I see. Thanks Robert! I think i'm just going to prune the bottom whole branches off and I'm sure after 3 more batches I'll get the hang of it. THis is my 3rd batch so that's a while away but : )

YOu mean like constantly top the lower branches? seems like it would keep using energy to re-bud at that point

Oh i know they can take it! They survived all my grows so far and i've messed up plenty of times lol. I just don't want to cut off productive leaves ... mainly b/c i read uncle ben's thread when i first starting when he stated to never trim anything but i'm seeing unproductive growth down...

Yeah those were my thoughts too, lights on the sides or prune the heck out of the bottom so it can all be 'surface' leaves. Do i lose yield by pruning the bottom?

I've been doing plant at a time under a 400hps. They're vegged around 2 months, topped, bushed, supercropped, lst'd, etc. They're big bushes basically. I'm harvesting my best yield yet but it's ridiculously tedious with all the popcorn buds. Some of them are pretty decent but I'm too busy to...

Yeah good points on CFLs. I DIY'd the whole first grow with cfls and a cheap plastic cabinet rig. Now i'm hps in a closet but still cheap, diy, and low tech. Military grade super lights or more seriously a scientific lighting improvement is outside of my grasp as well as a scientific...

Did you get the 7oz's and the 1-2 of lower grade from the 400 or the 600? I'm asking because I'm getting close to my third harvest, second under a 400w hps, and I'm hoping to get a big yield like that.

Keep talking this is great. CFL's accessories since they're almost all DIY or tube racks might be convenient it seems. Quality wall/pole mounted oscillating fan 6-8-10-12" Am i getting this right? : )

NL3004 - Yes there's plenty already out there ... until something new and innovative hits. All it takes is an idea. Beardo - I've seen those fans but not with a clip for poles. I'm pretty sure what you're talking about is already on the market. Some ideas I've toyed with in my head: -...

Hey all, Just looking for some ideas for products, solutions, or needs in the growing world. New nutrients? New grow lights or accessories? etc etc I'm contemplating bringing a product to the market and was just interested in some 'first hand' ideas from growers who know what they wish...

Hello fellow stoners, Are marijuana extract pills available? Was conceptualizing it and wasn't sure if this was something currently being done already in dispensaries.

I'm an entrepreneur at heart and am always looking for the next business opportunity to pounce on. Work as a regional sales rep for a supplement company dealing with, ironically, herbal medicine. : ) I just grow for personal enjoyment and am a newb in that regard. I don't have time to really...

Mine were already topped and lst'd down (split open so to speak) when i started flowering. I tried to further LST them a couple days in and split one of them right down the middle stem about 3" ... where i had topped in essence. I was petrified. It's doing fine and looking to yield more than...

I'm on my second BM grow and again has no smell. 4 plants so far. Didn't cure the last harvest, will not make that mistake again ...

I have a Floralux 400w hps running. It's air-cooled by a Stanley fan and I have the ducting going straight from fan to the hood ... attached by lots of duct tape. Has worked for 3+ month as of now but is starting to keep falling off while i'm away, leaving heat issues for my plants. I...
