hey budbro, i'm loving the contest idea. BB should be shelling out for prizes imo. :) good luck to everyone, i hope the dog has more bite than bark! i will be sub'd for this ride...

Yea I have read about LEDs having more of a usable spectrum. Plus temps are much easier to manage. Where did you get yours, and how much did you pay? I am DYING to try super soil. I've already studied up on it a bit and will continue to do so. I think towards the end of my grow, I will be...

That's actually a great suggestion. I think I might even buy a couple seeds. Is there any particular breeder you would recommend for this strain?

Yea I'm actually going to try to follow Uncle Ben's topping technique to get 4 colas. It's just a detailed explanation of fim, really, but useful. https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/151706-uncle-bens-topping-technique-get.html Are you starting a grow journal for the LEDs? I...

hey budbro, thanks for stopping by and sharing your advice. i definitely am not starting the seeds in that soil mix. for seedlings, i'll probably do just the Happy Frog with some perlite added in to provide more drainage and lower the chance of nute burn. do you think that's also too much? i've...

I have been looking into getting some Rare Dankness seeds because they all seem solid and everyone who has a grow journal for any of their seeds has produced some disgustingly sick buds. Now this will be my "first" real grow, seeing as my actual first grow was amateur and unfinished. This time...

Hey AimAim, I'll come along for the journey :) Do you find it makes a noticeable difference to have the CFL's in addition to the 600w? I was thinking of buying a couple T5 fixtures to hang vertically to compensate for the areas my 600w won't reach. Good luck friend!

Thanks for your input! Great looking plants but sorry to see your thread got derailed by trolling. What was the final weigh-in of all four plants? Any pics of the final product?

Oh wow you guys are getting great results...I hope I'll be able to come close on my first run with this new setup! I will absolutely have a grow journal but not starting the grow for another month - I'm moving and waiting to get into the new place where I'll have one room dedicated to this. The...

Ya I'm thinking I'll go with the 3 gallon airpots (5 gallon equivalent) to save space. After the first grow I'll start to experiment with different variables like bigger pots and clones. Anyone else have some experiences to share from a 4x4 ft 600 watt grow tent?

I am growing from seed only. No clones available in my area :( I feel like 7-10 gal is excessive for a small space like that, won't it get too big/tall? What is minimal training? Are you doing scrog or anything? I hope I'll be able to yield at least a pound of dry bud, is that unrealistic?

Hi all, I'm doing my second grow soon and I have purchased everything I need for a 4x4 tent setup with 600 watts MH for veg and HPS for flower. I will be doing a soil grow using the whole Fox Farm nute lineup and Ocean Forest soil. Until now, I have been thinking of doing 9-10 plants in 5 gal...

Hey what are your guys' thoughts on Superoots Airpots vs Copper (II) Hydroxide method for root pruning?

Unfortunately I do not have another one of anything lying around. I have to wait until my second bulb is delivered next week to be able to test anything. At that point, if that bulb doesn't fire up either, I'll replace the ballast and socket.

So I just ordered a brand new digital ballast, 600w ushio hilux gro bulb, and air-cooled reflector...i hook it all up, go to turn it on, and...NOTHING! 600 Watt Dimmable Digital Ballast: http://amzn.com/B0052AESTM Ushio Hilux Gro 600 Watt bulb: http://amzn.com/B003U4Y0OU Reflector...

Hey any more updates on this?

Right here buddy only $300 http://www.ebay.com/itm/T5-GROW-LIGHT-COMPLETE-w-T5HO-BULBS-2-4-6-8-lamp-24-48-Fluorescent-Veg-Bloom-/160709546880 EDIT: It's actually much cheaper directly from HTGSupply, only $215 + shipping (~$20)...

I have heard the exact opposite actually. Pulling hot air through the fan will wear it down more than pushing cool air. Is that incorrect? I live in a warm state so I'll just be pulling air from the room which will be air conditioned. BTW thanks to everyone for the tips.

What is the benefit of a fan on the intake? Also, how would I filter the intake?

In a 4'x4' tent, I plan on setting up ventilation by sticking a 440 CFM fan outside, connect it to a carbon filter (also outside) and then run a duct from the filter to the top of the tent. Then the duct will connect to a Y-shaped duct connector inside the tent. The bottom part of the connector...
