    Gender - Any Guesses?

    Ive started a grow from seeds and am anxious to remove the males. These are just about 3 weeks now so may be too soon to tell?

    How Long before I switch to 12/12?

    Well I read that Quantum will triple in size. So here are my girls one week into flowering. Looking ok?

    How Long before I switch to 12/12?

    Thanks Sworth! If they doubled at this stage that would only take them about 1/2 way to the top of the tent. Why stop there? I'm thinking of going maybe another foot or so. Bad idea?

    How Long before I switch to 12/12?

    My first grow. Been vegging for about 2 weeks now. I'm using a tent outdoors because it's MUCH cooler than indoors and much easier to vent. Using a 600w MH, 2 intake fans, 1 centrifugal exhaust and a desktop fan pointed directly at the light. Temps have been staying around 70-90 at the canopy...

    The reason for a tent is to allow 24/7 light and speed up vegetation. Its also to allow a switch to 12/12 for flowering. You can't do that outdoors. And it's MUCH cooler outdoors here then indoors. Why increase the heat by placing the tent inside? And as I said the tent is outdoors but under...

    I have a grow tent something like 36x36x72 in size. I placed it outdoors rather than indoors with the idea that it is MUCH cooler outside. Its under cover so no direct sun at all. Also nice and dry if it rains. I got a 600w light that came with both a 600w MH and 600wHPS. Starting with 4...
