I have one plant in my grow where all of the smaller buds are ripening while the main cola continues to grow. Checked trichomes yesterday and they are 85% cloudy, rest are clear. 95% pistols have receeded. I figure they will be ready soon. Maybe 5-10% pistols have receeded on the main cola, all...

Agreed, I don't think I would ever grow strictly MH even though it might be quicker the yield would suffer. I use a combination of MH and HPS together to create a "full spectrum" effect with 600w hps and 400w MH so there is greater Red spectrum and the plants love it. This time around I swapped...

"resin production and metal halides permalink ok.. while doing some research i came across an interesting article.. Ed Rosenthal (14 Jan, 2005) Can I switch to metal halide during the last few weeks of bloom? For years I've been growing under high pressure sodium (HPS) lights for both...

iv'e read a few articles concerning this. MH will induce more resin/crystal production and MAY also help with flavour and potency. However, Since MH has lower lumen output compared to HPS and alot let output in the red spectrum your total yield might be reduced a bit, so it's a tradeoff. I just...

Bahaha! so true, MJ doesn't need unicorn poop to grow good!

Makes perfect sense, I think brand loyalty is a big part of what generates all the hype and so called marijuana voodoo . Everyone wants to make a buck and it makes the whole game extremely difficult for people who just want to simply grow well and not have to break the bank in the process. I...

That explains alot, I made a mistake with a few plants in my current grow and dosed them with too much P. Experienced all of the symptoms you described. The 10-52-10 I dose once at half strength when the plants root system is developing, then I move to the 30-10-10 or 20-20-20 into flower...

Thanks for the info UB! I trust your opinion 100%. A store here in town carries the full line. At $9 for half a kilo you can't go wrong. Iv'e stocked up on the 31-10-10, 10-52-10 and 20-20-20. Wasn't sure about the bloom food , which is a 15-30-15. I'm not familiar with this ratio, what's your...

You are correct, maybe i'll contact them and see if they can provide me with an answer. There's no other 30-10-10's I can find anywhere around here so we'll see. Thanks for pointing that out.

I have a single Greenhouse strain in my grow, Arjan's Ultra Haze #2. Doesn't seem to be alot of info on this strain out there. I'm really glad I only grew one because it's taking over my grow room! She is just shy of 7 feet tall now in a 1 gallon pot after 30 days veg/30 days flower! didn't...

This is the exact reason why I can't wait to pick up my $10 tub of 30-10-10 today :mrgreen: Time to retire my 3 part until i'm ready to go hydro and give my plants some simple lovin. Would anyone happen to know of anywhere that carries jack's classic line up here in Canada EH? All I...

same boat here as well. From looking at what UB's been saying about the importance of N, I'm picking up some 30-10-10 today and will be using it with my current veg. Thought I used too much N with my plants that are currently in flower but I was wrong. The first stretch in flowering requires...

Wow, these look almost identical to my current Coco grows that are vegging. Right off the bat iv'e noticed that they grow much quicker and greener. I give them a low, steady dose of 3 part with a higher dose of N every 3rd feeding or so and they love it! I agree that with coco, you can give your...

Iv'e learned the hard way just how imporant nitro is during flower. Luckily the 3 part i'm using has a higher N ratio for flowering than it does for Veg, but I made the mistake of giving my plants a lower dose of N and not following the chart which resulted in many fan leaves dropping early. The...

Thanks for the reply, i'm aware that you can use either MH or HPS for entire grows but what i'm not experienced with is how much swapping a light would affect a plant during mid-flower. My assumption was that it wouldn't have much of an effect on the plant, but I'd like to be sure as this is my...

I have a question about swapping out bulbs in my flower room. I currently have a 600w and 430w hps @45's to each other and I'd like to swap out the 600 with a MH for the last 2 weeks to give them more UVB. My concern is that I have plants at various stages that are anywhere from 5-20 days in, as...

Type's of hood's make a big diff with how the light is directed. If you want the light more focused, a batwing will do the trick. If you want it more spread out get a parabolic. these are both open type reflectors. As long as your circulation is good it won't be prob having an open bulb...

ooooh the PW is gettin purple! I wonder if they need a ton of light to bulk up since they are outdoor strain? In any case they all look great! Kudos to ya :bigjoint: How long have they been in flower?

got this one solved, 45ès no problemo! bongsmilie

Anyone have any experience with this? I've set up two lights with reflectors at 45 degree angles so the beams cross. One HPS and one MH. Both bulbs are vertical or horizontal mount but since the bulb will be hanging at 45 I just want to make sure...
