    Plants are budding sooner than I had hoped?

    Hey I am growing a Third Dimension mother plant and 7 clones. Mother is 2 months, clones are 1 month. Light schedule has been erratic, but no less than 14 hours on. (I know that's sloppy, I have no excuse) Before I took clones or knew the sex of the mother she got a couple days of 12/12 The...

    TGA Third Dimension duds?

    Up until now, (mainly due to paranoia of ordering seeds online) I have only tried germinating my own fresh seeds which were produced on my first grow from bagseed, and have had nearly 100% germ success in my short history of growing. (They usually pop in 24-48 hours) I finally took the plunge...

    Slow finish or am I missing something?

    I started growing these plants 4 months ago. Seeds were from unknown plant grown last year which made nanners late into flower and knocked itself up. These plants are also nannering, but since the seeds seem to always be female, and only a few are produced, I don't really see it as a bad thing...

    Cool-tube cooling, PUSH or PULL? etc.

    I'm currently pushing my intake through my cool-tube to avoid the extra heat going through my centrifugal fan. Is that a good idea? I've seen good arguments either way, just wondering if someone could give a definitive answer?

    oops i let the sunshine in during 12/12

    I wasn't sure where to post this question. I have a window in my grow area that was covered by panda film, but yesterday I sliced the film and opened the window for ventilation during the day, but forgot to seal the flap before lights out. And when the sun came up this morning, quite a bit of...

    Question: Growing Two Crops Under One Set Of Lights

    I've got 10 plants growing under two Tek Two T55 HO 2' lights. Things are getting pretty crowded in my little grow room, and the lights are not intense enough to cover all the plants any more. It is time to switch to 12/12 on four of my plants. The other 6 plants are about 5 weeks old and 8"...

    New member frustrated.

    Howdy! I'm a new member and I'm having trouble figuring out how to use this site. Nothing seems to work properly. For instance, I tried to make a photo album, but I can't upload any photos. There's no 'add photo' button or anything, so now I have an album with no photos. I tried to join live...
