Hey Alien. I know of lady bugs too but for spider mites on mother sized plants? I don't know how effective they will be. What was your experience using them? How many did you purchase for what size of an op?

We do not have any currently. I am planning on picking up two of the largest walmart has.

Hey guys. I have not been on here for a long while because I stopped growing for a time. I have started again and now it is in a warehouse. There are several issues that I need help on. Firstly, let me give a quick summary of my setup. There are 250 plants under 60x 1k hps lights. The strain...

I read in an article that the sun gives something around 1000 watt per 3x3. So anything more than 1000w for a 3x3 is a waste.

I agree completely. Though of course it does not make sense to have only 1 small plant under a 1000w light. That would be too many lumens lost. Neither does it make sense to have 10 big plants under 1 1000w light on a light mover- sure, the plants get light all around but they do not get as...

Ya.. but I am not worried about it not paying for itself.. What I am worried about it how my landlord is going to approach the situation... Will he freak out, or just ask me to help pay the utility bill... Lol, the excitment of mystery!

Ya, I understand that point on light movers but I believe that it is not just plants all getting some light.. I believe the more light each plants get the higher the yield. Yield=# of lights... NOT number of plants. So for that reason I do not need a mover so that I can use less lights. If I...

Hmm ya, and there is no way for me to figure out what the bills are.. I do not get them :/ Anyways I am going to set up a perpetual cycle so wont be 500$ a month for veg... I flower with 3 1000w lights, running 12-12 obviously... Then I will have 15-20 plants under 1 1000w mh light for veg...

I will come back just to tell you what happens.. But right when I started off I had a lot of questions, so I made an account with 3 different growing forum sites and asked the same questions on each- to find out which helps the most. RIU helped the least lol... So I will not be posting the grow...

How much do you think 3 1000w running at 100% would cost a month?

Ok well firstly, you were talking about entire grow, we were talking about monthly.. But ya, for 4 months of lights running, for sure $900... Per month... (hopefully) not more than 200-300... But yes, super big break with cooling, we have 1 10" exhaust blower, and 1 6" running. Thats it. No ac...

Interesting.. That could be a cool experiment... But you said 'taken during the stretch of the mother', meaning you took clones AFTER the mum was triggered? -also how was the comparitive yield for the plants that stayed small but full?

What!! No way will it be 900$... Maybe 300 ish... We have 5 1000w lights running, 2 of which are running at like 25-50%... And to cool it all off we only have 3 blowers... Which do not take too much electricity.. No AC's needed. ah and like 7 osco fans. Other than that we do not even have...

Bahahaha!!!! I fucking loved it. Thank you. Not only did you answer everything I just asked, but you did it in style. Full of sarcasm and witt. Hahah thanks :D Anyways, I am off to go stare at my plants for change :)

Brilliant thanks!! That is what I am asking! Haha.. Though sure, its probably a stupid question that only somebody who never grew before would ask.. and is totally useless to know... But thanks :D

Wait... They only begin the growth spurt by week 3...? Or it will finish by week 3..?

I know that they are all female- clones... And I know they grow like crazy but I am asking about a time table... Like, when does the growth spurt start (once triggered) and how long does it last??

Ahhh sorry, I think you misread my post... I am not asking anything about finding out if they are female or not.. simply about the growth spurt after being triggered...

Hey so I just triggered my plants last night, switched the light to 12-12. I am wondering around how long before they start growing like crazy and then when does that growth stop and the plants begin to flower? I know they grow like 2 or 3 times their size when triggered.. I am trying to...

Mmmm ya.. But actually, I am renting a place from a guy and because of very weird and special circumstances, I do not have to pay for any of the utility bills.. And I have 3 1000w lights on 100% and my roomie has another two 1000w on like 50%... Though I only just turned them on this month.. so...
