Ahhh yes 2nd topping was 1 week into flower. Its white widow so from what I read, at least from Nirvana, its a sativa dominant strain with some indica in the mix. Its pretty bushy though.

i never thought of a vanity fixture! I want to mount them verically with y splits so the run up 2 sides of the plant, 2 bulbs per socket 3 sockets per side. So by the end i will have about 100w more on top than the sides combined. PLus the top light is LED so a bit more light efficiency to...

Wow, that said more for me than all of the google searches and forum searching I have done (well over 15 hours worth). THANK YOU! +rep for you good sir!

Thank you, Another quick question, so throughout the grow I topped the plant twice, the result is 4 main tops that look strong, healthy and have tight node spacing. I am 5 weeks into flower and every branch has white hairs all over (although tight buds havent formed yet). My tops are by far...

I have read about that on this site. I couldnt figure out if it was Gotham Hydro making the competition claim, or was it Lighthouse, the actual LED manufacturer? But I am right there with you, trust is huge! Especially in this arena. I just decided to trust the journals I have read on RIU...

So I am using a dr60, about 2x2 floor space, 5ft high. Right now I have 4x23w 4x42w and 2x55w all 2700k cfls. The issue is that today my blackstar 240w led panel will arrive and I want to add it to the light mix and not be replacing the cfls. Does anyone have any DIY cfl mounting ideas? I am...

Hey RIU'ers, Just a quick thread here to say that I ordered the blackstar 240 from Gotham Hydro on ebay. I have read on RIU some pretty up and down reviews of Gotham Hydro, regarding honesty, and customer service. I just want to say, for my part, that the customer service has been most...

I am sure that its totally cheap and totally bomb, but I dont think I could rightly use battery acid for a consumable. Even if according to chemistry it doesnt make a difference... people use battery acid to make meth, bad energy there.

I have read that article and was very very interested in it. At the moment I am growing a white widow under about 300watts of 2700k cfls (actual watts). I am growing in a DR60 tent, first grow ever so I am just running one through start to finish to get some experience. Then I plan to do a...

Can I use rice wine vinegar to lower ph? I havent any distilled and balsamic is of course expensive. Are there any hidden benefits to using it or is there a detriment to the plant?

So here's a noob question... Suppose I buy an LED panel, when the bulbs reach the end of thier lifecycle can I just replace the bulbs or is the panel in its entirety rendered useless?

Bravo and well said!

can you make a thread explaining the procedure for making a 2000 lumin LED? That would be really cool!

I have also read that Miricle-gro is not the best option nutrient wise. I have never used it so I cant say from personal experience, but if you read the forums most ppl dont like to use it. If you have a decent local nursery they probably have a soil mix that is inexpensive and better for your...

Hi there, I came across this thread because I am thinking of adding some LED's to my setup. I read that your local home depot only carries 100w replacement cfls, so thats 23 actual watts right? You should ask an employee at the home depot near you for the 42 watt cfl, I am sure they will have...

Awesome! And what a challenge to lay out!

quite, I for one had no idea this took place, and I dont exactly live under a rock either.

Yes, for the sake of anyone ordering seeds online, please DO NOT give away stealth packing methods. The reasons are self evident I think.

seriously dude? Did you read the post I was responding to? I hardly think I can be called a jerk for merely addressing points made by the previous poster. The point of "the typical attitude in Seattle"? Well if you go up to a "typical" Seattleite, and talk shit about the city they live in...

dont you think the fact that an entire sub forum is dedicated to cfl's lends some validity to their use in marijuana growing? The hundreds of successful cfl grow journals as well? Just a thought.
