    Harvest Time: A Tutorial

    Just to get things straight, because I think I'm getting close to cutting. I have the 30x microscope, so what I'll be looking for is amber colored crystals, correct? Yes, a lot of the hairs have turned brown. A lot of the smaller leaves surrounding, and in, the main bud have started to curl...

    CFL Array's

    YES! Thank You ...but one last Q? Is the quote above for 1 plant or multiples? ...and yes I do plan on lighting at least the canopy and mid section areas. I figured this ...but i won't be using 400w - 500w of cfls, will I? If you state that 6.5 23w cfl's equal 150w. So even if I use 13 that...

    Fantastic info Gastanker!! I'd like to pull the heater, but the nights are still dipping into the low 40's. It's rarely on during the day anymore, but winter was hell and that's when all the breaker tripping was going on. Going to try to grow enough (in spring/summer, and a little fall) that I...

    CFL Array's

    I had something thought of along the lines of the drawing below. No it's not to scale ..just a napkin dream at the moment. Also on the hanging light assembly, I'll make room to have 1 or 2 bulbs hang lower than the fixture for interior/center side lighting. I guess it will be a box of sorts (3...

    CFL Array's

    Thanks Belesar ...you could even use that outside of a box. I have no problems with ventilation in the open/closed area I'm using. So no need for the vent tubing. I built a 5x10 area in my garage that is partitioned off (nothing inside is visible from outside), the garage is not sealed well so i...

    CFL Array's

    Gastanker... Thanks again for replying... Could I bother you for just a little more info? As I'm just learning (noob) about these lights ...the watering, nutes, soils, etc.. I've already learned well enough from the hps lighting side. I'm guessing those things will pretty much stay the...

    CFL Array's

    I recently read the book ...Buds for less ...about cfl growing. Right now I'm using hps, but if I can do the same ...and maybe better (less electrical $$$)with the cfl's, then I'm game. I was wondering how others are hooking up their light array's? Does anyone have any pics of their light set...

    Hi...(Newbie) Tips Appreciated!!

    Thanks for the Welcome ...and the back-up information ...purplehazin! I still haven't heard any replies as to the strain or type ...anyone care to take a stab? Is it too early to tell?? It looks and smells like it'll be some good smoke. When i softly squeeze around the buds, my finger tips...

    Hi...(Newbie) Tips Appreciated!!

    RyAnRioT, I do water the clones in the propogation tray with a very small amount (pinch) of bloom added to the water. I also mist them (water with a pinch of bloom) for the first 3 days (at night, right b4 lights out) in propagation. I read, and was told at AHL, that this helps promote the...

    Hi...(Newbie) Tips Appreciated!!

    Hi, I'm new to the group and have been a new grower for about the last 2 months or so. I used to grow back in the day ..mainly just dirt and water (and luck), outside. About 2 months ago a friend of mine gave me a clone from his collection. Well, I got right into growing again. This time...
