    Sharing a moment, Made another CFL reflector

    Lol, inspired me to get off my arse and actually put together the materials that I bought to do one myself. As far as the metal goes, check out aluminum 'roll flashing' at the big box store - it's common in widths to 24" and you can buy it by the foot or by the entire roll (50' IIRC). This one's...

    first grow light question

    I doubt it. What you want to do sounds similar to what I've got, except that my room is 4X8 and it's a 1kW MH rather than HPS. I've just got my mum in there bushing out again after taking a bunch of clones so the 1000W MH is overkill, but it does keep the room at about 66 just before the lights...

    Too Rolling Stoned Coffee Shop

    2RS - too bad you couldn't take smoke with you. Opening a freshly cured jar tomorrow - I'll pack an extra bowl in your name. But only because I'm all about supporting the community ;) BTW, thx for turning me onto Joe Bonamassa. Good stuff ! http://youtu.be/_Aud7AwGGb4

    newbie to all this

    Hey, I read way more than I post: there are some very experienced growers on here who share generously. Your timing is probably perfect because you can read and read and read some more and be ready in time for spring. Any question you can think of is in here somewhere. This board was priceless...

    Too Rolling Stoned Coffee Shop

    Thx for starting up this thread, though I figured the title had something to do with the same thing as my username. Been on a few turns around the sun myself and I haven't learned much except not to get bent up about sh*t other people say or do...it ain't worth it. No drama is just the right...

    Help, is there something called shemale plants?

    If it's a herm (pic 3)...has the plant been stressed ? That's the only time it's happened to me from a plant I knew was female.

    Oh shit rf interference cable shit!!!

    Not trying to be a dick here, but is quote copy-pasted or did you type it out ? I'm no grammar/spelling nazi by any stretch, especially not to someone who takes the time to share their thoughts and experience, but if that came from ipower, it's awful.

    stealthy enough grow closet?

    Just a thought, but since you've started buying the gear anyway why not grow something like a tomato plant ? It will be a crash course in the basics of balancing nutes, light, and water on something that doesn't cost anything when you mess it up. Lycopersicon esculentum grows really well to...

    Deficiency or ?

    That one leaf might look dark but it's probably because I scanned it rather than taking a pic - the rest look pretty normal, sort of a medium green. Seems to be improving since I moved the light up and flushed 'em, so we'll see. You know, I picked that for an av because, even after watching it...

    Deficiency or ?

    First off, here's a pic. I scanned an affected leaf because the res is a little better than my phone (and no EXIF data...) It's only on the older fan leaves and only near the bottom. Eventually they curl along their length, dry to crispy starting at the tips and die. It looks like rust spots...

    For My First Grow (Micro) - 1 Seed or 2?

    I would think that you could get away with 3 or 4 plants since you're training them to the space. You'll want to start more seeds to allow for culling the males and weaklings though, no ?

    Can I grow with this?

    ^^what ink said. Mine all came as a single unit: 1000W bulb, ballast and shade all-in-one wired with a 110V 15A plug ready to go. Not only that, but I bought it used off craigslist for $75 - keep yer eyes open. I've just used flouro, but this was a deal I couldn't pass up. A 940W HPS bulb that...

    Can I grow with this?

    Yup, it'll work fine. Bend the plant over and stake it down to train it to grow in a line following the tube, and get the light as close as possible to the leaves. You'll get a leggy plant and small buds, but it'll do the job. If/when you can, used building supply (Habitat Store, etc) are a...

    Reputable breeders

    While not a breeder, my first order with Vancouver Seed Bank/North Country went really well. I'll buy from them again.

    north country seeds? sister site to vancouver seeds?

    I just ordered from them. I got a single seed pack as a test because of the negative review on here. When you order from Vancouver Seed Bank with a credit card, you are actually ordering from 'North Country.' I ordered on Thursday night, got a shipping confirmation and tracking number on...

    vsb, vancouver seed bank, vancouverseedbank.ca.... bad reviews...

    I just ordered from them. My order got swiped in transit but that wasn't their fault. I would buy from them again, but I'll do it at the storefront next time I'm in Vancouver. They have offered to reship my order at no cost, which is definitely above and beyond the call of duty! Certainly no...

    spider mites destroying my seedling

    I used insecticidal soap a couple times a week till they were gone. I tried neem first but the soap worked better. I nuked the space with bleach between grows but they were back, so I'm not growing there anymore. Food for thought.

    Survival kit -- What would be in yours?

    Hehe...I'm gonna go in a slightly different direction here, but... For the last few years, I've been learning about wild edibles. I've been reading the journals of explorers to this area and biographies of native life to figure out how they did stuff. I try and do one meal a week 'au natural'...

    What Have You Been Smoking Out Lately?

    Hehe, I thought about posting a comment to that effect in his album somewhere he'd see it....but decided against it. 8 posts and his last activity here was Sept - he's gone. And yeah, he's earned a beer or two by now...

    What Have You Been Smoking Out Lately?

    Umm....dude's in the closet for sure but I doubt he's tending to his plants.... Anytime someone whines about catching sh*t after telling someone about about their grow, I'm just gonna to link them back to this thread ! 5-0's got the guy, his friends, his plate, hell - his address is probably in...
