Most definately what fefi says. Too much light and too much nutes. Depending on the age of the plants. If i was running 5g buckets you could easily do 16 with room to walk in your room under a 1000w hps lamp. Switch to cfls for the first week til the roots hit the water then hit em with the...

Can anyone give me any idea for a supplement to my blooming fertilizer? I use GH 3 part nutes. I see from time to time that there are people who use things to supplemet the fertilizer when the plants are flowering. Any ideas and suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanx in advance.

what about hair tests anyone have anything for passing one of those. I have stopped smoking for almost a month but i heard they can go back a long long way with the hair.

If you want to clone from flower, take your clones as soon as they start to show sex not half way thru. Some strains (like big bud for example) are hard to clone once they get into full swing flowering. Dont take any chances. On my first set of plants i always clone from flower in stead of...

if the new growth is on the bottom of the plants than harvest the tops and let the bottoms continue to flower . I did have that happen to me a couple of times when i didn't trim the bottoms after i topped them. The top was ready to harvest but the bottoms were barely ready so instead of...

Children, children. Y'all need to chill out and bring the discussion back to where it is supposed to be. Check this out. I am doing an experiment right along these lines right now. I am in the process of building 2x2.5 ft boxes (4ea) which will each hold 10 hydro clones going 4 box SOG style...

kivalovski u are right and wrong at the same time. 2 600w would only double the intensity where the light overlaps. In the further out places you would still only get the 90k lmns. Still I say Par minimums is what we should be striving for. Lumens are for humans Par is for plants

This is a very good post but i think there should be a little more stated about PAR lighting. I have done some investigation and have concluded that you need about 85 par watts /sq. meter. That is optimum for 1 sq. meter which is approx. 10.75 sq/ft. A 400 w HPS gives off about 128 -130 par...

when n doubt, let it out. thats what i always say. also dude, go to home depot nad get a bath fan. very easy to hook up and the little ones are like 13.00. if it is too loud i could tell ya how to insulate it for an xtra 10.00 spent. caio!

yeah dude, the sun puts out 10k lumens/ft sq. in that 2x2 room with a normal 400w hps you would be putting out over 12k lumens / ft. sq. ur plants are going to grow like crazy and ur heat is goingto be in the 100's. also i didnt notice if u were using soil. u are going to have to water quite a...

You should be o.k. dude. I try to strive at a minimum for 3k lumens per sq/ft. I've never gone under it no matter what type of light I used but I've also never used t-5s. they seem kinda expensive for the output that you get. Supposedly they put out less heat but the big cfls can put out...

if all be the same and u can afford the wattage go with the bigger light dude :)

You will always require ventilation and fans. Air has to circulate in a marijuana eco system. You can easily grow 2 plants in this setup. Make sure u flower at no higher than 8 inches or they will out grow the box.

If your box is 36 inches you should start flowering at 7-8 inches. If your growing in soil u should have no problem staying within the box. If u go hydro I would top then first.

Dude depending on what ur going for I would go SoG. U can take a normal 10 x 12 bedroom. build out the boxes ( 4 each at 3 x 3 x 5' high) put 400 watt hps 's in them put the moms in the closet and use only 2000 watts max and that includes lights for moms and clones. ure not going to catch a...

One thing no one has mentioned yet. You are using small reservoirs. I never use less than 10 gal rez's because the Ph use to fluctuate widly like yours. As the plants drink especially if they have some size to them u will be ph ing every day because the smaler volume of water. Here is what I...

Huge is correct. I usually keep mine right at the bottom of the net pots, mostly because the more water you have the easier it is to keep ur Ph balanced. U can let the plants drink but don't let it go to far or u will be Ph'n em a lot.

quick question. I was thinking of switching from GH to Big Bud for flowering. Has anyone done a comparison with it. In other words were u guys using something else before u switced to BB or have u always grown with it?

yeah like mixin sad no nutes til roots. I like general hydro. been using it for 2 years. over time when u feel comfortable u can tweak the nutes and use some additives and such. just be careful. I had a completely seperate tank for my experiments some died some did very well and helped me...

Dude using gh 3 part its all on the label. I think ur concern is in the wrong avenue. If ur veggin thatn after all 3 nutes are mixed I keep it as follows. clones i dont use nutes maybe a root builder and distilled h20 transplant after 2 weeks and i mix the 3 part to 150 ppm after that i...
