I agree with this. I have also found that using insect screening greatly reduces air flow. I tested this a few years ago, plants inside the cage were not "fluttering" with the breeze like the ones placed just outside the cage. So I pointed a fan at the cage and sure as $#!+ the screening acts...

I'm a northeast coastal resident in an isolated area where a generator is a must. If for nothing else than to provide heat for the plants. I'm just a "better safe than sorry" person. Less stress for me & them.

AW, c'mon give him "wat" he wants....you'll get at least a pound a plant..:holysheep:..:rolleyes:....ok back to the picture gallery.....

OK, so I use a small Sunbeam heater in my tent and even though I removed the red light that illuminates one of the dials, I noticed that when it cycles on, it emits a "flash" of white light. It only flashes for a split millisecond but with the inside of the tent being fully reflective it scared...

O K, I know this is "nitpicky" and I'm an old codger but one of my simple rules: each new grow means a new notebook. Compile enough of them and you have your own private reference system. This is how we did things before the great inter-webby thing. green luck to you.........

:yeahthat:

Hmm... looks like a deer tick, a bit reddish maybe a trace of brown.....IDK 100% but where I am there are thousands of these little B@$+@rds. More harm to you & pets than your plants but I'm make'n a guess being the pic is so small.

Well, here's an example of a 400w MH bulb run 40 days at 24/7 in a glass sealed hood with 6" exhaust vent & fan. Maybe just a flaw in glass manufacturing--but I'll be giving the replacement bulb a "rest" on my next grow........

"I thought she was a call girl" .....lol....

Nice harvest and love that drying rack...

Welcome bubbawhale, ah yes, early '70s, Southeast Asian war games--USA, second place--consolation prize, some of the best weed [at the time] ever smoked.

I ran my 400w MH 9" from the tops and don't have a cool tube. Glass bottom 6" vented hood. "General rule is: place your hand over tops of plants palm down--if the light hitting the back of your hand is too hot/uncomfortable--light too close. Please don't burn the ladies...........

Yeah, L H , I just e-mailed HTG they said send it back and it will be replaced. They told me that if I was in veg for 24/0 the light needs a rest once a week for 15-20 minutes. I'm in flower now with the HPS. Will use a different light schedule for the next veg. with MH or go floro. This indoor...

I just removed my MH to start flower and my bulb has a heat bubble. This bulb was run 24/0 for 40 days in a 6" vented hood with fan in ducting. Anyone ever had this happen?

New to indoor growing. Compared to my outdoor grows, this NL at day 32 from sprout is the densest/compact plant I've ever had,8-9" tall. My question, is this due to light-400w MH, light schedule-24/0, or both? I'm guessing no dark period equals no stretch? I plan to start flower in 10 days or...

OK fellow tent growers, #31 reporting in and I have a question about LSTing. I usually grow outdoors,so I just let them do their own thing. LST may be low stress for the plant but its becoming high stress for me. ATM I'm 31 days from sprout-3 NL, 1 LAW--400w MH, 24/0. How do you guys find the...

I too grow in a basement, small tent [20"x36"x60"],to combat low humidity I placed a cool mist humidifier in the tent. I run 400w MH/HPS--vented hood. It took a while to get the right balance of air flow using vent holes -- cool air come'n in at the bottom, hot air out the top. Now its...

um..pcduck & THG, the light change was not to give the plant a rest but rather the light/ballast. Are you suggesting by run'n 24/0 will offer shorter/quicker veg time [say 4wks instead of 6] before i switch to 12/12 with HPS? So many different light schedules to choose from-[this inside stuff is...

THG, thanks for the reply. The light change is just personal choice to give the light a 6 hour a day rest, after run'n 24/7 for 3 weeks.

I usually grow outdoors and have never misted/sprayed my plants. I'm trying an indoor grow. Is it necessary to mist or is this an option one chooses? My sprouts are 10 days old,under 400w MH, 24/0. Just afraid any water/moisture would burn the leaves. I will be switching to 18/6 in a few days, I...
