Exactly right. Always use USPS, never the others. But ordering from people you don't know is just stupid.

There's the people that like LEDs, and the ones that don't (or don't know enough about them). Personally I don't like them, but that's because I haven't researched them enough :p I prefer t5s/CFLs, as I've grown great stuff with them. Someone with some LED experience will give you their opinion...

Shipping via USPS is safe if done properly. Shipping via FedEx/UPS/other isn't safe. You still gotta trust the person on the other end, though :p

The canopy will already be even, as I will be using clones. I'm saying if I was to use a light mover, I would need adjustable tables for the 3 different stages of flowering. One stage will just be coming in as one stage is leaving, so they'll be different heights. If I didn't use a light mover...

Yeah, but it's less expensive than losing your plants :p I can't tell you if it's good or not, but from what you said I'd toss it.

Sounds like it would work great, I've never had to do it myself. Good to know :)

Do you see mildew on the buds? I'm pretty sure if it has mildew you should go ahead and cut it, instead of letting it spread. I'm not sure about the bath.

Look up powdery mildew and you'll see how it's caused, how to prevent it, and how to treat it. The 2 treatments I suggested are the only ones I know of, except possibly a sulfur burner or something.

Are you sure it's not just the trichs? I can't see anything in the picture. If it is really is powdery mildew I'm pretty sure a 10% milk to 90% water mixture sprayed sparingly on the plant should get rid of it. Edit: Since your plants are pretty late in flowering, I wouldn't go spraying a milk...

I know we're not on the subject of mother plants, but a mother plant really isn't nothing more than a nice vegged plant :p This is an excerpt from the book I was telling you about, and how to restrict vertical growth.

I know, I was just saying that I read that when looking up mother plants, it should work on any plant :p topfuel29 said Bush Master by Humboldt would stop the growth for a while, and like I said a certain NPK feeding would do just that. More lights isn't gonna make your plant stop growing...

If it smells like mold I wouldn't risk it. You're investing electricity and nutrients among other things, you don't wanna waste that over something that might kill them. If I were you I'd just buy a new bag of soil and toss the other one, if it smells ridiculous.

The more light the less it will stretch, but that has nothing with just growing tall. You only want to veg the plant until around 50% of your desired height, as it doubles height when flowered. There's ways to grow plants small as well using nutrients, something like high Nitrogen feedings or...

I have hangers, and I unerstand how to make the PVC part to hang the lights, but I'm asking about an adjustable PVC stand that holds my flood tray, so I can make my flood tray taller or shorter. That way I could have some flood trays taller than others, so the canopy could be more even.

Yeah, 3 1000w would produce quite a bit of heat. What I would need is stands that are both height-adjustable and mobile. Do you know what it would take to make height-adjustable PVC stands?

My setup is flood and drain, so I guess I could just make different level/adjustable stands for the tables.

A light mover is ~$150. The ballasts I use are $200, so a Light mover would be much cheaper than 3 ballasts :p

For my veg I already have t5s, I'm just wondering about flowering :p

One thing is that each stage of the flowering will be at a different height, so the moving light will be closer to some than the others, so wouldn't it make the new batch stretch quite a bit?

A light mover sounds interesting for my grow, is there one you'd recommend? Would a single 1000w on a mover work for all 24 plants?
