Thanks everyone, I think I've worked out something I can live with. I realize I came off a little harsh in my comment yesterday and I apologize. I was just frustrated no one had addressed my inquiry, and I didn't really understand the need for criticism as I just wanted some ideas on soil...

While I agree that FFOF is a good soil, have used it on a couple of grows, it is not readily available to me and is super expensive to have shipped,more so than it costs. I figured I could mix up something that could be somewhere between FFOF and plain topsoil. I'm a hobbyist indoor closet...

I'm putting together a simple soil mix but was unsure of the ratios needed. I've been searching some but don't feel like pouring through hundreds of threads to find the answers, so I was hoping some of you could help me out. Keep in mind this is not completely organic as I will be feeding with...

T5's need to be much closer to your plants, like within a few inches. They are brighter than cfl's but are still flourescents. What you are experiencing is called stretch, which can be resolved by moving your lights closer; and yes it is normal if your lights are a bit far away. A good test is...

I'm sort of thinking of designing a grow cabinet. I just wanted to know if venting with a carbon filter into an open room poses any health risks. I'm not entirely sure of what kind of airborne pollutants if any would be produced. Thanks.

Congrats man :). Love the little dro girl, :rofl:. That'll roll a nice joint or two. Happy growing!

Seriously, take it easy, especially if you hadn't blazed in a long time. Sounds like your not a heavy smoker either. I've tripped super hard off of a small joint way back in the early smoking days. I thought I was on acid, I was hearing and seeing stuff, and it was just weed, I know cuz I broke...

Wow didn't think this thread would get so popular :p. I've read through the stickies and plenty of great info as always. It just seemed most of them dealt with terminology and efficiency of lighting. Safety is there, just not as much. I had no idea toasters used 1400w :eek:. I'd imagine this...

I was wondering if anyone had some ideas on the do's and don'ts of lighting setups. In particular, diy lighting with something like cfl's or $20 hps. Also, I'm no electrician but it doesn't seem like I could plug a 1000w HID light directly into the wall. I think this stuff should be addressed...

You really don't need to use a proxy, the server is overseas (assuming your in the U.S.), there is a sticky here somewhere all about it. Also, there is an extreme abundance of info on this site, absorb as much as possible. I've never heard of anyone cloning in peat, that stuff is supposed to be...

That's all good and fine. I understand the concepts well enough. I was mostly concerned about using a carbon filter indoors, ph'ing water, and HOW to vent the light, maybe a link to something would help. Thanks again everyone.

I'm gonna ask some random questions and would like any and all who feel like replying to do so. These are some issues I feel unclear on. How does one cool something like a 400w mh/hps lamp? I mean what is needed and why is this necessary or beneficial? Does it relate to grow room temps, or is...

I've never used them however $350 is WAY too much to pay for 20 beans. I'm planning a big order from attitude seeds and it will cost around 200 bucks for 50 seeds and shipping, and they are killer strains. Check them out, they are sort of the middle man to reputable seedbanks and you can find...

I think I remember reading somewhere that it is mostly void of THC, but it is present in high concentrations, if that makes sense. Like a lot of the plant matter and junk is worthless, but some of the trichomes and hairs from your weed are left in small quantaties and contain concentrated doses...

While all of your suggestions have been helpful, I think I'll play it safe. No need to worry on vacation eh? Besides, I should be able to smoke where I'll be going, so it won't be too agonizing going without bud for a while after I get back. I think just growing will help take the edge off lol...

No, no one else will be able to water, as this is a stealth grow. I posed the question because I've seen numerous posts where others claim to go a week or more without watering their babies, I thought it was a fair question. However I have recently considered the fact that the will be in rather...

After much debate about when and how to grow I've become impatient and have decided to start immediately. I have a 150w hps and some bagseed and will be growing in a soil/perlite mix, approximately four plants. They won't be great I know, and this is more for the experience than final product, I...

Depends on many things, like strain, nutes, lighting, growing method, etc. More info is necessary for any kind of valuable response.

I actually haven't grown yet, but I'm pretty sure that you'll need way more lighting than that if you want anything more than stretched plants with tiny buds. Remember, at least five thousand lumens per square foot. I think you're refering to them as being 150w equivalents. There are actual 150w...

Legal buds are much different than salvia. If you google the term Legal Buds you'll see what it is. Basically something that looks like good weed and is legal everywhere because it doesn't do anything but create nasty smoke. I was wrong to assume everyone knew what it was. If you live in a state...
