    100% perlite hempy - water how often?

    I did a flush on my perlite plants and all, but one loved it! That one, in a matter of 22 hours earned me crispy leaves literally crush on touch! Does anyone have an idea how that even possible had only a few tiny tip burns to after flush crunchy leaves?? I used the same everything even the...

    Not a fan of the 5000k just seems to not be so good, the 4100k are doing better surprisingly. Every ballast produces a decent amount of heat and thats why most every ballast is up high in commercial grows to keep the heat above the plants. LED however, put out more heat then the driver. You...

    Awesome I did not know they had them :D I am in total agreeance with the tote. I had a few after thoughts on it while i was putting it together the size of the light fixture can totally be adjusted to work in any area a twist tie or zip tie works wonders to pull the cords up. In a tote you can...

    What Age to Start Lsting?

    I bent mine at the first set of real leaves as to not have to raise my lights its worked out well, how ever I have a medium gaurd on the cup to protect against algae. That helped stabilize and allowed the plant to bend vs rip out the medium. I think if you are at 3 nodes you are going to be fine...

    A great way to not spend much(newb guide)

    Marijuana plants LOVE light! A simple and effective way to handle this problem is to get a 5 gallon bucket( something larger in diameter works better) cut holes around the bottom approximately 3 inches up every 4 inches large enough for the screw part of the light(a 23w cfl) to fit through then...

    Upgrading Lights

    first 250w cfl's are expensive for some folks. The only reason you end up with 1 gram buds is because there is no one spot above the plant that is bright enough to make the plant healthy, combined with the often times no air movement of small grows being educated is much better then making...

    You also have to take into consideration bulb effective life, My suggestion with heart felt concern. Remove 1/3 of the lights keep as replacements and get movers. Do the research, movers are way way way worth it. In all reality you could drop half the lights and use full room length channels...

    Upgrading Lights

    23 watt cfl's from "around the house" put out 1600 lumens 1600*8 = 12800 = where ever you light is needed 1* 11,000= 2x2 foot print 12* 1600= 19200 lumens With some smarts you can place the smaller bulbs all around your plant or build a light box or in my case buy a plastic tub from walmart...
