Looking good as all ways my friend.

Yea the mix spectrum works out almost perfect: 3:1 lumens. Very happy with the way it worked out.

Rug you should start a grow journal and post pics. I think that your problem might be your lights. If the plants arent getting enough lumens they take longer to flower. The height of the plant is a indication of your lights. The plants are stretching to chase the light that is too weak. Not...

Hey man, nice start to your grow. Can I ask you question? How did you store your seeds? I've done some reading and some suggest placing seeds in a light proof container and placing in the frig. What method did you use? One year old seeds that are viable is an excellent shelf/storing method...

Plants are looking good my friend. What watt/size is your HPS/MH? I think at some point I will start a veg room. It will have to be a card board box or something. Still thinking about it. Keep up the good work.

They are 105 actual watts, 400 watt equivilant. The box I took a picture of (you cant telll b/c I didnt put something in picture for scale) but its like 15 inches high. The bulbs say they are HID replacement bulbs (works almost as well). There's a chart: MH 100 watt = 8500 lumens, HPS 100...

boiling just helps to get the chlorine out of the water faster. You can let it sit out in an open container for 24 to 48 hrs for the same effect. Make sure the water is at room temp when watering . . . some say cooler/hotter water can shock the plant. Charcol filter is the only thing I know...

I got my new cfl's today and I was shocked. They came in this big ass box and was wondering why the three bulbs would be packed like that. Then I opened the box and man these things are huge! 12 inches long as about 5 inches in diameter. I got three 105 watt that total 19,200 lumens (7100 for...

Wow Rug, five weeks and still no flowering? That seems too long to me. Wonder what could cause that? Maybe the NL has like five week veg? I might write Nirvana and ask. I hope mine dont veg that long. I'm on day 19 and I was expecting mine to start flowering any day now. I got some new cfl's...

Funny you should ask about that drew. Originally, I wasnt goint to add a single thing and let them grow. I just dont want to over tamper with my plants the first time around. That seems to be where most of the mistakes come from with new growers. That being said, I think I have a slight...

Day 18 of grow. Nice growth in four days. some of the plants leaves are hanging to the edge of my 10 inch planter pot. Nice short and compact growth with a level canopy. Very happy up to this point. Finally got my ph meter today and the soil is at stable 6.5 for both plants. Plants are now...

Man those plants look great. From wall to wall its like a canopy of a rain forest. Really like the cfl's ran down the middle. Great idea. Where did you get those "cages" that you use as buffers/protectors around the cfl bulbs? I need to get some of those. You buy that at your local hydro...

Drew, try to put your ego aside for one second. Your grow groom looked very unsanitary and smoggy. The plants looked stretched and sickly. Maybe its your methods. Do some research and ask yourself if there is any validity to what has been stated about drying techniques using cetain paper...

This why drying in cardboard and newpaper is a very bad idea. I could explain why this robs the bud of potency and infuses the bud with bad chemical taste but I wont even touch that, although both are true. Let focus on why this in a hazard to your health. And if you sell bud, why its cause...

Those water spots are necrotic. With the leaf shredding I would say you have a Manganese deficiency. It can be cause by your PH being too high. Mn gets locked out either when the pH is too high, or when there's too much iron. Check your PH. If its high us epsom salt mixed with water. If...

I would love to see some pics of the 1000watt hsp 4x4x6 w/out any vent during the summer. Pls make sure to take a picture of the thermomter during the day hours, and of course take some pics of the 16 plants or so that you are growing. I would love to see it. Would love to see it. So lumens...

Drew, is that the strain you bought or the strain you grew? Why do you a pic of one bud, and yet you dont have a grow journal of any kind. In fact you have never even started a topic on this forum. And here you are again giving out extremly bad advice to nebies on this website. I wont even...

No I dont expect the buds to swell, as I stated "you dont want the the buds to grow" . . . you want the resin on the buds to build. And yest the dark period will cause the plant leaves to wilt and shrivel, but the plant will remain alive. Plants concetrate on resperation in the dark, they just...

Im growing the same thing. On day 16. Good luck I'll be watching.

Do these small watt hps bulbs work without a ballast? Do you need to get a sefl ballast base for them? How do the work? Very curious. Thanks
