    Changing lighting schedule by 12 hours.

    I would like to change my lights from being on in the day (8am-8pm) to on in the night (8pm-8am). Right now the days are getting warmer and my temps are getting a little high and will only continue to get higher. Could I turn the lights out for 24 hours and then start up a completely opposite...

    Compensation for a short flush?

    Is there anything that can be done to correct for a too short flush time? I had to chop early and now have a bit of a harsh taste. Thanks

    Is 12 hours a very firm number?

    I recently added a second grow tent. There is a single timer (Hydrofarm mechanical) controlling both 12 hour cycles. The cycles alternate. So I am trying to provide each tent with exactly 12 hours, but I'm thinking the increments on the timer are maybe not so accurate and one tent may get...

    One ballast to two alternating lights?

    I'm looking at setting up a second tent and to save money I would like to run both light systems off the same ballast. How would I provide power to one light for 12h and then shift power to the other light for the next 12h and repeat? I'm assuming there exists some switcher but I've never seen...

    A question about hash.

    I posted this in general and got no responses hopefully the advanced members can help me out. I just made some hash for the first time. Using a 4 set Bubble Bag. Does the hash from different micron sized bags smoke differently? Is there a reason to keep it separate or can I throw it all...

    Hash from Bubble Bags

    I just made some hash for the first time. Does the hash from different micron sized bags smoke differently? Is there a reason to keep it separate or can I throw it all together? I rolled the hash into cookie shapes and then tore it into rice sized pieces. It has been drying for two days...

    A guess how much thread.

    So this is lame but just play long and throw out your best guess. It has a little over a week before I chop it down. I have an idea about the weight and would like to compare it to others'.

    Drip System

    I have a 50 gal trash can as a reservoir. A sump pump into a 1/2" hose travels out of the top of the can and along the ground 20' and it is capped at the end. About 15 1/4" hoses (2" each) branch off the 1/2" and end in adjustable drippers. Problem is the system will siphon the reservoir...

    Flowering w/o dark cycle?

    I was running a 18/6 light cycle, my timer went belly up so I just left the lights on. This was a couple weeks ago and now it looks like I've got some white hair pre-flowers. This is my mother plant so obviously I don't want it to flower. Is it possible that somehow the plant has begun to...

    How do you grow in an apartment? (w/o getting busted)

    I've been growing in houses for the last 2+ years, but now I'm thinking of moving into an apartment. Is it safe? I have a tent with 1200W I run a 6" cooling fan and a 4" to carbon filter. This doesn't sound out of place in a house but apartments are often very poorly insulated. Also when I...

    Changing to new strains.

    I've been growing ISS for the last year plus. I've got a jones to try out some indicas, I'm thinking white russian, aurora indica and NLxShiva. Would these three plants grow well together? ISS has a bit of sativa in it and I've topped heavily and gotten good yields. Do people top indicas in...

    Bought clones got a male, WTF?

    So I didn't look to sex the plants and the male has released pollen in my veg room. Are all my veg plants now going to seed out? Should I risk it or just start a new veg crop? Why would a dispensary sell a male plant? I'm a bit pissed but these are the first clones I've ever bought and I don't...

    Flower under veg lighting?

    Would it be possible to flower under veg lighting (T5 6400K) for the first two weeks and then move to HPS lighting? Would this shorten the time needed in the HPS lit room? Would it decrease yield or cause any other problems? Thanks.

    Three lighting options for veg area/room.

    1) 2' T5's four lights total, 92 total watts. I already have two (hydrofarm single bulb with reflector) of these so this would be the cheapest option. 2) 4' T5 setup (hydrofarm unit or something similar), about 200 watts. 3) A 250MH or 400MH. The cost difference between these isn't very...

    Cloning Question

    Does it matter how much light (hours) clones get? I put some in rooters and the light went off about an hour after. The cycle is 14 on 10 off. They are looking a little limp after a full day in the dome. I usually leave clones under 24/7 light and have had a good success rate.

    40 inch height restriction

    I posted this in Indoor Growing, but have had no response. It's a long ramble but if you have advise I would appreciate it. That is the distance from the flood table to the bottom of the glass on the reflectors. I'm wondering if I should keep the ebb and flow system or move to a drip that...

    Max height 40 inches.

    That is the distance from the flood table to the bottom of the glass on the reflectors. I'm wondering if I should keep the ebb and flow system or move to a drip that would allow me to place the plants on the floor and gain another 14 inches or so. My plants recently got too big so I pulled out...

    Ongoing problem with thrips, should I use a dunk?

    I've been battling thrips for months. I can never get them to go completely away. I'll think I'm doing good and then I'll slack on treatments and the little bastards show up again. I've been using nematodes as well as neem oil and bang!. I alternate spray type on the foliage every two weeks. I...

    CFL or T5 for Veg

    I've been using 2-26w cfl's to veg but the plants have stretched more than I would like them to, so I'm thinking about switching to a single 150w cfl or 2-3 2ft t5's. This light setup would be used for vegging clones and maintaining a mother. Another option would be to get two splitters and...
