Any such thing as a Eunuch cannabis plant because I have one OK, I know that a eunuch is a castrated male, but I got your attention. I have 3 plants (two girls and a green plant that looks like cannabis) in a tent exactly 21 days into flower. All three are thriving and very healthy and look...

Re: Lets talk seriously about LED's and end the bull that retailers are getting away Viper I'm hearing ya. I think the problem is that a lot of them don't work and unless discussions get going on tech issues than the industry will never move forward and prices will stay out of reach. Most...

Re: Lets talk seriously about LED's and end the bull that retailers are getting away Hey ol hippy good point but I can't get away from it. Does anything work better and WHY???

Re: Lets talk seriously about LED's and end the bull that retailers are getting away Hanshisan Its good to hear that you got good results from this light. Could you elaborate and tell us what you think worked or didn't work for your grow? It's just me, but I'm one of those propeller heads that...

Re: Lets talk seriously about LED's and end the bull that retailers are getting away Hey HH Who did you buy from? Would they give you the spectrum of lights and % of each band? What wattage on the bulbs and more importantly what is the lens angle? This probably has a lot to do with...

I've been all over the various LED retailers and many of the LED threads in these forums. Just like all of you I'm still confused and frustrated. The retailers obviously say that their approach is the best but as buyers we haven't yet really challenged them or tried to confirm or disprove their...

Roseman Thanks for the welcome. I don't have a grow going as yet. I build custom furniture for a living so my goal is to come up for a good design for some stealth grows built in a really nice pieces of furniture. I'm thinking of a small cabinet just for a mother and clones and later on...

Hey guys and (gals)? I've been through all 10 pages of this thread and didn't see anything about cutting the holes in the top for neoprene inserts. :cheesygrinsmiley:Do the inserts sit on top of a slightly smaller hole? :cheesygrinsmiley:Or do they press fit into the hole...

Re: Impllications of high w bulbs Could you discuss the pros and cons of higher wattage LEDS. I'm starting to see companies coming out with 2w, 3w and as much as 6 watt LED in their units. I take it they penetrate further than units with 1w LEDS. One company is using 6w bulbs and a very wide...

It sure would be nice to control the fan speed. There is no sense running it too fast from a whole lot of standpoints ($$$, noise level etc) I'm not an electrician, but I've been doing some research on fans for a future grow box. It looks like 115 v AC fans can be speed controlled but require a...

I'm curious how seed selection and general plant shape would effect SOG technique. I was reviewing info on a seed website the other day and ran across a very brief comment regarding a seed (forgot the name) that indicated that the plant, although medium height grew with mostly a main cola and...

Munki Thanks for the quick followup. In thinking about it, you're quite right. When I use my chiller on "wert" plain water runs in chilling coils although it sits in the boiled malt and hop mixture.

I've been having problems with nutrient temp in my bubble type system. I've gotten some good info on cheap effective DIY chillers. I've been wondering, however, if I could make the whole problem go away with an ebb and flow system for the next grow. The nutrients are delivered a few times a day...

It would add to the cost but a coil of copper tubing would be far more efficient than the plastic tubing. I've been making beer for many years. "Wort Chillers" are expensive (60-$200) but are extremely efficient heat transfer units. They could easily be incorporated into this design.

Re: nutrient temp and solutions I'm a pre-nubie which mean I'm just trying to grow lettuce before I venture into a value crop. Looks like it is a good decision as I'm already messing up the lettuce grow. I'm in Florida with my house temp at 78. Water temp is a bit higher and causing problems...
