I bought a timer for my 600w ballast. The package says it can handle up to 1800w, 120v and it's 15 amps. I'm not sure if the timer is the problem, but whenever the timer comes ON, the ballast turns on but not the light bulb. I know it sounds weird, but if I turn off my ballast and turn it...

Saw this in the news the other day. Made me chuckle. hXXp://www.wsaz.com/news/headlines/78187767.html

Hey all. I germinated 5 seeds (bought from bidzbay...straight from subcool...strain is Jack The Ripper) on Monday and I checked on them today. They are about 72 hours old using the "paper towel" method and I noticed something I've never seen before. It appears that two of the seeds have two...

I just purchased a grow tent (2x4x5) What cfm do you recommend I get? I have 40 cubic feet right? So I need an exhaust fan that is 40+ cfm? EDIT: OK. I think I found the answer to my question. I think I'm gunna go with a 120 cfm so I can exchange the air 3 times a minute. I like THG...

I have a grow tent that's 2ftx4ftx6ft and I'm using a 600w HPS lighting system. Can I just ventilate the the whole tent or do I need to vent the lighting system AND the whole tent?

Hey all, long time no post. After two successful grows using CFL's, I'm eager to start growing with an HPS. However, I have a question. Has anyone used an HPS from beginning to end without using the MH? Anyone use just an HPS for flowering AND vegging? Just curious. Thanks:D

What's up everyone. I'm doing an all CFL grow with Nirvana's Northern Lights and today exactly marks the 6th week of 12/12. I have a lot of amber, roughly 30%, and I'm wondering if I should harvest now? I'm surprised that all this amber is showing up this early. I'm only at 42 days...

When using hydrated lime mixed with water, do you have to pH the hydrated lime water mixture?

Just an information question. I didn't notice this until I did my watering today. I was trying to get a good sample of run off to test for the ph of the soil. As I was gathering the run off I noticed how much "ran" off. I am growing in 1 gallon pots with FFOC. I gave them 1 gallon of water...

i planted my beauties about a month ago. i'm using Fox Farm Ocean Forest in one gallon pots Unfortunately, I'm having some pH issues and the pH of my soil is low. I know its better to add the lime before you plant, but if I sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons per gallon on top of the bed will it help out?

How do I increase/decrease the pH of the SOIL. I've read that the use of buffers like dolomite lime can help increase the pH, but that's if it's pre-mixed into the soil. So, how can I change the pH of my SOIL? *I am using Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil with the trio of liquid nutrients, although...

Soil test kits, soil ph meters, run off? I was thinking about using the test kits. What do you guys think?

I'm using a Ph control kit with Up/Down solutions. It says "Simply fill the test-tube halfway with nutrient, add a few drops of pH Test Indicator, and observe the coloration of the liquid in the test vial." When it says "halfway with nutrient..." do they mean the water? So after I fill the...

I bought distilled water last week but didn't use it all. How long can I keep the water? Does it go "bad", ph wise?

a heavy body stone along with that cerebral, soaring, almost hallucinating high?:stoned: What strain do you guys think has the best of both worlds?

Hi everyone. Exactly two weeks ago, I germinated 4 seeds. All four germinated but only three lasted. So I germinated one more and now I have 3 two week old babies and 1 one week old. March 7th, Planted NL #1-3 March 14th, Planted NL #4 As the title states, I'm using CFL's (6500K for VEG...

Hi all. Quick question. I read and heard that (as a general rule) sativa dom plants are "heady" highs and indica dom plants are "couch lock" high. I've also read that the clear/cloudy stages of the trichomes will give you a more "heady" high and cloudy/more amber trichomes will give you...

Sup everyone. Quick question. What's the longest you've let your auto plant go? I got some diesel ryders at 56 days which means I got 7 days until the recommended harvest time(65days). But I want the 60%amber:40%milky ratio. My trichs are mostly cloudy with some clear. I would say I have a...

Sup people. These are my four dieselryder ladies and I got a couple of questions. I'm a week and a half away from the recommended harvest date(9 weeks). Most of the trichs are cloudy and only a handful are clear. And the ones that are amber are like diamonds in the rough. So I'm going to...

Quick question. It seems that some people trim/manicure BEFORE they dry. And then I see some people dry first and then start to manicure. Does it matter if I dry first or manicure first? What does everyone here do? All my other past grows went wrong so I've never had a chance to really...
