I bought an HID thinking the heat would be enough to keep the cold winter (its not even winter yet) temps away. Boy was i wrong. My temps ranged from 50F to 95F. Yup, big problems. Instead of tearing my hair out setting up a heating and cooling schedule i bought two Lux Win100 Thermostats. One...

I bought an HID but i think i'm going to ditch it and go back to LED. I have a 135w Blackstar lighthouse hydro and i was wondering if its good enough for a tent thats 3ft wide, 2ft deep, and 5 ft tall? of course all mylar reflective inside. I'm only going to do 2-3 grows max in it. If its not...

I have a 3ft wide x 2ft deep x 5ft tall tent that i have in an attic that experiences very significant temperature fluctuations. It has a 400w non-vented hood which i purposely got to keep it warm in the winter. Its dimmable so i can run it at 200w or 300w as well. The tent also has a 400cfm 6''...

Okay so I've been hesitant to start a journal because i usually pop reg seeds and i'd hate to upset everyone (including myself) to make a journal and eventually find out they're males. I like to keep things very simple with my grow, temperatures being my only enemy. I tried germing an unknown...

I just calculated what my leds cost per month and it seems really low ( i know leds are efficient but didnt think they were this efficient) So I have a 135W blackstar led. For arguments sake because of the fans and everything on it lets say it draws 150w. Also presume i am doing 24/0 and 12/12...

Its been 5 months since my Nirvana white widow has been sitting under a 135w blackstar 12/12 and it has yet to show pre flowers. Thats quite a bit of time for me to figure out if its even a male or a female. Does it usually take this long to show preflowers under LED? I saw preflowers after...

I wouldn't consider myself much of a newb but since i've upgraded from a closet grow to a tent grow i need some opinions since i feel like im starting from scratch. These grows are all in soil. FF light warrior from seed then transplanted to FFOF. My first successful grow was in the corner of...

I purchased a 60(h)x36(w)x20(d) grow tent. a huge upgrade from by 3'hx2x2 box. My concern is that the area that i grow is subject to relatively high temps in the summer and very low temps in the winter. i've had pretty good results with my 135w led in the summer since there is low heat output...

I've been looking for a good DIY for a carbon filter and realized either way i would have to start from scratch. Then i took a step into my garage and saw something that i think will make the build very easy. Only issue though is the outlet is 4'' and i would either need a 4'' inline fan or a...

I have two plants going that have been flowering for some time. High temps i think prolonged the flowering quite a bit but theyre getting there. I was hoping they would be done by the time i leave but i do not think it will happen. Ill be leaving in 3 weeks and i will be gone for 3 weeks. Now...

for grow areas where height is an issue, it is possible to use a shallow yet wider pot to grow instead of standard pots? basically what im asking is if roots will have a problem growing horizontally in soil when it cant go downward any further. example: would a plant grow just as well in a...

These are already purchased i just havent had the time to put it all together. seems full proof: 5 gal bucket from home depot: $2.60 http://www.homedepot.com/p/Homer-Bucket-5-Gal-Orange-Bucket-05GLHD2/100087613#.UcuiH_mkr8Q lid $1.28...

I have two plants in a box roughly 2x2x2ft. i have a 135w led lighthouse hydro along with 6x23w cfls. 12/12 schedule at night. i have 2x120mm fans set up. one intake one exhaust. each fan advertises 74cfm (if my math is correct that means whatever air is in the box fully changes every 6 or so...

So i found this crappy cabinet last summer and didnt know it would ever serve a purpose. I left it outside for the winter and it definitely suffered. Let the resurrection begin! There was a wooden shelf in the middle which i removed and i gave a light sand to get the white paint to stick. Went...

I'm looking to set up a new grow box out of an old cabinet roughly 2'x2'x2'. I was thinking of carrying on with CFLs but i want to see some dense bud as opposed to light fluffy ones. I am considering switching to 150w HPS system. I figure more lumens per watt and its a lot easier to set up than...

im exploring my options since i'll be able to use more room for a grow. im going hps from cfls. if im only going for maybe 2-3 grows at a time, what would you recommend for hps wattage? i'm thinking something low-key like a 250w from ebay. saw them for about $130ish with ventilated hood. it will...

I'm in the second week of a new seedling in MG seed starting soil (the last time i'm ever using this crap). I measured the runnoff with my milwaukee ph600 meter and it was veryy low. It read low 4.x's. I measured the distilled water i'm watering it with and it was at low 6.x's. I then measured...

i've been on here quite a bit but havent been very active. ive had three grows so far. first one ended terribly: went away for 3 weeks and left it under a light without a water source so naturally it dried up and died. Second one was somewhat successful, same strain as the first (kc brain mind...

I have a flowering kc brains mindbender that i decided to try cloning while its flowering. i decided to take 6 clippings hoping that 1 or 2 clones will take root. As of now it actually looks like all 6 are taking root. i have them on a 18/6 light to get them back to veg. my question is since the...

my seedling completely stopped growing. the little leaves turned yellow and sagged down. its still a little green but the tips are turning brown. its been this way for 2-3 weeks. is it dead?
