    Seeds Start Faster Than Clones

    I've needed to know this a couple of times and internet searches have not yielded definitive answers for me. I've started clones and seeds at roughly the same time twice now and the seeds are at least two if not three weeks faster than clones in my experience. This is true for both strains I...

    Replacing 5 Year Old Blackstars

    I"m currently running two 240W LighthouseHydro BlackStars along with two A51 2014 XGS-190s. I noticed today that half of the lights on one of my BSs are out. I may be able to fix (I have a 3rd one that died awhile back for spare parts), but these are getting old (5+ years now), and I want to...

    Please Confirm A51 Url

    I'm about to order from A51 at http://a51led.com/ and I wanted to verify that this is the real site address. I looked at the sticky for mfgrs here and I didn't even see them listed. You can only buy using paypal so I wanted to validate this address. Also, if you think I'm making a mistake...

    Solar Powered Grow Room?

    I'm moving to a remote location that is subject to hot humid summers and freezing during the winters. The power company wants 20K (not kidding) just to run the lines to my property. I'm seriously considering going stand-alone solar, especially given the fact that I can get a 30% tax credit for...

    To Reveg or not to Reveg...

    I have 3 plants that are producing leafy, thin buds and three that are producing fat buds. 4 are blueberry and 2 are black pearl. The black pearl was from seed. The blueberry was from clones. I had one blueberry plant do this last grow and I thought it was the environment. Unfortunately I...

    Half the LEDs Out on One of my Blackstar 240 Flower Panels

    I have 3 of these. I wonder how long the other two are going to last? I bought these just over a year ago and of course, the warranty is only one year. I tried these by themselves on my first two grows. Since then, I've been running an HID with two of these on the sides providing...

    Bend One Tall Cola Down or Keep Lights Higher?

    Three weeks into flower, I've got one plant with one tall cola that's about 4 inches above the rest of the canopy. I tied it down so I could lower the light a few inches. I was going to pull it down a little more each day until it was even with the next highest part of the canopy. Is this the...

    When To Pull Male(s) To Prevent Complete Seeding

    I'm keeping one male to harvest some pollen from for selective bud pollination. I'm 9 days into 12/12 and I just chopped all but one of my males. This is the furthest I've ever let a male get and I'm amazed at how quickly this guy is getting nut sacks. What I want to know is when do I need to...

    Ready to Chop?

    This is blueberry 47 days from switch to 12/12. It had pistols in about 10 days (not 100% sure). I've read this a 42 day strain. It looks mostly cloudy to me. I have a 60-100x hand held microscope but it's a bitch to use. These are camera shots blown up. Thanks in advance.

    Earwig!

    No not this: This: I was watering my clones this morning and I saw this shiny black thing barely sticking out of the soil. I went to grab it with my finger and it ran over to the edge of the pot and disappeared in the coco. Man, just thinking about it is grossing me out! So the question...

    Is Transplanting Always Stressful?

    I've read in numerous places (books, forums, etc.) that transplanting is stressful to the plant. I've transplanted several times now and the plants seem to take off in one or two days, loving the new space. I've never really seen any signs of stress.

    Save Dropping Fan Leaves During Late Flower for Making Edibles?

    I'm four weeks into flower and I have lower fan leaves dropping off. This happened in my last grow too and I'm not really concerned. However, I'm wondering if it would be worth saving these for making edibles? When i harvest, I save all the trim leaves in one pile, and all the fan leaves in...

    How Many CFM To Cool 600w HID With Outside Air

    My room is 3.5w x 7.5l x 6.5h. I'm currently running LEDs but I want to try HID on my next grow. The room itself is already vented with a 720CFM 8" centrifugal fan that pulls air in from the rest of the house and pushes out back into the house. There's also an A/C vent that pumps cool air...
