after u smoke, r u a... grubbing... gruber? :mrgreen:

also drgruber FYI after seeing your drgt instructions i see a minor difference with the ones they sent me. it includes specific temp for germing (maintain 85 - 105) and says after first leaf to drop to 75 - 85. your seed packaging looks just like mine except there is an additional lowercase "e"...

lookin pretty stupendous this morning. i'm more confident than last night. lo temp reading = 21.9 celsius. first two fan leaves covered with microscopic white dots and i don't know what they are but it seems like a function of health, not a function of disease. will try this light cycle as the...

of the 2 original fan leaves, maybe it's my imagination but one of em looks like it has flat spots near the tip, on an otherwise very contoured leaf. i flushed out the 500ppm solution as much as i could and replaced w/ 200ppm. newby mistake, all the way. it will be more obvious 2moro if there is...

bought two rectangular 20" x 24" mirrors which i'll be using diagonally for light amplification @ plant level in my grow room since i only have one light source

the day i got my seeds about a month ago, one fell on the floor. i found it. it's hibernating in the fridge. are you saying (in your journal) that it failed because of the drop? that would suck. i guess i better be ready for anything.

great idea thanks. instead of continuing the 18/6 cycle, i could do 19/6, twelve times in a row, and that would effectively swap my darkness time from after midnight to after noon

BTW to clarify: the heat mat is separate. u can remove it at will. i removed mine right after first leaf, like drgt's instructions said to do, so it's not hooked up. it's just that the climate is hot around here and i haven't figured out an efficient cooling method yet. i guess i could fill the...

anyone else interested in that hothouse, a well established company called CSN Stores has it for $32 w/ trouble-free returns. got mine for 39.21, shipping included. it has 3 adjustable vent holes on the clear plastic dome; 1 on top, 1 on each end.

ok, obscure question... if i want to swap my 18on/6off cycle from after midnight to afternoon, there has to be one irregular cycle, where i run the light 24hrs or 12hrs. will this mess up a plant's metabolism or will it be ok?

hothouse temp maxed out at 82 today. outside the building it reached about 91. tonight i hope for 62-65 in the hothouse. when i say hothouse, this is what i mean: http://www.hydrofarm.com/pb_detail.php?itemid=1899 i vent it regularly. eventually i will remove it alltogether and let the plants be...

manufacturer says this 90W is equivalent to "400 to 600W" conventional lamps. when they give a range, i always assume the lower number, so, call it a 400watt, at best. the great thing is that you don't waste electricity on plant-colored light which cannot be photosynthesized. it has about 69...

yes UFO Illuminator 5-band tri-spectrum, 90 watts. it has 90 LED's which are rated at one watt each. they don't put out much heat at all. however, there is a little bit of heat from the power supply inside the housing and from the 3 fans inside the housing. i presume the fans are there to cool...

i like the way Uncle Ben explains it. i will probably use his technique. just an FYI the original technique i was gonna use was by a guy named Dierwolf. it looks really similar if not identical, except Dierwolf seems to be doing it earlier in the plant's life. 4-step process...

dr gruber i don't want to waste a lot of your time, but since i can't read your whole thread, could you please give me a quickie rundown of how you ended up with so many flowers blooming? is it thanks to Uncle Ben, or should i expect similar yield if i do nothing? thanks for your help always

no more water added since day 5. soil still plenty moist. leaves making big progress. first leaves are now twice the size they were yesterday. i have 2 plants growing side by side: the G13, and a local seed not from drgt. the local one has had major growth in the last 24hrs. almost couldn't see...

day 7 begins tonight at 8:30pm. i can see the third and fourth leaves coming to life. for now the aluminum is ok since the plant surface area is so small. 6 hour off cycle was between midnight & 6am. overnight temp fell to 22C/71F and is now 28-ish/82-ish. does it make a difference what time of...

bathtub lined w/ aluminum foil for reflectivity. ufo light is freakin blindingly bright in there. best 90 watts i ever bought. moving to 18 hr light / 6 hr dark, lowering to about room temp. still in a small jiffy pot with miracle gro seed starter potting soil, moistened w/ 500ppm jacks classic...

the plan is to use a bathtub with a main area of 3 ft deep, 5 ft wide, 5 ft tall. only 2 walls need to be built, front and top, for a complete enclosure, and the plan is to build the walls with aluminum foil because i want it really simple, cheap, and reflective. if that foil turns out too...

is a 2.83gpm air pump enough for this strain? if yes, then i can do hydroponics with expanded clay pebbles, jacks classic all purpose 10-30-20 and 20-20-20 and a ufo 90watt light which is the only grow light i currently have. if 2.83gpm is too low, then i could scrap the hydroponic idea and use...
