Thanks - yeah, I figured 6 to 8. But if you asked me to explain why, I couldn't tell you. Just a semi-educated guess, I guess. What about the fan? What sort of calculations would you need to make to determine the fan size? My guess is that theoretically, you shouldn't need any more powerful a...

I never used them before, but wanted one of their strains for an indoor grow this winter. I ordered 50 Albino Rhino seeds from them in early November, and it took about 2 weeks for them to arrive in the United States. Germed them on 11/20, and had 100% germination rate within 48 hours. Put 'em...

I never did this, and if I take more than 30 seconds to think it through I'll probably realize that the math just doesn't work... but if the configuration of your grow space was such that you had no choice but to mount the twin 600s side by side instead of end to end, how practical would it be...

Oh, that's a nice looking little fan. Do you use it? I'm wondering how much area it would cover, because it just seems a little small. But I like the option of being able to clip it in so many different places in the grow area. Looks like it give you a lot of latitude. I agree about the...

First thing I thought, too. I don't think it's the HPS light, because the color gradient changes from the inner portions of some of the leaves to the outer edges.

I get a mental image of that dorky guy in "Office Space..." I picture myself wandering around saying, "I was told there would be potatoes.... I was told there would be potatoes...." And a big reason they're not healthy is because too many people assault their plants with whatever bizarre...

Damn, that's a beautiful system you have there. Outstanding engineering. If I ever did that, my wife would be flip-flopping between falling in love with me all over again for my genius and wanting to murder me for what I did to the house. I actually think I solved the problem an hour after I...

Another modification that I would suggest for those tents is to reinforce the top poles. Most of them come with 5/8" hollow stainless steel poles for the top braces, but by the time you're done hanging lights and fans and filters and Christmas ornaments or whatever, those poles are flexing...

I know this is an old thread, but some people have asked how to apply this principle to rockwool. It can actually be very easily done. What you do is take a rockwool cube the same width as the one your plants are growing in, and cut off a 1 or 2 inch section of it. Then make a vertical slice...

One way to give yourself an extra foot and a half or so is to build a small platform with plywood and 2x4s, put the tent on the platform, and put the reservoir outside the tent. That lets you put your tray right on the floor of the tent, and that extra headspace can really come in handy if they...

The best advice I can give is to do your research thoroughly, but don't overthink things. Don't ever forget - it's a weed! It grows in ditches. A lot of people make it a hell of a lot harder than it has to be. As you get better at it, there'll be a lot of new things you're going to want to try...

Well, it's your first grow in a while, with a new strain and some changes to your technique. You gotta expect it to take a little while to dial in. It looks like you're going to get some decent poundage there, and your next time around should be a lot better.

How many weeks do you think a grow shop would stay in business if they turned their customers in to the police? What possible reason do they have? And as for police staking out a grow shop... unless someone was dumb enough to open a grow shop across the street from a Dunkin Donuts, cops don't...

For all the Big Island growers who are worried about mold, just plant 'em down at South Point. Every time the rains stop, the wind'll blow the buds dry in in 5 minutes.

That's the whole problem right there. Jesus, if you're going to go to all the trouble to design and manufacture the damned things, just give us an extra foot or so, will ya? What are they thinking? It's a fantastic product idea except for that one very serious limitation, one that makes it...

Hi, guys. I'm setting up a new grow area. The design is something that's totally new to me, and I've been kicking it around and dreaming about it/refining it for several years. I won't get into a lot of details on that now, because I don't want to complicate the thread. The basic design is a...

I've got 30-some seedlings that should be in the ground right now, but I'm having a terrible time getting the roots to develop enough to put them out on their own. I have about a dozen white widow, about a dozen purple kush, and about another dozen G13-haze hybrid. I've grown all these strains...

No kidding. That's way too close. Keep in mind, you're not just going to stick some seeds in the ground in May and then come back and cut 'em down in October. You're going to need to spend time working with your plants; checking them for insects, fertilizing them, maybe watering them, checking...

Yes. Grow there. Pick a relatively high spot, like on the edge of the marshy area or on an island or hummock. You want your plants above the water line, but close enough to it that the roots can easily get down to the water table. With a little luck, you won't have to water all year, which makes...

I think the bigger danger from LEO browsing the site is not that they're looking for specific people to bust, but that they're learning about how growers do what they do. Every thread that asks about ways to hide grows, or cover odors, or whatever educates the police as much as it does other...
