Broadly yes and as MoodyShoes outlines; don't rush the drying and curing.

I am not sure as I am lucky enough to date to not have encountered any pests of any kind; I'd suggest keeping them hydrated is the best thing you can do and perhaps give them a light misting shortly before you switch into night cycle so as not to magnify the scorching under intense light. For...

I wouldn't trim anything until you're well into flowering personally; all the while its vegging you'll want those big shadeleaves to suck up the light and have the plant do its thing. Once it is turning its attention to bud forming, particularly when leaves are yellowing, you can trim (look at...

Who pissed in your cornflakes? I am just discussing something from an objective point of view, with no particular viewpoint either way, just curious from a scientific point of view. I am not on commission for LED lamps so I'd thank you not to spread your bile across the forums. If you can't...

No it was actually a colorado based cannabis grower who seemed to have no connection to any particular light manufacturer as far as I could tell. It was a very large commercial set up.

Interesting again - the video comparison I saw had 600W HPS lamps alongside 268W LEDs in a commercial set up in the USA, and there was no noticeable difference. The anti-luddite in me wants to say that modern LEDs are of sufficent quality to be suitable replacements for HPS lamps. I am not the...

Interesting - I have only gone on the marketing information of the Vipar - what has you conclude that the 268W Viparspectra is a good as a 1000w HPS? Everything I have seen suggests they are very decent lamps, I just have no first-hand experience of LED growing as of yet.

Can you tell them apart that early?

Going for increasing ventilation and keeping temps on the lower side for a few days to hopefully compensate for the stress - the weather here for the last week has typically, been unpredictable with the hottest summer I can recall in the last 5 years. Sods law I am growing a plant that is suited...

Interesting stuff - I am definitely willing to believe that regards the mother plant...

I read that hermaphrodite plants are meant to be the avenue to producing feminized seeds, but I expect it takes a more controlled environment for truly feminized seeds. I would be more inclined to suggest a mix of male/female and higher ratio of hermies from those as suggested by others.

I have been tempted to replace my 600W HPS due to heat/cost issues (and concerns of my electric meter spinning its skirt off) with the supposedly 600W equivalent Viparspectra LED which runs at 268W. Costs about £168 to buy one in the UK.

Hi Guys, Come back from 10 days away and it seems that my Jamaican Pearl which does like to grow rather tall has got too tall and has got light burn! They are 4 weeks into flowering - do you think they will recover from this or have I buggered my yields? Thanks for the input guys!

There I agree - sure enough (with help from the local government) she is off the streets now, last thing I heard, but only through a lot of help and she's highly unlikely to have a successful and fulfilled life. I have improved my own circumstances that my own living standards and income means...

Fair enough, the last time I went away for 10 days they were still vegging (and a different strain) and I banged them under the CFL with no issues at all. All of my concerns centre around the fact budding will be underway. My answer is to increase general airflow and keep heat on the lower side...

Ow sheeeeeeeeet

A quick chat to some of the homeless in the UK and you can quite clearly see the majority have significant mental health problems. Speaking from a genuine experience here: One night out a few years ago (I was only 19 years old) walking down the town centre I hear "Got any spare change mate?"...

Meanwhile Canada is the next in line for decriminalisation including recreational purposes. The overwhelming evidence is compelling mature governments to recognise the economic benefits from removing the public bill of arrests and prosecutions coupled with a brand new market and tax revenue...

Well Yulia Skripal has been interviewed in public albeit it quite a limited one, this seems to be more out of fear for speaking against the Russian state, and my friends fiancé is a cleaner in the hospital in Salisbury and was on shift when they were first admitted. It is not a conspiracy and...

Good Morning Ladies & Gentlemen, I am faced with the question of going away for around 10 days and it is out of the question to leave my dodgy 600w HPS all alone with 4 flowering Jamacian Pearls. By the time I go away they should be starting week 3 of flower and past post of their stretching...
