Within the context of sinus surgery, smoking weed is same as smoking anything else. There are plenty of resources that address the dangers of smoking after sinus surgery. From John Hopkins(Preparing for Endoscopic Sinus Surgery): "Smoking: Smoking can severely affect the outcome of your sinus...

Amazon.com has gloss purple Rust-Oleum spray paint on sale for $4.94/can this week and it's eligible for free shipping with Amazon Prime. This might make a good alternatve to this purple dye product and the petroleum distillates should really punch the high up a notch.

It can't be 5%. Standard glass and polycarbonate only transmit 85% of visible and solar light. Ultra low iron glass will transmit up to 91.5% visible and solar light. This type of setup passes the light through two layers of polycarbonate or glass plus a layer of water. It would be impossible...

Relative humidity over 50% will promote mold. Most growers I know try to keep it closer to 30%.

I heard these watercooled jackets cause a 30% loss in light output due to light passing trhough the water. Supposedly it really knocks down the red spectrum as well. That's the main reason these jackets aren't so popular. I've seen competing setups that ue a fan to blow air through the...

That's a bit low. You might want to consider a 6" centrifugal inline fan with capacity for 450 - 600 cfm. You also have to figure your airflow with below since it will be somewhat obstructed by the carbon filter. I picked up a 6" fantech fx fan to match with my 6" yield master II supreme...

You should be aware that I talked to the owner of the hydroshop I deal with and 50% of their orders with hydrofarm are significantly backordered. Significant being 3 - 5 weeks minimum on all hydrofarm back orders. She specifically mentioned that it's been extremely difficult getting prompt...

looks like he has a hermie

I'm not sure if the new multiwatt lumateks still consume the full 600w when dimmed. It may be worth checking with a kill-a-watt etc. I'll pick one up when i setup next month and test it out.

Are you venting with a fan?

The new 600w with multiwatt will run a native 400w. You may as well get that one and you won't need to upgrade later.

I just picked up a brand new dimmable 600w lumatek with the multi-watt feature for $180 inc shipping. I decided to take this one over the nextgen and quantum product because it doesn't rely on a fan for cooling and thus produces less noise. In addition, the new multiwatt feature means I can...

first off, 18 or 24 hours doesn't matter. some growers use 18 hour on 6 off to save electricity during veg. As for cloning, your plant is already flowering. Clones should only be taken from plants in veg. Your plant has been flowering for some time. Something caused this plant to flower way...

Worst case scenario, the plant will flower and he can trim the buds off in 4 weeks then put the plant back on a 24 hour light cycle for 10 days to force it back into veg. Even if he continues to flower it now, it won't be a complete wash since the plant will likely triple in size while flowering...

it is really odd that your plant is in veg and showing calyx.
