    400w vs. 600w for 4x4 tent?

    Well if your talking about PAR and not foot candles its different. Par Photo active radiation, you know the stuff that makes plants grow. When your talking about the human eye you can use lumens or footcandles which convert nicely. 1 FC = 10.76 lux/lumens. When your talking about par its a...

    400w vs. 600w for 4x4 tent?

    A higher watt doesn't get you more penetration, A 600 w would need to be placed further from the canopy at about 16-18 inches for a bare bulb, a 400 would be placed about 10-12 inches, so the light intensity at the top of the canopy should be the same on both about the same as the sun. The only...

    Czech republic

    I've visited there from the US. You weren't the guy who ripped me off for hash in Prague were you? Took me two whole days to find the chateau bar to buy herb because I though they were saying shadow bar. @ Oly, its crazy to be driving down with huge cliffs to either side of you on this road...

    Aerogarden and CFLs on the side(?)

    I know you posted this in hydro/aeroponics but why not start with a bag of miracle grow a pot and clamp light? You'll literally spend 20 bucks for a pot soil a 6500k bulb and clamp fixture. then just get light splitters for 2 bucks a piece and add bulbs as you go. 1) its not over kill but you...

    cannbutter users help me titrate please

    Well the rule I always went by was it takes twice as much as you would smoke per dose to get you high but it last much longer. I have felt a pit sick when eating it for a few minutes but nothing too bad. Maybe it has something to do with the v8 mixed with butter. I know my stomach wouldn't be to...

    Sativas make me parinoid

    Lol. @ what subu said I know its the bud that makes me paranoid. Though if you got a "package" coming in the morning or your behind on your work or what ever else you have to worry about, because it is so cerebral you can't help but over think about everything all at once.

    Sativas make me parinoid

    I feel the same way. I like it sometimes though. Definitely not when I'm trying to rest. I hate when all I have is sativa because I depend on med for sleep.

    Rust spotted leaves and curling with pics

    Its not a cal/mag def its just a calcium deficiency. It's probably not from the ph of the soil because calcium absorbs well in higher phs. Though 7.8 is too high. Dolomite lime available all over will help fix a calcium def. Its just has a slow absorption process tho so its not an instant fix. I...

    Few more size questions Yeeerp

    Yea that's pretty small. 6" would would be fine to start in. Its just that only four small ones when you go to flower its going to have a lot of wasted space. Especially if your just using reg bag seeds and could get males. Can you dim the ballast? If so I'd lst the four dim the light and flower...

    Is this a calcium def?

    I hear all a yall. Im not saying I'm right either. Just an observation. I still think its showing as a boron def tho. Lets face it boron def not a common problem, which would lead me to think that if it was a ph issue or too much of another nute or something this wouldn't be the only def we...

    Few more size questions Yeeerp

    Well first it would be easier to advise you if you told me the space and light you have to veg. Veggin under a hps is not a good idea. Pot size totally depends on the area you have to veg. Like I said roots aren't going to stretch too much more after flowering is initiated. I for one usually veg...

    Is this a calcium def?

    Yes but one is in soil and one is in dwc. I doubt he has a salt build up in soil. Plus no amount of any nute will cause a boron def to show with nothing else seemingly wrong with the plant. Its not like a Mag def where too much cal can cause a mag def. REally only seen boron def caused by ph if...

    Is this a calcium def?

    I still think its boron. What your describing happens when a plant is in veg. This plant is in flower obviously. In flower it closely mimics cal def except you can see it more middle off the leaf streaked as opposed to calcium def brown dots starting at the tips. Here's a boron def in veg and...

    Few more size questions Yeeerp

    Im assuming that's wxdxh dimensions. First off it much more efficient to pull air than push it. I'm also assuming the one inline for the light is pulling through a cooled hood/tube. So I'd double up on exhaust and and pull air from a passive intake. Make the cool hood pull air out from the room...

    reasons for topping?

    Yea I get you res but I wasn't comparing topped plants to left alone plants. Plants left alone when grown indoors have a disadvantage of Par fall off. No matter the wattage of hps you use you still only got a few inches of great penetration. If you put any wattage HID on a an untrained plant as...

    reasons for topping?

    Because you cutting off the most mature strongest fastest growing branch on the plant while simultaneously stunting the plants growth for 7- 10 days. I don't top anymore. It doesn't improve yield at all. Why would it, does cutting off a babies arm make his legs grow bigger? You can just lst it...

    Is this a calcium def?

    Maybe but it looks like its probably a boron deficiency. Since you feed cal mag. To fix you can use boric acid. Its available as eye wash at some stores like cvs and wall green. Start off small like a quarter to half teaspoon per gallon.

    Plants falling over

    IDk bout all that from lack of light unless it was for a long time. Are you sure they have a good amount water? I'm assuming your in veg. Sometimes I let em dry too much trying to stretch the roots to speed up air pruning. Tops sometimes bend over a bit when left too long. Have you tried just...

    Amber Co2 oil!

    You heat it on low and stir it up with a bent paper clip or something until it clumps together. Like I posted before. It can get confusing looking this stuff up though so I understand. People have different names and labels for similar types of hash. Like I believe "full melt" is wax if that...

    Help PLEASE?! Time to chop the frosty purple or wait?? Take a look at pics.

    Looks pretty good so far. I say no wait a bit longer. Plant still has a lot of brand new pistils. I guess a week, maybe 2. When its done you'll know for sure when you look at it. Its really up to you tho, what kind of high you like/expect from the strain. What strain it this and what day is it...
