    Topping question/advice

    The only disadvantage to a longer veg time is.....it takes longer to finally get to smoke your primo nug :). It's all about finding a good balance between vegging too little with not enough tops, or vegging too long with too many tops. Which definitely CAN happen. I showed my cousin how to...

    Topping question/advice

    Agreed, that's exactly what I was talking about. I forgot to mention, but I'm sure uncle Bens technique is still posted around here somewhere. It never let me down! You can also kind of mix that style with main lining for insane cola production.

    Topping question/advice

    Some great advice on here. Me personally, I would top at bout that size bc I like to only use the bottom 4 branches (sometimes I'll remove the first set and use the second or third) as what will ultimately become my four main tops; but usually I'll wind up topping at least 2 of those branches...

    Can someone tell me if I'm as retarded as the guy at the hydro store thinks I am?

    Oh yeah, and I forgot to add-- going hydro/aero is something I think all avid growers should at least try once. The growth is just SO fast, especially if you are coming from soil and/or organic. In my opinion the best thing you can do for yield is to simply have the fastest growth possible...

    Can someone tell me if I'm as retarded as the guy at the hydro store thinks I am?

    I was thinking the same thing as the second guy to post; whatever works best for you. Me, personally, I would have suggested the same thing as the guy at the store-- but that just shows that him and I have similar grow styles, with larger plants. I grow in a 5X5 space with 1kw hps and I can...

    See How The Government Is Spending Our Money

    Ahahahahahahahaha. I was as naive as you as well, my friend. voted for him the first time with great hope. The second time around, I still assumed he was the better option. Now I can't stop watching videos saying he's the antichrist. Talk about wasting money, hell he has spent more than...

    Re-veg: is this damn thing an auto?

    Dude, nice!! That's some pretty damn decent growth for a 1 gallon and that doesn't even look like a smart pot or anything. I see what you mean about the bud becoming necrotic; I bet you probably could have chopped a lot of that off around 8/9 weeks and it would have been quite smokable. Btw...

    Re-veg: is this damn thing an auto?

    Alright nice, yeah I figured that about the flower so I went ahead and pulled off most of the lower ones, which isn't much as you can see from the pic. So basically this thing should definitely reveg as long as I'm Giving it plenty of light. If it continues to flower I'm going to assume they...

    Btw, I just looked back at your op, and you said you had two 150 watt lights, that were 2200 lumens? Are they cfls? Generally a 23 watt cfl generates about 1500-1600 lumens, so you could use like 6 of those for every 1 of the 150 watt bulbs and have 7×1600 lumens instead of just 2200. Just...

    Dude, nice. So you're cropping out between like 2 1/2 to 3 pounds under those t5's?!?! I was going to mention photons after you said that about lumens lol. I've got a legal grower buddy in Colorado that doesn't believe me when I tell him I can get 2 pounds every 2 months with my 1k and...

    first grow

    Nice how many watts of t5's are you using? Do you have any idea how many grams per watt? Btw op, depending on if it's cold outside, adding very little intake could easily keep temps pretty low, especially at night with no light. You're in your first grow, but play around with different...

    first grow

    Dude, how long will it be cold for? A few more months? Sounds like a perfect setup for a 1000w dimmable ballast. I guarantee if you ran it 12 hours at night then the heat from the thousand watt would counter out the cold. I definitely recommend hooking up a fan and some ductwork to the hood...

    Re-veg: is this damn thing an auto?

    Okay, thanks a bunch man, that definitely makes sense I'm going to start vegging them on like 20/4 probably and see if it helps. I actually kind of had this idea and have had them on 24/7 for 3 days now. And yeah, it's definitely not been flowering for four weeks, he'll the plant isn't even...

    first grow

    To answer your question simply, YES. Honestly in a 6×6×6 400 watts isn't going to be nearly enough, depending on how big you want your yield to be. But if you are wanting to maximize yield for your space, I recommend getting a 1000w hps. They really would only need that much power during...

    Re-veg: is this damn thing an auto?

    Ok, so I've recently started my garden back up. I placed an order from attitude: 1 head band, reserva privada 1 alien fire OG, cali conn. 1 sour tangie, umm DNA? I think. 1 green crack, hso. 1 Jedi kush, I think it's from cali con. But I can't remember. And then a promotion pack: 2 reg...
