    3rd Degree burns

    Honestly, there were so many questions I asked that could have been answered without a pic. Like, was it right to dial back on nutrients after the plants have been injured... Or will low humidity be a big issue. Or how to address the issue of humidity in a system where air is circulating so...

    3rd Degree burns

    Hey guys, My first grow with HPS bulbs. I totally underestimated the amount of space necessary between lights and plants. But my grow room pretty small and now I have to see it through before I can increase the ceiling height. Some of the leaf surface temps I was recording were around 96...

    Shorter days, longer nights ?

    Yes, sealed goods attached to extractor fan... they not very strong fans though so not cooling the bulbs off as efficiently as I would like... I am super cropping and using weights to bend them away from the bulb but it's still pretty hot and quite a mission doing it almost every day... but it...

    Shorter days, longer nights ?

    Hi guys, I'm about 3 weeks into flowering. Lights at 12/12, indoor DWC. 2 x 400 W HPS... Its spring here and temps gonna start rising soon so my lights are on from 6 PM to 6 AM. The space between my lights and plants is pretty limited and I am having a tough time keeping the ladies away from...

    How soon after pollan sacs open, does pollan disperse?

    Literally only two and upon closer inspection of the anther (once I had removed the male) the pollen wasnt like all powdery and loose. Seemed sort wet and compact still... Anyway, it's not my main grow and I'm not worried bout electricity. So I will see it through. I just wanted to hear what...

    How soon after pollan sacs open, does pollan disperse?

    Had some plants growing and was waiting to sex them. Left them unsupervised for two nights while away on a trip. When I got back now I saw one plant was a Male and had like two sacs that look like they had JUST opened. Do you guys think the females have been compromised already ?

    Struggling to force flowering

    Brother, I live in Africa. We dont have those fancy lights here. If we did they would cost an arm and a leg. I appreciate the help. I'll keep you posted

    Struggling to force flowering

    Yeah I hear you. It was just a far cheaper alternative than buying new lights... Corona times... For interest's sake, different colour light has different wave lengths and temp. The color temp is unique to that color light. You wouldn't find a blue light with a colour demo of 3000K for...

    Struggling to force flowering

    Used a foliar spray last week. It's supposed to increase potassium in the nodes. Never tried it before.

    Struggling to force flowering

    Thought that might raise an eyebrow. Well, red/yellow/orange light has a warmer colour temp than what's being emitted from the CFL (6500 Kelvin from the CFL). I.e better for flowering... So I figured if I change the color of the light hitting the plant by using a coloured filter then I will...

    The plants have been growing well and show no signs on deficiencies or excess nutrients. What more info could I share with you that may help you understand ?

    Struggling to force flowering

    Using CFLs. There are 8 x 105 W CFLs in a 32 square foot space. They are pumping out about 50 K lumens... I'm pretty sure it's enough light. When I switch them to flowering I installed a sheet of orange plexiglass ceiling in the room to change the like to a warmer colour. I'm taking pics now...

    Struggling to force flowering

    Hi everyone So, I started a grow a couple months ago. It's my first hydro grow and also first grow where I have had the lights running 24hrs a day during veg. Some of the plants developed pistils relatively early but some not at all and no sign of Male sex organs either. The plants are all...
