There's a couple different kinds of ph kits. One is for testing soil, it's cheap at any nursery like $5. It comes with little capsules and it'll get u a good idea of what the ph of the soil is. The other kit, is like $15 from general hydroponics, and i got mine at the local hydro store. It is...
I'm talkin actual temps at plant level. U want it between 70-80. 76 is optimal, and anything over 85 is generally hurtin ur plant. To find the perfect distance, use the thermometer, or just do like ur doin. U'll find that sweet spot :peace:
Looks like a good ole ghetto grow, nice man. The fan will really help the stem fatten up nice. Here's a couple things ur gonna need in case u don't already got em. 1. thermometer 2. ph test kit with ph up and down 3. as it gets bigger, u'll need more lights
I think it really depends on the type of light and ballast ur usin, and how u control the cooling. I use a 400w hps without an air cooled hood and it is about 18in away. U can use the 'hand' method to chec temps from the light, but the best way to know for sure is to get ur thermometer at the...
can't wait to start these!!! I'm on my 2nd grow, and so far, I think i got all the bugs worked out. I got plenty of light, temps between 75-80, ph everything, vntillation's great. Only prob is my humidity, super low even with a humidifyer! But I can deal with that.... wish me luck guys! :peace:
ok, so how long does it take for them to show sex during the veg cycle? I'm sure it varies, but generally how long? Also, sounds like i need to study up on early sexing of the plants cuz right now I wait for hairs and say yay! Wait for pods... no!!!
So how ur sayin just leave it like it was veggin the whole time til it's completely done? How long does it take for it to show the sex of the plant this way? I've already done switched my lights to 12/12 about a week ago, but I'm not against experimentin with it down the road :peace:
:?:Sorry if this is a noob ? but u can tell the sex without changing the light? How and when? I've thought about it before, and it does seem plausible just never tried it. Is it somethin to do with the lifespan of the plant? It just seems natural that a plant would mature on its own. Would like...
I'd say if ur plannin on growin it outside, then let be in the wind. It's get a nice strong stalk from it and lots of fresh air. Maybe take it in on the really windy days, but dont baby it too much :bigjoint:
