I got two plants 1. Think it's Big Bud at 2'-3". Has long thin fan leaves. 2. Think is Hollands Hope much broader leaves and is 1'-7". I'm starting my 2nd week of flowering. I never saw preflowers and was already in about 8 - 10 weeks of veg. I switch the lighting schedule and the #2 plant...

These are a few pics I took if you look closely you can see the damage done by the lamp. I bought a cheap fan to move the air and leave the door cracked so hot air escapes. Going back on the subject of temperature and ventilation. Is a vented hood a must to keep temperature right...I didn't...

Wow this concept clicked just now. This is a great idea. I made a purchase of a reflector that had an open batwing design. Now that I tried that out and saw how hot it got...I was beginning to think it was impossible to have a light so close to plants canopies w/o burning them. Any ideas where I...

That's exactly what I've done "leave the door open with a fan" pulling hot air out of the closet. What's the difference between this type of setup vs a 'ventilation system'...once custom and the other is pricier and premanufactured? As a result of leaving the door cracked and a fan pulling...

What can I do to repair the high temp damage?

Thanks that makes sense. I'm having trouble finding an economical ventilation system. I'll post on progress made and provide pics. What can I do besides dropping the temperature to fix the damage

I just made a switch from two 20w fluro to one 400w Metal Hallide w/ reflector in my apartment closet. After the first day I noticed my babies were burning with temperature around 95 F. I don't have a fan blowing and I'm looking to add one to the system. Will the fan actually decrease the...

I had an idea I wanted to share w/ you guys see what you thought. I thought of buying white colored Visqueen (thick white plastic sheets), cut them up the the closets wall dimensions and staple them w/ a heavy duty stapler. That would essentially give me an enclosed environment...would that work...

I was planning on keeping most of it under neath chicken wire. I need major help though and should take steps to correcting this just haven't figured it out yet. I dont have an enclosed environment and simply leave them in a closet environment under 2 20w fluros. I want to be able to control...

Yeah I know they're ideal for the outdoor grower, but it's what I got and I can't grow them outside. Should this be something that I should consider, mimic an outdoor environment?

I do have a ph meter but I question it's accuracy I got it for $10 at OSH just like the one I saw in one of Jorge Cervantes books, but the needle hardly moves when I put it into the dirt. I suspect the soil being little over 7 but under 8, what can I do to adjust the ph to my babies? What's the...

I am growing a couple ladies and I'm interested in providing an enclosed environment. The only area that I have is a closet where I keep my clothes. I have an approximate 10 SF area and about 4ft in height. I think the easiest set up for me would be stapling visqueen plastic onto the walls with...

I used to get a lot more help from everyone the first time I enlisted. What do I need to do?

I've got 2 Hollands Hope growing indoors for about 3 weeks now. I'd like to find out more about these plants and what to expect. How much dry weight can I expect in how long and how potent is it? Anybody have pics, reviews or personal experiences...please share.

These are a few pics of what I got cooking in my closet. Pic 1 and 2 show the oldest of the all 3 hollands hope and is becoming yellow at the tips from bottom towards the top of plant...the stem has turned whitish and is looking frail. You can see its size compared to pic 3 and 4. The biggest of...
