    Is 4 23 watt 2700k cfls enough for 3 plants in flower?

    I would use double that amount of lights and up the wattage on em for more lumens.If you already have the 5000k lights, I'd use em.If you havent,frmrboi is right,not the best source.Stick with 2700k lights

    Urgent!! Please Help with Ductwork

    I had this problem one time.On the rigid edged side,take tin snips and cut 1 inch into it.Do this about an inch apart all the way around it.The other end that was not cut should fit right into it.Then put a few sheet metal screws in to keep stable and then duct tape around it.Worked just fine.

    Topping question

    Try supercropping.It works great for height restrictions and you dont lose the tops.You can still top them without overstressing them.Give em a few days to recover before flowering.

    Single Male Flower- How much damage could that have done?

    I would wait.They may still need 2-3 wks before ready.Just keep an eye on em,but with them being at 8 wks,should be minimal damage.Before I harvest, I leave em in darkness for about 36-48 hrs.

    Hydroton really inert..?

    By the way,your ph spike is definately due to hydroton rocks,but if you soak em @ 4.0,it will become a non issue.

    Hydroton really inert..?

    Soak your rocks overnight in water ph'd to 4.0. Repeat and soak again in new water ph'd again to 4.0. Your ph will stabilize right where you want it 5.7-6.0

    with your height limitations,Grobo is right,your going to have to Lst or supercrop.If you just top em,you will run out of room.The good news is these teqniques work well.I personally supercrop and tie my plants and it works great.

    Big bud is out of control...

    you could top or supercrop them up to about the first 3 weeks of flowering.you can knock about a foot or more off their height and not lose your top cola by suppercropping them.I use this method when mine are getting too tall and it works great.It also allows more light to penetrate the lower...
