is a 1k hps aircooled hood hooked up to my carbon scrubber and a free floatiing 600 watt hps enough lighting for a 8'x8'x7' area? The light from the 1k blends into the 600watt light keeping it bright even in the middle where plants don't have a light directly over them?

I've taken the tall plants by the main stock around the height i wanted it to be.....grab the stock squeeze it one twice and then bend it over...the plant will then just loop around and start growing again, only now everything thinks it's tops/cola and the plants will produce up to 1/3 more...

is it really that simple.....? I've been struggling with mini rockwool cubes, lost some of my clones...seems they damped off right where the stem meets the rockwool. I like the idea of just putting the cuttings in water and the roots form, like my moms used to do with the hanging house...

My seedlings are under four 4'..40watt t12 bulbs...two seperate double bulb ballasts. All the bulbs are brandnew there are three wide spectrum gro lux bulbs. They are growing nicely, staying short and growth is happening everyday. My question is....I don't have a MH light, I only have the ones I...

I have a homemade flood table with a center drain that doubles as the filler/drain. It's a 4x4x9"deep lined with epdm pond liner. I want to grow in 4" rockwool. I flooded a few cubes without plants in them and it takes a few days for them to dry out again. Is that how I judge when to flood...

Lookin good!!

does the doctor have to prescribe it? I'm under the understanding based on the application that the doctor just lists the ailments and that's enough to support the claim to use Medical marijuana?? If you have a confirmed case of whatever..aids, hep c, or whatever is covered then you should be...

drop the charges and leave the poor guy alone!!

i've also got some square pots with holes in the bottom, they're not net pots. I was thinking of starting some seeds in starter grodan cubes then once rooted well, put into 4" rockwool cubes and place onto about11/2" of hydroton and surround with hydroton throughout the pot and place in flood...

I've seen rockwool put directly into the table, sometimes stacked on top of one another....the 11/2" cube on the 4or6" cube....no hydroton or other mediums...someone told me the roots die when they hit the air and that the roots will stay in the cubes for that reason. Makes sense, but I'm...

the store bought tables have trough's along the bottom...the table I put together is really simple, it's a rubber pond liner overtop a wooden framed box...44"x35"x9" deep..i have two the exact same because i want to start a perpetual harvest and get some herb out of my room every month..I think...

does anyone have any experience or know of anyone who had uses an old bathtub as a reservoir, I have a 3.5ftx6ftx10"deep homemade flood table. I made it with the wood panels that surround a water bed and put a epdm rubber roof/pond liner inside it. I've installed the filler nozzle flush with the...

Re: Unknown Bagseed looks good, happy thanksgiving to you too....ours is already gone by over here in canada eh!!lol I've done a small grow like yours too, it's a hoot just watching them mature...take care~!

Reservoirs are expensive and im more of a do it yourselfer...do you think i could use a clawfoot bathtub as a res..would it be big enough for a table 44.5x69.5x4-5"deep when flooded???? the math says approx 54gallons would be needed..min. im just curious if it would be good, rather cool setup if...

very nice, is it by far cheaper to run those lights compared to hid's and does it diminish overall yield using those? I have one 1k hps, I bought a few mos. ago but I'm gonna need something smaller for veg. in the beginning, but will still likely flower under the hid. I do like what you've done...
