oh and one more thing pandan..........I do have to raise my light EVERY DAY. about an inch or 1 1/2 inch every day.

The reason is simple.....I have neighboring houses that overlook the property that i am using for my grow. By reducing the amount of times that i'm going in and out of an unoccupied property you raise less suspicion. Thus reducing the possiblity of theft. I love spending time with my plants...

I went with the first idea (pics coming) I used a 7 day motor and an old monofilament spool attached to the shaft. It's mounted to the wall & it winds the rope at 1" per day. the rope goes thru a pulley attached to ceiling then down to my hi bay hood. (with ballast remote mounted to lessen...

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and ideas. I'm taking silver deisel's idea and am taking apart an old paper temp./humidity plotter since it takes 1 week to make 1 full revolution. They can be picked up (cheaply) at surplus stores or ebay as that type of paper chart is no longer used by...

Yeah. I know genius. It was a joke. Trying to lighten the mood. If gays want to be miserable then why shouldn't they be allowed get married?

And that, my friends, is very well said. Btw .....Did you know that according to a recent study, 37% of gay men say they were born that way. 14% say it was caused by environmental factors. And 49% said that they were sucked into it.....lol

Sounds too complicated? It's really not. And I can't believe nobody has created and marketed this. Here's the the basic idea...You use a timer to turn lights on and off. You use a thermostat to keep the room the right temp. I use a timer to drip-irrigate my plants. Basically, electronics...

You will be fine with a 12/3 extension cord up to 50' long. Trust me on this. I used to run a squid boat with (16) 1500 watt MH lightbulbs and I know what it takes to melt a cord. So in my opinion...12/3 no longer than 50' .......If you want to assure yourself, check the cord every 30 mins to...

very well said, dnoob!!

Well, I learned almost everything i know from here. Thank you.

Lol Thanks.

Thanks. I'll get started on it tomorrow. It's been a very unorganized, rocky beginning. Started 6 from unknown (sour og or sour grapes) seeds. 1 Male confirmed and dead. 2 Females confirmed. 4 unknown. oh, and 1 Blue Dream Clone. (was started outside here in so cal bout 4 weeks ago. amateur...

----So these are about 6 weeks from seed. 2 400 watt mh on 18/6 with a window unit A/C. Soil grow My first grow, but plants are extremely healthy and nodes are tight. I started 3 of the plants outside, and in doing so have confirmed 1 male (R.I.P.and 2 females. I got sick of worrying about...

....Is size a concern? if not, do 18/6 until plants are 1/3 to 1/2 as big as you want them. generally speaking, better harvest with only 5 plants. then switch them to 12/12 and look for preflowers in 6 -12 days.

No worse than eating a hamburger in front of a cow....:)

Matticus408, I apologize. So with all sarcasm aside, Here is my reply- There are options. An ionic air purifier (expensive & won't get rid of the carbon monoxide) Have your plants shown any signs of stress? If so, I'd say it's prolly something else. If not, then don't worry about it...

not trying to be nasty, bud. i'm just overly dramatic, sorry.

Certain plants are actually more sensitive to cigarette smoke. Tomatoes being one of the most sensitive. But i gotta ask ya, " Why would you want to do anything that might stress your plants?" Especially when he can smoke anywhere else in the house.

come on dude.....really? you don't think a little carbon monoxide's gonna hurt em? go run a hose from the tailpipe of your car inside the car with you. breathe deep, and let me know how it goes, k?

:roll:Just a thought....Keep doing what you are doing....the results will be the same....If you REALLY cared about the health of your girls, you wouldn't be stressing them out like that anyway. would you blow cigarette smoke into a helpless infants mouth? BTW I am also a smoker, so i'm not...
