sorry tho hear that. What brand ballast were you using? Myself, I'm a LUMATEK kinda guy. Though I love the power and the nice sound at start up of a 1000 watts. They really aren't very practical in Hawaii in my opinion, especially in the summertime when it tends to get pretty warm. Myself. I have two Lumatek 600 watt dimmables. What size grow room do you have that you find thousand watt lamp

Hey Puna-hope all is well....ordered a Quantum from Greners, after much research(that didn't pay off)...just picked up a GGL from Ohana today......sending Quantum back on Monday...
I'm still learning all the indoor stuffs, my flower room is 14'x 18', only got the one light in there so far..xxxl hood....the decision to go with a 1000w was because I have solar panels on my house and a strong a/c.....did I make the right decision?
Hows Punatic? Ever see him?

I Know everyone hates this answer, but its true nonetheless. It depends on a number of factors.
At its peak of daylight hours hawaii only gets about 13:20 daylight, at its peak. Thats really not much, and unfortuantly, pretty much all indicas will start flowering at that point. Some light sensitive sativas will be able to stay in veg till the hours dip below 12.
basically, they will probably flower if you put them out at any other month other than june, heres a picture for reference.
Perhasp you can try getting the hours they veg on to about 13 or 14, and then put them out, since they are used to the low hours, they may just barely keep vegging. If you have them on 20/4 however, I am sure they will instantly start to flower after their daylight hours are cut down so drastically in a short period of time.

soo what ur saying is.. if i put them out after 20/4 they will flower, it doesn't really matter what the time diff is? i'm willing to veg them all under light till they're healthy.. but i don't wanna put out some 24 inch clones and have them flower all sissy..

Grass...you're 100% correct, i veg indoors and flower outdoors, i'll get preflowers in about a week after the transition to outdoors and i'll have buds forming in about 2 weeks after the transition.
BRI....if you grow in containers just bring them in at the end of the day and put them back under your veg light until your ready to flower them. if you're planting them in the ground you're SOL.....lol

I've had to stop playing fallout 3 because of my addiction to that game. So I hear ya. Anything done too often becomes an addiction, even when its non-addictive in nature. but it could be worse, you could be trying to quit coffee or suggary foods, those things are very very addictive.hey what's up pepperbelly. haven't been on the internet much lately. too deep in work right now. been logging on every few weeks just to see what's happening.
I still got my haze seeds. haven't touched em yet though. haven't been growing at all for months allready. in fact, haven't been smoking the herb lately either. today makes 37 days sober from the herb. that's the most I have gone without smoking herb in the last 18 years!! before this, the longest I went without smoking herb was 3 days at the most. didn't think I could break the addiction but I did. not that there's anything wrong with smoking herb but I was addicted and addiction ain't good no matter what the addiction is.
anyways, I'm still here dude. just a lurker now

funny you say that, cause I have been cutting out sugars, soda,coffee,...... anything to do with white flour, etc., etc. I am having some serious health issues right now. that's part of the reason why I stopped smoking the herb. if and when I consume herb again, it's gonna have to be edibles, or at the worst, vaporizing it with my volcano. and yes, cutting out sugars and stuff is very hard. I crave sugars. what makes it worst is the foods that I am allowed to eat, I hate.

if u plant them in the ground all u got to do is use a CFL to interupt the dark period and they should stay in veg

Yo Doc,
Once you get past the first couple of weeks it get easier....replace the sugary shit with fresh fruit, replace soda with flavored carbonated water. But be realistic treat yourself every now and then (like once a month) after a while you won’t even crave the naughty foods. If diabetes is an issue I’d strongly suggest seeking out a good dietitian…..keep in mind the most expensive advice is free advice
I hear ya on the health issues I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and hypertension, I really had to rethink what I put in my body…but with a healthier diet I’ve able to combat most of my issues without all the bullshit pills the Dr’s wanted to put me on.
Be well brah!

Yeah, foods are more addictive than people realize. Quitting fast food was the hardest thing I ever had to do, and the only reason I succeeded is now if I eat anything unhealthy I throw up and feel sick as a dog for several hours. I'm still having withdrawls from quitting those foods a year and a half ago and i've lost 190 pounds. but Stopping certain foods seems to be more addictive then cigarettes which I DON'T miss.
