    Thanks Mr H......I do use the stadium method. Despite using clones, I still have some grow taller than others so I put the smallest directly under the bulb and progessively taller ones further out....even so the mid most plants often end up in the shade because the taller ones stretch more and...

    Wow.....I'd have never thought of steam...I've been battling those little plant suckers forever it seems.......... I was thinking of testing ABF's thought of CO2ing them to death with massive overdose of gas and the room sealed, but I was worried the plants might drop dead too so I'm...

    Well there you go.....he compared sunlight in a greenhouse to HIDs. And orchids that grow in semi shade under the canopy of the rain forest to mj under full light. I compared a flowering plant in full sun to another flowering plant that uses full sun. An HID has limited penetration multiple...

    another stupid ? but need help

    If you flush to the point the root zone has less nute than the plant does...osmosis will suck nutes from the plant..... As I understand it, N is the first thing flushed away...hence yellow leaves....the blighty looking spots are from things attacking the weakened leaves... Like if you become...

    another stupid ? but need help

    I'm not a soil guy...so I could be way off.....But classic nute burn shows in the tips first and I don't see burnt tips anywhere......you said you've been flushing since flowering began so that's a long time ....4 or 5 weeks........I'd try 1/4 strength feeding and see if it helps keep the rest...

    See, it looks male to me.......so there you have it. Too early to tell...... and they're all correct......you will KNOW before it matters....you have at least a week, maybe even two before any fear of pollen release. I've never seen one hermi that early either, which doesn't mean it can't...

    GIMME the dunce hat can anyone explain to me the 1 gram per watt rule?

    The reason perpetual harvest rocks the #s is that you are going to harvest several times in the 90 day period the calculator was based on......depending on your rotation schedule you could harvest: 1 week rotation=12 crops 2 week rotation=6 crops 3 week rotation=4 crops 4 week rotation=3 crops...

    GIMME the dunce hat can anyone explain to me the 1 gram per watt rule?

    And btw.......the Cervantes .5 g/w per month...is essentially the same except it left out vegging time...... I think you'd be better served figuring out your cost per gram.....ignoring setup costs.......how much do you spend on electricity, medium, nutes, etc.......to how much you...

    GIMME the dunce hat can anyone explain to me the 1 gram per watt rule?

    Actually guys...the gram a watt comes from the old Garden Efficiency calculator on the old OG site... You inputted your lit hours, wattages, times per stage and usable yield and it gave a #........ For most folks it meant 30 days veg 60 days bloom....so if you had a 400 in veg and 2 400s in...

    R/O Water System Needed? I have water test results.

    From what I know of fish tanks...they can measure the carbonate hardness for you at the fish store or you can buy the little kit. I think a tds meter would do just as well........mine is 250ppm from the tap and I've heard others at 300ppm that had no problems.....What I'd want to know is if...

    what size PVC Pipe for a 1000W or 600W HPS Grow Tent?

    The 1000 claims to cover 8x8 with light and 12x12 with suplemental light but it's a crock......even 5x5 is pushing it based on mine....but I don't have the headroom so that has a lot to do with it. I had it over a 6x6 and it wasn't even close so now it's on a rail running over 3x6.....as far...

    What size lamp for 36" x 20" x 62" grow tent?

    A 400 is good for about 3x3 although I get away with them over a 4'4"x 3'6" area with the next light over helping out on the fringes of the longer side...... the venting issue is hard for us to tell you.......if the tent has a large room to draw from and you keep the temps in the room down...

    Need help building hydro setup

    I ask because the tubes are more often used for aero as opposed to f/d.......you'll have to seal all of it to be able to flood it so you'll need rubber caps for the pipes or end caps for the posts......but you'd like to be able to remove them to clean out the inside on occasion.
