    hid lights

    What type of fan and how many CFM? How many watt bulb? I cool my 600w with one of those cheap inline booster fans for $30 (240CFM) and the hoods are cool to the touch.

    HPS advice

    Ditch the Ultra Sun bulb.....it's their $29 bulb that's good for one grow. I have the same ballast.....works fine.

    upgrade to 1000watt hps

    Sigh.....I am no expert on lights, but have read enough from those that I consider pretty smart in the light department. It's my opinion that your focus on a ton of wattage is mislead....especially in the confines of the area you have to work with. I actually did the metric conversion and...

    what's happening at attitude seed bank?!

    Considering how much money they're losing every day they cannot accept credit cards, I'm sure they are killing themselves to rectify this issue.

    Has Anyone Ever Produced A 6-8 Ounce Plant (DRY) Indoors.

    I'm not sure what "GC" is. I'm on various grow sites.

    Lil Roach builds a flower room

    I put the ceiling/roof on the room. It's so nice to have things come out as I plan. According to the roof, the room is perfectly square! I think this is a first for me! I didn't get the door yet....there was 60 mph winds that day and there's no way I was going to attempt to carry it alone...

    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    Yes, it'll add about 10-14 days of veg time. You just have to adjust your timing to allow for it.....any topping in veg will add time though.

    Little help for first time grow?

    I personally wouldn't put more than one plant in that space....and I'm a guy that packs in plants into small places. You have a few options.....A 150w HID would be good, but depending on your ventilation could make things a bit too warm. I don't know enough about LED's to speak with expertise...

    upgrade to 1000watt hps

    When I read his post my first thought was 400w but then got thinking about it and recommended the T5's. I think there'd be a trade off yield wise as you could grow your plants taller under a T5 vs. HID just because a T5 fixture takes up less vertical space than a HID fixture. That and the...

    Ventilating a 5 x 5 x 7.5 grow tent

    I use that same inline booster fan and cool a 600w fixture with ease. Keep in mind that it's not a quiet fan and found using insulated ducting helped the noise greatly. I'm building another flower room and using the same fan for the same set-up and am adding a fan controller to help with the...

    Has Anyone Ever Produced A 6-8 Ounce Plant (DRY) Indoors.

    I grow under a 600w HPS and a 400w MH on a light-mover in a 4'x6' room. As someone else pointed out, you need the right strains (most likely a indica-dom) to put on the poundage. With the right strain, I would average 4-6 ounce plants that vegged about six weeks. My biggest was 7.75 ounces...

    upgrade to 1000watt hps

    So....to answer your question.....and I'm doing a Monday morning metric to standard conversion from my head, 1.2 meters is around 4.5'. It's my opinion that 1000 watts is WAAAAAY of an over-kill and will most likely do your plants more harm than good. Since you're looking at only 4.5'-5' in...

    questions about monstercropping?

    It takes about 4-5 weeks to reveg a flowering clone. Even after a good veg the plant will end up only being 3/5's of the original plant. I feel monster cropping is best just to get clones from the original monster-cropped clone. If you're doing this to save a strain you can't get again, then...

    Looking for a good beginner indica strain

    Kannabia Seeds has a really nice indica-dom called Mataro Blue. It's a relatively fast flowering plant (8-9 weeks) and is a great yielder of above average weed. Easy to grow too. My journal link has documented grows of MB.

    How much longer?

    I don't flush and never had someone say "I can taste the nitrogen" when smoking my weed. What does nitrogen taste like anyway?

    Topping / pruning

    Look for Uncle Ben's topping technique.....or the mainlining thread. Both will give you maximum yield.

    Lil Roach builds a flower room

    The whole thing about building something in bit's and piece's is that tolerances can make or break a project when putting these pieces together. Considering that I abide to "measure once, cut twice, throw away the board and try again" ideology (I always buy extra wood because of this), and my...

    Lil Roach builds a flower room

    The sections to the three walls are completed. I'll be joining the left and left-back wall together to form a corner, and then do the same for the right side. I'll then put the two halves together. The front wall will be built one cut at a time once I get the door.

    Lil Roach builds a flower room

    My late father loved to do woodworking....and probably was one of the things he missed most once his Parkinson's kicked in. After his passing I inherited some of his tools, and it's a rarity that I have had a chance to use them. During this project I found his wood clamps to be of great use...
