    Is Northern Lights or Super Silver Haze Possibly an Auto Flower?

    If its a photoperiod strain it won't grow real nuggitos until you swap to 12/12.

    150w hps what do you think? +rep

    I used to own the HTG 150, you'll want more firepower than that. Also I would never put a bulb that was not rated for the specific ballast in question in said ballast. That just doesn't seem safe to me from a fire hazard standpoint. If you're able to remove the heat buy a 400w air cooled hps. If...

    Square vs. Round Pots

    I totally prefer them having used regular pots. I use the air bags, it eliminates root circling and air prunes the roots as it grows. They're cheap, recyclable, and I've gotten better mileage on my plants with them. Mine are cylinders sure if they come in cubes.

    Need help from experienced LED growers!!!

    It's probably a good replacement for a 250w hps. I don't use blackstar but I own panels that draw 130w of operating power and have time and time again said those are equal to if not a bit greater than the growing horsepower achieved with a 250 hps. A lot of people on this board have used...

    Pro Grow LED Run #1, Super Cali Haze, Onyx, Blackbriar, and Blue Diesel

    As advertised two full oz and then some in less than 70 days. Most of the water weight is gone and she's tipping in a 68 grams of which I'm sure I'll still lose a couple through burping/curing but she's dry enough to be in a jar curing at this point. The smoke the same as before - a good...

    Autoflowering GJ: 3x Sweet Seeds Big Devil 1x Afghan Kush Ryder

    My sister grew some autos in two gallon air pots, they got rootbound at the end. They grew fine just an overall smaller plant and yield. On the other hand I have seen people do this on purpose and put a lot of autos in smaller pots under a wide area and get a quick harvest using more plants x...

    Am I the only person here convinced that schwag has amazing potential?

    I've grown bag seeds man, there is potential but not as much potential as a well bred strain with proper genetics. They exist for a reason.

    Cheapo 14 watt/225 diode LED panel: Are these useful for anything?

    If you're only going for that small of an area I'd suggest either the 100w GLH 12 band spectra, the PG 90 you mentioned earlier, or one of the 2012 blackstar 135w (probably 100w actual output) ufos. For a small additional investment either of those 3 would better serve you compared to the 90w 2...

    Cheapo 14 watt/225 diode LED panel: Are these useful for anything?

    yes it is good enough to do that for sure, but there was no warranty on it. I got it from LED Wholesalers who has a "F" better business bureau rating. It is most def from China and for me and my led investment I went ahead and sold it as I didn't want to be out $120 bucks if the light died and...

    Pro Grow LED Run #1, Super Cali Haze, Onyx, Blackbriar, and Blue Diesel

    the caramel really only had a couple more days before it should have been chopped anyway and any minor loss in final yield I just lost will be more than made up by the final weigh in on the blackjack. I'd really love to beat the local autoflower geek consortium record if I can which stands at...

    Pro Grow LED Run #1, Super Cali Haze, Onyx, Blackbriar, and Blue Diesel

    now have the 250 on the super sativa and the new 180 on the la bella afrodita. 260w of led output blasting the blackjack. Caramel hanging with a half arsed trim. I have company coming today so I have to hide it back in my bonus room and didn't have time to do a full trim job. I'm going to...

    Pro Grow LED Run #1, Super Cali Haze, Onyx, Blackbriar, and Blue Diesel

    I had the 3 leaf mutant blackjack under the new spec 14 band, which ties in nicely with this part of the story. That plant is now so big that I had to make an executive decision on the caramel. I cut it down a bit early because the blackjack was so tall and wide that I ran out of space in my...

    Beware of EBAY LED auctions

    yeah but when we get people stomping on our led journals I'd wager eight times out of ten its some pissed off grower who was duped and bought some of this crap under the assumption (ass outta you and me!) that all led horticulture lighting is created equal. I agree it's been widely outted for...

    Metal grow cabinet build for 1st grow

    hey man if you use the trimming method I detailed in my journal you'll be able to get the smaller one to bush out big time, I'm looking at the plant in pic 3 in your last post. Basically remove the fan leaves that are inhibiting cola growth once an established cola has sprouted from the leaf...

    Beware of EBAY LED auctions

    my brother actually bought one of the sunlight systems 14w 225 panels for wintering his regular outdoor plants. It did work, until half the diodes stopped working. He was unable to get in touch with anyone to honor the warranty or replace. I'd be scared of anything that doesn't have a fan...

    Cheapo 14 watt/225 diode LED panel: Are these useful for anything?

    I've used the 14w 225 bulbs from HTG, single watt diode 90w ufos from ebay (chinese dual band), 2w diode quad band 90w ufo, 100w 12 band 3w diode ufo (GLH Spectra 2011 series), and the pro-grow series from Hydroponics Hut. Having used all of these I eventually got rid of everything except the...

    Beware of EBAY LED auctions

    More or less yes. That is what I spent total on my four panels. Am I ultimately happy with my purchase - you bet. Took a tad less than $1,000 to replace two 400w air cooled hps and about 400w of cfl side lights. Went from over 1200 watts down to a little less than 500w power consumption. That...
