    250 watt cfl question

    yo filthy, dont get a 250w CFL -- i speak from experience..... the lumens:heat ratio is silly. you're better off getting two 150w lights instead... not because of the 50 extra watts, but because the 2 lights together run cooler than the one big light..... even tho it's CFL - if any leaves touch...

    magically turn a MH into an HPS....

    i've mentioned this before, but havent gotten a response on it..... in the film/photography world we have things called gels that change the color temperature of a light to a desired result.... they're called CTO and CTB for orange and blue, respectively.... generally puts a 5500K or 6000K...

    cloning help

    so i tried cloning twice... the first time (on different plants) i chopped the top growth tips off around the 3.5week mark and put them in rockwool cubes with some roottech gel as per the directions on the rockwool (soak to 5.5) and the gel.... put inside a cloning dome under some extra CFLs...

    last chance here......

    hm that is interesting that you mention that, however i thought i handled the little babies fine..... for that particular crop it was on an aerogarden and i DIDNT germinate prior, i just stuck the seeds in and let her rip on veg with water/low nutes........ and i never actually really fucked...

    Custom Aero System

    hey there guys, so i'm regrouping from an all-male crop and as that was my first grow i'm going to go put that knowledge to use and make my own aero system (not the damn aerogarden anymore) -- i've got all parts and have a good idea how to put it together, thanks to this link projects.bootstrap...

    pretty little tops

    ok i just snapped this pic, gettin slightly worried, but as this is my first grow, i'm not 100% sure this is intersex.... it definitely LOOKS like it could be.... but that would mean i now have TWO seperate hermie plants.... and i just figured that would be crazy unlikely..... what do the...

    pretty little tops

    well shit that's no good.... i had similar thoughts when i was taking those photos but i felt that the likelyhood of an intersex plant on my very first attempt was a slim chance.... especially since one of the other plants (the runt of the group) has one budsite in the upper canopy that is...

    can i get a second opinion?

    trust me they're completely different, it may look similar in extreme closeups like that, but the structure of each leaf is vastly different as is the growth characteristics and the node spacing and everything else... the up in the air one in real life (hard to capture on camera) i definitely do...

    24hr-18/6-16/8??

    not so my friend, in polar regions during the summer solstice it is continuous lighting -- and before you crow that weed doesnt grow that high, ask mogie about ATF or matanuska tundra whether or not the cells benefit from the extra lighting, who knows - get a microscope and cut off a leaf from...

    CtO and CtB; a thought

    i may have already asked this but i dont believe i got a response for it... if any of you are familiar with film set lighting or photography you will recall the lighting gels used on the studio lights, Color Temperature Orange and Color Temperature Blue; CtO and CtB for short.. these also then...

    i'm guessing they're fems from all the reference photos i've seen, but here are a few shots of the plants in question (only real name is trainwreck) first 2 shots from the same plant, and then the last 2 are 2 diff plants to make a total of 3 plants... please let me know which you think they...
