  1. Never really been a fan man, just too small a yielder for me, Wouldnt say its impossible to hide the smell, all you need is a carbon filter attached to your fan, if it still smells a little just put a ozone generator next to your exhaust
     
  2. Well yeah it isn't impossible but it stinks like its a fucking 8' plant......but its so small.

    As for the yield thing, yeah. You have to grow them in bulk.
     
  3. Yeah sea of green all the way, Mabey something to do in the future but right now theres only room for 1 plant 2 at a push in my cupboard, Great for beginners who are getting into growing but as its life cycle is half that of a normal plant and there also sturdy little things that will take alot of abuse and can flower with 24hrs lights instead of the 12/12. Not really even heard of them hermaphroditin before, you?
     
  4. Never. Not one hermie and I have seen a shit ton of lowryders.

    That shit is big down here. It smokes reasonably well for dro and is just so fucking easy.
     
  5. I think they have been stablised now to, but unless you buy femmed the male/female ratio is a bit shitty.
     
  6. Yeah, you got me there, It is very easy man, but i grow for myself and a few mates, in order to achieve a good amount it would mean having to do 15-20 of them, where i stay 1-2 plants will get you a small fine if any and slap on the wrists, If i got done with 20 i would be looking at a sentance
     
  7. Yeah they just go by if the plant is mature or immature not its potential.
     
  8. Don't get me wrong. I don't grow them. I grow outdoors. 1-2 plants for the win.
     
  9. a few pics of some of the babies tonight :)

    they started sprout, should see the gender any day now, can't wait :)

  10. Nice! Am picking up a new HPS today, Getting a Bright-wing 250w Son-T, Also goin to get a wee heat shield so i can get it closer to the plant, Hoping to give her a boost in her last 3 weeks
     
  11. it is still very hard to tell which is which.they all look very much alike.all sprouted out.all tiny little hair so tiny i cant even be certain if its a male or female.looks hairy with tiny white hairs all over though.
     
  12. YES we have a girl confirmed :) the rest are still hard to see.but all looking very much alike.except one or two looking like going the direction of boys :(
     
  13. Watch those boys and escort their ass out of there ASAP. you don't want your entire crop to get fucked because of a moments hesitation.
     
  14. yep i'm checking them at least twice a day.still very hard to see yet.its my first grow so i'm not that good to tell the gender at the earliest.i got that girl by luck as that shows 4 little hair pistil.i looked at a few pics on how to tell the gender but still very hard to tell.is there a easier way? :)
     
  15. Practice makes perfect.
     
  16. the watts have less to do with it rather then the lumen output of the bulbs. a 40 watt high output florou can put out 2500 lumuns ( you can even get these at walmart for $9.99 a bulb) as to a 400watt that puts out 50,000 lumens. if you break that math down-- ten 40 watt florous will put out 25,000 lumens, about half the TRUE power of High intensity discharge, hps or mh, but in return flourescents run at a lower temp then HID's making them more suitiable for smaller applications.
     
  17. some update, got my new box built, just a little more to finish tomorrow. need to cover the top and the front and its all done. but no one go in to the room so it be fine, window is sealed off no lights gets out anyway :) I moved the lights up higher a bit after moving everything over, this there's a good bit room left to move the lights up higher again, so this should do from seed to buds for lowryder #2, thinking going for white widow after this lots, 4 ft high box, keep the white widow around 3.5ft, should still have a good yield on them, I only be growing 5 plants at a time next time, but feminise seeds only, don't want to make no mistake on sexing :)

    any input guys appreciated, thanks

  18. Nice man looking good! A got rid of the 250wCFL and got a new 400wHPS with heat shield! It cost 100 for everything ! Al try get some photos up soon but box is looking good! You got a wee temp/humidity reader for the box??
     
  19. no I haven't got one of those, but I can tell the temp is fine :) just room temp, not too warm, around 15c to 20c max as thats what the house normally is throught the year :)

    oh I have close up pics on another thread "is it possible for anyone to tell the gender?

    mind have a look and see what you think? :)

    thanks
     
  20. you may want to secure those lights... i dont think they meet electrical standards
