I decided to upgrade my closet grow by installing two cool tube lights instead of the single one I now have. I thought I'd try to come up with the tubes running on parallel vent lines--instead of in line with each other. My closet is only 2' deep so the size of the contraption was critical. This...

I've been using a 400w home-made cool tube to illuminate my scrog that is four feet wide by two feet deep. I'm thinking of getting two 250w switchable ballasts and building some sort of double cool tube. My question is: what position and orientation of the two lights will give the best light...

I'm trying to decide what to grow next in my closet. I've got some nice fem seeds from Nirvana but I had a crop from some bag seed of purple kush. Every seed produced a hermie but the smoke was absolutely some of the sweetest-tasting weed I have ever smoked. It smells like insense and has a...

Hello All, I have grown four crops using a Baby Bloomer ebb & flow system, which has 10 five-inch pots in it. This time I bought feminized seeds and plan to do a scrog. Since I won't have to weed out any males, can I not use the pots and just fill the tray with hydroton? It seems to me...

I learned a lesson about bag seed: got 6 seeds from a quarter of purple kush. They all grew into some real healthy hermies. (Ah sh*t!) So, I now have a few ozs of some of the seediest weed I've ever seen. The bud is delicious but the seeds are a PITA. I'm considering turning a good portion...

This is my third grow and the second time I've had problems with only one out of six plants. What I don't understand is how one plant can look so sick when all of the others look so healthy. I'm using an ebb & flow system so all plants get exactly the same treatment. The sick plant has...

I've searched these forums and Googled the question with no definitive answer. Given the following details, what is the maximum nutrient concentration (ppm) I should risk? Ebb & Flow hydroponic 400w HPS White Widow Five weeks into flowering Using CNS17 Bloom with Liquid Karma Canopy temp...

I have four white widow girls that are almost three weeks into flowering. About a week ago, I supercropped the tops of the two tallest to make them even with the other two for a SOG. One of them developed yellow stripes on all of the new growth-even on the branches that weren't traumatized...

It seems everything I've read says that curling leaf tips are an indication of too much nutes. My 4 WW girls are just over a week into flowering. I changed the nute solution to half grow and half bloom totaling 1 Tbs/gal when I started the 12/12 cycle. Also added 2 tsp Liquid Karma/gal...

The flowering section of my closet gets occupied for about 10 weeks per crop and my vegging section is only occupied about 4 to 5 weeks. I currently move the plants into the flowering section when they're about 12" tall and sex them in the flowering section (250w hps). What would happen if I...

"Flowering time"--does it start when you switch to 12/12 or when they actually start to show their sex? Also, I have a two chamber setup: veg and flowering. I'm running a 150w CFL light in the veg chamger. Can I sex the plants in the veg chamber (12/12 CFL) before moving them to the flower...

I just harvested my first grow consisting of two girls from Mexican bag seed. Got 450g wet, trimmed buds but most were rather "airy" and leafy. They're pretty sticky with trichs and a quick-dry bud yielded a real nice buzz after two tokes--definitely better than the parent. My setup is a 4'...

Just got my Flying Dutchman Thai-Tanic seeds yesterday from Dr. Chronic. Very pleased with the transaction even though it took over 5 weeks to get here. The Doc had the correct address, but it must have been delivered to the wrong house and then re-routed to me. Nice packaging and good...

I've got six two-week old white widow seedlings. Five of the six are beautiful. One looks like it is suffering nutrient burn (older leaves have yellow blotches and turning crispy). All plants are in the same ebb & flow system using CNS17 grow formula at a 0.4% concentration. The CNS17 guide...

OK--I'm a moron. Instead of adding 12 drops of pH down to my 6 gallon reservoir, I added pH test solution. I'm new at this. Do I need to panic and replace the whole batch? Thanks!

I have 2 girls that are 3 weeks into flowering and 29" tall. Problem is that I have run out of vertical room--can't raise my 250w HPS any higher. Tried to pull one to the side (sorta LST style) and the top snapped right off. Any recommendations?

Hello All, Newbie here with first post. Just started growing for the first time. Decided to set up a closet to grow just enough for personal use. I did a little research and decided to go the the Baby Bloomer ebb-and-flood system using CNS17 grow & bloom nutrients (kit from Better Grow...
