    A Bored Electrician to Answer Your Questions

    IAm5toned, I hope you can help me. I recently purchased 2, 250 watt Magnetek 5-Lead S50 ballasts from a private seller. Problem is, they aren't 5-Lead, they're 480VAC. I tried to get ahold of the seller afterwards, but with no response, so I'm stuck with them. So my questions: 1) Can I replace...

    I need some help... Got scammed.

    I recently purchased 2, 250w 5-lead HPS ballasts, http://www.unvlt.com/productLines/ap_sheets/HID/P250ML5AC4M.pdf, from a private seller, new in box. The problem is, they aren't 5-leads, they're 480V, http://www.unvlt.com/productLines/ap_sheets/HID/P25048TAC4M.pdf!!! Once they showed up, I...

    Puzzled on Flushing

    I've heard this too, but I can't stand nute flavored bud. How do people overcome this (outside of water curing), or do they just not care in favor of uninterrupted growth? In most circumstances, would one week of flushing, with a possibility of two weeks depending on strain, be sufficient to...

    Puzzled on Flushing

    For such a short flush time, would you recommend a flushing solution like FinalFlush or another similar product?

    Puzzled on Flushing

    I meant almost 6 weeks after first signs of flowering during 12/12(preflower). Here's a pic from yesterday. Hydroponic side. Soil side. This side also has an additional two 40 watt actinic bulbs for added blue and UV. Definitely more trichomes. This side also started flowering about two...

    Puzzled on Flushing

    I have a question about flushing. All of the strains I am growing are 8, 8-9, or9 weeks strains (Permafrost, WW/AK-47 Jewel, White Rhino, OG Kush, and Nepal Hash). Tueday, the 19th, will be the start of week 6 preflower. I want to flush at that point to get a full two weeks of flushing, but...

    Thought I'd post an update, 37 days into preflower. Permafrost. OG Kush White Rhino in foreground and background, Purple Nepal Hash in the middle. I've started noticing some small amounts of what I guess is powdery mildew(looks like blotches of powder on fan leaves). This...

    Here's a couple pics from today. Crappy cell phone pics though. White Rhino and Purple Nepal Hash Permafrost, White Russian, and OG Kush. Burnt a couple leaves, no bud damage though.

    Correction: They were 25 days into 12/12 and 11 days into flower, on the 18th. Not too bad I guess.

    Day 25 in Bloom using MH: A few bud shots from last night, right after the lights turned off. White Rhino Permafrost (these are buds farthest from the light) Purple Nepal Hash (next two pics) Enjoy.

    Very nice! I got the PF as two well started soil clones. One was small enough that I transplanted it into the hydro. It has be far been the hardiest plant I've seen yet. Had a few pest and humidity problems when I first took over this grow, and the PF were the only ones unaffected...

    Thought I'd post an update. I've been following the Lucas Formula w/ GH. Potted plant side: Front to back, left to right. Permafrost, White Rhino, Purple Nepal Hash, White Rhino Hydroponic plant side: Front to back, left to right. Permafrost, White Russian, OG Kush, Permafrost...

    My spining plant

    It may not grow as well with this bulb(the rotation is probably saving the plant from burning) but there is no way a 100 watt halogen is more of a fire risk then any 150+ watt HID. As long as you continue to use that bulb, keep spinning your plant. If possible you might try to get it to spin...

    Can this be healed ?

    I'm no veteran, but that's not good. I may be wrong, but personally, I'd support it upright, apply some rooting hormone just abovethe area, and add more substrate to keep it moist.

    No recommended cycling method for small continuous grows? Here are some pics. Note how the biggest are quite bushy. I had to cut out alot of decaying growth when I first took over, making them branchy. Some of them have over 15 dominate tops. The clones I've started will hopefully produce 3...

    Hello everyone. New to the boards. I'm kind of in an odd situation. I have a friend who received his green card mid-summer. Due to mobility problems he can't grow himself. His sister had started a "system" for growing for him, but the plants suffered. A month ago I showed him some polaroids...
