What is the weather like where you live? Currently the highs here are low to mid 80s which keeps my garage at about 68-74 due to the fact that the house faces east and begins heating up at like 9AM. We typically have a few weeks each year where the outside temp will reach mid to upper 90s...

Haha, Im sure tanker has done his homework on this one. No one in their right mind would consider using that kind of wattage without taking into consideration what an adequate amount of ventilation will require both physically & financially. You must have a decent amount left over to dive...

DAY 5 Plant Stage: Seedling Light Cycle: 24/0 Lights: 175w 4200K Metal Halide, 3x26w 6500K CFLs. Medium: 3 Parts Sunshine Mix, 1 Part Pearlite. Ferts: None Strain: 8x Unknown Bagseed This is a very exciting update for me. A friend and I brainstormed the heat, vertical bulb, lack of...

6 out of 8, very exciting man!! I started with 8 and Im down to 7, but they are all growing so fast. About how far in did your first females start to show? KB

Well Ill let some people with more experience let you know whether or not to start flowering. However, from what Ive read, those pots look a bit small for those plants, and they say its bad to transplant too close to the 12/12 switch. So I would transplant those into some bigger pots asap...

Well as far as seedlings go, 2 plants per light is fine if the light is close. Once they get to be bigger and bushier you may want to consider throwin a couple more lights in there, but it can be done with what you have if your budget is pretty strict. Remember you will need siff lights for...

Sure thing man, Im excited to watch your grow. Its always great to subscribe to a thread that started very near your own. So are you not using rapid rooters? For some reaosn I thought I read that, but I have read so many damn posts recently my mind is somewhat clogged. Not to mention Ive...

Whats the story with Hash anyway? Ive read a few write ups on how to make it but I dont understand what all is used. I know the best has is made with trimmings and bud, but can you make decent hash out of just trimmings? Do you only use the clippings that are heavily covered in trichs? Does...

Plants look great man, I only have 1 suggestion. From what Ive read, its best not to use any kind of metal when doing LST. Ive seen people use metal and they had no problems, but that was generally done in grows that had no heat issues. I went to walmart and bought an 88 cent pack of...

OK, first off, I think you have plenty of light for vegging. In fact, if your temps are always above 80 I would just get rid of those 14w bulbs for now, you can make up the extra wattage once you start your 12/12 light cycle. Unless you have more than about 8 plants the 4 27w lights will...

Hey guys Thanks alot for the nice comments!! Im glad I have inspired some people. As far as wiring MH and HPS lights goes, I will NEVER buy a pre wired light again unless its just super cheap. HPS is a bit more tricky as there is an additional component or 2, but with MH its just the ballast...

Thats awesome man, grats on lady #4. Named her yet?

Haha you crazy ghetto moonshine SOB. Growing dank buds just isnt enough for ya eh> Haha jk man that sounds very interesting, a couple buddies of mine will be very interested to hear about this lol.

Hey man I checked your thread out, lookin good so far! I actually counted "Day 1" as the first day that a plant broke through the soil, so really you are right on schedule as far as I can see. Heat issues will be a problem for sure, I may cut the lighting back or something I dont quite know...

Hey man whats up Everything is looking good Im curious to follow this post to learn more about hydroponics. I know once you get everything down a hydroponic setup requires half the maintenance that a soil based setup does. As far as my plants being bigger, my "Day 1" was the day the first...

DAY 3 Plant Stage: Seedling Light Cycle: Last day of 24/0, 18/6 Starts Tomorrow Lights: 175w 4200K Metal Halide, 4x26w 6500K CFLs, 2x23w 5550K CFLs Medium: 3 Parts Sunshine Mix, 1 Part Pearlite. Ferts: None OK, so the last couple days have been pretty exciting for me. The main reason being...

Haha, that is awesome man. Thanks for taking some pics for me :) You can actually kinda see th epistils in the first pic, and they definately look like females from the overhead pics too!! Your plants look freaking GORGEOUS!! I love how dark green the leaves are on Beatrix!! 7 out of 8 of my...

OK sorry I didnt get around to taking any pics I had company over pretty late and I didn't get much done in the garage. One very exciting thing I got done though was I successfully taught myself how to wire up a HPS bulb, ballast, ignitor, socket & capacitor to a stripped extension cord. I...

Well if youre camera has a macro mode use it with no zoom. Otherwise get a magnifying glass if u hve one and use no zoom. Zoom is your enemy when its a digital zoom, optical zoom is the only way to get good clear pics. If none of the above methods are available just get the camera as close to...

WOOHOO! Im excited for you man! Lets see some pics of those sexy little pistils :) KB
