    Experience with Purple Kush Indoors?

    im currently growing 3 purple kush plants that are a day shy of seven weeks into flowering. It is my first experience growing them (and growing any kind of marijuana, along with 3 other strains i have), but I've observed a few unique things about them. For one, they grow very dependent on their...

    Placing Order, Superthrive over Foxfarm?

    i use superthrive for new clones and a combination of superthrive (in lessening amounts) mixed with growbig and very little big bloom until I flower. I then use big bloom and tiger bloom throughout flowering, and molasses and fox farm's cha-ching product towards the last weeks of flowering and...

    150w HPS or CFL Winter Harvest Club

    I have 13 plants in 2 and 3 gallon pots under a 150w econolight hps and 650watts or so of 2700k cfls. The strains I'm growing are white widow, purple kush, shiva skunk, and hindu skunk. They are planted in coco and are being fed with fox farm nutes, molasses, and the occasional epsom salt. I...

    400w CFL grow

    ill even admit (being someone who decided to initially go for an all-cfl grow) that once i added even a relatively low wattage hps my plants took off and bulked up. heat management is not very hard. if AT ALL possible look into a hps light instead of cfls, or a combination of both.

    CFL Purple Kush Harvest!! Update 8 weeks 3 days!!

    very nice. from what it looks like, is it correct to see more purple towards the top of the plant, or is it just a matter of where the plant receives the most light?

    Skip the CFL's: The $20 150w complete HPS with ballast and bulb Link

    i received my 150 hps from econolight with bulb, ballast, and reflector hood yesterday. It hooked up and worked all fine initially, but today I wake up to find the fixture not turning on. It makes a buzzing sound when plugged in, but the bulb does not ignite. Could this just be a bad bulb or a...

    Skip the CFL's: The $20 150w complete HPS with ballast and bulb Link

    Well, right now my setup is staying cool because im leaving the door to the closet open at pretty much at all times and have the fan on 24/7. With the door closed for even a couple hours, the temperature skyrockets. I have 500 REAL watts of cfls running for veg right now. It is spread out...

    Skip the CFL's: The $20 150w complete HPS with ballast and bulb Link

    I'm currently vegging 13 plants (2 white widow, 3 purple kush, 2 hindu skunk, and 6 shiva skunk) and 4 cuttings I just took today under about 500W of cfls. About 80% of the lights are 5000-6500k, the rest are 2700k until flowering where I already have the bulbs to increase the wattage to about...

    CaB STeAlth Grow /w Cfl'S - FiRst groW - MisTy, Speed Queen

    does anyone else have experience using the air purifying bulbs? i think the most common ones are made by a company called TCP and the bulbs are marketed under the name fresh2Ti. i've found a lot of mixed reviews of them online and it seems like a lot of their ability to expel odors lies with the...

    what the cops will do

    yup, its the shit living in the east bay. cops all the way from oakland to hayward dont give a shit about weed. my friends and i actually got caught with a bong at a park last night around midnight and he just told us to leave. ive been in a few encounters with cops in the past year and none...

    Is it at all practical to grow in a dorm room?

    yeah its definitely seems to risky to do it in a dorm. dammit i wish i had an apartment. oh well, i guess i'll have to wait until next year. in regards to that, i've asked this question a few times but might have missed the response. if i do this next year in an apartment, what would you guys...

    Is it at all practical to grow in a dorm room?

    all the reasons for not going through with this are legit I must say. the only thing on my side if law enforcement was ever to get involved is that i go to uc santa cruz. as some of you may know, the city of santa cruz has passed an ordinance putting marijuana on the lowest possible priority...

    Is it at all practical to grow in a dorm room?

    thanks for the advice. im really have seconds thoughts given all your points, because you're right that the desire to grow is really strong. On that note, I have about 4 or 5 bag seeds that i've been storing for a couple weeks. Should I decide to do this next year, how long do the seeds...

    Is it at all practical to grow in a dorm room?

    thanks for all the advice guys, i appreciate it (both the discouragement and encouragement). as for the fan noise, i emailed a guy that specializes in carbon filters and hydroponic supplies on ebay and he said that the smaller type fans that are meant for small spaces emit a high pitched noise...

    Is it at all practical to grow in a dorm room?

    I dont plan, if at all, to grow openly in my room. Most likely it would in a small area of a closet or a cabinet within a closet- around 30"X24"X20" Yeah, realizing that campus police can search my room at any time, this doesn't seem like a sound idea at all, although I'm still open to trying...

    Is it at all practical to grow in a dorm room?

    I know this might seem like a stupid question, but in my dorm there is a decent amount of closet space and under-bed storage. The odor would be my biggest concern along with the size of the plants. Would I be able to effectively mask the smell almost completely, and how small could the plants be...
