I imagine they would just give you a fruity pot smell. It's not going to remove any odor it will only mix w/ it.

As for the MG soil. Well i can't speak from experience so I wouldn't want you to take me to seriously either. But I would think if the nutes in the soil are water soluable then they would get weaker w/ each consecutive watering. So they would get weaker as time goes on & since you say you are 3+...

I agree. I haven't looked into this yet but if you can get a 150 watt HPS w/ ballast & bulb for $20.... well that is an unbelievable deal if you wanna do small scale grow. I can't imagine how you could beat it & fact is if you go w/ 70 watts you're going too small. 70 watts could do a very small...

yeah, just go by the looks of the leaves. Indica will have Very fat dark green leaves while sativa will have very long & skinny finger leaves. The fact is that most all strains being circulated about & sold are hybrids of indica & sativa. Most of them having mostly indica genetics. For indoor...

Is that the high water mark of the flood in your first 3 pics? If you don't have really well developed roots then I could see that not being hi enuf. May rig your flood valve to get the water level up another inch. Just a thought.

yeah i'll help too, when should i be there. :) 8-10 weeks is prolly a good estimate but you don't wanna decide by the calander. You want to look @ your buds w/ a good magnifying glass, or a jewelers loop or some other magnyfying device. when the buds mature you will see the tichromes (the...

Ok, well first of all... the flood light you say is for warmth. Unless you are living in the arctic circle & growing in the out-building then warmth is most likely not your friend, quite the opposite. All the lighting you have on your plants typically will create more warmth than you want. if...

Sorry i didn't pay close attention the the dates on posts & such or I should have know they weren't being waited down by buds. I'm guessing if they are in cups & the weight of the plant is tipping them over then your containers may be too small which could easily be why they are not more stout...

Also I just thought to mention that if it's not your nutes that are making your Ph so hi but instead the water. Then I would consider buying filtered water or else find a friend w/ good water Ph & bring water in from there. In fact that goes doubly so if your nutes are actually bringing the Ph...

I don't know if all nutes work the same but the nutes i've used which for veg is mainly superthrive & botanicare pro grow. Well the Nutes will actually bring the PH down. & As the water I use is actually a great Ph initially I have to use PH up to get it in range. So if your nutes are actually...

The way I read this was that you were thinking because the hps bulb didn't feel as hot as the MH bulb that blew... you think the hps bulb may be bad? I would say no. As long as it is lighting the place up mega bright comparable to the MH bulb then it is good regardless of putting off less heat...

Can you do pics? You say top pebs don't get wet.... well how close does the water level get to them? Is it because your flood fitting is too low or you filled your medium up too far above the flood valve (same thing really) I mean if the water level is reaching your flood fitting level then...

Better yet i would like to know why it would be better than a MH bulb for veg & an HPS for flower. They make switchable ballasts & over the long term using 2 different bulbs for veg & flower will not cost any extra. So why not use a switchable ballast w/ both bulbs?

I'm not familiar w/ these new lites but I am a fan of a switchable ballast. MH veg / HPS flower. Extra expense of 1 bulb @ start but you get the same # of hours out of 'em so 1 MH + 1 HPS is about the same cost of 2x HPS. but you get the best light for both stages. Even w/ a hybrid bulb I would...

Are you just talking about trimming the plant to bush it out? because you can trim the top of a plant & the actual piece you trim off doesn't grow out but you will get 2 different branches that grow in stead & it also encourages side growth so it's helpful if you are limited in vertical space...

I too am sorry to hear about your troubles. It's funny that rule #1 "don't tell anybody!" is #1 for a reason, it bites so many ppl in the ass. But yet it is the hardest one to follow. When you help some plants grow in to something amazingly beautiful you become so proud, & rightfully so. It's...

Personally i will stick them in soil as each one sprouts. as soon as the seed is cracked and has the tiniest little white nub sticking out of it I will put it in soil about 1/4" to 1/2" deep w/ the root pointed down. Try your best not to touch the root w/ your hands. If they crack, plant them...

I got a very wierd feeling from your post that what you were talking about was taking off the top half of plant & and planting it hopeing to keep it under 12/12 & expecting it to but along w/ your other plant & any other stuff you may have growing. This is crazy & a bad idea if that's what you...

I would argree that there are better ways to keep your plants short. Why not use trimming & tying, & veg the plant up to a small size then go to 12/12 to force flower. You control when the light changes from veg to flower, so you control how big the plant gets. That being the case I don't...

very nice! For sq. footage I know some will say 4'x4' is right for 1000Watts. I believe that's for perfect conditions. As far as how far you can stretch it I would say 4' x 5' easily & 5' x 5' very doable. I'm sure you can go larger than that even but you will certainly be sacrificing light...
