    Just running cheapo no name 300 wts ( 120 dollars each on EBay..including shipping ) One light per plant. Have had them for about a year or so and this is usual size and yield. The sister plant to this yielded over 10 ounce ( wet ) and will probably dry to 8 oz. ( Just harvested 2 days ago ) It...

    Honey oil joints or how TPB changed my smoking habits and the pain forever...

    I'm not smoking anything but honey oil dipped joints anymore. After this summers harvest I was left with a lot of " junk"... a lot. I was going to melt it down for Shatter or make bubble hash. Then I happened to watch an episode of TPB. Season 8. So that night I made a big batch of 30 second...

    Holy crap ! That is one stinky ass weed. Lights off...my house smells good. Lights on..it's eye watering. Even after harvesting the tent still reeks. I'm used to growing sweeter strains, BB, SS etc...stuff that is easy to control smell wise. A couple scented candles was enough to mask the...

    Chem dogs live up to their names ?

    Meaning loving the nutes. Big time nute hogs. I read they do better hydro but I'm growing in dirt. Just got a couple of clones of Chem Dog and am wondering if I'm going to have to supplement foilar sprays for these 2 girls. I use pure Sunshine soil ( and a little sand ) so I don't have to water...

    So I just killed 6 new girls by over lighting them ?

    Since my guy lost everything in the flood this year I have to buy clones elsewhere. Bought 6 from a store a few weeks ago and they did like shit. 24/7 CFL Thought maybe it was too cold / too hot..under watered..overwatered...nutes etc. or something. Got tired of looking at them so I trashed...

    H2O2 bath effect taste ?

    Don't know where this really belongs, as it is not about a problem...but of one concerning taste. Guess people who frequent the Problem forums would know, but they seem to always be pushing chems. Mods feel free to move it and I'm sorry if it's in the wrong place. Anyway found PM on a few...

    Help..Plants don't like HPS.

    I vegged my plants under 24+ k Lumen CFLs ( 9 x 2800 ) and now I'm starting to turn on the HPS a few hours a day to get them ready to make the transition to HPS ( Also keeping the CFLs going through flowering for spectrum reasons.) But within minutes of turning on the HPSs the leaves start to...

    22k in CFLs ok for recovery for a week, 4 x 4 area ?

    I normally veg and flower under CFLs and HPS. During veg I have the CFLs right on top of the plant and the HPSs ( 3 x 150s ) a foot or so above the CFLs. Works ok. Left for a couple of weeks and asked a fellow grower ( a friend who is now on my shit list ) to come by and water them. He's...

    Leaves contain a flowering inhibiting hormone..?

    WTH ! Latest HT. Sept 2011 Page 59. I thought leaves were our friends ?! Now I've been hearing that during flowering to slowly remove fans leaves as these actually will slow the growth and potency of the flower. It's no wonder my SSH did so well, weight and size wise, because I was...

    Keeping water at proper PH ? !

    My problem is I can't keep my water buckets at the right PH. This is just plain water...my nute mix keeps pretty close to what I want. I fill a couple of 5 gallon buckets once a week for plain watering and emergency flushes. I add the PH down...spend a couple of hours fussing with it and...

    Plants recovering from Mosiac virus ? Possible ?

    I popped some seeds a while back just to see if they were still viable. I had not planned on starting a new grow until Oct. I just wanted to see if the seeds were still good. Out of 8 seeds planted I got 8 plants....so I just decided to throw them under some CFLs so I could do some nute...

    Start with Red ( Might as well throw White in here since it relates ) 3 to 4 weeks until harvest...hairs turning red kinda early ? Or is that the normal amount of time when it happens ? ( I don't remember them turning red until the last few weeks during flushing...maybe I'm just smoking too...

    Do You Play Music For Your Plants?
