I built my grow into a 2'x8'x7' closet with a shelf 20" form the top extending the length. I first planned on using t5ho as the lighting for all areas. I got a small can filter and a 140cfm fan and cut a hole in the divider shelf at the top of the closet. Put in the fan and filter, and cleaned...

Since I am using my gallery here to host these pics, they have to be 600x600. I cropped out some chunks close to that at full resolution. These were taken with my other camera which I am having a hell of a time getting white balanced. TUKO Jack Herer B

More pics tomorrow. With a write up on my method and environment. We have trichomes. I will say I am impressed with the progress of tuko.

He never claimed to have "trimmed" in 90 minutes. If you mean manicured, he didn't claim that either. He stated it took that long to cut the dried buds into tupperwares. Just because some of you have not experienced these yield ratios, doesn't make it impossible. I admit it is suspicious I not...

I agree with the above post. I started out with only four 54w with my ballasts mounted remotely. Due to there not being a genuine flow through t5ho setup like a cooltube, the heat rises and must be dealt with. Unless height is a major concern, get an HID as you can more effctively vent heat away.

Ok, wow. Drop the 1000 watter. It is creating huge secondary problems. Too much heat, needs too much extraction, equals too big and expensive a carbon filter. Slow air is clean air, and you are probably rushing it past the carbon so fast, there is not sufficient time to clean it. Get a 400 or if...

if you are doing a changeover routine, use the MH the first 2 and the last 2 weeks.

It is three years and five months old. I smoked some stuff a few years back that smelled just like newborn shit after it cured. Luckily it didn't taste like it. Not that I have a real comparison to make on the test.

I do exactly this. There are numerous things to consider. How large of a house. Houw large and efficient of an a/c and heating system. How many cfm. How many lights. Basically this can be done for two reasons. In wattage:house size ratios where the total room wattage would not overwhelm the...

since I have no idea of the ingredients, my answer is no. Use distilled white vinegar from the grocery store to lower the pH of your nutrient solution. If your soil pH is REALLY 9, growth should be very stunted. If this isn't the case, your probe is crap. Most sub $200 soil probes are such...

ok, I'll try. pH scale reads 1-14. 1 is absolute acid, 14 absolute base. To lower the pH add an acid and to raise you add base. Vinegar and properly stored pH down are acids. Soda is a base. If your pH test shows otherwise, test your test. Either contamination is occuring, or your test is...

in pristine aquariums, animals are killed by stresses that in the wild would barely phase them. Don't overestimate genetic programming. Environmental concerns are big. If you raise a baby in a sterile environment, and one day open the doors, they will get all sorts of stress. Perhaps you raised...

after working in the aquaculture trade a few years I can attest to proper vs. faulty shielding. Using my uv meter, I see negligble UVB from all but the cheapest mh. Especially at over 18" from the bulb. Apparently manufacturers are hearing us as a few hid bulbs rich n UVB win some UVA are...

The sad truth is most quality mh bulbs have a glass shield made from a type of glass that filters almost all uv before it reaches the plants. A uv meter can confirm this. Cheaper bulbs shield poorly so if you want uv, don't get a hortilux. While I do believe uv plays an important role in...

I think 600w is pushing it. Look at my signature and those are a 400w in 2x4x6 so exactly the same. Use foylon or some other reflective material. This is crucial. And get a good reflector, one that orients the bulb perpendicular to the long side of the closet. You probably won't be able to have...

It is absolutely true. The further from the shoot tip the lower concentration of vegetative hormones. I always find smaller shoots from lower branches root the fastest. These often have tiny stems and are less vigorous once rooted. The extra few days of time saved rooting, doesn't compute to...

Again thank you. Everyone feel free to comment and ask questions.
