i assume you're doing this for flowering? in that case you want 2700k (warm) cfl's. they're basically only good for one cola so get one for each side branch you are trying to enhance. no adapters per se you just need a normal light fixture that an incandescent light uses. you can get really...

no such thing. maybe this will help you understand your luck so far: https://www.rollitup.org/attachments/general-marijuana-growing/172676d1219013161-formula-number-females-stats-.jpg the top row shows the number of seeds total, the first column shows the number of females you get, so you read...

1. what is the temp of air you are sucking into the room? you won't get much better than five degrees hotter than entry temp no matter what you do. 2. you need something in the range of 3 to 5 room exchanges of air per minute to cool a room. you've got barely more than one room exchange per...

take care of your bugs first, but be a little careful using leaves to measure if you need more water. an overwatered plant will have the leaves curl down while on an underwatered plant the leaves will wilt limply, eventually all the way through the stem in severe cases. the most foolproof way...

actually, you're reading a combination of radiant and ambient temperatures if you don't cover the thermometer. and i said to cover it. you're right as far as you go, but radiant heat (ie infrared) is one of the primary ways a ballast sheds heat, along with convective cooling from air passing...

did you read my post? where did i say plants did not sweat? the point is when you say "the way humans work a breeze will cool us off but its not the same for plants so if your gunna do the hand check you should just turn your fan off while you do it" is dead wrong advice - the breeze (which in...

i don't know where to start, this is so wrong. YES! animals shed heat by sweating - the very act of sweating reduces the temp of the body with no wind whatsoever. cooling via air flow is a completely separate mechanism than cooling through perspiration.

you are still completely safe.

going forward - is your light 150 equivalent watts or actual? best bet is its 42 watt actual/150 equivalent watts and that is not near enough light for your plants once they pass the seedling stage. you're going to want 75 actual watts per plant for a decent yield.

you can go to any home depot or similar and get any fertilizer that has a relatively high "p" compared to "n" and "k" on the "npk" formula found on all fertilizers. that means a fertilizer that is relatively high in phosphorus compared to it's nitrogen and potassium. use half the recommended...

yes, 63 is too low for the lights being on. what is the air temp in the room the tent is in? i assume it must be less than 63? if so, then your easiest option is to not vent the light and to lower the speeds of your exhaust fans.

1. use feminized seeds or purchased clones. 2. read up on fim, topping, LST and other methods of training your plants to bush out as much as possible. 3. choose your strain based on size and ease of training. 4. your light choice is usually limited by the ability to cool it. 2 600 watt lights...

as long as there is some green, the leaf is helping the rest of the plant grow. it's a different matter if you want to chop lower nodes on a plant to direct growth toward the top colas - that's one of the few cases where pruning makes sense.

your grow is going to be lost among space heaters, furnaces, fireplaces,etc for heat and just about any appliance for electricity. you have a lot more to worry about from your neighbors, friends and ex's than you ever have from running a light. try 4 1000 watt lights and somebody might notice...

unless you are trying an exotic pruning scheme you should never remove leaves as long as they're healthy. instead of cutting, gently pull a dying/dead leaf, if it comes off with the tug, great, otherwise leave it be as it's still helping the plant grow.

you can flower anytime, but the longer you veg the bigger the plant and the greater the yield, within reason.

you can go to 12/12 lighting any time you want, even from the beginning of your grow. the longer you veg the bigger the plant and the greater the yield, within reason.

how big a plant do you want to grow and are you going to be using feminized seeds? your schedule means you'll have 6 female plants in flower at any given time so you have room for plants that are about 2.5 square feet in either tent. if you plan on using normal seeds you need more space than...

there is no set answer to your question. the plants are generally considered mature when the leaves stop being in a set of two and instead alternate with one leaf per node. eight nodes in 12 inches is a sign of a good grow to date. as for height, you could end up with anything from 2 to 4...

here's something that might help - http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/a...heet/index.htm - it's an a/c calculator that takes into account wattage of appliances as well as things like regional weather, southern exposure, adjacent air conditioned walls and the like. can't vouch for its accuracy...
