your growing into a new C, that's what really matters. because life is about learning from our actions, good or bad, and evolving into (hopefully) better people for those actions. gotta hook up soon mang

nope, not the LEDs. they actually cover the color spectrum much better then an HPS or MH, but they lack the penetrating power and raw energy output that you get from an HID. there are some other differences, but none are related to how a plant uptakes & utilizes nutrients. i totally agree...

with DG, we found that you can use foliage pro (I think they are renaming it) for veg->bloom, saves on costs of having 2 types and cycles through the bottle quicker. it was originally designed for NASA to grow plants in a space lab and has just about the fullest range of nutes (macro and micro)...

if going the tea route, brew it up like T said. bennie tea will really help em take off and help nute absorbtion a lot. high bio life in the soil likes under 450ppm feedings, higher levels can kill em (esp using synthetic nutes). when on the full feed schedule, tea once or twice a week and boost...

looking really nice! for feeding, will you be going by PPM readings (meter) or off the nute chart? if using a meter, I'd start @300-400 and give it a couple days to see how they react, then go from there. if using a nute chart, just starting to feed I'd start @1/4 strength of what they are...

unruly smells can possibly lead to a ticket 'public nuisance' or some such thing. but with growers, it's gonna be hit or miss if they are friendly or angry when you touch on the subject. the easy way IMO, is to write a letter (print it so the handwriting can't be traced back to you, in case they...

i use plastic up to the 1/2gal because it can be a PITA .... but i'm looking at a new design for 1/2 and 1gal smarties that eliminates the transplant issue - instead of a sewn edge, it overlaps 1/2 way around the pot so you just open er up and transplant

strain dependent. some are sweet and pleasant, some can smell like raw diesel fuel, while others like mountain berries or road kill skunk. this is one of the pleasures of cannabis, it has the ability to mimic so many of lifes other aromas. I can say there has only been one variety that I found...

i do 3gal and 5gal fabric pots (sometimes, I'll veg heavily in the 3gal and then place that pot buried 1/2 way into a 5gal right before or at flowering - this way it has a new area for root growth with 1/2 still above ground for fast growth/exchange as the bottom 1/2 catches up) with finishing...

you can only fill the space with so much plant material, this is where your limiting factor will be. 6 plants can be enough, but you need (a) enough light (b) enough space. a single 2' cannabis plant may yield 2 ounces, where the same strain @ 6' tall may produce a pound (454 grams). but that 6'...

I think you'll be way happier in the long run with those T5s, and so will the girls :) for the one in the middle, I'd consider mounting it horizontally (if there is room) at the mid canopy level so that it covers that whole mid-lower area with light. you can see how well they penetrate in those...

my wife sewed up our original batch of @120 pots, using pond liner fabric (geo fabric for the engineers out there) that we bought in a roll at home depot. (it was cheaper to go this route than to buy em for the warehouse - worked out to @ 2-3$ per pot). we re-use ours (haven't bought a new one...

smart pot/fabric pots are absolutely the way to go. i'll never go back to any other pot, and I did a lot of testing vs. other pot types

for heat load/penetration, instead of CFLs, maybe consider a single/double 2' T5. same heat load roughly, but better quality light and deeper penetration

if you like how the DWC ran, it can be done with your setup - just use your existing pump (or buy one specifically for pump draining), but add a T shut off valve - this way you just pump out the old into an external container and dispose of it how you will.

she'll slow down in a week, maybe 1.5, so you should be ok. if needed, you can always bend the top over (carefully, using light finger strength and slowly bending until it goes over a 90deg angle. done right, it can increase yields too) or pinch the top - either way will slow it down some...

damn bro, your glass addiction is SIC! can't wait to help with your support session ;)

looking good. I'd trim the necrotic tips

looking real good bro! clones look healthy, I see you cut the tips off (a good thing, most noobs miss this). the girls in the cab look happy too, looks like the vertical growth is starting to take off (which means the roots are happy and well into establishing themselves in the bigger pots). I'm...

420- I've done both with success. play around, worse case scenario ... they die and you take another cut ;) bubba - you can use a piece of plain white copy paper to cover the light for a couple days (lay it on top of the clone dome, or tape it across like a shield), this diffuses the bright...
