    24/hour light in veg is it good or should I 18/6?

    I've got 12 little sprouts going, and honestly, so far, I see the most growth when I check them in the mornings. I've been doing 18/6, with the lights set to come on just before I wake up, and while I am noticing a lot of growth during the day, the biggest changes seem to be happening with the...

    Using Indoor Grow Lights?

    Ok, well at this point I've now spent about $150, and plan another trip in 2 wks for more soil, nutes, and one more light splitter and some bulbs....so that won't be too much. I basically hit Lowe's and Home Depot for everything, and currently have a flowering room and a veg/clone cab, all done...

    How do you know when you're REALLY ready for acid?

    I was told the same thing about shrooms and cid, and didn't listen...I did 7 paper hits of this shit called widespread panic on new years last year, and it was the most amazing day of my life. Since then, I haven't done it again, and unfortunately probably never will, due to my gf and I pretty...

    Light Cycles, Please Help!

    I'm at a point now where I'm trying to balance my need to hurry and get this box done before my second set of seeds sprout, and my need to see those damn seeds sprout and reassure me that I didn't kill anything planting. Also, it's too late at night for me to go hammering and banging away on a...

    Light Cycles, Please Help!

    Thanks for the feedback guys, this has really turned a situation I was stressing over into simply a small project that can easily be done by the time my plants will be ready to clone. As a side note, someone asked about an attic....we do have one, and I actually thought about going up there...

    Light Cycles, Please Help!

    What you're describing is exactly what I'm going to do I think, so thank you for reassuring me it's doable. I just took a good, long look at my entertainment stand, and it'll be perfect for a clone cabinet. I can paint the interior and exterior white, leave two shelves in, 2 sets of dual 100w...

    Light Cycles, Please Help!

    Well I can't have separate rooms in separate places I meant. I can divide the space I already have, but that means cutting my lights in half, putting up some kinda dividing wall, light-proofing that, and having separate ventilation for each room. Now I'd rather do something well, and not have...

    Light Cycles, Please Help!

    Ok, so my problem is this- I have one grow room, and I cannot really divide it, and I cannot create another room, so I have to veg and flower all in one space. Now I really want to do a perpetual grow, but I'm afraid this won't be possible... I can do 12/12 all the time, but won't that stop...

    Small 1st Time Op-Few Questions

    Ok, so running into my first hitch I think... Now I know every newbie overwaters, and I want to avoid doing that, after reading about it so much, but I think my humidity is low enough that with the lights close in it's drying the soil right out. It's holding around 40%. I've been only...

    Small 1st Time Op-Few Questions

    Yeah, I'm set on the CFLs for this grow. Someday maybe, different house, different grow, I'll go larger scale, but by necessity I gotta keep this one slightly contained. My only problem now is finishing hanging all these pain-in-the-ass mylar blankets, and getting them not to rip while...

    Where To Set Up My Grow? 3x3 Closet Or A Corner Of My Work Room?

    Would like to see what happens if you settle on the basement corner, as that's what I just started yesterday myself. So far, with lights in place and 3/4 of the reflective surfaces hung, I think I'm losing a lot of light/heat into the rest of the basement, so if you can close it off, I'd...

    Ok, so I just came into some extra cash towards the project, and will be going shopping this afternoon. Going to pick out a no-nutrient soil for the babies, and some perlite and gravel for drainage. I have some nutes lying around, fish emulsion and miracle-gro(which i'd rather not use), but...

    Soil Question

    Ok, so getting no feedback on my other thread, but one thing I really need to get straight today is my dirt. I have a variety of potting soil in my back yard, but it's all had other types of plants, and I have no idea on the mix. Is it ok to ph it and use it, or should I just start with fresh...

    Ok, so quick bumpdate, got my first signs of life today! I checked my beans and while I didn't want to expose them too much, the first few I saw had some cracking open and little shoots appeared almost ready to pop out. How much longer should I wait to check them all? Will checking them too...
