    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    Here is captainmorgan's thread: https://www.rollitup.org/led-other-lighting/656542-flowering-cree-bulbs.html Also, hopefully you've read at least the first part of this thread and realize that the 135 watt light that you are referring to is nowhere near 135 watts. With no technicality...

    OK who is using the Kessils

    I'm using four Kessil H350 magentas on a spinner. I started with one 350 and kept adding as the plants kept growing and I kept smiling. I've also built a couple of small diy fixtures which I add to the spinner in the other two places as I change from veg to bloom. I've got a blue fixture, deep...

    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    That looks like a fairly small cab with very little height so you'll need a light that you can get very close without burning. Take a look at captainmorgan's thread using cree LED bulbs. Also CFL isn't a bad choice either as you can surround the plant with light very closely...and neither of...

    plz tell me its ready to harvest,,,

    I judge more by trichs but looking at the bud, I'd think a little longer than 2 -3 days. I've still got one plant to go myself and it's looking like it will be at least a week into Nov before it's ready to harvest...still too many clear trichs...

    Why do manufacturers state a Bloom and a Veg area

    It requires much less light per square foot to veg a plant vs getting one to flower. Light loses power with distance - square of the distance so the loss increases rapidly. So the higher your light is hung in order to cover more space then less power reaches the plant and reflected light as you...

    Ditching my HID, but is this LED good for this tent?

    That Blackstar fixture is not even close to being big enough for the space. It might grow one small plant. For a 3 x 2 space get one area 51. Sell the blackstar and the HID and put a few more dollars with it and you can get one light that will do very well in your space from veg to flower and...

    I live in the rainiest part of America, which strains will thrive?

    I've never grown in a humid environment but the only mold that I've had to deal with was related to caterpillars. Their shit just loves to start a good case of botrytis. Anyway, now that I'm more proactive and shooting BT Safer once/week, I'm not getting caterpillars or the accompanying mold. I...

    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    Each Area51 light can cover a 2 x 3 area although a little smaller at 2 x 2 may be a little better. You would want at least two of these fixtures for a 4 x 4 space. These are excellent lights and should provide good service for a long time. Hans - bonsaihero.com - also makes a good panel...and...

    8 weeks Flowering I'm getting budworms??

    Typically one harvests in the morning. I don't think that it makes a large difference but others may differ. Just FYI, next year think about getting some BT safer spray and do a once/week spray once you are about 3 - 4 weeks into flowering. Caterpillars are ususally only interested in flowers...

    New Vermicomposter

    People use different beddings. I use coco coir, a little perlite (aeration), some newspaper, some cardboard, and leaves from my hedge. I'm switching to rice hulls for aeration but just started that not too long ago. Some folks just buy bags of organic compost for bedding/food. I haven't really...

    Its getting close to chop time!!!!! Sativa,outdoor grow. 2nd pic another strain

    Agreed. Unless you HAVE to take it now for some reason, I'd let her fill out; you'll end up getting much more for the time and effort invested.

    Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

    Potassium sorbate is used as a preservative - particularly against mold and yeast. It can be an irritant to eyes and the respiratory system. I can't answer how bad it is in the concentration in your aloe, and one application (which you will probably end up washing off with other foliar sprays as...

    Hyroot, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can find a place that you feel safe.

    temps hitting 90

    I would think that the plants would be OK for a few days. I don't know anything about your grow space, etc but if the space is fairly small and enclosed you might try dry ice. You could cool the space and get some CO2 in there at the same time....or if you are in a dry climate a fan blowing on a...

    To jar or to bag ?

    You can use paper bags for the initial week or so dry but not long term storage. Mason jars for curing.

    What kind of light should I use?

    If heat is an issue then LED, plasma or maybe CMH. One does need to be a little careful when buying the new technologies. They can be much better but there are lots of con artist manufacturers out there. If you think that you might want LED, plasma or maybe CMH then I'd spend some time on the...

    Outdoor Supplemental Lighting

    You can supplement light outside like you are talking about but you could also grow them inside until it's late enough to put them outside and not flower. I have supplemented outside lighting with a T5 before but then the next years just opted to veg inside and move them out when the day was...

    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    I don't know of anything in that price range that will do a really good job for you at 4 X 4. Area51 makes some very nice lights which are on sale now and you can pick up $535 but they cover at best 2 x 3 foot area and I would probably tend to go a little less than that. Be very careful about...
