    i got a question for anyone who has done a 12/12 from seed

    it mostly depends on the strain. but even with 12/12/ from seed the plants wont start flowering as soon as you switch to 12/12 they usually take 3-4 weeks from germination to be mature enough to flower so even with an 8-9 week strain your lookin at approx 3 months. it doesnt work the same as...

    Stealth vs. Light

    the more risk you take the greater the possible reward, the less risk the more minimal the reward, just like everything else in life! I agree with the guy above that said do both, do up enough low risk spots so that you'll have enough to hold you over, and then do a couple high risk spots and...

    20 plant outdoor op few questions

    as far as the bugs, id just use some strong chemical insecticide if you have real problems. when thay are this young everything wants a piece of em and i'd do everything possible to get as many as you can to survive. once the pull through and start growin up you should be able to ditch the...

    20 plant outdoor op few questions

    if slugs are are a problem then let them grow indoors til about 12" or so, for whatever reason they like plants in the seedling stage alot more than when they are somewhat mature. they will still f@#k with em when there bigger but not nearly as much. either way put a coil/circle of copper...

    You guys choose for me please!!!!!

    yes you are going to need some sort of air-cooling for the light, unless it's in a basement or place that stays around 50-60 degrees F. I dont know the specs of your tent, but if you have 4 inch vent/duct holes go with a 4" cool tube and 4" inline fan (works for me). If you have 6" vent/duct...

    New Grow Tent Set-up *Opinions*

    only suggestion I got is lower your thermometer/hygrometer to wherever the tops of the plants are. I just hang mine off the reflector with some twine. Goodluck

    Helicopters and detection

    look into auto-flower strains, they stay short and finish extra early way before choppers are out! start a veggie garden and throw a couple auto flower plants in with the veggie's. either way you dont need to be soo paranoid about growing 1 plant, especially thinking that helicoptors will...

    Plantskydd - the outdoor growers best friend?

    Just read through the link, it says its main active ingredient is bloodmeal and its mixed with vegetable oil to make it stick and last longer. I imagine you could make your own very easily, or try some other tricks soap, moth balls, urine, human hair etc... The only way to garuntee that...

    170 cfm okay for Air/Cooled 400 wtt HPS?

    you should be fine, a 400w in a 5x5 ft closet isn't gonna create crazy rediculous amount of heat. as long as the place you live in doesn't get too much over 70 you shouldn't have too hard a time keeping it reasonably cool with the equipment you have, especially since your venting to your attic...

    170 cfm okay for Air/Cooled 400 wtt HPS?

    it should be fine as long as your ambient temps aren't too high. keep your house around 70 degrees and your good, if your house gets up to 75-80 + degrees then you have a problem. general rule of thumb is, your light (even air-cooled) will add about 10 degrees in the grow room onto the temp of...

    Is this spot any good

    Only one way to find out! get a compass, make a inclinometer, and a chart of the suns path, then go there and check it out! Spots you find on google earth can look amazing ....on google earth! then when you get there it's a swamp or blocked out by a treeline, or on a north sloping hill, or...

    open/close intkes during flower?

    what size light is in there? is the light in an air-cooled hood? does the tent have 3 - 5 inch intake exhaust ports? I'll tell ya right off the bat that your main problem is that the tent that you have is designed to be used for keeping mother plants and/or cuttings in, not flowering...

    4x4 grow tent with 600w hps, How should I ventilate?

    I agree with sick, above. the only real benefit of pullin vs pushing in this set-up is that you can mount your fan outside the tent cutting down on heat inside the tent. Filter---ducting---Hood----ducting to outside tent----- Fan the fan is somewhere outside the tent pulling air through the...

    open/close intkes during flower?

    just saw the pic of the tent you have???? get some ducting and get creative it's not too hard an obstacle to figure out. play around with the ducting for an hour or so and you should be able to come up with somethin. main thing is, without any ducting in your hands to work with your just gonna...

    open/close intkes during flower?

    those flaps will more than likely allow too much light to get in during dark period, unless it is in a room that is toyally dark. if not then, yes you should be closing them when the lights go off or your plants can hermie! but you still need to exchange the air in the room when the lights are...
