I think the dull side of the foil diffuses light better and creates a more evenly distributed reflection. The shiny side would focus the reflection creating potential hotspots. Flat white paint is used instead of glossy shiny white for that reason.Fans blowing in the grow room should make the...

Diffusing the light all angles seems best to me. I was going to ask the question "is crumpled mylar better than smooth?" It appears we all have different viewpoints on this so I think go with what you think is best and you will be happy. Personally I use mylar and flat white paint and believe...

It should be doing awesome by now. I supercropped in the second week and am excited at the rapid bud growth not to mention a plant shaped the way I want which is spread out with many bud sites close to the light. I have read that vegging is the only time to supercrop so I tried doing it while...

You can use the tops you whacked off for your clones making "topping" an excellent way to expose more bud sites closer to the light and producing your next crop.

If you don't use any techniques to improve yield the marijuana plant has no choice but to yield a certain amount. I have used all the techniques and found that yield is increased. If you let a pumpkin plant do it's own thing it will basically produce a certain size pumpkin, but as we all know a...

Right on Slowpuffer. It only makes sense that the more tops exposed to the light without upper buds and leaves getting in the way the bigger the yield. Also knuckles form at the bends and are reservoirs for extra water and nutrients. If you think a plant will produce a predetermined amount then...

I think 50 square feet is about right. I have always calculated 4 feet all directions which makes 8X8 or 64 square feet. I have a 10X10 room with 1 1k halide and 1 1k sodium on a track. I have a good amount of extra area around the plants to work on them. Use lots of reflection and rotate your...

I just took 18 clones from my flowering Blue Dream. She has been flowering for about a week and I lost all my other clones (I think) because I used too much Super Thrive. Anyway, I have been researching the idea of cloning during flowering and it appears I have been missing out on a great idea...

Wow. I couldn't have said it better myself. Misinformation by the enemy is escalating because we are winning the War on Drugs as far as marijuana is concerned. When a public official describes marijuana as a dangerous drug you know they are idiots!

Yes, enjoy what you have Goldengoose7 but I agree with you that when you expect something to be a certain strain because of the qualities you like and it is something else it is quite disappointing. All weed is not created equal but if you're stranded on an island you make do with what you have...

Most definitely! We need growers to include pictures of their stated strains. Of course we will get plenty of people posting what they think is correct name for the strain but over time a diligent researcher would find what is true. Eventually we could all check online to see if what we have is...

Blue Dream- Hybrid cross between Blueberry and a Haze. Grows fast and when tied down indoors covers a lot of floor space with the lights able to penetrate to the dirt. Smell, taste appearance are all top notch. Sugary aromatic scrumptious are adjectives that come to mind. 8 to 10 weeks until you...
