    Has anyone gotten warranty service from Vortex fan?

    They email back with simple instructions about taking it back to place of purchase, but haven't responded after I called bull, and that I wanted them to handle their own warranty. Anyway, has anyone else had to do any kind of warranty claim with Vortex? They say it's a 10 year MANUFACTURER...

    Have I been measuring light distance correctly?

    I have a glass enclosed hood. I've been counting inches from the BULB to the canopy to determine optimal light distance. The bulb is 4 inches inside the hood. So I add 4 inches from the glass when I count how far away my lights are. I was wondering if maybe I should be counting from the GLASS...

    How long from when you remove a hermie will you know that your females were not pollinated? The hermie in question was removed from the room fairly early from when the hermie sacs appeared.

    Effects of Yield Vs Number of plants

    If you start flowering with four plants using a 400W HPS, and you reduce that number of plants in week 3, will you see the same yield as you would with four plants? Example: 400W with four plants, apx. dry yield 2 oz. each plant (8 oz. total) 400W with three plants, apx. dry yield 2.67 oz...

    Bubba Kush looks hermie, but not sure, see picture

    Greenhouse Seeds Bubba Kush: 2 days shy of 3 weeks in flower. My second grow. It looks like I have some balls, but I noticed other "balls" were partly opened and had a female hair or two growing out of them. What do I have here? Look close. Please, don't just say hermie without being sure. I...

    How to get buds to show more crystals?

    I was disappointed in a couple of my plants for not showing as many crystals as I thought they should. There were plenty of trichs to look at when viewing with a scope or loup, so they had crystals. But, one of my Northern Lights was advertised as loaded with crystals, but I didn't see any...

    4 Plants, where did I go wrong?

    All 4 of my plants aren't getting me STONED. A little dizzy and a short lived buzzed is the best I can get. Used ocean forest, all the fox farm nutes, a 400W MH/HPS. My first grow. Vegged for 6 weeks. Flowered a little past nine and ten weeks. They looked real done, maybe too done? Seeds...

    Who can tell when ready?

    Are there any experts out there that can see enough to tell if this is done? I know it's better away from the flowering light, but that's all I have at the moment. It's day 52 for the DNA Lemon Skunk. The seed breeder says, "...is most tastiest and sweetest if she is cut down between 50 and...

    Maybe 1 or 2 more weeks?

    Can you tell if these will be ready soon from the pictures under the light? I'm thinking maybe 1 or 2 more weeks? I'm waiting for a 30X jeweler's loup in the next few days before I can check the trichs.

    How to use the microscope?

    Ok, I got a Radio Shack $12 microscope. If I press the bud up against the opening in the bottom and view it that way, I get resin on the bottom of the scope. Is this OK, and not damaging the bud? How do you do it? Cutting a small piece off perhaps? Cutting anything seems more harmful than...

    Do deficient leaves heal?

    I just corrected a pH problem where some leaves had some spots from nute lockout, resembling a calcium or magnesium deficiency. Do these leaves ever heal when the problem is corrected? Or, are you better off just trimming the damaged parts off? If they heal, how long does it normally take?

    Ok, what is this leaf problem?

    Other than a couple of leaves, everything looks really good. It is happening towards the bottom of my Nirvana Northern Lights plant. I am using fox farm ocean forest soil, with all the fox farm nutes and supplements being used every other watering. Following the fox farm chart exactly...

    Why stop at topping after two times?

    Just wondering? I've heard it told that you should only top a plant twice? What if you supercrop AND top? Can't you pretty much just top all you want and get 20 tops or more? Example; Let's say I start out topping twice. That means I have 4 tops. Then, I start supercropping, and get an...

    Heat Difference Between a 400W vs 600W

    I have a 400W system for veg. Temps are averaging around 75 degrees. Question: What is the difference in heat between a 400W and a 600W in the same exact area? Should I expect a large difference, or just a degree or two?

    When topping a second time, I'm thinking you top BOTH growing tips, thereby making 4 total tops, correct?

    Hash Plant Haze Looking Askew and Small

    DNA Hash Plant Haze Feminized - Picture is at 8 days old. See the askewed leaves and how small? I took it out of the 10 oz cup with no-nute potting soil at 4 days old. It was transplanted to a 1 gallon container using Ocean Forest. May have been too soon. Maybe I stressed it, over-nuted soil...
