Are you asking if you can use the stuff pictured to distribute timed and nontimed power to your grow? If so, then yes, and a 220 outlet should be plenty to supply your light and fans. Assuming you're in a US home, inside your 220 outlet will be two live 120 volt wires, a white neutral wire...

No, I don't think it would work well for growing.

Although your 1000 watts on 220 volts result in just around five amps, which isn't too much on a 20 or 15 amp circuit, I still think you should get a good, solid timer instead of the cheapest kind that would work. Inductive loads like ballasts are harder on a timer's contacts than resistive...

One difference between metal halide and hps bulbs is that the lumen output of a metal halide decreases much faster than an hps does, but even a metal halide bulb should be good for like 5000 hours. An hps bulb maintains its output better, and doesn't change too much over its lifetime which...

It's pretty unusual to have a forty amp breaker serving a bathroom, (at least in the US); 15 and 20 amp circuits are the norm for outlet and lighting circuits. The fact that it's a forty amp breaker means that it probably serves something other than just the bathroom, like a water heater or...

A good grow light produces a maximum of light and a minimum of heat, but that lamp is designed to do the opposite. Even though red color might be helpful to your plant, that light will produce way too much heats, so instead of using it for your grow you might consider getting another snake.

Well according to a theory I read about, the effect of cannabanoids is to disable the mental filters we normally need to achieve mental focus. See, normal people walking around are exposed to a tremendous amount of random thoughts and sensory data, (the bird flying overhead, the ants on the...

Bicycling, talking with friends, watching movies...but not reading so much; when high it's hard to remember the previous paragraph, and I lose focus. Though once in a while I can really get in the reading zone while high. Maybe there's a strain of weed or some fortuitous brain chemistry that...

Hey Tical, I don't think either Paul or Rand are anarchists who reject the concept of government. Rand thought that people are their best, happiest, most productive selves when their motivation is their own self interests and the government's main job should be to protect property rights. I...

Funny you mention t'planting from peat pellets to hempy buckets, because that's just what my spinster aunt Lilly does. She allows the roots to just begin poking out of the pellet and then buries the pellet in the hempy medium, almost all the way down but leaving the sprout just a little higher...

Both the hortilux and Lowes bulbs are HID bulbs, and while this is just my opinion, I don't think there's too much difference between them other than the price. Bulbs special-made for growing supposedly emit a better energy spectrum for plants, but regular old $14.00 hps lamps, (@ your local...

I don't think you should worry about the heat from just one 600 watt light. It's strange but true that your six hundred watt HID light system will produce no more heat than a six hundred watt induction heater, refrigerator, radio, or any other electrical device that consumes six hundred watts...

Jiffy pellets: the ones that come as disks that you soak in water? I use them for cloning, and they work good. Before inserting the clone I roll the hydrated pellet around between my hands to compress it a little and to close that big hole that comes premade in the top. Good luck!

Is there any degradation or loss of vigor suffered by a plant produced from successive clonings of the same genetic material? That is, a clone having grown and then cloned, and that clone having grown and been cloned, and so on? Is there a limit on how genetically old a plant can get?

Thanks, I look forward to check out your Goin Loco. Wouldn't controlling bud height through topping be a useful trick for keeping all the buds on the same level, like in a scrog grow? I grow scrog and find that, even if all the flowers start at the same level, some grow much taller than...

I have a scrog grow going now, and it's almost finished. When I began it, I wasn't sure which branches to tie to which parts of the screen. But at the end of the grow I think I can see that it was the terminal ends of the main branches that grew longest, and the laterals coming off those main...

I have a plant in late flower in a booth, and it's leaves are dense enough to almost completely block light from below, leaving the plant pot and booth floor almost in darkness. There are popcorn buds growing even down there, and though they aren't as dense as those in the light, and though...

Is the root's normal path of egress through the bottom of the cube blocked by some impenetrable barrier?

A marvelously succinct response, but not the one I hoped for. I like those knobby flowering mushroom fists, and I want more of them. Can't you just pinch a developing flower's tip to make it branch just like you do on a vegging plant? Come oonnnn!:dunce:

Is it common, during late flowering, for cannabis flowers to slow their upward growth and instead branch out laterally? Is there some way to encourage this? (Because I like it).
