Marley: if those Mylar reflectors are properly aimed you can get buds all the way down to the planting deck. Sebastian in Northern California and I experimented with them a couple of years ago and came up with the same results. Extra lighting usually means extra cords, the cost of extra...

Bleezyboy: so far that hasn't been a problem. The manufacturer's or both of my fixtures, (different brands), recommend a height of 6" to 1' off the tops of my plants but using the back of the hand method I have adjusted them to as little a a couple of inches off the tops of my plants without a...

Marley: if you're going to be an Aerogardener, don't start messing with it. It's a compact, complete, self contained table top growing system designed to grow culinary herbs and veggies but you can grow weed in it but if you know what you're doing. 1. You're limited to growing: one, two or...

Bluejunta: please tell us about your 'smart pots." I got turned on to Eco Pots, and I'm happy with those, but always on the look out for a better mouse trap. HSA

Bleezyboy: Let me start out by admitting that I'm a T-5 fan. I grow meds only for my self in a 2' by 4' tent and I use T-5's from seed sprouting all the way to harvest. Just make sure that you buy a big enough fixture to completely cover your grow, and that's very important. T-5's burn cool...

Brettsog: How prepared were you for your first grow? Some people don't learn from the past and tend to repeat their mistakes. I wish there was an easier way, but from some of what you said I might suggest the following: 1. For dirt, read: SeeMoreBud’s book, “MARIJUANA BUDS FOR LESS-...

Marley: I'm not familiar with that strain. If we're talking about a small strain then you should be fine. I grew two unknowns I picked out of a joint in 1984 and kept going to now. One is a Sativa and the other is a little Indica. In my A/G's I keep the Sativa to a height of 22 inches but in my...

Marly: the side lighting will cost you more to run. One of the advantages of the A/G is that it's economical to operate. Have you considered some Mylar covered 'aimed' reflectors? Three will usually do the job; one behind your A/G, and one on each side. One guy I know puts up four but he admits...

Deftoned: anyone's first grow is a potential disaster waiting to happen. I wish there was an easier way, but from what you ask, I think you might be new enough to this for me to suggest the following: 1. Read: SeeMoreBud’s book, “MARIJUANA BUDS FOR LESS- GROW 8 OZ. OF BUDS FOR LESS...

Yukon: some of those ozone generators are dangerous around us oxygen breathing people. Have you thought about a fan and a carbon filter? I invested in a Can Fan and an Elf Charcoal Filter and it keeps the smell of my six plants down to zero. You just need one big enough to turn over the air in...

Vindicated: here's a simple formula I was given at school: at least 5,000+K's green to blue to grow and veg with a red 2,700K to flower. Some growers I know veg in 6,000K and 6,500K but it seems to be more a matter of choice. The 2,700K seems to be pretty firm on flowering. I hope that helps. HSA

Backwoods: here's my two cents worth: That 2700K lamp would be great for flowering but you'd need a lamp in the range of 5,000 to 6,500K's for vegging. Aerogarden recommends you change their proprietary bulbs every six months and the makers of my two different brands of T-5 fixtures both say to...

Willin: I found flowering in an A/G to be a challenge because you're limited to what you can do. They're great to start seeds with but even difficult to veg with unless you keep it down to two small plants from really small strains. 1. Have you changed your nutes? You need less N and more P and...

Smokeajoe: That's adequately covered in the following resources: I wish there was an easier way, but from what you ask, I think you might be new to this so I’d suggest the following: 1. Read: SeeMoreBud’s book, “MARIJUANA BUDS FOR LESS- GROW 8 OZ. OF BUDS FOR LESS THAN...

Sogfarmer: RTFB. That's covered in detail in many of these resources. I wish there was an easier way, but from what you ask, I think you might be new to this so I’d suggest the following: 1. Read: SeeMoreBud’s book, “MARIJUANA BUDS FOR LESS- GROW 8 OZ. OF BUDS FOR LESS THAN...

Jixan: you've got the right light color/frequency for flowering but a dozen lights makes for a very busy hookup. Have you considered the simplicity of a single 4' long 4 tube T-5 fixture? You have the same light coming off of a single cord. I like neat and simple and it's working for my three...

Dbdick: does the chloramine evaporate if the water is stored for say 24 to 48 hours? It's not even summer yet and our water is already starting to smell like it came out of a swimming pool before filtration. HSA

Missnu: Hydro is serious business. You have to know what you're doing or all you'll get out of it is frustration. In hydro when you see a problem it already happened and now you're playing catch up, often it's already too late. I wish there was an easier way, but from what you ask, I think...

Gunman: they come in 24" and 4'. Just make sure you get a fixture that will completely cover your grow. The possibilities are only limited to the size of your wallet. HSA

Firsttimehydrogrower: you're making some interesting comments and asking some bizarre questions. I would suggest you RTFB. I wish there was an easier way, but from what you ask, I’d suggest the following: 1. Read: SeeMoreBud’s book, “MARIJUANA BUDS FOR LESS- GROW 8 OZ. OF BUDS...
