How big is the room?

There is no point to taking buds early. In my opinion, there is no point to smoking them until they have been properly dried and cured for at least a week. If you take buds early, it is not going to be close to its full potential high, it will taste green and give you a headache, and you will...

I you love them, then you need to give them air. You wouldn't starve your children and then talk about how much you love them. Plants need air to live, the more the better. You have to exhaust the hot air out and pull fresh air in or your plants won't amount to anything, plus they'll get...

You need to bring lots of fresh air in. Plants live off fresh air.

An inline fan is a type of fan that you can use for your intake or exhaust, like that S&P. If you are using it to pull air in, you are using it as an intake, if you are using it to pull air out, you are using it as an exhaust. You don't exhaust the room through the lights. The duct holes in...

I agree with BUDS. The problem is you transplanted from a small 2 cup container to a big 3 gallon container. No way the roots can reach the water at the bottom of the pot, so the water just sits there until the roots can finally reach it. If you transplant to an intermediate container like a 1...

If you are asking about soil or coco, Foxfarm never gave me good results. Using House and Garden and following their feeding schedule did.

What is your ventilation like? How tall were your plants? How new was your bulb?

Don't just spray the top of the soil or the water won't reach down to the roots. Water them, with a pitcher or cup when the pot feels light like it doesn't have much moisture left in it. If your soil has nutrients in it, you don't even need to water for the first month. After that, you can...

Your nutes are only a small part of what will give you a great yield. If you have great lighting, ventilation, and watering, AN or almost any other major line of nutes will be fine. Even very experienced growers don't normally get 1 gram per watt.

2000 watts is not a lot in the 8x11 space but probably too much in the 8x4 space. Why would you build a room within a room when you can just use the whole room? Setup #1 doesn't have any intake. Letting in stale house air, or opening the windows a crack hoping some air makes its way to your...

Toss that cheapo fan and buy a quality fan. There is a reason people shell out triple or quadruple what Valuline costs. I have to touch my Elicent (I think they are called CFM too) to check if it's on.

I totally agree with Footclan. I switched from 600s to 1000s and kick myself for wasting my time with the 600s for so long. If you switch to 600s, expect your yield and bud size to drop significantly There is a lot of disagreement about how much electricity digital ballasts really save you...

How old is this plant? It looks like it might be getting too much of something, like water or nutes, unless it's just the picture.

Totally agree about what to buy used and what not. If you are just starting out and cash is short, finding some used = cheap equipment sure is helpful.

That hole is not an all purpose hole, exhausting stale air out and bringing fresh air in. Before you said you had a 7x4 room and we said a 400 was great. Now you have a 5x2 room, a 400 won't be so great unless you air cool the hood, exhaust the stale air, and bring in fresh air.

You just need to get a 8" to 6" reducer. No downside to exhausting into a larger duct at all, probably makes it quieter too. Can't say whether a 4" duct will get you enough air for a passive intake without knowing the dimensions of the room.

Lumatek is absolutely made in China, Quantum is made in China, etc. etc.

I had a setup almost exactly like that for my first grow with an opening in the ceiling to the attic. That opening is your ticket to great ventilation (plants love fresh air) and reducing heat (plants don't like excessive heat). You can do a lot better than a 150 and some CFLs. You can put a...

They're all made in China. I think the big name companies just slap their name onto the Chinese manufactured ballasts, and add a $100+ markup. Do a search for ballasts on alibaba. The only differences are the terms and reliability of the warranties.
