Duly noted. Thanks, MPB

I've noticed that some of the leaves (not receiving as much direct light) will have water condensed on their shaded areas. What are they trying to tell me? MPB

Nice... I can see the beginnings of some dense bud formations. I look forward to seeing what the handycam will do. There's nothing like hi-res bud porn. Too bad we can't post video, it would make tutorials much more effective and engaging. I swear I've perfected every environmental variable in...

Those are some crystal clear shots of your tent walls, but I'm sure the plants look gorgeous too, lol. If you want to get those close-up shots without having to buy a telephoto lens and a digital slr camera, hold a magnifying glass in front of your camera and adjust the distances between plant...

"A halide is a binary compound, of which one part is a halogen atom and the other part is an element or radical that is less electronegative than the halogen, to make a fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, or astatide compound. Many salts are halides. All Group 1 metals form halides with the...

I, too, think LED is the lighting technology of the future (to the extent of lighting technology that we know exists / who can guess what the government is still hiding from us?) due to it's ability to produce finely tuned frequencies of light at increasing higher REwatts. Eventually, I suspect...

I believe I understand the gist of what you're trying to say. I just posted this in the "Lights" section a few minutes ago and I think it's what's been missing in our language when discussing light and lighting systems. I did some reading on Wiki about lumens; they are "a measure of the...

Please do elaborate on that point. "...over the long term...", what does that mean with respect to the "results" you have witnessed? I haven't purchased anything yet, but I will need to make a decision soon. As of now, THG has proposed the most feasible solution but I am still open to...

Damn, those things are the cat's ***. That's a waaaaaay better deal. The bulbs aren't even that bad at $7ea for ~20khr. Do you think I really need two?

The eBay seller reported 1350 lumens/fixture on the 5W/LED, 5LED/Fixture fixture. Wha da ya think? MPB

Well, folks it's been a long ride. Ended up with four, bud producing girls in late flowering. They are spindly, little popcorn nugs that I allowed to be pollinated by all of the hermie pollen floating around just to see if I could make some feminised seeds and a little middy bud to smoke. I...

Just thought I'd update this thread and mention that the GH Up/Down proved to be MUCH more stable and potent than the pond and aquarium pH adjuster that I was using before. I discovered that the foam was due to a fungicidal paint coating the inside of the res lid. Nutes are clear now and plants...

You know if I put "LED vs. Fluoro" nobody would have viewed the thread. But, seriously, I've had to make some adjustments to my setup and I need to choose what lighting to use for my veg chamber. I've read plenty of grow journals and endless commentary on fluoro vs. LED, but they don't really...

Ultimately your space is what limits you to how much you can produce. Bigger plants make bigger buds, so you have to ask yourself if you prefer a larger quantity of smaller buds or a few big ones. If you're just growing for yourself, it makes more sense to me to do a couple of big plants simply...

I've asked the same question about cloning from clones and there are three considerations that I've come across. The first consideration is time; the biological clock in all species starts ticking at the point of conception. From that point on there is a finite amount of time that that organism...

I've been sitting here for at least ten minutes contemplating where to begin describing the problems that arose at this point. I suppose I'll start with foam, and not the kind in nightclubs that results in naked horny girls. This is the foam that appeared in my res after mixing four gallons of...

I have some BB to try after I get the grow tuned well enough that I'm not afraid I won't 'F' it up. MPB

Oh Stoney, if only I had met you many months ago. I believe, as you will read, that I have successfully done every one of those mistakes and then some and have most definitely made this, "My learning grow". Thanks for the support, I look forward to your input. MPB

Knowing the dangers involved in the quest I was about to embark upon, I made security paramount in the design of my newest facility. Even in deciding to try this again I had to overcome great anxiety and at every stage of procurement and construction, faced new fears. If there is ever one...
