Your best bet is to use the search function because everyone has different methods. Some people will use it during both veg and flower. Most will use it during flower. Some use it during the flush period (last 2 weeks of flower or so). Personally, I've been using 1 tablespoon per gallon of water...
Go with the biggest light your setup can handle right from the start. I went with a 400w. Downsizing to a 250w due to my living conditions next year though.
This technique is awesome. Thanks M Blaze. I have been practicing on some bag seeds that I am only using for experimentation. I fim'd when my plant was 6-8" or less and ended up getting 4 new potential bud sites. I just fim'd a bigger plant that is about 1 foot tall, but I believe I did it...
If you are having problems, use the feeding chart for reference. But always start at 1/4 the recommended dosage and work your way up. That's what I have been doing. Plants a little deficient now because I had to leave them for a week and they are also getting close to the end of their life cycle.
I have made my decision after talking to a few people in live chat. Using 2 separate lights means you will have more heat than using just 1 light. A 150w hps can grow decent plants, but it seems that most people use secondary lighting like CFL's alongside their 150 watters. Therefore, I'm going...
I have a 3 x 3 x 6 secret jardin tent with a 4" air coolable reflector. The tent itself has two ports for reflector cooling on either side of the tent. I use a 6" 435cm fan (sitting outside of the tent) to pull the ambient air from the outside of one side of the tent via ducting, through the...
Unfortunately I have to downgrade from my 3x3x6 secret jardin tent with a 400w mh/hps to a homebox xs tent that is 1.9x1.9x3.9. I am having trouble deciding which light system to purchase with my homebox tent. Here are my thoughts:
-I will not be using any light higher than 250w because I...
I'm using a 400w mh/hps in a secret jardin tent that is 3 x 3 x 6. I have a 6" 435cfm fan pulling the heat out of my air coolable reflector. Haven't needed to use my 4" fan with a carbon filter for smell/exhaust and I'm 9 weeks into flower, but the smell ain't bad.
You got 2-3 weeks left. Don't harvest now. Wait till your hairs turn brown or red and start to recede into the bud. The alternative is to go buy a scope from radioshack to check the trichs.
Hey I'm currently on my second autoflower grow (my second grow ever) with some Short Stuff Russian Rocket Fuels. They are in Fox Farm Happy Frog soil with added perlite to improve the drainage. I used Fox Farm Ocean Forest for my first grow and didn't need nutes for about 3-4 weeks from sprout...
If you do decide to go with an ozone generator, just make sure you can vent it into an attic or outside of the grow room. You probably will want to run it on a timer as well. I was strongly considering buying an ozone generator, but I want with a carbonaire 4" carbon filter.
I usually start at around 28 inches with my 400w MH and then gradually move it down to around 10-12 inches or lower.
My reflector is air-coolable so I have a 6" 435cfm fan pulling the hot air out. I can probably get my light down to about 6-8 inches no problem.
You need not to worry about 1 600w light. Your electric company won't give a damn. They are making money off of you. As for the police, they have better things to do than bust a personal grower. They want traffickers. It can also depend on where you live. Small towns typically have less to deal...
