OK, I have 1 successful grow under my belt but still consider myself a newb. My first grow I tried popping the seeds directly in their final container. This eventually worked, but I did waste a few seeds in the process to heat issues and impatience. I now have 3 happy and healthy looking Bomb...

I ask because I don't know. I see a lot of new growers having issues with coco. What are the advantages of coco over a good soil? I will probably always be a soil grower because my job sometimes requires me to be out of town for 2-3 days. I can usually plan for this and adjust my...

Let's say a female plant is showing traits you like, so you take a few clones. You reverse one of the clones with CS and use it to pollinate one of the other clones. Is this a good idea? Or will this somehow be genetically messed up?

Is that even possible? Order placed on 4/30. Shipping notification on 5/1. Received order today. Crazy. Could there be a stop in customs with it arriving that quickly? My first order with them took 12 days to arrive, with a postal holiday included.

I'm sure this question has been asked, but searching provides a bunch of unspecific results. I am thinking about producing fem seeds using the colloidal silver method. If all I want to do is a quick seed run, can I go 12-12 from seed, or should I veg a couple of weeks? Not interested in any...

Damn cheap camera takes better macro pics than regular pics. No amber trichs to be found yet. Hoping I can let her go a few more weeks. I know how to check trichs and all of that. I'm maybe just proud and wanting to show off this picture. :) Sue me. lol

First of all, please be honest and come right out and say, "you're a dumbass", if that's what you think. I'm am big boy, and won't take it personally, as long as you don't take a "FU, but thanks" response personally. Deal? :) I am a small-scale hobbyist grower, and always will be unless...

I have been messing around with a COB panel design using Vero 18s. I have a 5 COB version built, but I believe I am changing my plans and going to an 8 COB version for 2 plants. The plan, which will probably change, is to use CFLs for vegging, and then throw this up. I have also toyed with...

With this new format showing uploaded file sizes, I am seeing a lot of 1-2+ MB files being uploaded. If you resize them to 25% they will upload a lot faster, load a lot faster on the user end, look just as good plus not take up as much space on the RUI end. win-win-win. You can do it in Paint...

Hey, just got a scope and looked at the trichs on my oldest plant. Trich color percentages are in the thread title and are obviously estimated. Just a few amber trichs in random places. Autoflower at about 9 weeks. I will check again next week, but how fast do trichs normally change?

Thinking of doing a scrog for my next grow. Haven't decided yet between that and supercropping +LST. Question about scrog: Do you go over and under the screen, or continually pull back through and go under?

This is all preliminary research. I'm finishing up an autoflower grow, but will be growing photos next. I'm thinking of taking a few cuttings to use one as a mother plant. Since the mother would always be in veg, can I get by with an inexpensive Ebay LED? Any suggestions? I am also open to...

Vision Super Skunk auto day 47 in Espoma organic soil under CFLs. Some LST. I like how she looks so far. Showing a slight N deficiency on the lower leaves. She has only been given Dyna Gro Bloom the last 3 waterings. Will give her Dyna Gro Grow (higher in N) the next watering. I believe it...

Right now, I'm planning to build a 4 COB panel using Vero 18s in a "triangle" pattern with 1 in the center. This will be a light for 1 plant. Forgive my awesome SketchUp skills, but it will be laid out like the picture bellow: With the As all being equal, what are your thoughts on spacing...

Maybe someone has asked this before, but it was something I thought about last night. Just curious if a PoE switch would work for a driver for a small COB like a Bridgelux Vero 10. I have experience working with PoE switches for office phones, security cameras, and wireless access points, but...

I have read that you aren't supposed to go crazy with autos. Just did a little mild LST to one of my plants. Bend her more or see how she responds? She is 24 days old. Poor girl is kind of my guinea pig. I have a couple others of the same stain, but a little younger.

Yes or no on these Ebay Heat Sinks and Fans? The price is right. :)

Trying to do more preliminary research. My 6 Bridgelux Vero 18s from Digikey just arrived, but it will be a while before I build my array. I have a 3 plant CFL auto grow going in the tent at the moment. I have read that it's not the number of plants, but the size of the grow space that is...

Not looking for info about HPS I am considering a couple of 300w LED (190 true watt) panels for my next grow. Right now I am growing under 18 x 23w CFLs in my 2x4x5 tent. CFLs: 18x23w = 414 true watts. LEDs: 2x190w = 380 true watts. Considering plant health and production, would I be...

Just doing some research into LEDs for my next grow. I'm currently running 3 plants under CFLs. Digital HPS systems worry me a little with the RF interference and power consumption. Could go magnetic ballast, but I am not asking about LED vs HPS in this thread. Is a 400w LED enough for...
