    Looking for ideas

    the other day I stumbled across 3 of these.... I would like to use them for side lighting in my tent but have no idea what I could possibly hook up to these or if it would even be worth it. Any pointers would be much appreciated!

    Deficiencies and PH in pro mix hp

    This second grow I decided to go with hp and some trace elements I added. Plus some lime. I've, throughout the grow, had issues with potassium deficiency in 2 of 4 plants. I've adjusted my water to ph 5.5 since day 1 for this grow, using vinegar. But when I test the "soil" it's always at 7. I've...

    Aftermath from first harvest and a big ole WTF??

    At the end o January I've harvested my first grow and I'm happy with it. Feminized seeds of 3 strains. Cheap equipment but an ok yield. Cured it all and have been smoking/eating from each strain. And today this happens..., I'm looking at the jars. All looks good. I'm looking at the Purple Kush...

    Citi cob built

    After weeks of reading and being admittedly a pain in the ass, I got my lights figured out. Seeing that I use a 4x4 tent, I'm going to build 2 lights with 6 cobs each. They will be 3 3500k 80cri and 3 2700k 80cri, in an alternating order. For a driver I've chosen the HLG-320H-C1400. I'm...

    Cob light color choices

    If you would build a light which you are planning to use for full cycle growing, what of these color temps would you pick?? White @6000-6500k? Warm white @3000-3500k? Full spectrum 380-840nm? Or a combination of either one? Please tell me which you would choose and why. I'm planning to build...

    Grow medium amendments

    I have read on numerous occasions that promix hp is to be treated like hydro when it comes to ph'ing water. I've also read that when things are added to it it will have to be, eventually , considered soil. When I mixed mine, I've added bone and blood meal as well as a little more lime and...

    My first cob light

    I have been pondering this for some time now and like to hear the opinions of those who use them. The idea is to either diy or get a timber kit. Right now I'm running a blurple which has served me quite well. The question now is whether or not to keep the blurple for veg and get a cob light for...

    What did I do wrong with my grow medium?

    The other week I started my second grow, using 3 parts promix xp and 1 part perlite. My plants all look droopy, and have been for over a week. The mix dries really slow and seams to take in a lot of water till I get any run off at all. I wondered if the droop was from the water but I ph it to...

    Where the hell are the roots?

    I finished my first grow a while ago and just shoved the pots with the rootball in the corner to dry. The product turned out great and the people I'm doing this for are pretty damn happy with it. I even managed to meet and exceed the seedbanks yield forecast. But there's always room to improve...

    Gram per watt?

    i understand the basic theory behind this, but one detail eludes me. If I put 2 plants under a 270watt light and 4 under another 270 and let's say the light with 2 plants produces 1 gram per watt, will the one with 4 produce twice as much? Is it per plant or how is this stat applied? Or is a...

    Flowering times?

    So, since I'm on day 70 of flowering (flipping to 12/12) and the only amber trichomes show on leaves, I decided to ask the bank I got those beans from what their flowering time goes by. Flipping lights or whatever else one can use. They said flipping to 12/12. According to them I should have...

    FF soil trio feeding inconsistency

    i just noticed that the feeding schedule on the website and the instructions on the bottles are quite different. Since I'm getting to the end of this run, I'm not sure what to make of it for the next run.

    Trichome question

    I have read a lot of different things about what to do at the end, before harvest. Some made sense, done did not. What I am curious to know is a how long it usually takes from the first amber trichome to harvest. See, I got nothing to compare or go by. Are we talking days like up to 7 or is it a...

    Riddle me this...!

    so, I watered my plants the other day and when I checked runoff I had a ph of around 6.5. And a ppm of 1500-1700 depending on the plant. When I watered yesterday, ph went down to 6.2, just the way I wanted it. I watered without nutes and a ppm of around 500 (no, I'm not drinking that). One...

    Automotive

    with the development of LED in the last few years, I was wondering if anybody ever tried using automotive bulbs. They're available anywhere, got decent watt/$ ratio and fixtures are at every wrecking yard/autoparts place.

    Sudden issues with two plants

    well, one of them started to get leafs turning yellow a week or two ago. Really random at the bottom only. It's a Purple Kush and is being fed Fox farm soil trio and cal/mag. Now, since a few days, leaf tips on the top are drying up and curling down. Also the leaf yellowing is progressing. I...

    Bushy vs. hight

    i was looking at my girls today,thinking how much they've come along with so little work. How my ideas and worries about not having enough height available havebeen unwarrented. Then I see pictures here of plants which exactly I had that worry for. My 3 plants have a canopy hight of roughly 36"...

    First grow on my own

    I did lose a little track but this is day 14 from seed. I took this two days ago and flushed them this morning, since my ppm was a bit off. I'm not sure but I think i have to transplant soon since I got roots sticking out the bottom.but I'll wait another week.
