well then I loose my precious grow space :( not a route I want to follow

Alright here is what I am doing. I have a 4.5 foot tall 2.5 foot wide 2 foot deep stealth cabinet I am making. I am trying to add a fan in a shelf that is about 12 inches down from the top and blowing up. I also have attached a 4 inch vent in the back. Here is my problem. I don't know much...

I tried a box of baking soda with a few plants in my closet and it did almost no good at all. I could still smell it all over the apartment most of the time. What I have been reading is carbon filters work best. My current plants are only 3 1/2 weeks old, but so far the filter I put in front...

ok this is an awesome tutorial indeed and what's better is I have all this stuff from recently upgrading to a larer aquarium for my fish. All I need is the water bed heater (awesome inginuity there btw) and the No-Damp. I just have one question about the final stage where you plant the new...

ok I found a decent website with a chart listing rough color temps for light bulbs. http://greenhome.huddler.com/wiki/picking-color-temperature-for-your-light-bulbs hope it is helpful. P.S. still need to know about the light spectrum party bulbs will produce.

Ok I was at the hardware store for parts for an ongoing project and I ran across colored CFL party bulbs. They are basically CFL's with a high temp latex paint coating. Would buying red and blue bulbs do any good? I mean would that really simulate the color spectrum of grow lights, or is it...

Ok I have a few plants that are growing quite well but one is growing way faster than the rest. It is only a day or two older than the rest but has them beat by almost 2 inches and is way more lush and full. I am growing them all in the same soil and in 20 oz gatorade bottles that I put tape...

well thanks for the info guys, I will probably just wait on LEDs for now and stick with CFL's. They are easy to cool and they have been working great in a small cabinet with only 6 plants.

Ok I have been looking into LED grow lights they are very pricy to say the least and from what I hear the spectrums are not right. So I was at Menards today and saw they have LED light pucks with 25 LEDs per puck and 5 pucks in a pack for 49.95 and they all plug into one outlet and have an...

Awesome thanks for the info

Ok I am going to need to do some cloning soon and wondered exactly how I treat the mother. 1 Do I reveg it after I find out it is a female? 2 Do I keep the mother around indefinately and just keep taking clones from that one? Or do I select a new mother from the new cloned females? 3 My...

Ok I am not saying I am going to do it, but what would happen if I did? I mean my biggest plant is only about 4 or 5 inches tall and about the same in its leaf span and I planted the germinated seed on March 1st so it is not even 2 weeks old yet, but its growing very fast and very well so I...

the water is tap water about 7.1 ph and I let it sit at least 48 hours before use. The soil is miracle grow organic mix and my lights are 6 x 26 watt CFL's and 2 x 20 watt normal fluorescent lights, well indoor horticulture lights not normal but the old long tubes is what I mean.

Well here is the reason why. I already tried to grow these seeds in the same soil and they would come up grow 1 set of new leaves then stop growing or doing anything they also where not growing decent root systems. Once I began with nutes they started growing again but that was my first time...

I have 4 seedlings growing and doing quite well. I have been watering with a mild fertilizer (miracle grow water soluable tomotoe food) since they first came up both through the leaves and soil. Last night I had to move them from my grow cabinet to my closet, but i still had grow lights on...

So far they are doing well in vegatation mode I may add more later if needed. I already have a dual 20 watt fluorescent light fixture I can put in thier and another regular light socket I can add too. As far as painting the inside flat white That won't be so easy since it is made of plywood...

Ok well I looked into mylar and according to thier website Home Depot doesn't sell mylar of any kind. Any ideas what type of store I would be able to find it at? I am not really willing to order anything off the internet. Also I am using only CFL lights that I can hold in my hand all day...

Is there anything wrong with using foil as a reflective surface? I would rather not use mylar since one I thik it is probably allot more expensive and second I don't have any idea where to find it. Plus I hate walking into Home Depot and saying I need something cause they always ask me what I...

Thanks for the info, hopefully it turns out normal like the rest of its sibblings.

Well I see quite a few people have viewed this post but no replies so I can only assume no one has seen this happen before. The plant still looks good. it seemed to no be doing much at first but I looked again and saw today it had started on it's second tier of leaves which is a good sign so...
