Near as possible to the canopy, also not a bad thing to know your soil temp

I have a quick question, more of a "holy crap, is this right?".

I am growing 3 plants this year, just for fun. I plan on doing it outdoor, but as of now I am keeping them indoor. I give them 16 hours a day of light for now, I start off in the morning at 7am with a timer and a CFL light, and then once the sun hits my balcony, I take the outdoors for the whole day, and then I toss them back under the light for the last 3-4 hours.

I am attaching a pic of the 2 older ones (one germinated late), and I would like to know, do they look normal to you after one month of growing? one is a Skunk, one is a northern light.

They seem small...like only about a foot, not even.

Please let me know!!!! thanks! (I might post this under a thread on its own, since I need an answer asap!).

quick question..
A friend of mine was saying the height of a cutting makes a difference when
cloning. He claims he can get roots off a 3" cutting faster than a 8-10"
cutting. Same plant, and each cutting is fairly similar.
What do you guys think of that? Is he full of it? Does it make him veg longer due
to a shorter cutting? Or is he making up time with the roots taking hold faster?

it really depends on several factors, but yes it is possible

Well there are a lot that would tell you that a 400 would be just fine in that area and it would work, but I'm a CMH puppy and the way I grow that area would only be big enough for 2 plants so I would be more inclined to put a 250 watt CMH in there (which would not have no where near the heat to deal with)

Your gonna need a fan for circulation, if you are growing stealthily your gonna need to deal with the smell by installing a carbon filter (scrubber)

In the end it is truely best to do the research and decide for yourself which way you want to grow, there are so many different ways and all the equipment choices I know are a bitch to wade thru, I put in over 400 hours of reading before I decided on the CMH bulbs (and in case you don't know what that means it's Ceramic Metal Halide)

I believe I talked about them in my NooB Advice thread page 24 if you want my take on em

hi peps i have been speaking to riddleme and he has said about CMH what sort of buds size do u get with a 250watt and can i use just one bulb from star to finish or would you recomend any different ones i would be willing to by one for veg and one for flower, my space is 2x3x5 which is in my shed i am looking for good yeild and finish prodction within 8-10weeks. would i need a heater for this space or will the light give off enough heat, and do i need lights on the side some say yes if i use these lights but i have used some info from riddleme before and it seems to be working fine i would like advice like his

although anybodys is well come

The beauty of them is that you can use them for veg & flowering. There is only one CMH, but many bulbs to choose from. Lots of small bulbs in many weird sizes. Riddleme shows the 250W and 400W to use but no UV block is the important part. I'd say you can grow as big buds as you would with a 250W mh/hps set-up if not bigger. Hopefully bigger. A 250W for 2X3 seems right to me. I run a dual 150W HPS in about the same size room now, but I want to change to the CMH soon.
The heat is suppose to be less, but I'll know when I get some. I don't think you'll need a heater. You can run it at night, then use day's heat for their dark time OR run it during day if the night stays warm enough and day's aren't too hot. Need to know more about the air system you plan to help there. A air cooled hood or Cool Tube is different than a Carbon scrubber then main exhaust. Hope this helps.

hi daniels

i dont really know what to use for ventilation i was thinking two cumputer fans

what type of bulb would u suggest does it matter in shape and how would i light the side of the plants or would the matt painted white walls be ok

hey well i need help! the top of my indoor plant has little tiny spots and i cant figure out why. my ph is where it always has been too so im thinking its the nutes. i use pureblend pro with just my mix of soil and i fel like my plant is stunted .......... HELP ME SOMEONE!!!

READ THIS & TRY TO ANSEWR MY QUESTION. AROUND MY BUDS ARE REAL DRY, I MISTED MY PLANT WITH NUTE MIXED WATER, JUST TO EXPERIMENT. WILL IT BE OKAY & GROW MORE BIGGER BUDS?

www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/335088-around-my-buds.html

I have 4 plants between 9-12 inches tall. All healthy looking no brown spots. Their about 5 weeks old. They havent grown anny of the small leaves near the stem. When will i start to see these???

imhave 5 pants in a tote 3 weeks into flower and there getting huge and the two bigger ones are shading the other three waht can i do

Glad to hear you are so willing to help.... It is apprecaited I am sure. I have had 5 of my 5wk old flowering plants go hermie. I have some others in the same room flowering that are 3wks or so. Will the ones that went hermie cause the others to go hermie also? Please help..

One more thing.. I have a veg room very close by... Will it cause my clones to go hermie to? (They are out of the dome)

Thanks!

I'm a fan of Cool Tubes. I made a DIY one for my Medicinal fridge. I like a separate air system with a 120mm Comp, mine is 135 CFM. Helps with temp control. The main exhaust can have a carbon scrubber for odor control. Passive intake should be fine. Bulb shape for CMH is real close to HPS. I think a 250W for that space is enough. It's 41W/sq.ft. You can always add side CFL's later. Flat white walls are good. Hope that helps.
