    Can you make up your own grow hours??

    longer days, longer flower period, more light, bigger yields. creating an 18hr day would mean shorter days, shorter flower period, less light, smaller yields. do you want less bud now or more bud later? personally im interested to see how a longer period compares based on yield/time.

    Could having a male plant nearby increase female flowering?

    the female plant flowering is based on photoperiod (length of day) and not pheromones. female plants dont care if a male is nearby, as pollen can travel a mile or more in the air or get carried by animals. having a nearby male plant will only increase your chance of accidental pollination, and...

    Can i Fim 5 days into Flowering????

    personally, i wouldnt top or fim during flower. your girls are still growing for like the first 3 weeks or so of flower, topping/fimming will definately slow growth while it recovers, resulting in a smaller plant. my advice is not to

    room built... now what....

    10x10x8= 800 cubic feet You should exchange the air once every 2 mins for best results. Therefore, you will need a fan rated at at least 400cfm (cubic feet per minute) and a carbon filter rated at or above the fan. Keep in mind the filter will lessen the effectiveness of your fan, so you'll...

    Experienced Vertical Growers

    So I'm moving in August to a bigger place with a walk in closet (instead of this little reach in I've got now). I plan on going vertical :mrgreen: Anyways, few questions to those with vertical experience: I've been considering getting 4x 400w lights, hanging two per chain (it's a rectangular...

    buying lights on the net

    I've been shopping for 400w digital ballasts and bulbs, I've looked everywhere I can think of and HTG's ebay listings had the cheapest. $228.90 after shipping for a 400w digital ballast, cord set, bulb and reflector. It's actually cheaper than getting it all without a reflector from most other...

    Air Handling for 4'x4'x8' 430watt flower room

    Running intake through the dryer? That's a great idea, think I'll use it in my next setup. Though I do have an extra filter and fan, but we'll see what happens. As for the dryer, are those screens pre-made or did you have to cut the screens and fashion the frames on yourself?

    Could an 84 year old man who has never used pot, use it to help and try to cure his p

    Certainly wont cure it, but it can help with treatment side effects. There's a drug they sometimes give to chemo patients to help with the side effects called Marinol. The active ingredient is a synthetic form of THC. Though, I wouldn't recommend eating it for a first timer, it's much more...

    approximate harvest guide for 600w HPS light

    I'll bite. 200g if you're inexperienced. 300g if you know what you're doing, but still learning as you go. 400g if you've already used this system a couple times. 500g+ if you've got it down to a science. Yield depends on too many factors, as I'm sure you're aware. I'm guessing you'll fall in...

    My PH is below 5!! WTF?

    That sounds really weird. I would expect to water to slightly raise the ph, not drop it below 5. What are you measuring it with? Your ph meter may need calibration. What does it say the ph of the water is? As for quick fixes, walmart should have some aquarium ph adjusters, but i personally...

    1 light, 1 plant?

    It'd be awesome, all the light each could use. But I'm a stickler for efficiency, and there'd just be so much wasted light (not to mention electricity). I'm fairly certain you'd get very similar results sticking all 4 under one light. A 1000watter makes a lot of light. 4 of em (imo) should be...

    Planning on entering the Grow game

    didn't want to imply gender over a forum, could offend someone *shrug* anyways, i suppose you could use one i just dont see the point. the more fresh air the better. as for controlling temps, keeping it on would keep it cooler, and as long as your temps arent dipping down below say 60f during...

    going into flowering, looking for tips

    I mostly agree, but those fan leaves are like solar panels for your plant, why deprive it of an energy source? If a leaf is really in the way then tuck it back to allow light through. No reason to get rid of it though (unless it's dead). I lollipop my plants because it's best for my SOG setup...

    Need help cloning

    NEED? No, it's entirely possible to clone without any rooting hormones. Cloning powder is not common out in nature, yet plants are still able to clone themselves. Also, there are plenty of successful cloners out there using aeroponic methods with great success (and no hormones). DOES IT HELP...
