Hey 420fied! Glad to see you posting here, and I agree, this is a great thread. I bet you'll out produce your last scrog with a similar setup. Hope you'll let me know if you put up a journal again... (I was OBXGardener on the old site) I defoliated on my last vertical grow, and it seemed to...

I like it here too - it's nice not to worry about everything I type. I've only talked to the admin once, and he was cool as hell when I first got here... I need to look around the site more - there are some other CMH grows I think... one horizontal where he was growing just 4 plants but big...

Thanks Brother - Much respect back. Your threads were always easy to moderate... you pretty much took care of the assholes without getting in pissing matches... a lot less shit to edit lol! Glad you are posting here.

I know I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it all from start to finish... it's really only been this last generation of lights that can put out real buds... I'm sure a lot of people remember all those 90watt beating 400 HPS claims. Mike is the only one I know that's never done that. There...

I've been experimenting with using coco coir on top to stop algae... I guess it does use up some nutrients, but not sure how else it harms anything. If anything, you need more media on top that stays dry... I've found with my 2.5 gallon pots, the top inch stays dry enough to discourage algae.

That's a tough one. Doesn't sound like mold conditions... so I don't know what it is. When in doubt... flush with R/O water...

Almost looks like some kind of disease or fungus... pics are kinda blurry though. What are your temps and humidity?

You and Setting Sun definitely are rocking the dirty hempies and the LEDs... I'm hoping Sun will do his CMH vs. HPS comparo on this site... kinda over that other one... :)

Hell yeah! So glad I don't have to get on a proxy server to watch your grow anymore!! Glad to see you my friend, and I am subscribed.

You will stunt plants if you try to grow them that close together - the roots will not have enough space. If you want a plant to look like that, FIM cut it and then take the four branches and weave. I would keep multiple plants at least a foot away from each other at the bases. Roots don't...

I wish I had organic advice for you, but the only thing I've found that actually gets rid of mites is Hot Shot No Pest Strips. You don't have to use them for long - put them in a plastic bag after a couple of weeks so you don't breathe the fumes. Now that I think about it, pyrenthins are...

I've made it through a grow without infecting other plants with female pollen from a plant popping naners everywhere - but you have to pinch them daily - get your fingers wet first in case they burst, wet pollen doesn't spread. However, it's more than likely that those bagseed genetics come...

Mostly you have to wait or find a very active thread if you want quick responses. As for your cannabutter question, I'd guess it didn't get hot enough inside the mason jar, or didn't lose enough water to absorb the THC. Personally, I'm not a big fan of edibles - even when I do feel something...

It looks like they've been in 12/12 for about two weeks, but there's really not sufficient light - get those CFLs as close as you can to the plants without them touching, and add as many as you can afford. I'd guess another six weeks till harvest - but you can be sure by getting a 60x...

I've done it, and my carbon filter was not good enough to eliminate the smell entirely, so I had to route the exhaust back outside. If I were to try again, I'd use two carbon filters and two fans - one inside the grow room just acting as a "scrubber" recirculating the air through the filter...

I HIGHLY recommend these No Pest Strips - they are the only thing that will absolutely kill every mite. You just can't hang out in the grow room for hours since it's not good to breathe. Still, it's SO much better than getting buds wet with sprays IMHO.

No problem - hope I can help.

I'd use Hot Shot No Pest Strips for the spider mites (better than neem and as good as pyrenthins IMHO) and spray for the mildew. If you have to spray the bugs, I would not mix - never know what will react with what. (edit) - Milk will work for Powdery Mildew... here's the link.

Digital ballasts are about 100 watts more efficient - magnetic MAY be more reliable, but definitely wastes about 100 watts as heat. I have a digital 600HPS which has failed once, and a 400HPS magnetic that I got to use with a CMH bulb - thing seems built like a tank.

First tip for new growers is to not overwater - it's the most common way to kill young plants. Wait until your pot feels very light. Second tip is to not spend money on nutrients - there are many cheap ways to supply them. Look up OC+ controlled release fertilizer. Third tip - make your...
