this is very hard to recommend as there are many variables. Is it possible to get a small cfl lamp. I actually use those "trouble lites" that is a extension cord and can hold 1 lite. This will only work for 1-3 plants and you can have it as close or as far as necessary. I have torched(400 hps)...

It starts officially when you go into 12-12. You can "veg" a plant for as little or long as you desire. the plant starts it changes when it receives 12 hours of darkness. The plant needs this to flower and it has to be dedicated.. no leaks. If you do your part which is food and lights let the...

greetings, I am also interested in some answers on this. I think there is a "sticky" on collecting pollen. You will get some quality answers as soon as the board wakes up. :D for your grow

you have the best info from some of the board's best growers. I am inpatient to start my next grow but right now I can't. Waiting is the hard part but makes it all worthwhile. Let the growing process finish your plants. Do the lite test like dirty os stated. I feel your lite may be a little to...

as Mutt stated they will grow larger. I have not heard of the food and nutes you stated. To give you accurate advice we need a better picture of your grow. your lights are great but proper feeding is very important.:D for your grow

exactky what ia a non-lady and did we loose members by choice or non-choice?

I do not know much about the spectrum of lights. I do know I have grown good plants with an hps light and thats what I advocate. The right amount of light is important to me(5k lumens/sq.foot) instead of the spectrum. You stated you have 4 sq feet so that would be 200 watts of lights. You can...

I am not an expert but I have a ballast that can accept both style lites. I bought this as a kit at htgsupply.com which has everything you might need. I believe the ballast has an internal "switch" that allows you to switch the bulbs as you desire. 1 of the bulbs would be considered...

Greetings, right now with the 150 you do not have enough light. The board recommends 5000 lumens per sq foot. Like the ukgirl stated the more the merrier with lights but try to get another 150hps and you would be set. ALSO<, 3 full grown plants(unless dwarfs) will not fit into your space to...

Greetings, finally vindication for all of the times I yelled and cussed at a little pocket microscope. I have looked for the eye clops at walmart with no luck. NOW,after 2 years of messing with it my radio shack "eye" works flawlessly. :D for everyone's grow

Greetings D.South your plants look awesome. I feel you will have some massive buds there. If you click on your "name" you can add links to your signature that will lead to your grow journal. :D for your grow

Greetings Deg. disc, your grow looks good so far and i think you will be fine. It is hard to Guess what you might get from a yield. The amount and quality of light makes a huge difference. The hps lites you have might save the day as far as yield. You could pull around a 1/2 ounce or so per...

Greetings, jeffg, you have come to the right place for growing info. I liked your post because 2 years ago I started with info from this site. UKGirl, you just added 1 to many zero's thats all. I actually hate the seedling stage as your plant is at its most vulnerable. PCduck it right on the...

Greetings, have you gently pushed the seeds under the water so they go to the bottom. I believe if they just float they won't sprout.I use the papertowel method and have a good success rate. Do not soak your towel but rather have it damp. I usually allow 2 days and then check the dampness. A...

greetings, I wanted to tell you to read up as much as possible before you start. i am not familiar with hydro and I know you will get the responses. I also know the majority of the board likes it when peeps figure out there own grows and gardens by using the available info on the board. Don't...
