Re: 5.4 sq. feet....is 250w adequate? By the way I got a figure of 5 feet exactly for your grow area. 3'x 1.66' = 5 square feet - 50 watts per square foot puts you at exactly 250 watts. They say never too much light but one would likely run into issues with a 400w setup in that space I am...

The leaves growing yellow and falling off does not indicate that it is harvest time. It could be the plant is dying from lack of nutrients or water or sabotage even.

Hey there, I was just reading that if the roots are kept within range the rest of the plant can stand up to most anything within reason. So a solution may be to get a fish tank heater and adjust to the reach ideal root temp. After that... your likely in fine shape unless it gets' under 40*F or...

August 1: second plant peeked up from the coir. Looks like the process of soaking for 24 hours in purified water then a few days in the paper towel method at 75-80*F works fine. So now both plants are in vegetation mode. Going with 16 on 8 off so I can schedule to tend to the garden during...

Alyzarin, This is just speculation on my part. Still, I think an Indica dominant hybrid would be affective for OCD. Primarily because it aids in relaxation. A hybrid because a pure Indica may cause "drowsiness" and otherwise put a damper on productivity. I also have a hunch that the CBD...

Put a bunch of rocks in there to hold on to the heat when it's lights out?... and a speed control on the fan and set lower, just to keep some movement.

In those conditions HID lighting seems ideal!

Hello KingJohn, I checked out your LA grow and I will incorporate a light baffle intake such as the design you shared. Thanks!! Looking to make this one stealthy as well.

Hello 420, Starting my first grow ever. Here's what I have come up with... Grow Chamber: 19 x 22 x 66 inch via converted pantry (2.88 square foot area and a volume of 17 cubic feet) Plant: UK Cheese x Blue Cindy from seed # of Plants: 1 -2 per grow Lights: CFL (as many as heat level allows)...

Hey, I think I saw a few amber pistils! Wait till like 1/2 are orangey "amber". Aint that right guys.?..I am also a newbe. They are very small it seems to me, but hey they are maturing. Is that light like 5 feet away? If so, cool that it can be done so easily.:goodjob:

Re: 5.4 sq. feet....is 250w adequate? Logan Edwards, author of 'Growing Great Marijuana" suggests 30-50 HID watts per square foot. So at 5.4 square feet he suggests something between 162 to 270 watts. Seems like your right on target. Good luck!

For a single plant you can even just get one of those 150 watt HID all in one units for less than $100! One plant could be grown in a 2 x 2 foot area so at 30 to 50 watts per square foot calls for 120 to 200 watts. If you want mammoth growth from a single plant maybe a 250 watt all in one set...
