thanks. thing is, i think he's right in 99% of suggestions here to prune. had this same discussion with fdd over a year ago. one mind at a time...

who's more retarded, the person who asks the impossible question or the person who thinks he can answer an impossible question? mmm..... here's my guess based on what is a very good first grow you have going: 1. if you do no special training techniques (ie top, fim, LST) but continue your good...

ok, that was pretty specific :-| . depends on your temps. that's enough ventilation for bringing in fresh air but usually you need more ventilation to cool the room. first figure out your optimal lighting, then figure out how to cool it, and make compromises if needed if you have trouble cooling.

great choice of lighting for your space, assuming you have separate veg area?, if not, you should add one to your plans. not nearly enough ventilation for two 1000 watt lights unless you're using a/c extensively. you'll probably want something like a 440 cfm vortex fan with a variable speed...

i never heard of anyone actually buying the case - they just strip out a junked tower. if you're going to buy something anyway, spend the same money on a used clothes dresser and hollow that out - you'll thank yourself for all the extra space = bigger plants = more weed.

good enough to flower three females and start say seven unsexed bagseed.

no one here is going to start from scratch and design a grow room for you. instead, do some reading, come up with a preliminary plan and then we can help you refine it. check out the links in my signature below for some great posts for newbies. at the end of the day you'll want two grow rooms...

so, you want to know how to put a car in a shoe box? seriously, that is not enough room to grow any meaningful amount of weed - like you might produce a week's worth every 3 months - which is ok i guess for a hobby but it takes a lot of effort and not a little risk to play. if you insist on...

nice job topping. too soon to tell - white hairs or groups of balls - that's what to look for

the hairs are called pistils and they are part of the female plant. they grow out of the bud, slowly turn brown, and eventually recede back into the bud. if your other plants aren't showing pistils, you should check to see if they're male (little round pods in groups like a bunch of grapes)...

two 400 watt lights would give you just under 7,000 lumens per square foot - a very good amount of light.

it's not a temperature problem as i have had the wilting first occur in the seventies. i raised the temp to recommended co2 temps to see if that would help. it didn't. i'm working now under the assumption that the plants are getting hit with a super high amount of co2 when the generator...

agreed that any time you remove a productive fan leaf you are going to retard growth, especially locally, but that does not in all cases lead to lower yield. gardeners of all kinds of plants use selective pruning to enhance the growth of their plants, no reason weed would be any different. in...

your area is a little too small for a 1000 watt light (about 12,000 lumens per square foot). great space for a 600 watt light

perfect size for a 1000 watt light, but if you don't already have a separate veg and flower room i would divide the space.

all manufactured carbon filters are made to pull air through them. that's why they have a corse, white secondary filter on the outside to stop larger particles from clogging the carbon.

sure, but it's probably a waste of electricity as a 400 watt mh is plenty for most vegging situations where light is not as critical as for flowering

midday sun at the equator is 10,000 lumens per square foot. recommended light for weed is 7,000 to 10,000 lumens per square foot of growing area. for choosing lights: cfl 13 actual watts/60 equivalent: 850 lumens cfl 26 actual watts/100 equivalent: 1,750 lumens cfl 42 actual watts/150...

first, you need to make sure your space is usable for growing. minimum requirements are sufficient power and a way to ventilate the area. ideal would be to also have access to water. second, you need to decide how to maximize your space - in this case your space is adequate for a separate veg...

hey koi, post your results here and we can get a good set of results across different grow environments. i don't usually care so much about recovery time. i top any time after the fourth node up until the pistils start forming in flowering. thanks post some pics when you can tell the...
