Total & Complete darkness, huh? Interesting. I might have slight light in there, but I was under the impression that during night it's not completely dark?

So it's day 1 of flowering my 30 day old beauties. One of them is a feminized Blue Cheese, the other - freebie Thai S Skunks. The skunks are growing enormous and I was wondering when do preflowers usually appear? Want to know if they're female or not so I can take clones before they...

Cool! Imagine fitting those into an LED-style enclosement with 10 of these bulbs and growing with them? That would be sweet

Ok, just shut off the lights and put the timer on 12/12 :) Let's see how this goes.

Really? With actual new leaves forming? I was kinda under the impression that it doesn't form new nodes/leaves, just stretches

I am thinking of putting my girls into flowering right now. They are 3 full nodes and recently topped. The 2 new tops are sprouting their first nodes. So how much does the plant actually grow during flower? I will need to take clones before the buds start forming, so I'll need the plants to...

Nice! Can you get pics of them in full size? I want to see how much they stretched

Doing a little experiment on my skunk, which seemed to work on another plant on which I was forced to cut off some bad leaves. That other plant spawned some incredibly fast growing nodes on top of the cut off leaves, so doing the same. I am basically cutting off the main leaf on the main stem...

I did the opposite. Started in DWc and moved to soil. So far so good. I just want my mothers to be in pots.

So my soil is currently a bit mixed with hydroton. I filled the pot with hydroton at the bottom, then soil and then soil mixed with hydroton on the top. The idea is to have more air for the roots. Thoughts? Good/bad? My tomatoes are growing solely in hydroton in pots that have no exit for...

What I'm thinking is that at an early stage you need to develop the root system. Hydro allows you to do so. Once it's developed, transplant into soil. At least that's gonna be my experiment. I am seeing SO MUCH side growth right now - both on the topped and non-topped plants. I honestly haven't...

Just a theory, but stay with me. Cities have a lot of people and cars. Both emit CO2 Country has a lot of plants that eat the CO2 and get us oxygen So in theory, Weed should grow better in the city because when you intake air from the outside, it has more CO2 in it. Long stretch though.

I've been lurking around these boards a lot and honestly I got the impression that while in theory hydro grows more/better/faster, the best looking plants are from soil. I'm also trying to figure out how to use the heat from the ballast to own gain. Perhaps put a metal sheet on it, and place...

Interesting, huh? Transplanted my plants into soil from hydro yesterday. And overnight I have seen each and every one of them give some serious growth to the side shoots. The ones that grow on top of the original leaves on the main cola. So screw it, I'm going to use the hydro system only...

I know they are worthless, but it's still better than nothing I cannot get any good testers where I live, nor can I afford to order an expensive one. So this is what I stick with. I did a test and yes, it does show PH 8 for my tap water and PH6-5 for when I add lemon. Added some lemon...

I got this thing - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=180344394852 Dunno if it accurately measures, nor if I can calibrate it

So it turns out that my PH is almost 8, wow. Either that or the tester is broken as it shows PH around 8 on about everything in my garden. Then again, it all uses the same water source. How can I lower the PH value using household items?

holy crap, 80 plants? that's a lot to manually water, I'd setup a Mr Green-style hydro system for that many plants

Just finished transplanting from DWC to SOIL. I transplanted 3 plants in veg, and 3 more are still in DWC. Reason for that being is that all 3 plants had some strange symptoms, each with different ones. One plant had seriously yellowing and drying leaves that I always trimmed, the other had...

I'm not an experienced grower, but from common logic I think you could give them "just enough" light for life support. So they don't grow. That or LST.
