Has anyone rigged up a system that allows the light to be raised & lowered via a single pull (I was thinking wire rope). Ideally something that could be used to make the adjustment rope away from the light/plants so you wouldn't have to lean over the plants and try to adjust each side and make...

I am trying to build a stand for the 3x3' tray I have as the packaged stands at hydro shops are usually around $200. It looks simple enough. A few lengths of PVC, a few elbows and T's.... Thing is I suck at building anything that requires any amount of patience. I cant seem to get the stand...

I want to set up a 4x4 tent in a small room and am concerned with the clearance need for setting it up. The room is approx 6'x6'x7'. Most 4'x4' tents I see are around 80" which would give me only a few inches of clearance on top. Also, the 6x6 floor space doesnt leave me much room to really...

I will be remodeling my room after this run. I built it before I knew anything and I have been fixing things here and there as I go. Now its time for a major overhaul. The room is hidden behind a false wall in a basement area. It is approx 6x6x7 and in my naive "logic" I decided that I would...

What happened to the skunk that was around in the early-mid 90's? The stuff that smelled like an actual skunk. I havent smelled anything like that in years. I have seen several "skunk" strains and crosses but none actually smell like the animal. Its like skunk has just become a generic term to...

Some pics of buds I would consider ready for harvest. I like photos of whole buds and not macro shots of trichomes. I find its easiest and most reliable to judge based on the overall look of the bud. Any other photos of buds on harvest day?

I put five plants under a 12/12 lighting schedule on Monday (today is Thursday) I would like to grow a couple of them out a little more possibly using them as mother plants for clones. None of the plants have shown signs of flowering yet. They spent 4 weeks in veg before I moved them...

That is, the "whooshing" noise from the exhaust air exiting the room. I have a 4" hole in the ceiling that exhausts air out between two floor joists. That is fine, the filtered air gets blown out into a basement/crawlspace area. The fan noise is virtually undetectable but the sound of the air...

I have a ziplock bag with about 25 rapid rooter plugs leftover from last grow. I want to use them but am concerned that they might have picked up mold or fungus that can be transmitted to seedlings. They were stored in a sealed ziplock bag in a cool, dry and dark file cabinet while still moist...

Have been looking at some new CFL's for supplemental lighting. I currently use PL 55w 4 bulbs fixture and some 35w spiral CFL's for side lighting. The larger watt CFL's seem to be for mogul (E39) sockets and are not spiral but U shaped. Can I just buy a few mogul sockets and some lamp cord at...

Been doing a little bulb shopping and have found that the fixture I have uses "Power compact fluorescent bulbs which seem to be different than T5's. Mine are 4 pin, not 2 pin like a standard t5 bulb. The light was advertised as a high output t5 fixture but it seems it is a glorified CFL. BTW...

Looking to upgrade my high output t5 bulbs. In my experience, the stock bulbs from HTG are not the best and I was looking to upgrade. Anyone have a favorite brand? Thanks

Bought one of these a few weeks ago. Plugged in the bulbs, hooked it up, hung it, plugged it in and it worked nicely. Bright, no noise...Pretty much what I was looking for. It sat in hanging in the room, unused, until I decided to run some 18/6 tests on the equipment a few days ago. I ran 2...

Hey everyone. New to posting but I have been reading a ton and learning a lot. I am new to growing and am in the midst of setting up a space. I used a little alcove in my basement. I walled it off and ended up with a space about 6'x6'x7'. I divided the room into 2 so I could have a veg room and...
