The dimensions of my upcoming grow room will be 4'4"x4'4"x6'7", so a total of 142 cubic feet. I will be using an 8" Can Max fan to cool the reflector, but I don't know what would be the best option for exchanging the air in the room; Two 667cfm 8" Can Max fans (1 intake+1 exhaust) or one 10"...

I was thinking of ways to maximize root growth in a given area, and I thought custom made cubical containers would be most efficient in space while allowing plenty of room for root growth. If 1 plant per square foot is started, assume with the edges of the container that the dimensions of soil...

I really like these containers and want to use them for my next grow. They're 6 gallons and slightly less than 1 foot in diameter, but the only issue is that they're white. I don't want to allow light to get to the roots, but since the containers are made of durable plastic and since I will be...

About a week ago I went on vacation, and came home to find out that the light cycle was delayed 4 hours due to a power outage. The leaves were thinned out and wilting, the stems were floppy and weak, there was some "bronzing" occurring on one of the leaves, and some dead/dying leaves near the...

I just noticed these at one of the nodes of my 5 week old plant, I was examining the nodes closely looking for preflowers when they caught my eye. It doesn't look like one of those green spikes that appear at every node, it is shorter and thinner, as well as a different color than them. It also...

Well, not the whole thing, just one switch. Here's the story: I have a 600W lamp, and about once a day the circuit breaker switches off the power upstairs because apparently 600W is a "dangerous" amount of power? I don't know, I know absolutely nothing about electricity whatsoever. I just know...

I don't know why people do this. It causes stress, and restricts air flow to the roots since you have to pack down the soil before transplant. I could understand if you want to switch the soil medium from something that's better for seedlings to a "hotter" soil, but I do that easily even when...

I figured I'd start this Grow Journal before all the equipment gets here... I will be growing 4-5 plants in soil in a 5'x2'x7.7' closet, it's a strain called "Autum Fall" which is a 50/50 Sativa/Indica cross of Northern Lights, Hawaii, and Lowryder. Grows short to medium height. Pic 1...

This is something I've been wondering about for awhile now. If light entering the growroom during lights-off periods is so detrimental (and I know it is), how do outdoor plants cope with it? No matter what, there will be at least some light shining on the plants 24/7, the night sky is not pitch...

I have mostly everything for my upcoming grow ready besides ventilation. Once the two 6 inch inline duct fans arrive, I'll be putting one through the ceiling with a winding flexible duct to the outside (to ensure no light can enter), and the intake fan will be constructed the same way, pulling...

Apparently a lot of people here consider it "wrong" to sell the weed you grow, and it completely baffles me to no end. If you didn't have your own plants growing, EVERY ONE of you would be out trying to find weed to buy, or would be calling up someone you know to buy a bag. So why the hate?

I've been wondering about this for awhile as the same question applies to human heredity. Say you buy White Widow seeds from a legit seedbank, say an online seedbank that carries Nirvana's variety of it (as an example). How do you, and the breeder, know that it is the actual strain of White...

How do you guys do it? I keep on reading about these small little (non-SoG!) closet grows that have 8-10 plants in a 10 sq ft area or whatever. My grow area is 10 sq ft and I can only fit FOUR 5 gallon pots in it, and that's when they're right next to each other with little to no space in...

For my next grow I am planning on using a carbon filter for the air exhaust fan. But after thinking about it, it shouldn't help the smell in the house at all as the exhaust will be going outside. The only way it looks like I can eliminate the smell in the house is if I cover all the walls in...

Is there any disadvantages to having a long veg cycle? Something around 5-6 weeks in 18/6 before switching over to 12/12. If I can get the highest yield possible off 3-4 plants in 2'-3"x" 4'-8"x"8'-0" (width x length x height respectively) by growing them tall AND bushy, I want to extend the veg...

Why is the effectiveness of grow lights measured in lumens (luminous flux)? Lumens is the measure of how strong light appears to the human eye, and watts measures the total amount of light emitted (radiant flux). The absence of human eyes on cannabis plants would lead me to believe that watts...

After searching for electronic 400 Watt switchable ballasts online, it appears there are a very limited number of places to buy one online. This site looks like it has exactly what I need, but out of all these models I have no idea which one to get. Can anyone let me know which ones I should...

Can any of you guys who live in the US post how much success you've gotten from any online seedbanks? Any information such as the site you ordered from, if it was a fairly recent purchase or not, and whether you recieved your seeds would be really helpful.

My brother and I are debating whether or not smoking a fan leaf can get you buzzed. He took a medium sized fan leaf from a male plant I recently killed (right after it showed it's sex), let it dry, then packed the entire leaf in a bowl and smoked it. He claims he "got buzzed for about 5...
