Thanks, but I have no idea what you are talking about or how to go about it. I don't know enough about electrics to get into something like that. At the moment, I have decided to run a heavy duty extension from another circuit in the house out to the garage and plug the tent stuff into that...

I think that there are one or two of those in the system but they haven't tripped out when the circuit has blown.

Thanks. I will try swapping out the ballast, but the circuit still has tripped when the ballasts or lights are not being used. All I have is a ballast, a 600 w hps, an extractor fan and a couple of oscillating fans, but it has still tripped when none of these were on.

I am in an older house and the circuit that controls the garage power is shared with the kitchen laundry room. Recently, I keep getting the circuit tripped and I can't find a faulty appliance on the circuit. We don't run all of the appliances together and the load has been stable for a few years...

Nitrogen deficiency tends to give the leaves an overall yellower color instead of the mottled appearance of your leaves. Check these out http://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-symptoms-pictures

Is what a nitrogen deficiency? Your day is 25 hours long?

Be careful, I grew some in 7L pots and also topped them once and they still grew up to 5 feet tall. They also take longer to mature so be patient.

The pistils should be getting darker and withered, the calyxes should be swelling and engulfing the pistils and the trichs should be a solid milky. I had a chance to observe a plant go too far because it was in with others that needed more time and I had no place to put it if I harvested it...

If using a flood and drain system that recirculates the nutes, using clay pebbles and the buckets are 10L outer bucket and 6L inner pot, how would you figure out the timings for flood and drain? Do they vary during the life of the plant or between veg and flower? Does it depend on strain? How do...

Thanks. I would like to only use 4 of the pots since my tent won't accommodate 6. Is it possible to only connect some of the pots to the control bucket? I like the idea of only dealing with one res tank rather than fiddling around with each bubble bucket. One question is about the recirculated...

I am interested in trying the iws flood and drain system and it looks like a good idea but I was wondering what are the downsides, since all methods have plusses and minuses. I grow in soil pots. I tried a bubble bucket hydro grow once and it was so much work keeping the ph and the level in the...

Can anyone please tell me what these leaves show? They are from the lowest leaves of young nl5 x haze plants (2 weeks since sprouting) being grown in soil in small clay pots before potting up. All 3 plants show the same effects to different extent, but the newer growth looks fine and the...

Does anyone think that going with 5 x 7L pots versus 4 x 11L pots in my tent would be a better choice or not? I'm thinking primarily yield and height, but also will a smaller pot size tend to introduce nutrient issues or root bounding that can then affect yield or even potency?

I am planning to grow 4 sensi nl5 x haze plants from seed in a 1x1x 2m tent and am worried about the reports of stretching in that strain. I want to get the best yield and potency, but I don't want to run out of head room. Should I use 7.5L or 11L soil pots? Can I control the height or help...

Can anyone please suggest a strain that is a strong indica that also produces a good yield? I am looking for something that is good for insomnia but also a strong pot effect, not just medicinal. Do I need to look at photoperiods or are there good autoflowers also available? I am growing indoors...
