    Flowering w/o dark cycle?

    I was running a 18/6 light cycle, my timer went belly up so I just left the lights on. This was a couple weeks ago and now it looks like I've got some white hair pre-flowers. This is my mother plant so obviously I don't want it to flower. Is it possible that somehow the plant has begun to...

    How do you grow in an apartment? (w/o getting busted)

    That's not helpful... What is it that you get together and how do you set it up? When you harvest to you scrub a room and vent to the outdoors? Do you do anything special about fan noise? I would like to know some particulars.

    How do you grow in an apartment? (w/o getting busted)

    I've been growing in houses for the last 2+ years, but now I'm thinking of moving into an apartment. Is it safe? I have a tent with 1200W I run a 6" cooling fan and a 4" to carbon filter. This doesn't sound out of place in a house but apartments are often very poorly insulated. Also when I...

    T5 Lighting Questions

    I don't have any direct experience but I think four 4' bulbs would be plenty of light (almost 20000 lumens) until the plants are ready to flower, or at least until the plants are 5"-6" inches tall and are spreading out. I recently got a 6 bulb 4 foot T5 fixture. My plan is to veg with three...

    Changing to new strains.

    Why BlueBerry? I looked it up on Dutch Passion. It looks good but why do you like it? With Island Sweet Skunk I had to top to restrict the overall height and I got like seven main colas. I thought I read that indica plants don't respond to topping well, I'll have to do some more research. I...

    Changing to new strains.

    Question two: Has anyone topped indicas and had an improved yield?

    Changing to new strains.

    Can a brother get a little help? I'll start with one question. Will all indicas grow nicely together?

    Changing to new strains.

    I've been growing ISS for the last year plus. I've got a jones to try out some indicas, I'm thinking white russian, aurora indica and NLxShiva. Would these three plants grow well together? ISS has a bit of sativa in it and I've topped heavily and gotten good yields. Do people top indicas in...

    Bought clones got a male, WTF?

    I had the male under a 14 hour light cycle also the females but they were in a mondi dome. This was for a week, the 14 hours was a workaround but I guess the male sexed in that light cycle. Then I moved the females to separate pots and all plants to a 24 hour light room. The female's are ISS...

    Bought clones got a male, WTF?

    Papi Chingon No everything was in veg (24h light), all plants recent cuttings. The male was in there for three days with female cuttings. fdd2blk Thanks. Does this happen from time to time or am I unlucky?

    Bought clones got a male, WTF?

    So I didn't look to sex the plants and the male has released pollen in my veg room. Are all my veg plants now going to seed out? Should I risk it or just start a new veg crop? Why would a dispensary sell a male plant? I'm a bit pissed but these are the first clones I've ever bought and I don't...

    40 inch height restriction

    flamdrags420 I'd like to see your custom tanks. I haven't looked into drip system. What are the common problems associated with a drip system? I'm going to continue to top like mad and start the flowering earlier while using the ebb and flow. This will be test of sorts, if the yield stays...

    Flower under veg lighting?

    Wouldn't you like to pull an extra crop per year (8wk cycle) from your HPS? In a small space (1 m^3) I can get 25-30k lumens from a 4' six bulb T5 unit. If I wanted to do it right I would change the light spectrum, but that becomes one more hassle. I'll probably try it out but it won't be for a...

    Flower under veg lighting?

    No nothing wrong, but I may have been unclear. I currently have a flower room and I am upgrading my veg room. If I can flower plants in my veg room (by adjusting light cycle) and shorten time in the flower room I will buy a larger light setup for the veg room. Growing a 10 week plant in 8 weeks...

    Flower under veg lighting?

    Would it be possible to flower under veg lighting (T5 6400K) for the first two weeks and then move to HPS lighting? Would this shorten the time needed in the HPS lit room? Would it decrease yield or cause any other problems? Thanks.

    Quick light question

    What kind of T5 setup do you run? Do the plants look different (thickness, stretch) from when you used MH? I'm looking at vegging three plants in a 2'x4'x6' space. I'll be vegging for a couple months and I want those girls thick. Would a 4 bulb 4' T5 do the trick? Thanks and sorry for jumping in...

    How much light for clones?

    Depends on the size of the cloning area I would think. I clone in a mondi dome (20"x10"). I have used a 2' 23W T5 laid on the top of the dome. I now use 2 of the same light a couple inches above the dome and it seems to work fine. Hope this helps.

    Three lighting options for veg area/room.

    Yeah I top and I would like to use the MH for the reasons you mention but I would hate to get it setup and find out that I need an exhaust system.

    Three lighting options for veg area/room.

    Thanks for the response, I have another space I use for flowering. I have been using four 23w cfl's in this space and it works alright but I would like to have thicker plants before they are moved to the flower room. If anyone has experience vegging with T5 and MH of the wattages I mentioned I...

    Three lighting options for veg area/room.

    1) 2' T5's four lights total, 92 total watts. I already have two (hydrofarm single bulb with reflector) of these so this would be the cheapest option. 2) 4' T5 setup (hydrofarm unit or something similar), about 200 watts. 3) A 250MH or 400MH. The cost difference between these isn't very...
