Yeah just resume normal schedule. I've had similar things happen and as long as it doesn't happen a lot then you should be okay. Just a small hiccup which might slow them for a few days, and if necessary have them go a little longer.

Hey gents, I'm not a first time grower, but it has been a while since I've germinated. So anyway I germinated the little girls about 5 weeks ago, and after the first week all became seedlings with tiny cotyledon leaves. So for four weeks they have been growing directly (within 2 inches)...

yeah man, I had the same prob back last summer dude. I actually had to keep my mouth closed or the little assholes would get in my mouth. It was a total infestation and I needed a fast solution, because if the gnat problem is allowed to fester they will begin to attack the roots to your girlies...

You have quite a nice room size of 112 sq. ft., 10 foot ceilings is especially a plus! Anyway, as far as I understand it goes like this: 400 watt: 5 x 5 600 watt: 6 x 6 1000 watt: 8 x 8 So for a room of your size you'd probably want to invest in either 4 600 watt or 2-3 1000 watt. I prefer...

But they have to have probable cause in order to check someone's electric bill. There's no way they would sift through hundreds of thousands of people's electric bills for each city and intend to know who grows and who doesn't. That's just ridiculous. Most people are busted because they give off...

I've always heard that you don't want to top, chop, or do anything to the girls when they've started to flower. You will diminish your yield and temporarily stress the plant. You want as little stress in this period as possible because you want her to focus on budding, not healing. If you...

So I just got some seeds from attitude and I'm pretty excited to start these babies up, but I simply have one question. Should I spray them with a hydrogen peroxide solution? I saw a video that said you can do this to "clean" them and make sure there's no fungus... I wouldn't think there would...

It's not unusual for average people to have electric bills upwards of 2-3 hundred dollars depending on their household setup. For instance, if a family uses electric heat they burn between 700 and 1500 watts on average per unit! During the summer they can use a lot of electric with A/C's and...

Hello all, this is a relatively unique question, and something that has never happened to me before. My friend installed a lamp for me and forgot to remove the film on the reflector. I didn't know until I checked a few weeks later and noticed that some of the film was hanging down, and so I...

I didn't call you dumb or "dumm" as you stated. I simply tried to help you understand how when you use HPS in conjunction with a MH it can be very beneficial by increasing yield. Don't even try to tell me I'm wrong because I bet I could find dozens of expert growers on here who would agree...

That's where you're wrong. HPS is superior for flower. They concentrate on red/orange spectrum which the plants require during that phase in their lives. Blue/white is not necessary during flower only when vegging will it be necessary, and in which case you would use a MH bulb. Hence the reason...

Lumens, or footcandles is very important because it determines the amount of light the plants are receiving. You could have the best spectrum possible, but if you have low intensity or fc (Sun = 10,000 fc or lumens per sq ft) your specimens will have minimal absorbable light, and therefore seize...

No, it looks like you have a standard T12 shop light fixture, which are currently obsolete most everywhere. The T12 has been replaced with the much more efficient T8, and as the previous poster said, the T5's are even better in this application. Some T12 fixtures, such as yours, will accept T8...

Man, you can't burn your girls with those shop lights. haha If anything they're growing at a snails pace because they're starved from lack of light. You need to get a bunch of cfl's or a 250 watt mh/hps switchable ballast if you expect to yield anything.

Not one person has used these or knows if they're reliable? I tried finding other LED posts, but the search never works for me.
