I decided to order an A51 RW150. I think the coverage should be good next to the XGS190 and still be a significant reduction in heat by taking out the ballast (had to have it in the same closet) and the 400W HPS. Fran, My grow style has shifted and I'm still trying to figure out which is the...

I have a 40"wide by 36" deep by 7" high space. Currently, I have a 400W HPS beside an area 51 XGS190. It's all working fine except in the hot season it gets too hot in the room. Tops out around 100 but can get even hotter in some areas and stress the plants. Thinking of getting a second Area...

So, I snipped one small bud so I could get a better look at the trichs without having to move everything around. My loup is too small, but I'd say it's 60/40 cloudy/clear. Definitely will let the rest keep going and conserve what we have left. Thanks for the input!:clap:

Thanks! I have been checking the trichs with the jeweler's loup I have (not ideal but gives me an idea at least) and the plant in question definitely has some cloudy trichs. Unfortunately, I haven't found any amber ones yet but I'm at least approaching a 50/50 split clear to cloudy, maybe edging...

Replacing my 8x2' T5HO fixture with one of the XGS-190's from A51. Ordered it, just waiting for it to be filled and shipped. I know he's been backlogged. But it will go straight into my roughly 3.5x3x5 space beside my 400W HPS. I think the two together will provide a nice supply of light without...

So, I grow just to supply my wife and I with medicine and had a couple bad rounds last year, so we're running out of medicine now and have three plants that are 1-2 weeks from being at their peak harvesting time. Well, one looks like it might have over a week, one maybe a week, and one that's...

Use air pots or smart pots and it will help extend how long you can keep it in the same pot if you're in soil.

Yeah, I do 2-3 per month using just one 3x3ft space, only Autos, soil, and a 400w HPS plus 6x2ft T5 and several Crees for side lighting. You have a TON of space and lighting unless you want to make trees, but it seems easier to do a greater number of smaller plants than fewer giant ones. Also...

Can you please explain the reason for you feeling this way? I get that it simplifies the process by helping to control humidity, but why is that a negative? Is there an argument for less control? I'm trying to get better at curing and understand it better, so I don't understand why keeping...

Thanks for this great thread! let's keep it going with cutting edge info regarding autos and how best to grow them. I've recently converted my grow to run 6 autos at a time, doing three one month and another three the next, so I should consistently harvest three autos every 5-6 weeks. I have...

I got a silk screen frame at Michael's crafts and used dry ice. It got me 1 gram of kief for quite a bit of shake, so I wasn't too happy with it. Hoping bubble bags will work better.

I've seen a lot of recommendations for where to buy bubble bags online, but is there somewhere that sells the supplies I'd need that I could buy it today? I live in a major city in the US, so any nationwide chain or type of store would be helpful. Thanks!

Very nice list! I'd love to hear more about them. Chocolope, although not "new", is one I really want to try. I've read it's easy to grow and it was my favorite in terms of high and flavor when I tried it in Amsterdam last year. Who else has suggestions?

I agree that over-drying is a bummer, but if you leave too much moisture then don't open the jar for a week or two (like if you have several jars and are only using one), you might open a jar to find mold all over your bud, which sucks. The last thing you want is to risk ruining all your bud...
