re: 420 Consumer Reports Competition - GrowLEDHydro's 600W LED vs. 600W HPS by Be Irie glass transmits about 90% of available light over 350nm. That is why mirrors, don't perform as well as mylar or some of the other film that transmit 95%+, a glass mirror loses 10% as the light enters and...

Hey Sisco. Sorry I just got your message. Been so busy with so much stuff that I haven't had time to check in to 420. Just started reading your journal from the beginning. It will take me a couple days to catch up. Looks great! So reminds me of my outside spot. Only advice I have right now is...

It doesn't seem to run much. I have it set at 60% right now and it comes on for about 10 to 15 minutes an hour except about an hour or so after I water then it runs quite a bit. I might buy one of those cheap meters and see how much extra juice we are going through. Also have two fans going...

It's starts out very cerebral and then slowly turns very dreamy and narcotic like. I always sleep really well on it. You have a tendency to smoke too much of it because it really sneaks up on you. It's the kind of smoke where you take a couple hits and decide it's a fine idea to run to the...

Just a quick wrap up. The yield came in at a dried 4.1 oz per plant (with the cola stem still on, so probably 3.8 of smoke). Huge very dense buds, not much trimming involved at all. The harvest went real fast. Each plant had four main colas and about an ounce of smaller decent buds. AK-48 is a...

bondage here.....this time I'm using real thin zip ties pulled tight with pliers. The trick is to just crush the outer cambium layer not the hard woody layer.

"narcotic" that is the word I was looking for! It is a lot like that. Sort of hoping the final harvest has some of the same traits. I'm only girdling 2 of the 5 to see if there is much difference in size, potency, or taste.

this should be good! yumboldt is new to me. So is what you have going yumboldt crossed with ak-47?

thanks guys! I'm not going to do it on this grow but maybe on the next, I'm going to see what happens when you start moving the spectrum back up for the last two or three weeks. So right now they are running 12 3000K bulbs and I would start replacing with 2 6000K bulbs every week, or something...

Day 64

That is what it says on one web-site but on Home Depot it doesn't say wattage just that it is energy star compliant. I guess I will find out in a couple days when it gets here. Most of them say you need a 15 amp circuit. They are basically just air conditioners except that they reheat the cold...

I broke down and ordered a dehumidifier today. I found a little bud rot/mold on one of the middle plants. I've moved the fans closer and trimmed a lot of fan leaves. If any more shows up I'm going to have to harvest early, fortunately I like the heady, sativa type of high. I also need to dry...

I have used HID and originally thought about combining both. I think where HID really performs is the final 4 week although , my feelings on that are changing rapidly as I use the VHO bulbs on the Solar Flare. I like the t5's for these advantages The main one for me is to be able to...
