Hi guys, I'm growing in a relatively small area, a clone tent with the dimensions of 0.8x45x0.8 and am ready to purchase a hps bulb and ballast for flowering. I already have a cool tube + ducting for the fixture. I am just wondering which would be best in this area of space between 250w and 400w hps and if anyone has any info or experience in regard to this. Much Appreciated. UC

hey everyone.. i was talking to a mate who tells me that when his brother used to grow he used he used decrease the hours of light during flowering more and more each week.. so basically 12 hours to start flowering then he would decrease the time by 2 hours every two weeks so after week 8 if they went that long they were recieving only 4 hours of light a day.. he claims that this increases the size and amount of buds and also speeds up the flowering time by a couple of weeks in some cases more.. can anyone lend any credence to this.. i have never heard anyone else using this method. i guess in theory the less light hours the more the plant thinks its gonna die and pum…

Hi guys, I have a question about my first baby's premature death. It was fine when I checked it this morning, and about an hour ago I came home, and the stem had bent at soil level and it was drooping sadly against the plastic cup in which it was growing in. I've been growing it in a jiffy pot, and only watering it when the 'soil' turns a lighter brown colour. I'm not fertilising at the moment but I am watering it with mainly pond water. I leave it outdoors too so I don't reckon light is the major issue here. I've piled some more soil around it, so that it has more support now, but I'm not hopeful that it'll pull through.. any suggestions as to what the problem is? …

Hey All, How are we this Sunny Saturday Morning??? I got an idea last night for a pantry setup with the shelves all removed. I figured a halogen lighting system (Star light 220W Full Unit) affixsed to the top, a single pot and seed in the bottom, black plastic to jam into the doorframe, Should work right??? Look honestly, I have no idea how to grow (My Dad did, I don't) but I am an afficienado of medicinal pot and seriously need to start my own supply. Please help Peoples, I just want a single plant setup thats very discreet. I trust your judgements

Can some one out there tell me if using a light rail will slow down the flower process. i know u obviously double you area but does this slow or affect anything as the light is not constant on the same area? Is 2 lights better than 1 on a mover for best results? How large an area are people covering with movers? Some rails are 2.4 long so i,m guessing that you can cover an area approx 1.2 wide by up to 3.5 long by running light to the end of the rail? BH

I'm thinking about keeping some clones in indoor storage until the time is right "next year" and then moving them outside and transplanting them in prepaired plots in late spring,,,or about now if it was this year,,,while the day light hours are still on the increase I would guess ???????. This would get around two issues for me,,,every one of them would be a known female,,and once in place I wouldn't need to vist as much as I have done in the past. Has any body else done this and if so,,how did it go. Thanks, John.

I want to spread out the colas on my plant but they're getting a little solid to start bending as they're more than 60cm tall each, Can I use copper coated wire like what they use in Bonsai plants to gently turn them out, it would also help keep the stems firmer
