Hmm a few months late, I didn't notice the question sorry. My cloner is basically a shoebox sized storage tub, all dark black with holes in the too for clones. Inside the box i fill it with 5.5ph water, distilled or ro water. I have a small aquarium heater in the box that regulates the temp...

Well i promised a one week update, but alas the lights were out by the time i got home. So tomorrow it will be. In the meanwhile let me introduce you to another Ak48... It is a bonsai clone! It is around two months old, and very solidly rooted. She was taken from a flowering plant at...

Well i promised a one week update, but alas the lights were out by the time i got home. So tomorrow it will be. In the meanwhile let me introduce you to another Ak48... It is a bonsai clone! It is around two months old, and very solidly rooted. She was taken from a flowering plant at harvest...

Tell us, what ballast are you using? did you need to use a converter to supply the light with 120v vs the standard European plug? My money is on either your lamp is a 120v thus drawing half the amps through a 240v system and throwing off your meter, or your meter is bad, or lastly you bought...

I feel like the testing methods have changed as there are some heirloom strains out there that date back to the 70s that pack quite the punch.. To accomplish your goal I have two ideas. Firstly top the plant like planned and once tops are developed go ahead and pinch the stems between your...

Yeah I really don't care for the flavor or the smell, though after two months my first aks are finally smelling alright. Thanks for the interest, I will update this thread as well since there seems to be decent interest. Today marks one week of flowering, so I will throw up some pics even...

Well i called no one a liar, i simply said you were wrong because. well... you are. Here are pics of a 400w magnetic ballast, it is drawing 480W due to its inefficient design (being magnetic) it draws more than the rated 400w. This last one is with my fans plugged in and my hydro unit...

No worries. It's rumored that they will be making a pubicly available 600w CMH sometime too, so that's cool, although i have a digi ballast so no go. On topic, really not a lot you can do without touching the plant but, frankly, I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to touch the plant. A simple...

It would weed out a lot of undedicated growers(like me) as you would have to grow indoors and every time you enter it would be smart to shower and change into sterile cloths, that's work haha.

Umm...there are lots of 600watt metal halide bulbs. Or did I miss some sarcastic joke somewhere?

Ummm no. Sorry but no. A 400w standard magnetic ballast will draw about 460 watts. A digital will be closer to 400w. A 400 on a 12 hour day is 4.8 kw/hr. Multiply that by 30 for days is 144 kw/hrs. So multiply that by your rate, which varies a lot by area and company, and you get your...

Sounds good, I am really making an effort to be more involved with my journals and update more. If anyone has questions or picture requests at any point I macro a pretty good bud.

I have some killing fields on the way!!! I am planning a one or two plant scrog in a 3x3 ish space with a 400cmh. Anyone experienced with this strain think i will be too hindered by my 400 watts, should I just step up the wattage. I have an available 600, but it's over some aurora indicas at...

I know it's very exciting. I am hoping for some good results, mostly to proove to myself and further justify that the money i spent on this light will be of some use.

Lol what is that a post count bump? lol i posted that yesterday, not a lot has happened sinc then.

I guess it's the standard response of...buy a radioshack microscope. Like 8$ to check the trichs. Most plants put on their majority of weight at around week 4-6 and slow down a week or two before harvest, ones that finish around 50-60 days that is, some sativas don't even really flower for the...

Where do you grow? Ie in your room, basement etc. If there isn't adequate fresh air comming in you could be co2 deprived. Buy a cheap co2 test kit from your hydro store and check it out. Too early of a harvest is another option, but this many grows in I'm sure that's not it. Has is been...

Lol he said like six times, gh. But specifically you should let us know which line as they do have some different options. Have tou harvested yet or are you on a first run?

Be careful though, some strains will pop out white hairs right up until harvest day(and past it for that matter). I generally gague my harvest by when my hairs ar 75% browns. I generally check with a scope as well. Lately i have just been watching the hairs and waiting till everything has...

How are concentrates regulated so different from the herb and how so the dispensaries sell every form all fine and dandy?
