Hey Looking real nice. Question for ya. How far away from your plant tops is your light? You lose lumens exponentially with distance. It looks as tho you are getting some stretching. I could be wrong, I am still pretty new to this.:p GL. Ill be back to watch this one...:hubba:

Well I got my mogul base socket. I assembled my DIY cooltube. Took it apart and modified it a bit and now have it all set. I have set it up to test for the next 2 days. I want to make sure the ventilation is going to be enough. I might only give it 36 hours to test (2 on cycles, 1 off) just...

OK so I am just waiting for my HPS light socket to show up and then I can assemble my flowering box. It will be kept in a secure room that is kept at right around 70. A converted wardrobe that will have 4 4" PVC light traps 2 with fans that move 120cfm each at the top in the back.. The other...

Ok, you got me Hick. :) I have grown lots of plants just never MJ.;) I tried to pull the garlic out of one of the pots (the one I underfilled) and it was completely root bound. So I finally broke down and filled the rest of the pot. I'm pretty sure the little lady(I hope) liked it...

Thanks Mutt. I am getting ready to sex my first batch of plants. I think I will get to know this strain a little better before messing with my light spectrum. I have been using 4 6500k 4 ft floros for veggin and will be using a 430w agro son HPS for flowering. I was just looking to maximize...

Thanks for the mojo! I hope things go well and they don't end up males. I plan on moving the others to my flowering box in another week of so. It won't be long before I can sex them. I already have 4 sprouts of Durban Poison started and ready to go. The DP will be able to start vegging 2 days...

Hi. I have occasionally read of people using UVB lights (sometime known as "iguana" lights) to help with flowering. Does anyone have any experience with this? And if so, is it a good technique for a first time grower? Thanks in advance...

The plant that I have been LSTing has been growing great once it got some more soil to work with. It is going to be a beast. The plant that I topped and transplanted into the 14" pot has been a little stunted. I should have waited for the plant to recover from being topped before transplanting...

So I may have said I was going to treat each plant a little different. I figure this is my first grow I gotta experiment some. I started LSTing one of the plants. I topped one which was transplanted into a 14' pot. The one that started in the 10" pot was left alone. For the fourth, I found a...

At this point I decided to get serious and do things right. I went online and read forums for hours and journals for days. I stopped for a couple days to let it all sink in then read it all again. I had to slowly build up the lighting that I am using which currently (hehehe get it) using which...

Well here it goes. This is the first ever thing I have post in any forum anywhere. I figure if I am gonna do it there is no better place then here:hubba: . I have started using organic soil mixed with perlite and some other stuff. To be honest I don't remember all what I used for my original mix...
