    Anybody Want To Double Their Yield?- Desertrat's Top and Prune?

    do i really need to explain to an adult that there are limits to a good thing? perhaps you should save sophomoric arguments for sophomores. you need to bump up your game an additional half decade's worth of advanced education and two decades of scientific experience if you want to have a debate...

    Grow room Set Up

    if you want to run with enhanced co2 then you want to create as self-contained an environment as you can. vent the lights with air cooled reflectors using outside-your-room air and duct it through the lights and out of the rooms without mixing with room air. then you need a co2...

    Hydro to soil

    look closely at your plants - are the leaves drooping including the stem all the way to the main stem, or are the leaves curling from the leaf tip in? drooping is probably too little water/transplant shock whereas leaf curling is probably too much water.

    the heck is up with this eh? anyone...?? never seen this before... personally.

    you're right, that is not a large enough pot for the size of plant. not at all sure that's your problem but you are probably rootbound.

    Help Needed ASAP!

    best you can do is keep the room as humid as possible - now's the time to throw in a humidifier if you have one laying around. but frankly, they're probably toast.

    Well, that didn't take long

    point taken. but there's a difference between the libertarian party and what is libertarian philosophy. if you hold libertarian political beliefs and believe a fetus is human then it is completely consistent to believe the government is exercising appropriate power by limiting abortion. the...

    Flowering lights left on 7 days straight : (

    for future reference most timers have a small switch that changes the operation from timer to always on. on my timers the switch is not even marked, you have to try it both ways to see which is auto. you are probably better off having done what you did than say having an hour or two of light in...

    Ventinlation for new grow rooms

    this formula is good only to let you know how much fresh air to bring in to have adequate levels of co2. the formula does not account for how much air you need for cooling. you need up to two air exchanges a minute (10x your estimate) for cooling. for instance, i have one 440 cfm fan cooling...

    Well, that didn't take long

    the libertarian defense of anti-abortion laws comes from the perspective that an unborn child is a human being and no other human being has the right to take its life away, just as no human has the right to take away an adult's life. i'm not agreeing with this, but it does fit logically within...

    What do you think of this set up?

    phyzx is right, those bulbs are definitely not 50,000 lumens. m a y b e 5,000, but that's tops. you want 2,000 lumens per square foot for vegging. not clear what you're doing with the 424 cfm fan? aren't you exhausting using this as well as the 6" duct fan? unlikely your $30 duct fan is strong...

    First "real" grow...DoinIt2Gether and doin it right (hopefully)

    you'll get more out of this site if you ask specific questions. do i have enough light? is ph 8 too high? and it really helps if you include pics even if you think you've described the situation well. if you want general opinions on your grow you need to list all of the important conditions -...

    White Widow, Pineapple Chunk, C - Train, and BagSeed Grow! + LST

    best cfl grow i've seen in awhile - very bushy plants you typically see with hid. excellent control of light distance. do you have enough light to properly flower that many plants? to keep up the pace you've started you want to be around 7,000 lumens per square foot of growing area during...

    Anybody Want To Double Their Yield?- Desertrat's Top and Prune?

    there used to be a growfaq on this site, put together by members, that described the technique under the heading pruning. rumors are the mods are re-working the section and will add it back. probably without this technique, given the anti-pruning bias here.

    Anybody Want To Double Their Yield?- Desertrat's Top and Prune?

    here's the problem with your theory - it's a theory. on the other hand i have five plants of two strains that did double the yield by simply cutting 7 or 8 fan leaves. i'm an r & d engineer and know just a little about how to run an experiment, so i'm pretty confident in the results. and not...

    luckily the law takes precedent over rand's beliefs. as per my previous post, if you don't like the existing law that puts societal needs above private property rights i invite you to move to a country that lacks such laws. otherwise, your intellectual objections are noted and filed. live with it.
