    Grow tent finally arrived

    Get ready for 3 months of waiting -:) Seriously, the hardest part of growing for someone starting up is having to wait for things to happen. Some of the tents are really nice, completely light tight with good ventilation support. My flowering room (Chamber) is about the same size 2x4x7', so a...

    Light Cycle Thoughts

    I use 24/0 when I start up and then switch to 18/6 once I have enough plants. For me, there is no question my plants grow faster under 24/0. The reason I switch to 18/6 is cost and slowing down the growth a little - my clones are in veg for 50-65 days before they move to flowering. The only...

    Autoflowering Questions

    Thanks for the response. I didn't think about the size, obviously they remain smallish, that's definitely an advantage for limited grows. 60 days is fast for sure, these might work well on a startup grow to get some bud faster. Does the light make any difference in the bud size or is it driven...

    Autoflowering Questions

    The last time I bought seeds there were no autoflowering options, now the banks are littered with them. Having skimmed through various information about these strains I'm still not clear on the advantage of them? Especially given that they really can't be cloned, at least not in terms of a...

    1000watt hps and 600watt LED pics. Two different grows

    That's great, glad your doing it. What LED are you using?

    400W closet grow, cool tube, carbon filter.. need help!

    Those are similar dimensions to my flowering chamber (2.5' x 4' x 7' foot high). I grow 8 under 2x430 HPS lights and get monster buds, you should be able to grow 4 no problem. The cool tube is good but the inline fan and filter may not be enough to evacuate the heat, depends on how you configure...

    600watt for veg 1000watt for flower

    That's right, the 600 watt HPS is the most efficient of all HPS lights - regardless of wattage. I'd suggest, if you can fit, adding another 600 watt. Regardless, look for increased heat - lots of it!

    400w Club-Show Off Your 400w Pride And Joy

    Yes, they run in any 400 watt HPS ballast - you can double check the Philips site. Used other bulbs but these are the $hit, buds doubled in size and inter nodal stretching was minimized during flower! Strongly recommend these lights for flowering although they could probably be used for veg...

    600W HPS Cooling Question

    6" will make a big difference - much higher volume of air will be moved (with a 6" blower obviously). I use a 465cfm for two 430s (Son Agro's), my temps run about 7 degrees above ambient - for me that's anywhere from 55-75 depending on the month. An alternative might be to vent the light from...

    400w Club-Show Off Your 400w Pride And Joy

    Here are a couple buds using the Philips Son Agro 430 watt HPS bulbs, these bulbs are amazing! These are Black Widow at about 49 days.

    Grow Room Build

    Nice job on the indoor shed!

    It's getting hot in here.

    Those fans are maybe moving half the volume they indicate. Replace with a single blower from Active Air (or some other supplier), I use a 180cfm in my veg chamber which is 2x4x4 feet. You may consider reducing the light - 1600 watts in the size space is a little overkill. Switching to an air...

    Using only water

    Damn CFLpc - that had to be a copy and paste - right? Wow! If the plants are 4 weeks into flowering then you should be ok, the plant will actually eat itself from the bottom up. DO NOT cut anything off the plant - let it eat itself. In 4 or 5 you'll have a nicely flushed plant with smaller buds...

    Black Widow - A Favorite

    Cannabis is legal in 13 states folks! This was a sweet plant, the bud pics really don't do it justice. The smell and taste were outstanding, strongly recommend growing this gal out. I had a sweet tooth plant that had a cola literally 2x the size of this one, just about 3oz.

    Black Widow - A Favorite

    Here are some pics of a recent grow out of Black Widow, the seeds were from Mr Nice back in 2005.. This is 49 days, about 11 days before harvest. I cloned her a dozen times. She was a nice indica that had a great average yield - little over 86 gms per plant. The main cola on this one was over...

    "No Mercy Special" Strain

    This is a strain I picked up while in Amsterdam from a local grower that I know. The strain is called No Mercy Special which is a cross of: Mexican Haze x Santa Maria x Victorie. That's exactly how its written on the seeds - note in the baggie of seeds. Any experience with this strain or any of...

    Custom fixture

    I built these several years ago using 2 foot shops lights from home depot ($2.99). I removed the ballasts and reflectors then connected 5, 2 bulb units to the ceiling. I am using a few different types of bulbs including standard cool and warm. I use this 2'x2'x2' chamber for propagation - total...

    Oasis Self Watering System Review

    I wanted to put up a post about the Oasis self watering system. I bought one of these 4 years ago to handle watering while I was away. It worked fantastic as I began to travel more and more. I bought another for my veg room a year later. Both have worked perfectly for over 4 years doing 3-4...

    Grow tent?

    No, I wouldn't. This isn't setup for handling ventilation very well if at all! Check out BGHydro , a few dollars more but way better. There are even better ones so poke around and compare. If these were available 12 years ago when I built my room I would have probably used these instead. The...
