I have trimmed fan leaves - since I read to do that - but now wait until the leaves actually show damage. My last cloning attempt yielded perfect looking mini-plants; instead of hacked up looking things. I have also totally removed all of the fan leaves and had very low success. I...

I think you want it dry so it can be ground up - better extraction.

I set up my (legal MMJ) room about a year ago and started with the T5 BB in veg, so I don't have any experience with MHs. In the past year, I have grown a few strains - white widow, white rhino, blue moonshine and sacra frasca. The ww and wr had tight internode spacing in veg. The...

I am using 4100K, 6500K and 3500K bulbs. Mostly 6500K (maybe 2 of the 6500 to the others), but trying to intermix the lot. If I look up from the floor and see a mix of bulbs, I call it good. I am sure there are better ways, but my plants are so happy, I can't mess with an awesome thing...

Old thread but perhaps my 2cents will help someone looking to purchase - I bought two 600w Lumatek ballasts and have been using them for nearly a year. Stupid me never saw the issues about the bulbs until I was recently in search of replacement bulbs. I have been using Hortilux and Solarmax...

If the BadBoy is not assembled correctly, it may not work right. Had that issue with my 4 bulb, as it was assembled at the factory. The thingey that the bulb snaps into was not quite on right - sorry for the verbage. Even a properly assembled lamp with improperly inserted bulbs =...

I think I had read about every thread I could find on cloning before I tried it myself. I read many books on the subject. I documented every tip that seemed worth while. Many people brag up aeroponics, so I made my own aeroponics cloner - 21 sites. Aquarium heater and air pump for a...

I now have three T5 Badboys - 2 of the 8 bulb and 1 of the 4 bulb. I was surprised at how much heat is produced by the three - substantially more then the initial 8 bulb and 4 bulb set up. I am using low stress training on my mothers now. Even the sativa mothers love the T5s and are...

I've done white widow and white rhino in the air-pots. I haven't seen the pots speed up the process, just improve yield. I tried to pull earlier then the recommended 63 days, by a week, and quality was compromised. No sense rushing a good thing. :thumb:

My grow is MMJ legal, so no SOG here. However, I do low stress training during veg to try and develop more bud sites. I have 2x 600w HPS (Radiant reflector) lights, for 6 plants. For the first few grows, the mover was turned off because of the noise issues. For the current grow...

I was getting so frustrated with the noises and then the stopped mover, I was ready to buy the heavy duty light rail mover. Communication attempts through the Argamover website were futile, and I had the light rail (5.0 I think) selected and ready to order. But sending emails through...

The owner of Agramover has been very helpful. A heavy duty spring is necessary for two lights on one mover. Two lights on one mover may require a rebuild annually; so if you invest in one of these, be sure to buy the rebuild kit. I think it's also important to clean the track often...

That looks like a good fan to me. Maybe if you google it, some user ratings will pop up. More then the fan sound, my issues are the vibration noises from the fans - floor trusses etc. I used lots of insulation and can still hear the fans. Not stealth at all. Good Luck

forgot to mention, there are a few photos on my gallery if I ever build one again, I'll definitely take step by step photos for now, it's doing it's job, so no poking around needed

Greetings 905jay - I wish I had taken more photos, as I built the thing - but I didn't. The other photos posted here pretty much give you the jist of the project though. Most of the photos that I have were taken from others' posts at various sites. Here's what I have in notes: (sorry -...
