Just water again whenever the plant needs it. Let it dry out untill you see a very slight droop in the lower leaves, then water as normal.

Yes I've grown with cfl's but HPS is an easy option for me. As far as heat goes, if you set up properly with a cool tube the temps will stay within a degree or so of the ambient room temperature. I grow indoors in a room without AC in Texas where it's still hot outside and I never have...

IF you are near a Lowes, they have them. A buddy of mine got four way sockets somewhere.

Paradise Opium does better in a light mixture, and a cross I did of Female Seeds Grapefruit & White Widow. By sensitive I mean that they don't thrive well after sprouting. They usually are pale and grow slowly if at all. Some die.

For veg use 5000k or 6500K CFLs. For flower use a lower temp like the 2700K. Most HPS are 2700k.

I agree. Also, even with bright CFLs the penetration won't go beyond a few inches, so you may get decent bud at the very top, but they'll be small and less dense just a few inches down. With a 250w HPS you will get an 8 to 10 inch depth meaning your yeild will improve by a factor of 2 or 3...

Don't know exactly what your setup is, but the Fantech FR100 is a very quiet 100 cfm in-line centrifugal 4" duct type. It kicks butt and is made to run 24/7 on 18 watts so it won't increase your electric bill any more than a cordless phone would. I bought mine on the reccommendation of someone...

If you use aluminum foil make sure is is completely even and wrinkle free. It can reflect unevenly and create hot spots. I use white poster board. If you use a light meter and check the strength of reflection, you will find that white poster board reflects more light than aluminum foil and...

Best not to flower with CFLs. As good as they are for vegging, they are still a good bit less efficient than HPS. You cannot get the same light penatration with CFLs, thus you cannot get the same flower density. 250w CFL does not equal 250w HPS.

Clone from a clone from a clone - no problem - no differences. This is how breeders keep parental strains going for year after year producing exactly the same seeds every time. I once read an interview with Shantibabba (AKA Scott Blakey of Mr Nice Seed Co.) saying he has a collection of...

Yes! What you describe is exactly waht happens. pH Adjust from the beginning to avoid the problem

I think the question was how important the pH of the water was to growing. You can germinate in tap water just fine, and you can grow in it just fine for while, but not if it's in the 7+ range. Lemon juice is not stable for more than a few hours... Earth Juice Natural Down is great stuff and...

My White Rusian did okay in FFOF but it's home made from Serious AK47 f2's & DP White Widow. Other strains, most notably Blueberry just die in it. I now mix FFOF 50/50 with spagnum peat (AKA Miracle Grow Seed Starter) for starting Blueberry and other "sensitive strains". After they get a good...

My usual long answer: pH is probably the number one cause of problems to the newer grower but they often don't know it. After using most tap water for six or seven weeks the soil will lock in a pH that is roughly the same as the water. If you've added lime to the soil or otherwise...

I clone from flowering plants, but only when they first start to show sex. If you do it that way they will revert to veg quickly and you should have a pretty good survival rate. Cloning when you have actual buds formed is harder, takes a long time, and the clone will die very easily in the...

Ordered yesterday, got an email that they had shipped today. Can't complain about that. The rest is out of their hands. I like their selection better than Attitude, where they seem to be focusing on feminized seeds and only offer the femmed versions from most breeders. Seed Boutique pricing...

Thanks for the link Faux - now I'm even more excited. I've been hyped on Blueberry since I first grew out Dutch Passion BB last year. The DP Blueberry looked very similar to the Vanilluna shots, but not varigated. Krinkle, krinkle, krinkle - I was hoping to get away from that but I guess it...

Depends on what you want. I usually grow nine at a time in 7 inch square pots because I like variety. For better size and yield per plant grow just a three or four.

I've never noticed my WW (Dutch Passion) to be a big smeller. Long as it smells good on your fingers after you touch it you are golden.

Never grown or smoked any of them but I just bought a pack of each from Seed Boutique. Set me back a bit but they are all the originals from Sensi and DJ Dhort. Can't wait to try some of that Vanilluna!
