Grow Guide 2009

when should you start flowering stage

Just finished my first grow in my SunLit box.... 5.6oz per plant... not bad for my first time.

I'm in the dubbing stage and my plant leaves are turning yellow like crazy. I'm using organic soil and nothing else. I'm using a 250w hps in a 3'x3'x6' growroom. What is causing the yellowing of the leaves. Also when I water it the water goes right through the soil. HELP

About the lights - go check out the led's at advancedledlights DOT com website.

Their lights are a)made in the USA b)high quality c)low heat (built in fans) d)use LITTLE electricity (unlike all the HPS & other typical lites) e)have ALL the colors in the spectrum which plants need for healthy growth f)bulbs last for more than 50,000 hours (unlike the 2000 hour HPS).

surely you will pay for what you get, and IF you want healthy plants that grow quicker and thicker...then pay for good lights that will OUTLAST any of the HPS bulbs by 25 times.

So many questions! Even more unworthy answers! Type your questions or very closely related into a Yahoo search engine, then look at the results and pick a few that relate properly to your question and come to a consensus. That is only if you do not have the knowledge of an experienced cultivator. Do not trust the random answers of people who comment on these pages or threads. Just trying to look out for your best interests. The right information IS out there.

at approximatley what week would you be able to tell if its male or female? when you will you notice the pollups or white hairs?

what is the best wattage for lights

just wondering n the 2 to 3 months of growing what should my light to darkness ratio be (14 hrs of dark and 10 hrs of daylight) or what any advice would b much appreciated

Need some info. My timers went bogus for three days then the buds are coning..anything I can do to compensate for the slip?

THE FEMALES WILL HAVE WHITE HAIRS GROWING WHERE THE LEAF COMES OFF THE MAIN STEM AND ALSO AROUND THE CROWN. MALES WILL HAVE BALLS OR POLLUPS FULL OF POLLIN, SO GET EM OUT FAST OR YOUR VERGIN WILL BE NO LONGER.

How do you tell the difference betweem male and female plants? Ive always heard males only have 3 leaves...is this true or not. Do you have to remove male plants before females will start buding or not? Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks BB

Sinistery-------you could have built something twice as good for half the money

Greetings. I’m not certain this is the correct place to tell my story but I have encountered an issue that I believe your readers may need to know. I believe you will do them a great service if you run this in your magazine or post it on your website. I wish I had had this information available to me.

I recently decided I was tired of buying substandard commercial tomatoes and berries and decided to start growing my own. I looked into different options and discovered a turnkey grow kit manufactured by Sunlight sheds and distributed by bestgrowlights.com. After waiting nearly a month for the product to arrive I was very happy to finally receive it and opened it enthusiastically, even though I immediately noticed that it seemed somewhat shoddily assembled. After setting it up I plugged it in and was dismayed to discover that the exhaust fan did not function. Rather than returning the product and waiting an unknown amount of time to get it back in working order I decided to just eat the cost of the fan and replace it myself. For the next two months it worked great. Then suddenly the interior temperature began rising to around 95-100 degrees F and occasionally in excess of it. For about two weeks I tried to keep it cool by leaving the doors open and using external fans during the ‘daylight’ segment of the cycle to no avail. Needless to say my high quality and rather expensive fruit burned to a crisp. Then one morning I awoke to the smell of burned rubber. Upon inspection I discovered scorched place on the electrical adapter that plugs into the timer and my breaker had been kicked. I contacted bestgrowlights.com to inform them that I was not satisfied with my purchase and explained why. The staff was very friendly and contacted the manufacturer on my behalf who in turn contacted me and began trouble shooting the issue. As it turns out there was another fan inside the light housing that I didn’t see because the bulb blocked the view and this fan had ceased to function. The guy at Sunlight sheds eagerly sent me a replacement fan which I was to install myself or pay someone to do. At this point I was becoming frustrated. I paid $1600 for a unit that was advertised (and confirmed before I placed my order) ready to grow right out of the box. Well, I replaced the fan and again plugged everything in and started it up…. And my breaker kicked again and shot an electrical spark at me. I again contacted the manufacture to inform them that my product was still not operational. After more troubleshooting he concluded that the ballast (what the light bulb connects into) is defective and that is what is likely causing the light-housing fan to short circuit and kick my breaker. Again he said he would gladly send me the parts I need to repair the unit as those parts are under warranty, but I informed him that the reason I opted for this unit was for the sole purpose of having everything already assembled and ready to go and that at the very least I would like to return the unit at the company’s expense for repair or simply have my money refunded. That’s been several weeks ago and I still have not received a postage paid box to return it in, nor have I even received a replacement ballast and fan. After going back and forth with the manufacturer it occurred to me that if I buy a product at a retail store and it doesn’t function I return it to the retail store for replacement or refund so I took my complaint back to the company I purchased the unit from (bestgrowlights.com). I was informed that a solution is being discussed but a refund is likely not an option as the company will not be able to get a refund from the manufacturer either. It’s now been two days since I last corresponded with the bestgrowlights.com representative informing them that this system has not deliver what was promised and I would like to receive a postage paid box to return the unit in for a refund. I have not heard from them since. At present it looks as if I paid $1600 to essentially burn a crop (which was heartbreaking in and of itself) and learn how I could have assembled something like this myself at a fraction of the cost. My message is for any potential growers out there who may consider a unit like this for your own project and simply put, don’t waste your time and money. This has been one headache and disappointment after another and all I have to show for it is essentially a flimsy $1600 storage chest.

hey guys i am in the process of curing some smoke and my first strain had a great skunky taste and took about a week to dry and get its odor. My other shit was later and has been hanging for two weeks but still taste like leaves or fresh cut grass. When u cut it up or break it up its sticky and has its own unique scent but no taste. Why? do sum strains take longer to cure? Will sunlight help take out the chlorophyll and green taste or what?

Hey guys does anyone know what specific newstands or bookstores carry hightimes but specifically the new 2009 grow guide
