I have a grow box, One of my plants is reallllly shooting up, and almost outgrowing my box.. Is it safe to cut the top tier branches off (down to the growth nodes at the second tier), to reduce the height of the plant? Or would doing so just fuck up the plant completely? And if it's safe, could...

I have Very limited Height to work with. I have a 4 foot cabinet with two lights, (one 150 watt HPS, and one 175 watt MH). I was wondering if it is possible to grow decent plants, using only 12 hours light straight from seedlings. My idea is that this will allow them to go into flower asap...

I am growing in dirt. I was told to use equal parts of Peat Moss, Perlite, and Vermiculite. But I can't find Vermiculite at any stores for some reason. Will I be fine using just peat moss and perlite?.. If not, are there any alternatives to Vermiculite i might be able to use instead? OR is...

I got an HPS Ballast, Mogul Socket, and an HPS bulb today. I went to hook it up, but there's only one white, one black, and one red wire coming out of the ballast.. How is it supposed to get power? :/ There's no cord, or connectors for me to connect a cord. What's the deal?...

I am rigging up a grow cabinet and i have decided on a plan for hanging my lights. I will be using CFLs. Here's a diagram to help visualize my idea. I am going to rig up a cover to reflect upward light back down, and the whole unit will be suspended with small chains so i can simply raise the...

I currently have a grow box with two bar light fixtures which hold 2 lights each. I am using four 20 watt bulbs. 2 are "plant and aquarium" lights, and two are "daylight" lights. I used these lights to get the proper light spectrum and adequate lumens. However, I have been seeing a lot of...

This is my first plant. I really don't know what I'm doing.. I've planted it in "Black Earth" brand Soil which is a Hummus (plant material) based soil with NO PEAT MOSS. It is kinda loamy tho.. i think i should have mixed in some sand.. but too late now... I use Plant Prod 20-20-20 plant food...
