yeah i think they call that a bong. You have essentially made a grow-room bong. But think about this. When you smoke weed thru a bong & you exhale.... doesn't it still smell like weed? I realize you don't have pine-sol in your bong water. But what you are talking about will essentially just mix...

Well the problem is that someone could have been smart & when they created the purple cush strain they only spread clones, but never sold seeds. If the person that created the strain only sent out female clones then nobody but him would have a male purple cush, hence nobody could make a purple...

Ok, if the canopy up top is preventing the light from getting to the lower leaves then you should consider not just cutting the fan leaves but also the lower branches that are not reaching up to the canopy where they can get light. If you have small branches coming from the bottom not reaching...

What are the dimensions of the room?

From all i've heard 78-82 is too high. Well not TOO high, but higher than optimum. 70-75 is ideal. of course that would mean running your air conditioner alot. I do my best to keep all cool w/o AC and temps stay 75-80 during light. I really haven't monitored night temps, but I will need to soon...

oh really? i didn't know that. If i get a bug problem I think i may have to look into that. thx for the info!

yeah if you need ducting for the cooling of your light then I would definitely use that insulated stuff on the inside of your room. otherwise the heat you are blowing off of the light can escape back into the room thru the ducting. Not all of it of course but insulated ducting on the exhaust...

I'm really not sure if the rules of the board say anything about this kinda post, but if not they should (IMHO). If you need seeds then pay the cash & order them from amsterdam or canada or whatever. If you can't afford that, ask for or buy a couple clones from someone you might know that grows...

It's typical of sativa strong strains to take a long time to flower. 10 weeks isn't unusual & 12 is possible. But what you are likely to have (timmy) is mostly indica so 6-8 weeks of flowering would be more like it. But whatever ya do don't get itchy & pull it too soon. You'll be screwing...

yeah, you're only 1/2 way there so they will fill up & fatten up plenty the next couple weeks.

Yes, mantis are good. They are considered a beneficial predatory insect. Also, if you ever see a bunch of ladybugs they are also good for your plants as they will eat the harmful pests. I have occasionally while working (I do construction) seen enormous hordes of ladybugs on the siding of some...

It may be typical of the strain. I've heard some strains will show signs of sex even in vegging. But that doesn't mean it going to start budding, so don't worry. If it's under 24hour light then it will continue to veg. won't flower until you go 12/12 just like normal. Nothing to worrry about...

yeah, if your rent includes electricity then you don't need to worry about the power co. so much as you gotta worry about a nosy landlord who's butthole might be puckering up @ the thought of losing $20 a month due to higher power bills.

Given that info + the pic welll I would say now is a good time to flower. I warn you I am not as experienced as many growers here. But I think given your light, now is a good time. Everything looks great so far. & even if you flower now... it wouldn't hurt to add another reddish spectrum cfl @...

Like I said, you can prolly start worrying around 2000 watts.

Also, an added note... if you have time b4 a freeze comes... If you are strapped for cash & that's an issue, but you wanna be prepared for when the weather does go bad. Well then I would check out the $20 150w HPS thread. It has a link that is supposed to sell 150w HPS w/ ballast for $20. If...

@ 4 feet then I would say 400watts would be an abslolute minimum! & 1000 watt would be adequate i guess. But nothing really compares to the sun. It's very hard to match that light indoors. So have you already pulled this plant up? Where do you live (what state & how far north or south)...

errr excuse me, i was thinking 600. With a 250 watt, forget about it. I mean you are talking about 4x 60 watt regular lightbulbs being on. Honestly, you can conserve that much elec a month I bet if you try. That being said... again I say, if you plan on continuing to grow... even grow larger...

You said "new" place. Well if you just moved into there & the power isn't included in your rent. Well then you just turned the power on in your name. Since you just turned it on, you can establish a high power consumption & it will be no problem. In fact that will be a good thing if you plan on...

Ok this will prolly be a very short thread. I just need someone to tell me quickly why this won't work because I'm sure if it did then someone would have done it already. So I'm just thinking of a vaporizer (humidifier) my folks used to run in the room when i was a kid & sick. You would fill...
