Hey all. We are about 2 months into a soil grow under a 430W HPS. Plants are 2 1/2 ft tall. Been using the GH Flora series supplemented with diamond nectar and floralicious grow. The GH feeding schedule shows a transitional period from veg to flower. So how long is the transitional period...

We currently have a 400W HPS ballast & Hortilux bulb. It works great for veg & flowering, but we have been debating on getting an mh setup. To save some money, we have been looking into a conversion mh bulb that will run on our ballast. Has anyone used one before? Is it just as efficient as...

I have found a killer deal on some equipment (mylar and a reflector), something that could save me about 50 dollars or so. But they are bitching and moaning about it getting delivered to the house. Going on about how it leaves a paper trail, and that we will start getting watched if I did it...

Our friends created a homemade reflector and gave one to us for use with a 400w HPS bulb. It was awesome of them to do it, so we naturally took it. Upon closer inspection though, I have my doubts. First of all, it is cut from thin plate steel. The inside has no material lining it to reflect the...

I pretty much use the General Hydroponics line of nutes & supplements exclusively. I had success with them before, and they are reasonably affordable for my budget. Before, I used the Flora Series (Micro, Gro, & Bloom) along with Floralicious Bloom and a bottle of Diamond Nectar. I went to the...

Last weekend, my roommate threw a party that got out of control and the cops came to break it up. I was at work, my other roommate was off somewhere. For whatever reason, my roommate left to pick someone up, so when leo showed up there was no one on the lease there. Everyone left, no one stopped...

After I cut my trees down and hang them, how long do I need to keep them strung up before I transfer them to my glass jars and the fridge? Any helpful advice about the setup they are in while they are upside down (fan ideas, recommended temperatures, etc).

Me and my roommate both went out of town for the christmas holidays. He didn't get back until about the 5th of January. I got back yesterday. We found a mutual friend to take care of our 5 very healthy, in the last few weeks of budding, females. We told her how to prepare water (all she really...

I bought a brand new miniature (no bigger than 11 inches) bong (tobacco water pipe if anyone official asks), and I am flying home tomorrow. It is still brand new, unused, still in the bubble wrap. I was going to pad it out a bit more with some wrap and put it in my checked baggage. Will I be ok...

Had to come home for Turkey Day. It's only a few hours away, but everyone in the place is gone, no roommates or anything. I set up a fan, made sure the light was far enough away, and gave the plants more water than usual. It's getting to me. I liked looking at my girls everyday. Now I have to...

I have General Hydroponics Flora series (Micro, Gro, & Bloom) as my source of nutes. However, I am doing a soil grow (Fox Farms Ocean Forest w/perlite mixed in). Is it safe to use the full strength nutrient solution, or should I reduce it by half since I am using soil? My plants are 7 weeks...

I just bought a bag of Fox farm Ocean Forest due to numerous recommendations. The bag goes on about earthworm castings. What are these, what do they do for my soil and plants, and do they require any additional maintenance? Or is it nothing I need to worry about. Also, I bought a few bags of...

Hello all. First, some quick history. This is my first grow. This Monday, the plants will be 3 weeks old. Currently, there are 5 of them. They have been kept under 4 28 watt CFLs in a closet. We have been using a fan to encourage them to grow thicker, and to keep away bugs. We water them on a...

Plants are about 10 days old. Growing under 28 watt CFLs in soil in 80 degrees. About 2 days ago, I noticed one of the tips of the leaves had turned yellow. In the past 2 days, two of my plants (one of them one of the biggest) have had their primary leaves turn yellow around the edges. The...

We are doing an indoor grow under T8 flouros (upgrading to a mh soon). Temperature is a solid 82 degrees in the area. Plants are in a soil base, but we started them in peat pots for easier transplanting later. They are about a week old. We water them 3 times a week, as they are seedlings. This...

HUGE newbie question I know. First time grower, so be take it easy guys. :? So I am ready to order a ballast and a bulb. Specifically from here: Ballast: 400 Watt - High Pressure Sodium Ballast - Multi-Tap - Sola #E-971-WDD-SO400 Light Bulb Bulb: 400 Watt HPS I should be good to go right...

Where can I go about buying mh or hps bulbs? I live in a rather conservative state, so driving down to the local hydro shop is out of the option. I saw that the local hardware stores sold them, but they were a far lower price than those I found online. Are these different in anyway? Also, if...

Hi all! Obviously, I am a first timer to all this, so naturally my knowledge on a few things are lacking. I have gone over this site for the past couple of days, so I know more than I did before, but still no experience. Obviously. Anyway, we just planted seeds yesterday. We currently have...
