    1st Grow would like some opinions on my girls

    Look very healthy, short and bushy. Did you top them at all? I'm hardly a pro but looks all good to me, though they'll stretch out quite a bit soon. Doesn't look like you've had a fan on them so you might wanna think about tying them to something so they can handle the weight!

    Tips on maximizing yield in quick grow

    Screen / tying and turning will probably be my best bet, don't really have the time to have them recover if I can avoid that. Could try mainlining but never done with a sativa.

    Tips on maximizing yield in quick grow

    Not yet, gonna keep them 18/6 for now. Might buy them a smaller grow CFL instead of dimming the 1000w for veg.

    Tips on maximizing yield in quick grow

    Haven't transplanted yet, have 5 gal drain pots. Thinking about trying one or two in a three, not sure though. And roots original mix. Strains I have right now are jetfuel, skywalker OG, Snow White, and wreckage. Wreckage is be one I'm worried about, seems a little like fruit punch though so it...

    Tips on maximizing yield in quick grow

    About 6 clones 10-15 inches high. Different strains, two indica and two sativa. 1000w dual arc (600hps400mh), and lots of room. And don't worry, I understand quick is a relative term. Just looking from the most efficient way to finish my ladies in a timely fashion. Could throw more under but not...

    1000w Dual Arc & HPS or just HPS?

    Running one lamp for around 5-6 ladies, heavier indicas. Not sure if it's worth running the dual arc for veg and beginning of flower then switch to HPS, or just take a little stretching with only HPS. I've looked for threads but can't find anything very recent. If it helps I'm -running dimmable...

    668W Ballast?

    I could buy two of these ballasts for the price of one locally. Not looking to get new equipment for nothing but the upcharge is wild.

    668W Ballast?

    Only getting one ballast though I figure the warranty is worth spending a little more. need a decent hood but can probably get one secondhand fairly safely

    668W Ballast?

    Been wracking my brain trying to find a good ballast from a place online that isn't sketchy. Found a phantom II that looks perfect for myself, but it has strange wattage. https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/172101/GROW-10001.html Haven't really found anything on it. I'm sure it'll work like a...

    amber trich's after a little over a month of flower?

    The buds on top smell super dank, kinda dense (for cfl's), and are starting to have a mix of amber and cloudy trichomes. I know that cfl light doesn't penetrate well so that is probably why the lower buds are so scraggly/undeveloped. Am i going to be having to harvest some of the top buds before...

    1st cfl attempt, how's it looking? 1st day of flower

    looks beautiful man! i hope i can get so lucky with cfl's, what do you think i should expect when it comes to their increase in size when switched to flower from your experience?

    1st cfl attempt, how's it looking? 1st day of flower

    i've trained them to the max don't worry, i wanted them to be under 15 inches and bushy and i definitely got that. Any its about 14$ for 12, that isn't that expensive is it? All of them but one has been topped at least once and about 4 are tied down

    1st cfl attempt, how's it looking? 1st day of flower

    They've gotten a lot bigger (bushier, damn) than I expected too, so i'm trying to work with that as well as I can. I don't wanna assume too much or really worry about yield, but some of the plants have 4-8 nice big branches that could definitely support a quarter and then some if I do proper...

    1st cfl attempt, how's it looking? 1st day of flower

    I have nine plants going right now but will be taking out at least 3 within the next week. I know I can't grow that many and have no need to, i'd like to get maybe 5 or 6 ounces idealy, i would just like some bud that actually address my pain and other problems, and not give me headaches and...

    Help identifying an unknown pure sativa strain?

    i might have a gem or a dud, i guess i won't know until i have one chopped and dried! i'm sure i'll share it on here once i finish one

    1st cfl attempt, how's it looking? 1st day of flower

    I think they might have a bit of a nitrogen deficiency, i overwatered&overfed and had a problem with mold so i haven't been able to feed for about two and a half weeks. I already had calmag anyway so may as well use it! And i already have more lights, i'm just waiting because i'm going to be...

    1st cfl attempt, how's it looking? 1st day of flower

    Eight 26W/1600L/6500K bulbs used for 69 days of veg. Used and will keep using promix BX soil, fed with espoma plant tone, and watered regularly with tap water. Never have tested pH and haven't been hurt from it yet I don't believe, I don't have town water though, so that might help. Switching...

    HELP!! Mold growing on my soil or..? I'm at a loss, need help!

    I don't have root rot yet but they were rootbound, they're going to be repotted into 5gal (from 3) and hopefully be looking all pretty for their first days of flower. The drainage in the smaller containers was lackluster at best as well, they are going to absolutely love their bigger buckets i'm...
