My 600 HPS runs too hot in my grow room so I'm keeping it on hold. However, I'm trying to construct a cool tube by the end of the week. I'm also thinking of shifting the light schedule so it runs at night. Something like 7 or 8 pm to 7 or 8 am. Anyone have experience with this? How much will...

Does anyone know where I could get a hollow glass tube to use for my potential cool tube? I've currently got a 600w HPS on hold until I can come up with something to manage the heat.

I started flower on May 5th (Cinco de Mayo!), and I'm wondering if it would be too late to top my plants. Any advice/experience someone could relate?

Currently, it's simply way too hot to be using the 600w HPS in my room, at least for veg. So I've set up some CFLs in its stead. But when I flower (hopefully soon) I want to get some of that nice budfat:hubba:. I've heard your bud with CFLs is airy, not as dense, which to me equates to less...

I'm currently enduring 100+ degrees F in the grow room. I've looked into portable air conditioners, but they're all a little too pricey. So today I bought a window AC unit for my room. My room is in an attic and there isn't much airflow, let alone windows, but there are openings by the spot...

I recently just finished a Lowryder 2 Grow, and i pollenated one of my femmes so I could have seeds for grow number two. After about 4 days in wet paper towels, and now two days in soil I've got nothing. When I put the seeds in soil it looked like they were just starting to crack, but I wasn't...

I've got some autos going, so I need seeds. I've fertilized some of the females. Should I harvest them at normal time, dry them, and get the seeds then? Or do I just wait for the seeds to fall out of the buds (do they even do that?)? If I have to harvest and dry, do I just allow normal drying...

Is this effective? Esp. w/ LowRyder2, which does not get very tall in the first place. Has anyone had success? Advice?

I just picked up a 600w Lumatek ballast and everything else needed for the light kit? Can anyone give me instructions on how to assemble the whole shabang? It came with everything I should need: ballast, wires, bulb, reflector. I'm just electrical/light engineering handicapped.

I read about how adjusting factors in the environment (humidity, temp, nutes, lighting) can produce more females than males. However the post says to adjust these around the third or fourth week of veg. When would you make the adjustments to the environment w/ autos to boost your female:male ratio?

How many lowryders should i be able to grow under one 400w HPS? Space availability isn't an issue. Thanks

I found a store in the area that sells HPS ballasts for a pretty cheap price. What is everything I would need to assemble my own grow lamp? Bulb, ballast, but where would i get the socket part?

I'm thinking of growing in a basement that might not have much access to outside air. I understand that plants need fresh air, presumably because it would be richer in CO2? Under this assumption, could keeping hamsters or some other pet in the same room as the plants help in getting them...

Just another neighborhood kid trying to grow some stuff. Thanks in advance to those who will help me in my endeavors.
