Building a motherbox. All walls white (2'x2'x2.5'). What is the minimum number of CFL's and watts needed to keep a mother alive? Will one 6500k 100 watt equivalent be enough? Plan is to throw it under a HID for a couple of weeks when need to stimulate growth for clones. Appreciate any advice.

Going to make mother grow boxes and would like to paint the inside white. What kind of paint will adhere to plastic containers? Thanks.

I'm thinking about getting a GPS/navigation system. There are so many brands out there... would appreciate any recommendations. Was looking at the Garmin StreetPilot series, but am far from making up my mind.

Thinking about adding a water pipe (I haven't had one in years). I've only used sliders in the past, but a lot of the designs I'm looking at have carbs. Should I rule out carb-bongs or are they ok? Worried that someone is going to hold it at an angle and unknowingly spill water on a rug or...

Pot may hike risk of psychosis, study suggests - Mental Health - MSNBC.com But: "Several authors reported being paid to attend drug company-sponsored meetings related to marijuana, and one received consulting fees from companies that make antipsychotic medications."

First time flowering with 100%-known strain. Package says 7 weeks of flowering. Is that 7 weeks from the switch to 12/12 or 7 weeks from first sign of buds/flowers? Thanks.

I am in late flowering now (trich's are 3/4 clear, 1/4 cloudy). For reasons beyond my control, I will have to cut the light for most of the 12-hour light time on Saturday. Question - is it better to harvest too early or let them go a day without light and put back on normal schedule? Any...

Is Purple Haze still in existence? If not, would Silver Haze be the closest strain? Appreciate any thoughts.

Live in a pretty high-humidity environment. Is it worth it to drop over $100 on a dehumidifier for flowering? Would it also be worth doing for the drying phase, or will a significantly less humid environment dry them out too quickly? Appreciate any advice.

I've been using enhanced spectrum bulbs with what seems to have been fine results. Would a MH conversion bulb make a big enough difference to warrant the switch for vegging?

Growing 9 mystery bagseed plants. 3 confirmed males and two probable. I know that's not a bad ratio, but LST'd the hell out of these guys and the 3 confirmed males were the biggest and bushiest! Oh well, I guess it would take away from the joy of a nice grow if everything always turned out...

Does perlite affect the accuracy of a water meter? A few hours after a saturating watering, the meter shows a 2 out of 4 reading (1 being the driest). I've tested the meter on perlite-less soil, and it seems to work fine. I am using 20% perlite 80% Foxfarm Ocean Forest. Is that too high of a...

I've read a lot here about keeping water ph in the 6.2-6.8 range. Should I lower the ph of my distilled water, or is 7.0 good enough as long as I check the runoff? Would appreciate any insight.

Ok, I'm using Foxfarm Ocean Forest with 20% perlite. I think I overwatered the hell out of my babies when they were still in cups (used same soil ratio then). All leaves drooped and turned yellow. Transplanted to 3 gallon pots and now the soil dries out very quickly - the bottom of the pots...

I have a three strains: Hawaiian Indica, Skunk, and Super Skunk (about 8 seeds of each). I would like to sacrifice a grow to producing the best seeds so I'm covered for years in the seed department. Am I better off traditionally breeding only one strain or should I crossbreed strains? I am...

My first attempt with my new 600w HPS with spectrum-enhanced bulb. I have a 8" can fan exhausting air out of a 6'(w) x 6(l)' x 7.5'(h) room, but my temperature is still in the upper 80's. My new plants are doopy and have brown spots randomly in the leaves, which I think is heat burn. The 600w...

When determining temperature, do you measure near the canopy, the ceiling, half the height of the room? Thanks in advance for any replies.

My duct fan (8" diameter fan) is really loud. It's not the fan itself, really, just the sound of the air moving. Does anyone have suggestions on how to reduce this sound?

It seems that the 4 ft. x 4 ft. mark is the grey area between a 400w and a 600w system. All thing being equal, I would prefer the 600w; however, I do have two concerns: 1. Heat. It seems that many of you with a 400w can get away with using a standard fan to cool the bulb. Will a 600w...
