Sorry, here are the pics. Thanks

Hi, Here are some bag seed plants I started a month ago. Here's what I did. Germinated the seeds in wet paper towels. Once they popped I put them in regular potting soil and put them on my back deck. I've done hydro before, just got lazy this time. I'm thinking of moving them inside to...

Yea found that out the hard way... lol.. I bought out a retired grower and picked up 3 600W hoods and 2 600W ballasts, 2- 3x3 EBB tubs, 1- 2x4 tub, PLUS 3 real can fans, and a ton of other stuff. So I made a 2' muffler, my question is should I put the muffler on the intake or out? Should I...

Hi, I'm a first time grower myself. So take this for what it's worth. I started with White Widow, NL x Big Bud, Afgan Kush and Cheese. 1 of each. All mine were under a small 125w floro. They all looked like yours in the first 2 weeks. I was told it was just streching. So I let it be and they...

Tell her and anybody else that you started a "Reptile Breeding Center" and that's why. The lights/heat/ac for the reptiles is about the same as growing MW. Plus people hate reptiles and they will stay away.. LOL Good Luck

Well today my ballast took a dump, the room temp dropped to 67. So that tells me the lights were the problem. At the moment I have 4 plants growing "Northern Light x Big Bud, WW, Cheese, and Afgan Kush". I just took 4 clones from each of them last night. I want to redo my room and could...

The room is 10' x 13', it's a spare bedroom. Venting is a open window and a room fan. I put a 250W bulb in the 1000W ballast. I don't know what kind it is but it's heavy and gets real hot. Looks like I need to come up with a better venting setup. Also the 250W bulb dropped the temp to normal...

The ballast is for 1000W MH. I just changed it to a 250W MH and the heat dropped big time. It also looks just as bright as the other one. Now I have a new problem with this setup. It doesn't work with HPS bulbs. Today is day 80 in veg 18/6. I want to switch over to 12/12 but can I use the MH...

Hi All.. This is my first grow. I bought a used HPS light on "cheapbay" and it came with bulbs. I don't know what watt they are though. Well I'm using a 10' x 13" room and the 1 light gets the room to 88-92 degrees and my DWC is in the mid 80's. Are these lights suppose to get this hot or...

The plants in the pictures are 5 weeks old from seed?

Thanks for all the replys and tips, you guys are great!!!! Thank you WOW, I thought I had a handle on most of this. I've been reading DIY, How-To's, etc, etc for 3 months. Boy was I wrong!!!! LOL I want to go hydro, but the right way. WizHigh (thanks for all your help), out of the DIY...

Thanks for the input, I'm gonna try to lift the containers. At the moment I'm only using 1 CFL light. I also am just using plain bottled water, no nuits at the moment. Any ideas or other suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joe

Ok, Here's what I've done so far. All these plants were started at the same time. 10/23 Started germination. 10/25 Planted rooted seeds in root cubes. Here's where things get strange. 10/31 By the end of the day 3 of them were like this. This one was straight up this morning when I...
