I plan on having at least 4 Bonzai Mother plants in my Veg Tent (2'x2'x4') and was planning on using 6500K 200W CFL lights for the first four weeks and then switching the lights with my 200W 3500K COB LED lights. Would there be any environmental/light shock from this switch to my plants? I...

My wife and I ended up moving to a place were I had no attaic space and I also purchased a 600w MH Digi growlight. Due to all of this (New location + the heat from the lamp) I was forced to reconstruct my grow box from a closed unit to a partially reflective more open setup but honestly I like...

Hi guys my first ever grow, looking for some help from some experienced peeps.. I've got 3 snow whites going in biobizz all mix (probably wasn't a good idea going for the all mix but they look healthy right now) I've got them under a 125w cfl and will be getting a marshydro 600, well 2 for the...

Okay here's my situation. I can describe more about how I ended up here if you want, but it's not really relevant to my question. So I have 4 feminized northern lights plants that are 5 weeks old and 2 grow 'spaces'. I started out with one grow space for the 4, but realized they'd probably kill...

Hey everyone first of all, how cool is this community! So I finally bought my first shipment of autoflowering seeds 10 Hindu kush and 20 sweet tooth! I started by germinating all of them and planting them into 1 litre pots that contained soil-les mix. And letting them grow with sunlight...

i made a simple and cheap grow box made from a Rubbermaid bucket($10-20). Lined with the reflective shields you would buy for your car from the dollar store, 2 filtered intake holes($15), 1 outtake fan($30), 4 light sockets ($10) with regular 40 watt CFLs($10each), and a regular desk fan($5-10)...

I have just finished building a new stealth grow box out of an old dresser I gutted. Right now I have four 55w CFLs in there and two 36w LED lights. Right now I've hitting a maximum 83 degrees so it's not too bad. I've got the foxfarm trio nutes and Foxfarm ocean forrest soil blended with 20%...

I have a bag seed thats about 3months old, bushy as all hell and in 24hr light as it always has been. It has trichomes..its dark green leaves are healthy but dark and resinous to the point of being sticky. What's goin on here lol??

I moved one of my NLA into a new grow area with 9 150w, actual 45w 405w with 24,300 lumens @ 2700k. The other is under 12 100w, actual 23w 276w 19,200 lumens @ 6500k All clf bulbs Lights are running for 18/6 Both are 23 days old So the experiment begins to see what works better
