    Cut Lights Before Harvest?

    the problem with this method is that it rapidly increases the chances of hermaphrodite plants, so a couple of days should be fine but IMO 2 weeks is too much of a risk x

    seedling leaves tips curling down and yelowing on the edges of leaves help pls

    the yellowing on the leaves is a nitrogen deficency and the wilting is probably because the humidity is too low, ideally you want it to be 50-60% and the temperature to be 70-80f , to up the humidity, just place a couple of bowls of water in the room, using a garden mister also really helps...

    co2 handmade?? pls help!

    enriching the air with c02 can dramatically increase plant growth throughout the entire cycle but ive heard that its most important in seedling growth and flowering. for a room that size you want to get a big 3 liter bottle, fill it up about 1.2 inches from the bottom and add about 50g of sugar...

    co2 handmade?? pls help!

    c02 generators are pritty pricey, the main drawback, plus you'll need a c02 meter to regulate it which is generally really exspensive a easier way is to get a big bottle of any kind, couple of liters at least and pour in some yeast, no exact measurments as it will be relative to the amount of...

    Whats wrong with this grow room?

    By the sound of it you have a case of toxic salt build up which is quite common. This can be easily fixed by flushing the plants. You should also consider filtering your water or leaving it out overnight to release its withehld chlorine. This could also be caused by nutrient toxicity seen as...

    mh or cfl

    well the ballast have to match the bulb and you can't put a hps bulb in a metal halide fixture and vice versa, the power levels are set to specific levels ; for example if you put a 150w bulb into a 400w fixture it will shoot 400w through the bulb and most probably blow it up:-( cheers hopefeild

    1st grow...cant determine male or female

    the only way you can determine sex for sure is by cloning for sex , its a complete pain in the ass but you really can't get away from it , pluz if theres any hermies, which is far more likely in fem seeds then u can identify it quickly b4 it ruins you sinsemilla crop.and remeber that the sex of...

    2X400hps or one 600W hps??

    Dont listen to everyone, 2 * 400watt will allow the lights to be closer to the plants as well as giving better distribution of light and less heat spots. It also means they can be individually adjusted if some plants are taller than others. Trust me, although the lights will be slightly less...

    2700k cfl seems GREAT for VEG doing lst and topping

    well theorectically anytime but remeber that the number of cannabinoids is substantially higher in a older plant that has time to mature but many people only grow their plants very small and young , like 7 inches but most of these people grew the tiny plants from clone and therefore they would...

    first grow, 1 plant, yelowing om the leaves

    I dont think your problem is anything to do with your water although you may have been watering a little too much. What your plant has is a nutrient problem. By the sounds of it, its a Nitrogen defficiency which is quite common as I have experienced. If so than I would reccomend flushing it...

    2700k cfl seems GREAT for VEG doing lst and topping

    your got it backwards, for vegetative growth its far better to use 6500k as it produces much more blue light

    So...when should I wip out the ol' 600?

    at seedling stage , from 1 week to 5 they only require 4000 lux , which is about a 5ft 58w T8 striplight, when they are in vegetative growth they require about 27000 lux and in both stages they need far more blue light around 6500 kalvin, in flowring they need 100000 lux and require far more red...
