crappy flimsy doors to seal.

I'm using grow big, 12-7-7 but they haven't hardly had any yet. As soon as they were big enough I gave them a little tiny dose. A couple days later this started and I was concerned that this was nute burn so I haven't fed them any more. You think it may be a deficiency? The temps are fine...

Hello, The title pretty much says it all. This affliction spontaneously struck the two plants that had been my biggest, but fortunately it is only these two plants. They are about two weeks old. You can see the spots in the first picture. They made me think bug, but I haven't been able...

MR70, That sounds pretty great. You have a lot more space that way, too. Everything still seals up around the doors? Why not just use brush on white latex paint? Or Kilz? Kilz is an oil based product but it's white, it's affordable (available in quarts at almost any hardware store), it...

I thought that too. It might have worked, but he removed the compressor.

To run a 15 amp circuit 500 feet, you would need #4 wire, according to this wire size calculator http://www.jhlarson.com/ind_tables/volt/calc_wiresize.htm. The other option is to run the wire at a higher voltage and use a step down transformer the same way the utility company does. Definitely...

It is true, at least in some areas, that FLIR is used in police chases. It is also true that FLIR imagery, whether obtained accidentally (while looking for something else) or intentionally, cannot be used against you unless obtained after obtaining a warrant. There also seems to be a...

Yeah, 2.5 days isn't bad.

You'll be fine, square. Mine almost always take three days, sometimes it takes four, five or even six days. It will happen quicker if you can be at 85-90 degrees, but they will still start to germinate at room temperature too.

I fold my seeds inside a paper towel and put them in a ziploc bag. There are a hundred ways to do it. You just haven't waited long enough.

Spicolli, Yeah, fartlek always gets at least a chuckle. I was in the rockies this time last year. Copper, Colorado.
