Running a perpetual harvest, it is less than convenient to utilize the 24/36 hours of darkness method to induce flowering. I think it is less stressful for the plant and a smoother transition from Veg to Bloom to just switch to 12 hours. I have heard reports of growers who employed the 36...

I posted this in another thread.... reposting it here. I use many different outside stimuli to help promote female plants. Does it work? it seems to.... I have come across these recommendations from several different sources, including breeders, books, friends and other websites.... we use...

you have 1 4' 40 watt full spectrum aquarium bulb... and you have 3 2 bulb ballasts.. does this mean each bulb is 40 watts for a total 7 40 watt bulbs totaling 280watts? It isn't really clear what the 3 2 bulb ballasts are.... If you only 40 watts Vegging your plants, your veg growth is going...

Those lights will not harm your plants.... they won't grow your plant's very effectively either. But they will work as you are intending to use them...

thats understandable.... peace of mind

BLOCK-IR, reflectix, properly insulated grow area, plexiglass... The thermal imaging isn't as scary as you make it out to be...

Thermal print... get Block-IR, reflectix or properly insulate your grow. You can simply just put up Plexi-glass around your grow space to thwart thermal imaging. Electric bill??? You worry too much... Your only a 600w stealth grow.... not nearly enough to create enough of a spike in your...

How are you saving 50$ per month based on your friends 600w HPS? What figures are you basing this on??? Total electric bills??? There is to many variables.... That is only factual if you are growing the same # of plants and yielding the exact same amount of 420 over the same amount of time -...

Apparently you were posting as I was already editing... in any case... topping is a huge.... it isn't surprising do see different phenos among plants of the same strain... most hybrids exhibit atleast 2 and there is the occasional runt. Ill be going to my buddies grow this coming weekend...

I wouldn't say they were grown in identical conditions at all... Their growing environments and outside stimuli couldn't have been more different. The smaller plant that is twice as old as the larger plant, is in a growing environment that is half the size of the larger one. The container with...

I am assuming your concerned about polluting the enviroment.... If you have public sewers, and don't have septic systems... just ascertain what kind of system your town is using... most go to treatment plants, if that is the case... just pour it down the drain and let them deal with it.... its...

Define: "Above acceptable conditions" About 2.5 months ago - I helped set a buddy of mine up with a grow. He is starting with 2gal grow bags and seeds. He had 2 kinds of bag seeds, plus some Mandala Hash Berry and Satori that I turned him onto. a little over 3 weeks ago, we put 12 unknown...

I can appreciate that... my over reaction and irritation was due in part to ME NOT being Medicated because my wife was allowing our 16 year daughter to not merely have a party, but a friggen slumber party... there is nothing like a bunch of girls running around in PJ's all night to brighten up...

I disagree.... that is just marketing hype the LED companies are spewing. You don't get the results they claim... you can not replace a 600wat hid with 180w LED or even a 300w LED. As a matter of fact, even if you used 600w of LED VS 600w of HPS - HPS would produce more. SO right there is a loss...

PitViper, my admittedly overly excited reply was specifically in response to Dacob pointing to a specific journal (yours) reporting false results to bolster his position. My response in no way was attempting to reflect your actual position on any subject. After posting my response, only then...
