i think that 24 hours is a waste of power (my opinion) 18-6 worked great for me and a friend growing the same exact strain did 24-0 with a worse outcome.......prolly not due only to the light cycle but it was surely a factor

Ive been adding it for the past 3 weeks or so and although i have no control for the experiment they are doing so well that im sure its helping, also it seems almost impossible to over use the stuff, i keep uping the frequency and dose assuming the plants will show signs of too much and they...

I was wondering when you guys have noticed most Bud weight is put on, Im just starting week 6 of flower on 7 pot of gold plants, a friend of mine said strong indica plants like this dont tend to bulk up till the 2nd half of flowering, pipe dream or do i still have alot of mass to look forward to...

Ive bought several lights from insidesun.com their cheap and know what their talkin about, i would say get a 400 w min. after the first grow your def. gonna want to expand

I do the simple finger in the soil, moist wait till the next day dry give em' a drink, seems simple but be careful of the beginner temptation to go to either extreme, a friend of mine heard over watering was bad and barely gave them enough to survive then when i told him what the problem was he...

yeah i have a 1000w MH in a 4' x 4' area and it really makes them grow like crazy, if used in a small space, you will most likely hagve to put a samll ac unit in, my temps climb to upwards of 110 without it

I had tried CFL's as well as tube flourecents and they dont even compare to the grow that you can get from a HID, you can get a reletivley small MH 200 or 400 watt for pretty cheap and There is no doubt in my mind that they pay for themselves right away, I currently use a 1000 watt MH and would...

thanks, you guys put my mind at ease hahaha :joint:

Im just started my 5th week of flowering and the fan leaves on the lower part of my plants have been falling off (some yellow and shriveled some not) the canopy is very thick and healthy, is this normal? i havnt read anything about this being normal maybe its just a lack of light down below and...

when you said you lay the leaf flat and shoots come out vertically do you mean the entire bottom of the leaf sporuts roots? ive only seen growth like that growing mushrooms, would be cool if it works.......

do you not need to vent if you have a CO2 system? it seems like a waste to have your exaust just pull it right back out, also in the begining you said you were doing a scrog isnt that with a net suspended above the canopy?

thanks for all the info, just got back from the grocery store and gave all the pretty ladies their first dose, im in the middle of my 4th week of flower seems like some people dont really mess with it till the end and some go for it all through flowering, any difference, someone mentioned...

Ive been doing a fair amount of reading on molassas mixed with water during the flowering cycle to boost resin production, I was hoping some of you had done this before and might offer some insight into what mixing ratios seem to work the best, any info would be appreciated, thanks:joint:

yeah homebrewing is great ALMOST as fun as growing, but i didnt even think about the co2 implications of doing them together, a really inexpensive way to brew some pretty good wine is to go to walmart and get a case of the frozen juice concentrate (pasturized with no preservatives) and a 5...

thanks for the feedback, this is the first grow that I have tried with any substantial amount of effort (just fucked around with CFL's and bagseed) as for the MH over the HPS that was purely an economic decision i would love to have a switchable ballast, Bamm Bamm how do you have 50 in there? Im...
