im thinking 3' is too small for any type of flowering. 6" minimun for the fixture/bulb and 8-12" for the container takes HALF of your total height. If the bulbs are literally touching the tops of the plants you get at BEST 18" tall plants. Plants will nearly triple their height from vegging thru...

is that a meat thermometer in a broom stick? haha i absolutely LOVE the simplicity of that room.... puts my OCD into overdrive

redneck engineering baby

BTW i got my flourex's today. Simple wire job or so i think. I got a lamp repair kit at walmart that has a plug on one end and 2 bare wires on the other. Wired only one for now. The casing on the light had perfect little raised nubs in the corners that i twisted cup hooks into for hanging. Next...

this might sound a bit odd, but i took a leftover 1-gallon water container, then filled it up and froze it in the freezer. I put it in my room each day, then back in the freezer each night till i got smart and started using 2 on rotation. I put it on a towel behind my circulation fan in the...

right now im trying to grow indoors with miracle gro indoor potting soil, and schultz liquid nute. I went straight from germ to 18oz party cups for 5 weeks as of tomorrow, 5 babies have been under approx 8000 total lumens of a flo/CFL mix. I only have a small area for a flowering room which i...

i wouldnt get the shoplights because of their length, but i would definetly go with CFL's for seedling/clone/ and vegging. I started w/ shoplights and regret wasting the money. (1) lamp, (1) y-splitter, and (2) 42W CFL's in a cool blue spectrum. Thats all the light you'll need for only 6 clones...

no offense but this isnt true about the cups. I go straight from germination to 18oz plastic party cups, 4 weeks veg under CFL's, then 3 gallon containers for flowering to the end. Never had a problem, but i wouldnt go any longer than 4 weeks MAX

he splits the tubes to unwrap them from the stems. Im wondering when its time to transplant do you pull the roots through the top or do you pull the plant down and through? Are there enough roots for this to be a problem in 7-14 days? Never cloned before but im getting ready to in about a week...

also by room i mean closet or box

thats what my redneck logic is telling me hahaha. Im sure this is only a small help in a very small room, but it has to be better than none at all. Is it better to do this during veg or flower or both?

keep in mind, a clone from a mother that is say 8 weeks old, will be genetically the same age. Once you take a clone and get it to take root (7-14 days), you can put it straight into flowering. If i understand correctly also, the THC content will be higher in the clone also.This may be what the...

im trying to grow short plants also. if you wanted taller plants or simply had the room. I think its recommended to wait until the plant is more like 6 weeks (sexual maturity) before switching to 12/12

Im certainly no electrician. Before i bought that light though i did a bit of research and kept coming across articles saying what i said before. One even went as far as making a blackout room and tested different lights with some sort of meter. I dont think it matters at this stage either way...

you can revert you plants from flower to veg if you want to make a mother for cloning. It will take a bit of intense light. i dont think a few cfl's will do it. Cfls will veg plants by themselves but you need more to revert the plant from flowering. Secondly it will stress the plant but it...

Garden KNowm is spot on.

are you talking about an incadescent bulb? if so then nutes are the least of your worries. Replicating sunlight indoors is by far the hardest part of the equation. Incadescent bulbs are among the absolute worst types of light to grow under. They are much better served supplying excess heat to...

its also very nice to see someone with a no-fuss setup as clean as yours. Your growroom pics should be Chapter 1, page 1, for all newbies like myself.

how many watts is that light? how big is that room you flowered in? did you flower 5 total plants? I ask in admiration

The moisture on you jiffy pots looks WAY better also
