I don't know where you live but you can get a 1000w HPS here (Canada) starting at $269 or, $199 for a 400 ... that may be too much for you also, or no good depending on where you live but, just thought you might like to know in case it helps. hydroponic supplies and equipment for hydroponic...

There's one important thing I neglected to mention; I guess I assumed people would already know and maybe they do ... anyway, the soak and dry method as I described it should probably not be used on young seedlings (1 - 2 weeks approx) if you're a beginner. I do it, but I have a ton of...

I 'think' they'll only live for about 24 hours after the soil dries out totally but I'm not positive ... just don't leave them dry. Let them dry out before watering, but don't leave them that way. A few hours doesn't matter; I've seen my own plants go 12 with no signs of wilting at all, so I...

snipsnip - yeah, you screwed up big time. The plant needs those leaves to live and thrive. Some people believe in cutting off the bottom leaves when the plant gets older, but what you did ... big time screw up all right. I never cut off leaves unless they're dying, which for me, is extremely...

I think you should judge which method to use by the lights you have. If you don't have the best lighting, you may want to use 24/0 because it will get you to the bloom stage quicker. If you have great lighting, then, take your pick - honestly, it doesn't really matter - it's personal choice.

It definitely makes a difference all right. Try keeping one plant moist all the time and with another, use the dry and soak method and see what happens. The one you let dry out will be much healthier and have a higher yield in the end. Just remember that the idea is not to leave them dry...

Doesn't make much difference between 18/6 and 24/0 - choose whichever suits you. I've been doing this for 20 years and have used both depending on what I want to accomplish. The advantage of 24/0 is that you get to bloom quicker - that's it. As for 18/6 the argument is that the 6 hour sleep...

Congrats on pulling it together when you don't really have the resources to do so. When the time comes that you can get better lights your plants will be much more compact with probably 3 x's the yield, but hey - in your current situation you've done amazing! I've been there, I know where...

Man, does it ever sound good to hear someone say that. You are indeed an outstanding person - no question. Thank you.

As a life-long Canadian citizen, unfortunately, I have to agree with you. It is sad. It's pathetic. It's a freakin' outrage is what it is. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that something like this could happen in Canada. The Canadian people, however, are not to blame. Canada has had...

Michelle, I have been following this outlandish case almost from the start. I was outraged when I heard that Mark's deal had been nixed by our backwards-thinking, U.S. influenced Conservative government. I have written the justice minister twice about this and signed the 'block extradition'...

'Useless' may have been too strong a word, because really, you can bloom with almost anything, but you can't expect to have a great yield without great light. Maintaining healthy plants can also be difficult. Poor light is poor light, period. A friend of mine blooms with T5 fluoros and he...

Thanks WWW

My guess is that $54 amount is probably pretty close. I use 2 x 400 watts (MH + HPS) and it costs me about $40 a month - actually that includes a small and medium sized fans.

Here's the pics. I would have preferred to wait another week (at most) before blooming but I threw in some Haze 'extras' this time so it's getting pretty crowded in there. Once the males are removed I expect it to work out just about right.

Good point. Acid is measured in micrograms and the guys putting it on the tabs aren't exactly scientists. All it takes is for them to get too much on a tab, pill etc. and you'll be in for exactly what happened to me. It's a risk. I have to admit, when I was young no one could have told me...

I generally bloom when the plants get about 8 inches tall. Sometimes sooner, rarely later. This, as I mentioned, is because I use the SOG approach. I find it is easier to maintain healthy plants keeping them smaller, among other things. I actually just started bloom today. I'll grab another...

You seem to be more worried about WHAT you're using instead of HOW you're using them. I'll tell you what I think ... If your grow area is 30 sq feet that's too big for a 400 watt. A 400w will cover a 4x4 area max. (Some people even say 3x3.) Trying to cover too big an area for the lighting...

When someone with a family history of mental illness who is questioning his own thought process asks if he should take acid, it has nothing to do with trying to prevent him from experiencing his own life, it's about trying to help him avoid a potential disaster, of which, in this case, he has a...

He asked our opinion. I gave it.
