Wait, what? I feel there's something uniquely deep being said here, but it's juuust over my head. Care to rephrase for a poor layman?

I think he means a pontoon type setup that also has UV on it. I think that sounds counter productive. You only need maybe 10 minutes of IR at the end of your light cycle to make your plants fall asleep (assuming plants are getting enough IR throughout the day from White's, which they should be)...

Damn. Sounds like a dogged thing a dog would do. My neighbor had this tree that gave really beautiful purple/pink flowers in the spring. I loved the look of their tree. They gave me a little cutting of it. There was a new shoot coming out of the ground connected to one of the ginormous main...

Eh, it's not too bad, it's just a little cozy for cloning, I guess, just 'cause the ziplock bag tends to trap a little heat. I had the tent cooler originally, but it got warmer (86-87) for a day by accident and I actually noticed a spike in PS activity so I've actively been trying to keep it a...

There was h2o2 in the water that I gave her (and if there wasn't there's no way I'd water her again!), but air, high temps, high RH, and light sounds like a perfect storm for all sorts of problems. The tent is 77 degrees right now, but in the bag I wouldn't be surprised if it was 5 degrees...

But if the dirt stays moist 24/7 you can get mold and slime and other nasties. I want the dirt to dry out a little, but you're right, in that process the larger leaves will probably dry out just as fast. I also think she might have been under a little heat stress, come to think of it. I opened...

Alright, so here's a quick update on the Chiesel/clone. Lights are off for Kid, so no pics of tomatoes quite yet. I decided against the aspirin cloning method because... I read aloe vera is within the same ?strain? as willow trees, or at least it has the same active ingredient. I also heard...

Oh, and I posted this link in my lastest post inside my grow thread: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10W-20W-30W-50W-Blue-554nm-Red-660nm-Hydroponic-Plant-Flood-LED-Grow-Lights-/251248529710?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3a7f94512e A bit expensive, but it's perfect for Red supplementation in...

That's not an LED. :-( That's an electret headphone driver made by Sony from the 70's. However! If you go on eBay and search for "LED flood light" or "LED xx0W" (10W, 20W, 30W, 50W, 100W, for example) you can find multichip LED's which actually have chips packed that closely! If you check my...

Pretty cool, I just found this and had to post it somewhere. http://www.ebay.com/itm/10W-20W-30W-50W-Blue-554nm-Red-660nm-Hydroponic-Plant-Flood-LED-Grow-Lights-/251248529710?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3a7f94512e Typo in the auction title, it says lower in the description 445nm Blue...

Hey, thanks for the interest. Tbh, though, the film has to be stapeled inside a frame that I built which fits over the box and it'd be hard to heat the film up with a hot plate, or something of that nature. Also, I'm afraid the plastic would stick. With hot air you see the film start to sag...

Chiesel: Nitrogen toxicity has affected two tiers. Obviously it's progressed on the tier you saw in the previous photo, and the tier after has tip curl and discoloration at the edges, but it looks to be clearing up. She looks relatively healthy otherwise, imo. Side branches getting close to...

Flush that Cheese. Looks like a bit much of something, not sure what, but it definitely looks to be stunting your growth a bit. If you can, buy a gallon or so of distilled water from the super market, bring her to the bath tub, and just slowly let the soil drain that all away. She should hop...

It depends on the temps in your grow space. If you're going to get huge swings where it's too warm during the day and too cold at night then obviously you'd want stagger the lights' on/off times between the two rooms. Make sure both rooms are extremely light tight, however, 'cause you really...

Holy schmokes, that Master Kush looks BIG and HEALTHY. Looks awesome so far.

Check digi-key, they have a lot of options. Rapidled.com also has some nice stuff. You don't need 60-90 degree viewing angles or secondary optics to get penetration, imo, you can simply throw lots of Watts per square inch at your plants (Cree XM-L2, various Philips Rebel's or OSLON's, multichip...

Eh, I'm thinking maybe a bit of over N fert. The leaves are sort of taco'ing down, and that's a deeep shade of Green. That doesn't look 100% healthy to me. I'm not worried about it, though. If I was I woulda flushed the soil half a week ago. Even Kid has symptoms, I'd say. Not worth the hassle...

Been a while since I updated. I wanted to give Kid a chance to recoup from all the trimming I did. I was going to LST him, but decided to just chop the top 6" or so. It's looking alright. Not the healthiest, but tomatoes are swelling and I see healthy new growth. And the Chiesel. Looks like...

If it's cheap Chinese: WW is probably ~455nm with a Yellow phosphor, NW is probably ~445nm with Green phosphor, CW is probably ~455nm with Green phosphor. I'd use Cool White's as Blue, Warm Whites as Yellow, with Reds/Deep Reds providing primary ps action. I'm afraid you're going to outgrow the...

You don't need to add nutes really until the cotyledons die off, which should be right about now for you. That Master Kush would probably appreciate a pinch of whatever you've got. Is that an emergency blanket lining your walls? :p Nice touch. Whenever you get around to it, though, you might...
