    Can lights be too close for optimal coverage/penetration?

    I just moved my 400W HPS a few inches above the canopy and I feel like I get better coverage. I have a cool tube and have been running the light literally inches off of the top of the canopy with the plants directly under the light. However, I feel like the buds at the edges of the reflector...

    pics of indica / sativa difference

    I got 4 seeds from a friend, unknown strains just seeds aquired over time from good buds with random seeds. All germinated and turned out to be female! They were all grown with the same schedule and nutes...everything exact. I believe 2 to be indica and 2 sativa. The indicas flowered much faster...

    How often do you check your grow?

    Just wondering how often everyone checks on their grow. Personally I look at it like 2-3 times a day. Very few days it will only be once.

    Possible heat stress?

    So I don't ever post in this forum (plant problems). Usually I just ride it out and let them grow. After all, they are weeds right? :) However, I just upgraded to a 400 watt MH/HPS and really want to do this grow the best I've ever done. I want them growing as perfect as possible the whole way...

    Keep this 400W or trade for the 250W - grow space too small?

    So I bought a new ballast and reflector today to upgrade from my 150W Sun Systems setup. Bought it from someone on craigslist. When I met him he had 2 units in his car. One with a exhaust fan on top and a glass lens, the other without both. They were both 250W systems, so he said. I bought the...

    Suspect pH problem...shed some light?

    I started these girls in the beginning of October and just turned to flowering about Nov 1st. At first I thought it was underwatering because I was watering every 3-4 days and they were drooping a lot and stunted, so I changed to every other day. At first they seemed to improve, but then the...

    CFL Harvest! Check out PICS

    Finished trimming today ( I think I'm done) Chopped Saturday night, did an initial trim, and finished it up before. Let me just say trimming fluffy/airy buds sucks balls. There are still a decent amount of leaves in there but I'm not going to go OCD on this plant, and a lot of them have decent...

    How does Wednesday sound for chopping? pics!

    Wanted to do it tomorrow, but I think I might wait until Wednesday. Why the random day? I'll be away from tomorrow until Wed., and I feel like by then it should be good. Pistils are about 40% brown, trichomes are starting to turn amber. Wait longer?

    Up for debate - two issues

    Ok guys I want to hear your opinions on two different issues. 1. How do you feel about a day or two of darkness directly before harvesting? Do you think it does anything? Do you do it yourself? and 2. I've been reading some people saying not to trim their harvest until it has dried out a...

    Planned on harvest today, gonna wait a week - what you think?

    Been in flower since December 4th. There were two separate weeks where I went away and the poor plant almost died, but came back to life. The pistils are starting to recede and some are turning brown. All trichomes are cloudy and some appear to be turning, although I have a hard time telling...

    Too early to tell sex? *PICS*

    I think it may be a little too early, but I have some pics if anyone can figure it out. The first pic (unmagnified) looks to me like pistils, but then the second pic, which is a different part of the plant, looks like it might possible be a little male flower starting. I am going to wait...

    is this stealth box big enough for HPS?

    Hey all, I'm currently in my 3rd grow using this box, four CFL's, and flora grow/bloom. Sadly, 2 of three were females and had to be killed so I'm starting some seeds in with the 12/12 cycle. Anyway, is this box big enough for an HPS? I'm kind of tired of the airy buds the CFL's produce...
