There should be a cap and an ignitor with it. If they aren't there it's not worth messing with. Looks like a 70W hps ballast that I have lying around.

Sorry I missed your question. I haven't been able to get to RIU for a few days.The pix are gone from your post so I can't tell but I will point out that it's possible to do a partial harvest. I sometimes just take the tops of the colas and let the rest go longer

This kind of setup is often called a 'micro grow'. You might search the threads for other people doing this. PC cases are a popular choice. The short answer is 'No'. You cannot run HIDs off the voltages from a PC pwr supp. HID need several hundred volts of AC current to operate...

Once the plant is established and has say three or more leaves, you can clone pretty much whenever you like. As long as you leave one branch, she will be fine. I make clones from whatever I prune off the plant.It is generaly thought that clones do best if taken in veg state after the plant...

I have wired up several DIY HID ballast kits. The ballast kit for a 70W HID is around $30. It's pretty simple to wire these things up if you are comfortable doing basic household wiring. But there are high voltages involved so do it very carefully.The voltage to drive the bulb is probably...

That stuff is designed to be used in a room with people and possibly uncovered food. It's not toxic and it breaks down quick.And as max points out, you are better off smelling Autumn Breeze than the shitter in your local jail cell.

They look good. The afghan looks a little droopy. If you can manage a properly focussed picture without the cfls burning, it would be good to check her color. In the meantime I would mist her and put a clear plastic cup over her so that her leaves dont have to transpire so much. There is...

I'm not sure why it's silly. Your suggestion is that he go after the established dealer's market and compete. Well that's one strategy. It might work but to provide better quality for the same price is going to reduce your profit margin. It will also set you in direct conflict with the...

^^^yep agree. On this grow, I've had several interruptions of the light schedule and my plants don't seem bothered. I think some strains might be very sensitive. As I understand it, MJ plants care about the length of the dark period, not the light period. If the light goes off and they are...

If the area already has a supplier taking care of the bread and butter needs of the local stoners, I would go more expensive. Perhaps offer some exotic strains that aren't usually available. Produce only the highest quality, cure it carefully, package it attractively and ask a premium for it...

That's good to know! +rep. I too just mixed up some organic soil concentrate based on Subcool's soil. There was no OF FF around for this batch so I started with Black Gold and tried to guess how much nutes OF has. If that works, I probably wont start with OF any more but it's good to know...

Yeah, we shouldn't be hijacking your thread. I've never grown outdoors but they look good to me.

Looking good there. They often are yellow when they pop. They are a bit stretched. Lower the light. Do it in steps but get it down to about 1" above the plant tops. Absolutely no nutes for a week mebbe longer since she is in MG soil. (you should check with the growers who use MG and...

Seedling looks healthy but she is stretching which is not great. One of the reasons a seedling will stretch is to get to the light. That is also why the leaves are pointing up. Lower your light! Being set low in the cup like that doesnt help either. I suggest you trim it down to 1/2" I think...

I dont think you have a problem. Let's say 1000W total. This is about the same power as a small electric heater, a PC setup. Much less than a TV, far less than a dryer, an AC unit or a range. They will not be able to see your tent as a hot spot on the roof. The vent may look a little unusual if...

That's interesting! Have you done this?

Like Massah said: wrong. :) It's not a disaster. When it's grown out a bit, cut the top off the main stem and you will have an uneven set of side branches but it doesnt matter. Some LST will get them all to be about the same height.

I didn't know there was a connection. Would you explain? Thanks

"craptastic" !! lol

You have two problems. Money is tight and you don't know what you are doing. It's not a great combination. If you have the money to buy ready made nutes, you dont have to know much about what goes in them or why. Just buy and apply. But if you are broke and want to DIY, you have to know...
