So, With things in full bloom, and the growth significant, things are starting to slow down as week 3 begins (height growth per day) and buds are starting to develop. Despite this, we still have two inevitable factors. a/ the plants will still grow another few inches at least over the next couple weeks. b/ the lights can only go so high. Most common technique is bending and training them down. This is very effective and I use this technique through most of my grow. But you can also 'fold' your plant stems over. This can put a bit more stress on your plants, and certainly do not recommend it if your plants are struggling. However, if your plants are doing well…

Has anybody here tried growing under HPS for a 12/12 lighting schedule from seed? I was reading on another forum that this guy has had really great results from the 12/12 lighting right from the start, and I was thinking that this might work particularly well if paired with HPS for the entire period (ie. instead of using MH for veg and switching to HPS for flower). The reasoning for why this might be a good choice for indoor growers is the following: Growing indoors often involves a height/size restriction, and you might want to keep the plants short, particularly for SOG and other techniques. I suspect that the short lighting schedule would mean shorter plants due to …

Hey Peeps, I hope I am in the right place for posting this but here goes nothing. I am wanting to grow a "Mother Plant" so that I can have a steady supply of clones. The first thing I would like to know is what is the minimum amount of light required to keep just the one plant alive and in a vegitive state. I was thinking of something along the lines of a "Compact Fluro" ??? The next thing would be it is neccesary to grow a "Mother" I am struggling allot with this part, some people say you do not need to keep the original mother while others say you do. For exmaple: I have heard and read that you grow a Mother that is female that way every cutting you take from …

Heya all need some input and answers. what happens when a plant outgrows it's pot size? will it will pretty much be stunted and stay the same size? can you use that to your advantage in some ways? my idea instead of 1 plant in a 40cm pot within my 40x40 cupboard, i can fit 4 plants each in 20cm pots. is there any pro's / con's by doing this? the plant won't vegetate as much after the roots fill up the pots, but how will this affect flowering? ... i want to utilise the space in my cupboard better.

Hi all. I'm only a light user, approx 2oz a year. Used to grow in the backyard but neighbours are getting nosey. Is a small grow box a solution. Something that would fit under a workbench in the garage to give me a couple of oz. Concerns I have is: Smell Catching on fire Setting up (ie size of lamps, type of lamps) Nothing complicated. Just a timer and hand watering. Any suggestions would be great.
