    Mini Scrog, GLH Spectra 120 LED, AK48, Semi stealth. AkA too close for missles...

    New pics are here! Growth has resumed and somewhat exploded once again, though leaves are light in color. I believe i know the issue and will be remedying it shortly. Below we have before and after trim/weaving/pruning pics. I am confident that this was the last trim/weave as i am out of...

    Things to Grow

    What about the next stepping stone? Mushrooms! I grew some about 10 years ago now when spore prints were available in a liquid suspension in a syringe. Now you can buy a bag that's ready to go, work on your part really.

    I missed the top pic, but will get that tomorrow with others. I have been watering with lower strength nutes and water at 6.0 and the growth resumed nicely. Te one branch I was waiting on just hit the screen so I think I will flip here soon. Pics tomorrow, advice on fill more or flip will be nice

    PH problems with Roots Organics Poting Soil straight out the bag

    All interesting info. I have since been feeding at 6.0 water and ignoring runoff. Since I last posted I have seen growth resume nicely, I'm about ready to kick the scrog into flower yummy. Check my journal if you wish, updated pics tomorrow.

    No Windows, Basement...

    As a side note, make sure you watch your humidity as it can cause mold in basements if they aren't built well.

    No Windows, Basement...

    Basements are great to grow in. In almost every other room if you use 600+ w hps your going to have to get creative with cooling. In a basement, however, the natural coolness (mid 60s kinda like a cave) helps greatly to keep temps down. You still need to monitor temps of coarse, but it just...

    Ducting/lighting excuses

    Dryer hose for ventilation, could also say old portable fireplace if the guy doenst look smart. Over the oven hood as well. lights, a bit harder. best to not be seen. possibly a light out of your old storefront or a security light haha. gl with that though buckets, remodel nutes, old garden...

    wow, i didnt mean for all those pics to pop up. ohh well haha Few more thoughts. The cabinet is not light sealed as you can see. i am a legal grower and simply havent bothered sealing the front yet. The scrog screen is connected to the tub so it comes out with the pot very easily and makes...

Medium: Soil, specifically Roots Organic (not a fan, fighting ph) Nutrients: DynaGro if i can get them to cooperate with the soil. If not, i have ionic on hand. Space: appx...

    First Grow. Micro Stealth Grow

    I like what you have made, it looks great! Suggestions, perhaps make a small reflector for the big cfl, light will only bounce so well off white paint. Other option would be to line the back 3 sides at least with the automotive windshield reflector, they are easy to work with and do their job...

    cfl vs hps- which is hotter

    250w hps and a cool tube with a basic small fan will keep temps down and vastly improve your grow

    PH problems with Roots Organics Poting Soil straight out the bag

    Mine was right out of the bag. Nothing added. A small layer of hydrotron at the bottom. For the last hour i have been progressively lowering the ph of the water and no matter what it comes out at about 7.5. The roots are pretty well through all the soil, so not sure how i could really amend it...

    PH problems with Roots Organics Poting Soil straight out the bag

    I thought i would post up a quick question here. I have roots organic soil in my scrog box, approx 3 gal, and recently my growth has stopped. A little discoloration, but i believe that was nute burn early on. Anyway i thought I would check the runoff ph, as the last batch of plants i grew in...

    How much should i expect to yield?

    3 ft plant? not a great amount of light. i put my bet in at an ounce, with a few good nugs here and there. if you can get some more light in there it would fill out nice

    New Lighting Schedule

    I'm curious how the lint was damaging the plant if left on for the extra hour? I mean if its damaging the plant at all i would think there are other issues to work out before the timing. Oh and if your interested in alternative photo periods i would do some searching. It has been posted a...

    My First Grow: Northern Lights

    Thanks for the info on your screen. I will look for shelving like that i really like it. Since my next grow will be under my legal plant count I am thinking of doing a scrog under my spare 400 CMH. I'll be watching this one for sure.

    **ULTIMATE LED TEST** *GLH Spectra 290* VS *Blackstar 500* VS *Hydro Grow LED 336X*

    Right, so if the light has a greater spread from a wider angle lens(for lack of a better term) then the footprint is achieved at a lower height and in fact by raising the light outside this spec the light is bouncing off the sides(assuming that there are reflective sides) and losing power there...

    **ULTIMATE LED TEST** *GLH Spectra 290* VS *Blackstar 500* VS *Hydro Grow LED 336X*

    Did you ever establish what height you are putting each light at? The stationary 55in thing caught me a while back, just curious if it has been revised. If i were comparing nutrients, i would follow the directions on the bottle, wouldn't you?

    Lost all my clones. About to harvest. Risks associated with taking clone now?

    Thanks once again for all the great advice. I am taking a few clones today, up to the legal number for me (not entirely sure how unrooted clones work, so staying legit). My bubble cloner has had some pretty fast turnarounds so we will see how that goes too.
