    Any Tips?

    What you got going on is just SO WRONG at so many levels. First and foremost you are putting your dads career in big time peril. Do not think that the powers that be won't hold him responsible. Oh, he wouldn't be CHARGED with anything, but he could forget about any promotions. Thats just one...

    Hps super bulb??

    Another case of sensationalism in advertising. All HPS bulbs emit roughly the same spectrum of light across the board, as do MH bulbs, whether its made by Phillips, GE, or Sylvania, or whoever. There are also what are known as "Conversion Bulbs", basically an HPS bulb with an added filament...

    Nutes for soil growers

    Sorry Brother, Watch and listen closer. They have re-invented the tire. Although they did say wheel, it's still the tire and NOT the actual the wheel. No breakthru wheel technology there.

    Nutes for soil growers

    Did whoever told you that offer any credible evidence to to support his statements? I'm not knocking your choice, believe me, I'd say they'll all work.I just find it interesting how people make their consumer choices. I'd say it's no better, no worse. But like you, given a choice of products...

    The Role of "Teas" in the overall scheme

    OK, I figured out that I'm gonna be top dressing my nutes (Guano, bone meal, etc.) Applying every 2 weeks. How does feeding a tea fit in here? Is a Tea supposed to be the primary nute source, or are they to be used in conjunction with topdressing or other nute sources? This grow is going...

    Any Tips?

    Did you wake up one day and say to yourself " Hey, I think I'll just grow my own pot today!"? Have you done ANY RESEARCH WHATSOEVER on how to do it? Most of us had SOME BASIC IDEA of what we were doing, and come here looking to refine our knowledge. On a more positive note, your plants don't...

    Nutes for soil growers

    How does dude know it's "WAY BETTER"? Does he grow personally? I'd say profit margins and commission rates come into play here. Thats the conundrum. There are SO MANY choices for consumers these days, it's hard (impossible) for people to know whats real. There is basically no oversight in the...

    Can u check trichomes without lenses?

    I can "see" the trichs with my 5x loupe, but not well enough to judge the color or percentage without my microscope. Radio Shack carries the "Pocket Microscope" for like $12. Surely you are within driving distance of a RS. Even if you have a couple hour drive to get one, it would be well worth...

    Can u check trichomes without lenses?

    I have heard that theory all my life. Yeah, you could go by that, get a GENERAL idea, and end up with So-So weed. You could also just go by the time (8 or so weeks of flowering) and get about the same results. The only real way to zero in on the ideal time to pick is by observing the trichomes...

    Male plants

    8 days? They should be alot bigger and bushier than what you have now. Put them into some 1 qt pots (at least) ASAP. You wont be able to tell sex for at least another 7 weeks, if not longer. Get the brightest flourescent light you can find, and put it about 2" from the top of the plants, and...

    UV -C for scent control?

    I didn't see U/V C anywhere in the ad. I seriously doubt UV has any effect on odor. Now the "ionizer" might give you some odor relief. All this hype about odor can have a newbie (like me) running crazy and paranoid. I was really freaking as my plants got bigger. I was convinced that in a week...

    farmaldihide myth??

    I already am skeptical of anyone who calls themselves 3M!!! But on topic, if dude could do that, he wouldn't be asking that question. Heres one for your other thread, KingSpade.

    MH bulb in a HPS Ballast

    Well.............NO joy!!!! There were no pics in the link, and the description was for different wiring than mine. I can get a MH bulb to fully light but it goes out in about 5 min. I have 5 400w GE "omni-glow" lumineres, adapted for remote ballast, and if it isn't a recommended application...

    RRick, +rep 4 U!!! Thanx. I will get right on that today. I'll let ya know how it goes. Dirty, I thought about that. But I ended up with several new MH bulbs, and tried them all. At first I thought my ballast had gone out. It TRIED to light the bulb at one point. I think it's all good tho, 'cuz...

    MH bulb in a HPS Ballast

    My HPS lights came with MH bulbs. They were salvaged commercial lighting. So obviously they were burning MH in the HPS fixtures. I tried to get it to work, no joy. I have heard it can be done, and I wish I knew how, but all I get from a MH bulb in the HPS ballast is a dim blue flicker.
