I'm building one of these PVP greenhouses and I want to do it using thsoe cement blocks with the metal fittings in them for the base.. like the kind that are used on a carport.. Does anyone know where I can find those?

Me too.. :) I want to put it into effect and post pictures on MP... but first, I need to know the minimum amount of light that will keep a plant in veg and then I need to find out if christmas lights hung around the plants and on stakes around the plants have that kind of output.... Anyone?

I'm running out of space in my light addition vegging greenhouse for my long season plants and I don't want to build another greenhouse... It's warm enough over here so I'm thinking about just moving some outside and stringing them up with white led christmas lights. My question is, do you...

I think it's also going to depend a lot on the strain and the height of the plant. If you veg a GDP for two-three months and top it to turn it into a bush then the whole thing is likely to be one large mass of thick fan leaves and there's no way light is going to penetrate into that After...

Thanx for the response, BP.... Some of the Sour Diesels started to improve a little but not as fast as I thought they would. I checked the soil run off and it's PH 6.8 on the SDs. I read that it should be between 6 and 7 but I've run across some articles that say different. I'm using Sunshine...

your rooms are beautiful to behold... I see that you have fans blowing right on your girls... I do that too. I use nine oscilating fans to get a nice breeze on each plant most of the time. Do you have any tips on the ideal distances the light should be from the plants? Do you use a light...

OG and Sour and basically very close cousins... or something closer than close cousins, that they only have a name for in hick towns.. ;) I'm digging the idea that both East Coast and West Coast are obsessed with herb that is so similar. I had a friend that was regularly getting Sour D from me...

I'm doing mostly SD outdoor in a light dep this season...Maybe let a few go long season. I've already started vegging the beautiful ladies and I'm guesstimating they'll go outside around May 1st with supplement light for a little while. I haven't decided if I'm going to go organic or not...

thanks for the responses. I think the high PPMs definitely are part of it and I've lowered them to less than half that and switched over to RO water. I'll see what happens in a few days.

I've been working with what looks like nute lock out. I've posted some pics in the Sick Plants forum. I've switched over to RO water completely and today I gave them a feeding with a lowered PPM of 720 (60 of it being the RO water) and 6.3 PH. For the last three days I turned off the lights...

Hi, The plants shown are Sour Diesel and Master Kush they have discoloration of the leaves, droopiness, raised "ribs" on the leaves, and some purple/brownish blotches that rot the leaf away on the Master Kush. The weird thing is that I have the same plants in practically the same...

Welcome, home-skillets. Good eye bubba902, those girls in the pic are indeed unhappy. I took the picture when I first entered the room and they were in need of water. I don't live right next to the grow and I'm still getting the watering schedule down. Speaking of water.... Time to beat my...

Hi there, I've never posted a complete grow journal. I usually get bored around the middle and then too busy towards the end. Now, I know there are a lot of grow journals around so you might be saying to yourself hey this is just one more BUT I'm hoping that some of you guys might become at...

Thanks, everyone. All of the advice makes sense to me so I'm going to do it all. I've dialed down my lights from 600 super lumen to 400 and kept them at about 2-2.5 feet. Shut off the CO2 so it's around 250-300. I have a minisplit and it's keeping the temps at around 80 degrees most of the...

Thanks guys that all makes good sense to me. I'm wondering though why would my ppm be so high if I'm only feeding them medium strength nutes? Like two teaspoons per gl when it calls for 1 to 3?
