Ok. So I did a big no-no; I began growing before the 'new' room was ready. Because of this, I have a backlog of plants, so I am considering flowering with 4' HO floros; no more room in HPS area. Heres the question.? Since I have an 8-bulb unit, is it best to get 8 bloom tubes of 3k? Or use 4...

Hey! So I am 22 days into flowering and wondering what to do about all the extra and spindly leaf growth. The mistake first began when I started growing before completely finishing the grow room. I did not top or train, so by the time I started flowering, I was dealing with 6' plants. To help...

The flowering space in the room is 8ft x 5.5ft x 10ft (LxWxH). I am currently using a NextGen 400w/600w ballast (600w feature), LumenAir 6 air-cooled reflector (25"x17.75"x8.5"), and EYE Hortilux HPS bulb. Two walls are painted flat white, while the other two are covered from top to bottom with...

So whats the deal with switching flowering times by 12 hours? For instance, I am currently on a 7am-7pm light cycle, but after further research, and other reasons, I want to switch the lights on to 7pm-7am, what's the best way to do this? And also, if possible, I am open to other reasons why one...

Hello! I am looking for some assurance either way: male or female.? I do believe it is a male. I have only been flowering for 4 days, but plant was fully matured before 12/12. The point of concern is directly in the middle of the pictures; although, these 'banana' looking things are starting to...

Is there any downside when using a 6" Vortex fan, then using a 6" to 4" reducer, connected to a 4" duct hose, in order to control space a little better? I live in an apartment, so would rather run 4" ducting then a 6". Maybe even use a 6" semi-rigid duct between Vortex fan and 6"-4" reducer...

.. With so many reflectors, which design or company to go with? My grow room tent dimensions are: 2'7 x 4'11 x 6'7, I am using a 600 watt Hortilux bulb, NextGen Ballast, and a 6" Vortex fan. Heating issues need to be considered, so am looking on the lines of a cool reflector; not a cool tube...

Hey MP members! Sorry I have not been on in a while to follow up on my threads and what not, but I plan to catch up here in the next few days. My question this time is concerning timers. I recently made an aeroponic cloner, plans drawn up by StinkBud, but can't seem to find an inexpensive timer...

Howdy! Beginner grower here with some leaf problems. From seed I am growing a Skunk#1 in soil; 1/3(LW) 2/3(FFOF), in a 12oz. plastic cup, with an inch or so of hydroton clay, and 3 drainage holes. The seed was scarified, pre-soaked, and then planted in a rapid rooter for germination purposes...

TGIF! .. So I am growing 5 Durban's from Sensi Seeds in Grodan starter mini-blocks. 5 days ago they were scarified, pre-soaked for 22 hours, and planted into the pre-soaked/flushed rockwool for germination. They were under a heat mat, humidity dome, and in darkness for about 60 hours before the...

So I am looking to purchase the next stage of lights for my four flower-readying plants. Problem is, can't decide which way to go. My flowering room is: 5 feet long 3 feet deep 8 feet high (To the top of ceiling; Will be using steel chains to adjust height) Temps range between 70-80 in a well...

Hello, I am trying to fine tune my temperatures for the germination process, using Rockwool Mini-Cubes, in a humidity dome, with heat mat and controller. I pulled out my commercial heat mat and began tinkering with the temperature controller. Set it between 74-75. I have a window temperature...

So I decided to germ this time around using rockwool. I picked of a pack of 'Starter Mini-Blocks', 1.5" blocks, and pH'd a bowl of water to 5.5. Next, I placed 3 Mini-Blocks in the bowl of pH'd water, and soaked them for 12 hours(I was told to do this in order to release the glue on rockwool.?)...

Afternoon'. I am seeking feedback and opinions on nutrients. I am a first time grower, and started from seeds in a soil mix of FFOF/LW. My plants are in a grow tent under a T5 light. Here are my 3 choices: FF: Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Open Sesame. DutchMaster: One Grow, Max Grow, and Silica...

Hi. So I got my beans to pop through the soil, but then I ran into a couple of problems. First, I believe I have major stretching going on. I have a 4' 8-bulb T5, which I am only using 4 bulbs during the seedling growth, placed 18 inches above the top of the soil. Should I move the light within...

Well whoever said, 'beginner's luck is on your side', wasn't really talking about me. Want the short version? Ok, ordered 21 beans from Attitude, scarified them, soaked seeds for 18 hours, then did the whole paper towel method. Everything went smoothly up until this point, but the rest, for the...

So here it is: I am new to growing and been having my fair share of problems. I have done the research; books, magazines, internet, etc., but yet still not having the best of luck. I am using a Sunleaves Pioneer VIII. It contains eight, four-foot VitaLUME PLUS T5 grow tubes(54w/6,500k). The T5...
