FROM THE READING IVE DONE ALL THE "OLD-HEADS" LOVE THE METAL HALIDES FOR FLOWERING THEY MAKE SMALLER BUDS THAN HPS BUT MORE POTENT. I FOUND THIS QUOTE AND I KNOW ITS AGAINST THE GRAIN BUT I THINK IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!"people change to hps because they don't know any better. Its what someone told them was correct. The red light is going to grow slightly bigger LESS POTENT buds because the trichomes/resin is dilluted by the slightly bigger nugs. The rise in plant material is not proportionate to the rise in trichomes. The halides pump out uvb which force the plant to insulate and protect themselves with more trichomes/resin. Believe that. If you want connoisseur nugs, you grow with halides."

AGAIN THIS IS SOMETHING I READ I DIDNT WRITE IT!

That is where i run into the decision i have to make....... Im gonna be growing to make some money once i cet an hid so i wonder how much the difference is between mh and hps yeild?? Have u come across any good info? If it is a small difference i yeild id go with the more potent nugs hands down but if the difference is great id have to go with QUANTITY instead of quality..

And here in oh about 10 mins new pics will be up... And none of that amateur porn this time, its the nitty gritty goooooooooood shit.!:blsmoke:

nice pink hair!! my barbwire is a pink haired indica! they look awesome!
Why thank you!! Yeah the last pic i saw of your pink Barbwire was yummy looking! This ones hairs seem to be going darker than pink, almost purple.... The rest of the plant is dark dark green with alot of webbed leaves...(A sign of indica domminance i hear)

And i cant wait till im only running clones in the blooom room, those first plants from seed are just too small. It was mostly due to me not having my system dialed in but i feel good about the next groups. My clones i put into flowering are already bigger and more branched out.. Thanks again for checkin it out! Peace:bigjoint:

Yup i never thought about the humidity that much cause mine stays around 50% so i dont have problems... But i read in another thread the serations and tips dry out because they are trying to pull in moisture but cant!

This is good to know. Have you run into any good simple ways to raise humidity?? I have just been hanging a wet cloth in front of my fan and its been helping but not enough.

I hear a tupperware full of water ..freeze a big block and put it in front or behind the fan:) i also saw a humidifier for 19.99 at cvs...might do the trick! The block of ice will bring temps down too..that was how rich people used to get "air-conditioning" back before freeon and ac units

Yeah i had water in cups too but i think i need to find a container with more surface area for the water...... But forget all that im all over cvs if its that cheap... I bought one for 59.99 3 years back but never used it and gave it away :(
