    Dimming the light for part of the cycle?

    Does the light have to be at full wattage all the time? Suppose I am in veg. Can I run the light at full wattage for 10-12 hours and dim it down to 50,30,10% for another 2-6 hours to prevent flowering? If so, how do I decide how much to dim it by? Thank you

    The sky is the limit?

    So, I was thinking about upgrading to HLG 650R board light some day: https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/products/hlg-650r Because it's so powerful, the manufacturer recommends not hanging it any closer that 30 inches from the canopy. Add the thickness of the board and a couple inches of...

    Silent capable fan+filter to completely eliminate smell from a 4x4 tent?

    Hi, Can you guys recommend a fan+ filter that would be able to eliminate odor completely from a 4x4 tent? Also, quietness is a must. Is there a capable, truly silent fan out there that won't break the bank? Did anybody ever try using a dual filter set-up? Like 2 filters on 2 ends of one...

    Germinating in a mix of water and hydrogen peroxide?

    If nothing else, there research that shows increased germination rates. H2O2 supplies extra oxygen across the membrane.

    Germinating in a mix of water and hydrogen peroxide?

    Thanks for sharing. Ed Rosenthal recommends using 1 part drug store peroxide (3% strength) to 5 parts of water in his book. Last time I tried to grow, my seedlings sprouted, but died from damping off a ~week later later, even though I didn't overwater. I read that they can come from breeders...

    Germinating in a mix of water and hydrogen peroxide?

    Does anybody here germinate in a glass of water and H2O2 to kill pathogens and aerate the seed? What proportions of peroxide to water do you mix?

    Blurple lights

    What's their "true" equivalent wattage? Like, if a blurple draws 200 wt from the wall, what's its true HID equivalent?

    Blissful Wizard

    Appreciate the insight! How many would you grow in a 4x4 tent? How was the yield/effect? How long did you veg, flower? Did you top? If yes, when? When did you ScroG? Would 2 blurples with 240 watt from the wall each (allegedly 600 Wt HID equivalent per each blurple) be enough for a good veg of...

    Growing and drying in the same tent

    Thank you, that's an interesting idea, but I just checked Home Depot's website, and plywood is ridiculously expensive (2x4 easily ~30 bucks; 4 sides - ~$120 + 2''x2'' + top and bottom. Building a box would cost more than buying a second tent. Maybe I'll seal the closet with plastic bags and...

    Blissful Wizard

    I have seeds. Supposed to be pure Blissful Wizard. I also have Grand Daddy Purple and a cross of San Fernando Valley x Sensi Star. I want to grow all 3, but I really prefer sativa effect, so I want to have more of Blissful. I was thinking about doing it in a 4x4 tent with 2 LED Blurples (240...

    Growing and drying in the same tent

    Why 78?? Everywhere I read, it said 80-82 was the borderline for flower, never to go above that. Everywhere I looked, they recommended 68-75, 80 being borderline. So, why would I want to go 78 F--so close to the borderline? (Sorry for the large green font--just trying to make it easier for you...

    Blissful Wizard

    So, I got a hold of this strain. It's famous for winning 1st place in the 2015 SoCal Cannabis Cup as a non-solvent hash. It' a cross of GSC (which I love) and Captain Cookies. I never tried Blissful Wizard, but I love GSC, and folks say BW provides the kind of energetic, warm, focused kind of...

    Growing and drying in the same tent

    ^^ Does my train of thought make sense, or is it flawed somewhere? Constructive critique is welcome.

    Growing and drying in the same tent

    I am planning to start the grow soon and finish around January. I am in a cold state, so getting rid of heat shouldn't be a problem (as in cracking the window open). Humidity in January fluctuates between 79 (morning) and 57 (afternoon), so I'll just keep using a dehumidifier. My goal humidity...

    Growing and drying in the same tent

    So, I am planning to grow several different strains in the same tent. It's gonna be my first time. Different strains will probably have different flowering time. I need my room (let alone my apartment) to have no odor whatsoever. I have a budget for only 1 tent, so when some plants will...

    Are Walmart Great Value 2-4 ft, 20-30 Watt LED grow light bars Okay for seedling stage?

    600 watt CMH + 2 LEDs: 240 Watt from the wall each, claims to be 600 Watt HID substitute each. So, 600+240+240 = 1080 from the wall (1800 Watt total HID equivalent if the 600 watt LED claim is true) for a 4x4 tent: It won't be an overkill, waste of electricity, and a risk of light stress?

    Are Walmart Great Value 2-4 ft, 20-30 Watt LED grow light bars Okay for seedling stage?

    Thank you for the responses. I appreciate it, guys! My friend has a VIVOSUN Ceramic Metal Halide. I don't remember if it's 300 or 600W (his gf used to grow veggies). He offered me to borrow it. Would supplementing these 2 hydrocrunch led's with a 300W or 600W CMH do the job? Should I use all...
