General Cultivation Q&A

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 …

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.

Hi all. This is my first post. I hope I've put it in the right place and that it's appropriate content. I just wanted to report an excellent experience that I had with the wonderful folk at Herbie's Head Shop. I bought a small amount of seeds from them (with a few freebies thrown in). There are two things that I want to emphasize about my experience with them. Great customer service, and when my first package was seized by customs (arseholes...) I notified them and they immediately sent an identical replacement package, which arrived a few days later. The first package used 'stealth packaging', selected via their web order form. The second package did not use steal…
