    Philips LED vs CFL

    Anybody tried the Philips LED's? They are 14w at 6500k and put out 1400lm per bulb , and just screw into the e27 fixtures, comparing this to the equivilent CFL which is 24w and 1450lm. The temp is alot lower with the LED . How far off the young plants should you have the LED? Still a good...

    Led and CFL combined lighting?

    Hey ,i have a couple of Hans Panels and jnust wondered if i could also use some cfl for the lower half of the plant as a substitute light? The Hans Panels seem ok but when the plants get a bit bushy you start running into problems. Would cfl's effect the LED effective light footprint overhead?

    Full spectum lights vs Other

    Is there any disadvantage in growing under full spectrum as opposed to a veg light and a flowering light? I assume thre must be otherwise it just seems like you are making it harder for yourself , dealing with swapping lights. Are yields lower?

    Is 2 gal too small for a grow?

    This is an 8L container , 2 gal. Is that too small for a plant to veg and flower in? It would be good for a smaller size grow yeah? These containers seem good as they are insulated for cold things to stay cold all day and totally light proof.

    Mylar and sunlight too much for a plant?

    Say I want to make up a grow box and plan to line the back and side with mylar that wont get direct sunlight unlike the front of a plant. Will this be worse for the plant or better? I plan on having non see through greenhouse type plastic on the front. ventilation shouldnt be a problem.

    Mylar alternatives?

    To build a veg box , would car sun shield reflectors be a good alternative to using mylar from a grow tent or is it the same material anyway? I just figure it'll be easier to cut square and neat over cutting apart a grow tent.

    Will pollinated weed be a problem later in the grow?

    I know I have had pollinated plants , shit happens. What happens now? Will the bud thatr has already developed deterioate and will it all just turn into a seedy mess or will it continue to bud up until the end of the grow like normal? Do seeds start developing once a plant has been pollinated?

    Veg under lights , flower under sun?

    Would a plant have a better yield if you had it veg for a month or so under lights and then when switching to flower put it outside to get natural sunlight? Would the end result result in better bud or will it most likely just send it into hermi mode?

    Nutrients during flower - do you really need them?

    As the topic says , is it that important? With the rates needed so low would you just be better off using good old plain water?

    IS this a pollen sack?

    Confused if I should have pulled it off or not. It's the only one and it looks like it has the white hairs coming out of the bottom nearest to the stem. Inside it was just green bits which I'm not sure were more of the immature hairs? NFI.....

    Sickly looking new plants

    Do little young plants sometimes just grow looking very abnormal and continue till they die? Some i've seen look so deformed if it were a human baby it would be one without 3/4 of limbs. I also assume crappy growing plants will deliver a terrible yeild too right?
