    600w revolt ballast bulb heat related questions

    So I fired up my room today ( no plants yet just setting up) and it seemed like my bulbs were getting warmer than I remembered. It was especially the case with my hps bulb, it got so warm it kind of smelled like over heated laundry. The CMH bulb didn't seem to be as bad, which i thought was...

My "souvenirs" could be here with in a week... thats damn fast compared to the other times i've ordered, its usually 2 weeks (I'm west of chicago) , and i caught it during...

Every time he watered them they burned more, never fed them still burned. its made for plants that feed...

    THC Bomb Germinating problem...

    I have had some issues with mine. got a 10 pack this summer am one for four, and the one went hermi one me... never had issues with any other seeds like this one. I was thinking since they were regs the stock might be old, the outer shells on mine were kinda peeling... weird.

    New Guy Needs Guidance on CFL Lighting

    I've got a closet set up about the same size you are working with. I eventually went to a 600w 4x4x7 tent, but decided to take a crack at using my cfl set up this summer. I have a board cut just a little smaller than the closet hanging from the ceiling on pulleys . I screwed light fixtures to...

    What's Wrong With This Seedling? (PICS)

    You should check out the thread on Lst for autos. Could help increase your yield. I've had good luck using it on photos, but never tried it with autos. You are getting close to the time when you can start training them.

    What's Wrong With This Seedling? (PICS)

    I'm going with the over critical observation. Its hard to judge a not fully mature leaf for any problems...especially at 6 days old. Let them grow, I think they will be fine. I would hold off on feeding until week 3 or more though, next week might be a little too soon for for any nutes with...

    Post Your Purple Pics

    sick meds must have a thing for the purps. I'm growing one bizarre and its got some deep purple bud leaves. this is the pic from their website, but mine looks pretty much the same. its also a very low odor strain, its about 4 weeks into flower and it doesn't smell unless you give it a little...

    Question on starting auto seeds outdoors and the effect of upcoming cooling temps.

    I would bring them in if you could. Last year we did a few early in the season due to the crazy early spring, then the weather went sideways on us early in veg phase, they never really recovered. The first 3 weeks are pretty critical with autos. Yields were low from them...I'm pretty sure we did...

    Are autos worth it?

    I've harvested a few autos now, so consider it an educated guesstimate. this one doesn't even compare to the auto critical jack that put out 2 zips. these are similar to drew425 description, about a foot tall, with minimal output on the side branching. I'm not sure if you misinterpreted what I...

    Are autos worth it?

    Sorry no journal or pics, got about 2 weeks left til harvest. Smell is half sweet half musty, they are starting to plump up a little bit now. Oddly enough they started flowering a week apart, one around the 17 day mark and the other a week later. As for smoke I would imagine it to be a heavy...

    Are autos worth it?

    had a dinafem auto critical jack put out damn near 2 zips in 65 days, other than that I haven't seen much to keep me trying autos. This run I've got 2 w.o.s nlxbb and one pak ryder going while I vegged some other plants and I'm not too impressed with them so far, it looks like less than one oz...

    how long for my onyx

    well, you could cough up the ten bux and get a 30x scope and check the trichs yourself, since just eyeballing them wont be enough. i wouldn't expect it to be done before 60 days , haven't seen many autos even claim to be done in less than 60 days. At least most of the "retards" here can tell...

    Quality 450cfm carbon filter?

    I got mine with a fan from gothamhydro for 160 bux. I would imagine just the filter would be half of that or less. If you go thru ebay they don't charge shipping. It kills all the stinky, but it is a little heavy. I think for 450 cfm you will need the 18 inch long one.

    I just got high on Pasta Roni :)

    I used cannabutter to make a box of pasta roni. I wasn't sure if it would work , but it clearly is. I used the Parmesan flavored box as it called for 2 spoons of butter... i gave it closer to 4... i think. I've never been one for measuring butter...more is better. If you do try it remember to...
