    32 Plants in soil, 3 Gal buckets, 1000w on light mover...too many plants?

    I have a 1000w on a 6 ft light mover with a four foot parabolic hood (vertical hanging bulb). I am growing in soil with 3 gal buckets. My quantity per plant seems to be hurting and some of my plants are growing very small buds. I am growing Recon, Deathstar, Black Domina, and Hindu Skunk...

    1000w hps magnetic ballast vs 600w hps digital ballast

    I currently have a 1000w hps with a magnetic ballast with a 4' light mover. The electric bill has been kind of high and I was considering switching to a 600w with a digital ballast on the same light mover. Do you think I will see a dramatic decrease in my harvest?

    Homemade pots stunted my plants. Can they be saved?

    I tried SOG for the very first time after much success with nice big plants. Because I was short on pots I used some 3 liter water bottles that had indentations for handles. Bad idea. The plants became root bound and stunted and by the time I realized the problem they were 50+ days into flower...

    Coco questions

    I am planning on putting a couple of plants into Coco Coir. I am currently growing in FF soil and using a combination of nutrients and supplements that pretty much cover all of my bases. From what I understand, the PH needs to be at a different level than regular soil. What would that PH range...

    Whats the best soil mix i can mix up for my first grow????

    Subcool's soil is the one, but he states that the best base soil you can buy is two parts ff ocean forest one part ff light warrior. It's an excellent mix that produced the DANK!! I also used Fox Farms nute line with a little bud candy and big bud.

    Sea of Green vs. big plants? Opinions?

    I don't know, I was hoping someone could tell me how many plants could fit under a 1000w with a 6' light mover and what kind of pots would be good to use. 60 plants, harvest 15 every 2 weeks? Could I fit more?

    Sea of Green vs. big plants? Opinions?

    I have a 1000w hps on a light mover with a 6' track. Would I get a greater yield using a sea of green technique with a bunch of small plants, or have larger plants? I have another 250w to keep mothers under and a cloning machine. I am growing in soil. Any opinions?

    Sea of green, or bigger fewer plants?

    I have a 1000w hps on a light mover with a 6' track. Would I get a greater yield using a sea of green technique with a bunch of small plants, or have larger plants? I have another 250w to keep mothers under and a cloning machine. I am growing in soil. Any opinions?

    Deathstar

    I just came upon a clone from NW ohio and brought it back down south. It was quite delicious when I sampled it. Anxious to see what happens :-)

    3rd Grow - Light burn or Nute burn? w/Pics

    I am at day 2 of my 6th week of flowering. The plants seem healthy for the most part, I use all Fox Farm nutes at half strength and I have a very light soil. 2 parts Ocean Forest 1 part Light Warrior with probably a little bit more perlite than I needed so the water runs right through the soil...

    1000w club

    3rd Grow. Here is a 1000w on a light mover with a six foot track, although I only use just over 4 ft of it. This is day two of week 6 of flowering. Bubblelicious and Recon.

    Uvonair Plus 500 Ozone generator...what do I do with it?

    I have a Uvonair plus 5000 ozone generator and from what I have read, I want to connect this somehow to my exhaust. Anyone have any idea how I would do this? I have a carbon filter/fan on the way, but things are getting pretty stinky. I don't want to run this in the room because I'm afraid it...

    2-400w hps vs. 1-600w hps?

    Great info guys. Thanks so much! If I have an open room could I run a 1000w with an open hood?

    2-400w hps vs. 1-600w hps?

    I think I will be going with the 600 watt. I have a pretty open area in my basement and have seem to have good air circulation with just oscillating fans in the grow area. What kind of a difference will the type of hood make? Do I have to have an inline fan for the light? Everyone's input's...

    2-400w hps vs. 1-600w hps?

    Seems like you would have adequate air flow to keep it cool, I say go for it if you can keep the temp regulated.

    2-400w hps vs. 1-600w hps?

    I was wondering about the heat too Phelps, it's a pretty small area, were you going to put the light vertical? I am using my basement and space isn't much of an issue, but I am only using about 3x3 at most but it just doesn't seem to be cutting it.

    2-400w hps vs. 1-600w hps?

    I already have 1 400w hps and I want to get another light. I can get two 400w lights with ballast, etc for considerably less than 1 600w light. Any ideas on which would be better? I understand I could cover more area with two lights. How would this affect resin production or denseness? Just...

    Noob didn't flush nearly enough.

    Thanks for all of the info guys. I don't think I harvested too early, the trichs were almost all cloudy with a few amber ones. I left most of the leaf on the plant and let it hang for about a week in a dark well ventilated area. I did not have any fans blowing on them or anything. I thought...

    Noob didn't flush nearly enough.

    My first grow, I guess I didn't understand how much I needed to flush. I am used Humboldt's Oneness and Ginormous in FF Happy Frog soil, following the feeding schedule, but it seems like the feeding schedule was a bit hot. On top of that I probably only flushed 1/3 of what I should have. The...

    Moldy buds?

    Thanks, I opened them at least twice a day took them out of the jars, and put them back in. Maybe I put them in jars a little too early. I have them all sitting with the jars open now and the smell is still there but it is definitely not as strong. Hopefully this will help if I let them air...
