    Does anyone use Generators?

    Thats good to know, but I guess what I was getting at was anything over 3k, so lets say a total of 6k watts, the first 3 I'd use normal house elec. and anything after that I would use a generator. I'm just going off of what I heard, that you can use 1 1kwatt light per bedroom of the house, so a...

    Does anyone use Generators?

    Oh yeah I forgot about propane generators! I was thinking about a soundproof room too. Hey Chronik, think you could give me some more info, like how many gens he uses for how much power, and more importantly, what kind of generator does he use, I was thinking along the lines of a Honda, they...

    Does anyone use Generators?

    Was just wondering if any one that was drawing over 3k watts has considered or is using electrical generators to offset electrical costs, and/or conceal electrical consumption?

    Is CO2 enough

    Supposing someone were to grow in a completely sealed room, lets say 6.5ft long, 3.5ft wide and 6.5 ft tall and temp and humidity were at a constant, would the addition of CO2 be enough to offset the lack of intake/ exhaust. The real reason plants need fresh air is they use up all the available...

    How long can you make an organic tea?

    LMFAO@dunecat! Not that Im an expert @ making compost teas, but there is something called concentration gradient, meaning whatever you put in that water (i.e. guano etc.) will eventually equalize between itself and the water, making it the all the same strength. I guess that may only take a few...

    Keep your Mothers in a Jar!

    Yeah in the article it said to wash the plant in alchahol and then rinse it in a bleach solution, I thought this would be pretty harsh too, of course I have no doubt the manufacturer of this will spin it so it looks easy and foolproof , but hey it cant be any harder than getting mushrooms to...

    Keep your Mothers in a Jar!

    Yeah all the jars and stuff look pretty cheap, you just have to find out what the gel is at the bottom and where you can purchase it. I have a magazine that I picked up in a Landscaping shop, which featured this tissue culture kit, and it was called Urban Garden magazine, and it gave a step by...

    Keep your Mothers in a Jar!

    I found this kit called plant tc (tissue culture) allows you to keep mothers in a jar, using only minimal light and nutrients, and has a shelf life of several months, and you have the benefit of using vastly less space and resources committed to controlling that enviroment. I dont know how to...

    Strain specific Photoperiod?

    Ah, and this "uvb" light, how can you use that in an artificial enviroment, or should I say what types of lights are there that replicate this? You say bad results with 18/6? what do you use? As for jointsmith, I see no flaws in your logic, although no where on the earth is the photoperiod...

    Strain specific Photoperiod?

    Anyone except someone who has first hand experience with this that is... And as far as it being an "opinion", where I read this was not somebodies post or thread, it was a publication on marijuana botany, but as I do not always believe in everything i see/read, I was just asking for some...

    Strain specific Photoperiod?

    I was doing some reading and heard that photoperiod and types of light used were dependent on the origin of the plant, for example indica varieties should be vegged @ 18/6 and flowered @ 12/12, ( as in the photoperiod of northern latitudes) and equitorial strains ( columbian and thai sativas )...

    Idiots Guide To Coco Coir

    Awesome posts, I just started using coco, mixed it with expanded clay pellets, an inch at the bottom, a few handfuls mixed in the middle and an inch at the top. I also threw in a few handfuls of foxfarm soil for s&g's. One question though, what is the re-usability of coco, and if so what kind of...

    How do you select a male?

    A question ive never seen asked, is when breeding/propagating ganja, what qualities would you look for in a male, that would show up in a female? I already know what qualities to look for in a female, but all those seem to be wholly different than that of which I would look for in a male. Does...

    Can they see us?

    Yar, well besides this site, my mouth is shut, and while not being able to "see" what they are "seeing", that kind of leaves things open to interpretation, which most people assume they can see right down in your house. I myself was just looking for some clarification, perhaps even some one who...

    Can they see us?

    I know helicopters can spot whole houses devoted to grow operations, but can they spot a single HID bulb, and what if that hood and bulb is air cooled and recirculated through out the house? Further more if a given grow op is in the center of the house or even in the basement, could they peer...

    first time grow.. white widow strain

    it looks like those t8's should be put closer to the plants, lets say run them along side the plants midway up the plants, one on either side, and the other cfl's should be put closer, 1-4 inches is ideal, maybe get something reflective underneath the plants...

    150 watt HPS questions

    150's work fine, you might need multiple ones though, I'd shoot for a air cooled 400w, that way you can get the lamp alot closer, as much as 8 inches I think!
