But is it like a mark of high quality or something?

I just harvested my Crystal grow today and there was a lot of mold. I started from seeds at Christmas, using a tent, 400W Lumatek, negative pressure and an oscillating fan in northern CA. I put the lights on at night to help mitigate the heat problem. I think the mold started in my previous...

I've been doing indoor soil growing for a few years and I want to do an outdoor grow. I live in Oakland, CA and my wife has a card so we're legally "safe" to grow a few plants at a time. For indoors I've been doing about 6 plants at a time and usually 2-3 end up being males. But I have...

Like to do some shopping. The usual, Cuban cigars, seeds, maybe an escort. Why are we not more like Canada?!:blsmoke:

I came home and and noticed that my 400w MH light, powered by a Lumatek 400 Hm/HPS ballast was not on. At first I thought it was the MH bulb went and I swapped the HPS bulb into it. Unfortunately its the ballast. Since I bought it used on Craigslist I don't have a receipt for it. Any...

I went down to my local CVS to get some perlite and they're like charging $6.99 plus tax for 12 quarts of perlite? What is it made up that would make it cost so much?

I have a 400w Lumatek coupled to a Hydrofarm reflector. During the seedling period, I want to use my CFL and the reflector. But the CFL needs to be plugged directly into my 110V, thereby bypassing the ballast, which I will use with the MH and HPS bulb. Is there a converter plug that I can use...

Hi Folks: Been flowering for 8 days and I think 3 of my 6 plants are males (not that there's anything wrong with that of course). I had them vegging for 3 months because I was learning on the job to dial in the setup. Once I got them onto the FoxFarm diet, it just took care of everything. So...

This is my first grow and I had a lot of problems. But once I dialed in the Fox Farm nutes, everything started falling in place. I kick started the flowering process by turning off all lights for 48 hours, and then swapping the lights from MH to HPS. To my shock the plants grew about 7 inches...

I always thought they were the same but are they? Also does anyone know how to read the Fox Farm chart? Are you supposed to use all the products listed or just pick one of them? I've been having problems finishing my grows and I want to just stick to a set recipe. Doesn't have to be the best...

So I got a tri-meter and after calibrating it with standard solution, how does one really use it? Do I measure the water, or stick the probes in the soil? And what are the optimal ranges for an indoor soil grow? What does one do to get the environment back in order? Thanks

Its the weekend so it'll take me a week to get the glass replaced (I travel out of town first thing Monday morning). Can I still use the reflector without the glass temporarily for the next few days. I am using a 400W MH bulb. Will there be extra heat generated onto the plants? Obviously the...

I have some 2 week old seedlings in an indoor grow under a CFL. Still waiting for the vegging stage when they'll go into the tent with an MH. But I get great sunlight during the day Should I set them outside during the day for some nice sun exposure?

What is bagseed?

I have seedlings now in Rapid Rooter pots and I'm ready for the next stage - transplantation to soil. I plan to do LST in a grow tent. Do I put them into intermediate size solo cups, or should they go into the gallon size pots? What is the appropriate final size of the pot anyway so I can...

My first grow attempt was ruined when the seedling got too lanky stretching for more light. Now I am using Rapid Rooter and a special CFL light for seedlings. After the tap root appeared using the wet paper towel method, I planted them into the Rapid Rooters. They spend about 6 hours in...

My local hydroponics store sold me a compact fluorescent growlight. It ilooks like an incandescent socket, except larger, and its 125 watt. Question - if the seed is still in the soil, does the light do any good? My first set of seedlings did not get enough light, and thus became lanky. So I...

I'm doing my first grow but I read somewhere that there is no need to so 24/0 or even 16/8 during the vegetating cycle. What you can do, using a timer, is to have 12 hours on, and then "sprinkle" a few minutes of lights on during the dark cycle. This will save on electricity costs (including...
