Hi Guys, Well it's time to get the grow underway again. I was wanting some opinions though on a couple of technique variations. For my last grow, I did all indoors with 1000W and I got nice, firm, tight strong bud. Using the same seeds again, I was thinking of either: 1) Growing outdoors (veg) and then in eight weeks, moving indoors for four weeks under 1000W HPS at 11.5 hours a day. 2) Growing outdoors until early January (veg), then giving outdoor light (no hydro) for 11.5 hours and indoor darkness for 12.5 hours. 3) Growing outdoors for 8 weeks then indoors - with alternating natural light and hydro light for the last four weeks. Any opinions of which …

Hello fellow stoners.I have a couple of Questions regarding Cfl's.I have switched to 12/12 on a 100w 6400K CFL and the plants seem to be sexing nicely.My Questions are do I keep them on 12/12 or switch back to 16/8 after sexing and when should I change the Light to the 100w 2700K light?I am sure these Questions have been answered else were but Funnily enough I'm too stoned to look..This is my first grow and will try and set up a grow diary after I've finished the sexing and picked out the best.

Hi every one out there hope every thing is good. I have recentley read two grow books Marijuana growers guide by Mel Frank published in 1978 and cannabis cultavation by Mel Thomas copyright 2006. The book by Mel frank is great I have been able to fix alot of problems and have had many sucsessfull crops because of this book but the one by Mel thomas has information in there that is questionable for instance he recomends for any type of indoor grow to use 6 inch pots when i normally use 15 inch or 3 plus gallons. Also the book by Mel frank states to use 2 gallon plus after the 1st or 2nd month or the plants will get root bound. Cannabis cultavition also states that you do n…

just finished doing a setup with 2 600HPS cool lights.I have my ducting running out through vent i made but have not set up ducting for air intake as i was wandering if i left ducting off would this also take the air out of the room or would this warmer air stop my lights running as cool as they should.On the site where i order my equipment from they had an end cap with a flap going only one way so air could be drawn in but none come out but i cant see why you would use this as the air is only going to go one way while the fan is on any way.Can some one please explain these things to me.

I have a few questions on Auto's..I'm running 20 hours on 4 off for lighting is that the best lighting cycle from start to finish? Are Auto's heavy or light feeders? Would I be best to run fluro during veg and then swap to HPS or just run HPS the whole grow? Any help would be greatly appreciated cheers Buzz. P.S. tried to send shroomyshroom a this message and failed

Out of curiosity I will be putting one of my blueberry clones straight into 12/12 just to see what it does really. I was wondering if anyone can recommend what size pot I should use? I was thinking just a little 100mm pot but maybe that would be too small? I don't expect it will grow much roots though going straight to 12/12. They are currently in those small rockwool cubes and are just showing roots. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Naycha

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has tried the following technique and had any luck, ill start by explaining my set-up. I'm currently using 3 x 600w Hps covering an area 1.2m x 2.4m, the plants are growing in a self built flood and drain set-up in clay pebbles. Im just about to go into flowering and here comes the dilemma, Ive been considering (as i have only 2 months left untill i move) wether to try an 8/16 (light:dark) system, where by i rotate the plants, so that out of my 24 there are always 8 in the light room, and 16 in the dark room, changing over every 8 hours, sorry if thats confusing, . therefore essentially using 1.8kw of electricity to the equivalent of 3…

hi all, just wondering if anyone knows if its possible to find a way to make my bud tighter. the strain is not known for produceing very tight buds, they are still very healthy and of good size but im hoping just to tighten them up a little. i've been told that if i reduce the light by a couple of hours during the last week or so of the cycle, that it would somehow trigger the bud to tighten up. does anyone know if this true or just the ramblings of a mad man ??
