There's a saying that you can achieve approx 1g per 1 watt, so e.g 1000w HPS would give you approx 1000g of dried bud. Not sure how correct this is though. I've seen a few threads discussing it, but strangely enough i've never seen anyone share what veg time they had to achieve this result, if...

I usually have a 99.9% success rate with seeds, germination usually takes 4 days, sometimes 5. I just put them in the soil, make sure it never dries out, its simple and it works. A while ago i bought a pack of seeds called Rockbud, spent a little more than i usually do (over $120), planted 5...

I've got a few clones that i had in 1,5l Cola bottles. They've been repotted for a week now into 3,5l smart pots (which are a lot wider). A few of those clones are a real shit hermie strain that i obviously dont want so i took them out of the pots. The roots has spread nicely downward, but...

I usually grow from feminized seeds and usually after ~40 days of 12/12 i see a plant or two with seed pods. I inspect my plants from time to time, though not daily and not each internode (that would be really tiresome), but usually i never see the male characteristics, i guess its because it's...

My grow room is a walk in closet with 12 plants, this is my first grow where i use a 600w bulb hanging vertically. Another 600w is placed like normal (horizontal) in a diamond reflector. Strains are: Ice, Papaya, Domina, C-Plus, Rombolt. Pretty sure there's one more, but i've forgotten which...

I have this rather old (80's i would guess) armature for a e27 CFL bulb, it says "max 40w" on a sticker. Would it be dangerous to use a 45w CLF in it? It's made in some kind of metal so the armature itself should be safe, i'm not sure if there's a difference in the electronics? I guess when...

Completely forgot about one of my cups (left it on a shelf), so now the seedling is kind of spindley (which i hate and always try to avoid). It can still manage to stand on its own, but it's taller than usual. If i burry it deeper in the soil, will it develop roots from the still fresh stem...

Why is darkness recommended for germination? Doesnt seem to make much sense to me, why would darkness be beneficial to the seed in any way? Just curious. I have some seedlings already but decided to go for a few more plants, so i've put the seeds in the pots in the same room, threw some black...

Is there a big difference in yield if you crop a plant when there's no or maybe one or two amber trichromes and when 50% or even 100% amber? I'm guessing the main bud might not grow so much but the buds around it will start to fatten up? I'm using the LST technique (though i went a little too...

Do they stretch for the entire flowering period (obviosuly more in the begining) or does it come to a complete halt after a month or so? I guess i've never really payed attention to when they stop stretching..

What could be the cause of this? I couldnt find a picture that shows this problem. The plant has a very dark green looking color other than the very edges of the leaves which has a completely different, light color. It does not gradualy fade to a new color (like in this pic...

For a better yield, would it work to chop off the main colas and then let the smaller buds grow for 2-3 weeks? I noticed in my previous grow that the lower buds can look very healthy and with white/clear trichomes. Maybe the stress will be too big and just kill the plant / or make it turn into...

How much longer does it usually take to flower plants that has seeds? I know it's slower, but how much, 2 weeks, a month? My Bogglegums all seems to have seeds (they're from my own feminized seeds), most of the other strains too. Bogglegums are like 60 days into flowering with no amber...

I forgot to close the door to my grow room for around 3 hours (there was no direct light coming in, but room was probably not completely pitch black). When these things happens, is it better to just turn on the lights on schedule or is it safer to let them have 3 hours of extra darkness? Which...

How does this damage the lamp? If i remember correctly you should wait a while before turning it on again (i dont have digital balast, if that matters). This morning the timer didnt went on, and i was in a pissy mood so i pushed the on/off button on the timer several times before i realised it...

Info: * 600w HPS (+ 1 more 600w HPS coming in a day or two) * Medium: soil, perlite. * 41 plants. Many different strains, both sativas and indicas. Most seeds are feminized. I will end up with around ~35+ plants im sure, it's been over a month now and still no signs of any males, around 15...

This time around i'm thinking i will keep my plants in smaller pots instead of the large 6.5l i usually put my seedlings in from the start. But for how long can i keep them in the small pots (0,5l - 0,9l pots) before this will stunt the plant's growth which, of course, is not good. 1 week, 2...

Does old seeds (7+ years or so) produce weaker plants or is the only difference many of them will not sprout? Last time i tried it some plants did start to grow but those plants were stunted in growth after a while so i threw them away. Maybe just coincidence? Got some old Bogglegum i'd...

By accident my friends plants most likely got pollinated by 2 hermies :( The sacks were open ("bananas" were visible) so i guess that means they managed to spread some pollen? Obviously he threw them out, and is going to clean the room. They're about 3 weeks into flowering (counting from going...

Which is considered more important? I've read some people suggesting that exhaust is more important, but that doesnt make much sense to me. I've been using a really large intake fan that pulls a lot of air, it will both pull in fresh/cold air and new h2o. The room might get a bit colder if i...
