    Controlling my Plant Size!! help

    Forgot to address this, the tops are the biggest buds on the plant for sure. That's the part you see most of us posting in our pics cuz it's the prettiest and the biggest.

    Controlling my Plant Size!! help

    I think it's too late in the season to start topping, at 3ft and in September I gotta believe you're flowering already. Anything you do now may stress your plant. Most of the techniques I've read talk about topping and supercropping in Veg. If you're in flowering, IDK. If not flowering yet...

    Thoughts on switching from 400w HPS to all CFLs?

    I gotta ask...is this from your experience/experience of others or opinion? For HPS...how big is too much in a 4x4x7 room with a 430CFM fan? I've looked online but can't find any credible advice so I'm turning to the experts here. +++rep for the help... I'm making it rain rep like dollas at...

    why is it smelling so bad??

    What does it smell like? (sorry for the dumb question but stink isn't a word I'd use to describe weed LOL) Does it smell of weed or something else? My carbon filter has a smell to it and it's not weed. My wife says it's a sweet smell but all I think of is antifreeze.

    Thoughts on switching from 400w HPS to all CFLs?

    That's what I have now...about 12 actually. 6 on one plant, 4 on another and 2 for side lighting on a bushy AK47. It does the trick and with the light so close it seems more efficient. What about T5's? I read the lumen output is stellar and with little to no heat it can almost sit on the...

    Thoughts on switching from 400w HPS to all CFLs?

    Thanks for the opinion. It is appreciated. I always thought it was lumen output that you should be concerned with so it's my bad for not adding that. The CFLs boast 1750 lumens per bulb but I know that's the highest testing output stamped on all bulbs. But this is why I'm skeptical of...

    Thoughts on switching from 400w HPS to all CFLs?

    Hi there RIU brothers...I currently have a 400w MH/HPS light in my 4x4x7 flowering room and it's too small. My 430CFM fan keeps the heat way down so that's not a concern but I'd love to hear your thoughts on either a bigger HPS light VS. CFLs. I have 10 100w equivalent bulbs in there now and...

    Auto lemon skunk problem

    That looks like too much nutes to me, maybe some more info on your setup would be helpful. THe necrotic leaves suggest a build up so back off the nutes for a while, test your PH and go from there. One thing to remember about auto-flowering strains is that since they're driven by genetics more...
