Cool, thank you for the heads up! I don't doubt one bit that what you linked is better but I'm a newb in understanding these new gen lights and am rather interested in understanding the comparison between say that fixture and if you were to assemble a cheap kit yourself using these parts: $33 -...

This 315w conversion kit really caught my eye as a future upgrade to my 400w HPS for flower, especially if I buy a second one down the line (+a cheap hood), combine that with a new 3100k bulb off ebay for only $60 and I get a pretty nice upgrade to my flowering setup for less than $230...

http://www.heatsinkusa.com/5-886-wide-extruded-aluminum-heatsink/ Is a great site for sourcing heatsinks, can choose your desired length to suite your needs. I rarely see people individually setup CPU heatsinks for cobs unless its just a couple or a few, would be better to run something like I...

Very informative, thanks a ton! It's super dry here in the winter months so knowing I can do a little trial and error with the ventilation for that is fun news to me. :grin:

I'm running a 400w HID, the fan is a hydrofarm 6", rated at 400cfm. The closet is roughly 3.5'x3.5'x7'. The hood is rather large, the typical barn shaped ones with two 6" holes on each side. Smell most likely won't be a problem until flowering at least so I'm just looking for the most...

Hello! :weed: I recently bought an air cooled hood and inline fan, I'm a little uncertain though as to how I'm suppose to setup the ventilation when I'm not using a carbon filter (for veg months) to help minimize stress on the fan. From my understanding, it would be worth it to hook up ducting...

I've been doing this myself haha, with no problems! It works fantastic! Love having full control over temps now during extreme heatwaves and only needing my a/c on low + like a temp of 74 will keep my grow closet(3.5x3x7) bellow 75 all day on a 110+f day. Only issue is to be sure you really...

I've left plants in solos for way longer than they should have been (4+ weeks), they were rootbound to hell, way outgrowing their containers with no problems.. I just think in his instance it's a little too young to be moving, it's barely starting its second nodes... another week would be more...

I would personally let it get a little more rootbound and let it develop its second nodes more, unless there's an emergency or real reason to transplant now it's just going to be some unneeded delay to it's growth. I'm just a believer of not disturbing a plant in a small container like that or...

I always thought LST wasn't redistributing auxins but simply when the main stem of the plant is bent, gravitropism kicks in and the rest of the plant tries to orientate itself from there on out by growing lower nodes vertically when exposed to light and air? The only time I thought auxins truly...

I've been LSTing after watering, waiting at least a day or 2 preferably for soil I've found to work the best. I'm assuming with hydro there's not really a preferred time, it's just the case of being extra gentle in your bends if they're more pliable, if you've never had issues with kinking at...

Hey man, welcome to the growing party! :hump: As Intenseneal said, they're looking like they're begging you for more light (stretchy growth) and are hungry for Nitrogen (lower leaves turning yellow). Mind posting more details about your grow setup? How many lights, what watts and color...

Boats 'N Hoes, my medicine grows...in my closet.

Very tough decision in my opinion :-?, I'd probably end up getting rid of either the blue dream or blue widow, even though both of those sound like great strains I think the others in comparison are simply better choices. If the blue dream was doing noticeably better than the blue widow or vice...

That's a great idea, I will have to take a page from your book for sure as it sounds like it would work great for what I need :clap:. I was thinking of something like that but w/ small holes at the ending of the hose (say, 6 pen sized holes, 3 on each side) for a more even spread of water (and...

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks again for the help and reply to my thread :D. I have a question though, if this were your grow, would you bother with leaving the MH bulb in the first 10 days or so of flower as to minimize stretch and keep my canopy even or should I just switch to the HPS...

Thanks so much, guys!!! That means a ton to me, thank you for the kind words! :D As for height, it's not an issue whatsoever haha - I have about 7.3ft of clearance in the closet these plants are being grown in :). The main reason for LST this first grow was for practice for future grows (I...

Thanks for the reply dickie, I'm not sure you can tell in the above picture the length of nodes but I'm pretty comfortable with the size of my canopy so I think I'm going to be switching soon after this transplant :). So you think I should be fine switching to the HPS and not letting them...

I'm anticipating a switch to flowering soon as I'm sort of running out of grow space but I still have roughly half a foot of horizontal room to work with. The current plan is to transplant my 4, very root-bound plants from their 3 gallon pots into 5 gallons tomorrow, but this leaves me with my...

Will do, I'm wanting to give it more time just incase. Plant #2 being slightly younger than #1 in the pictures is also a factor in my opinion of it being male but i don't want to be anxious when I'm confident I caught them young enough to give me some waiting room still.
