Yep but they're currently bringing new tech out every day with that. Fluros have been replaced with LEDs but they price is through the roof. A lot of shops are selling the old fluros pretty cheap. I got mine half price which is why I thought I'd try it out. Don't use a reptile ballast. they're useless af for the garden as they designed to spread the light on a small space. Check out how I've got them hanging on my grow. I hate it lol and it's a dodgy half assed effort at adding UV. But if you just have a couple of plants it'd be fine. I'm looking into ordering UV LED Diodes and making my own UV bar but that's more of a side hobby.

Has anyone ever tried "harvesting" the trichomes from the sugar leaves when the plant is still not ready? For instance wiping a rolling paper on some leaves and then rolling a cigarette with it? I did it and got high. Is it placebo effect? Will this affect plant growth?Plant. Other

Can you put your plants into veg after one day of 12/12??I accidentally left the timer on 12/12 in one of my tents I was supposed to flick it onto 18/6, If I revert it back to 18/16 quick after only one day of 12/12 will this do anything or just slow the veg process down?Plant. Other

Too Early to Determine Sex?Hey guys, I'm still really new to sexing my plants. This is only my second time.
Can anyone tell me if these are male or female? Or is it too early to tell?
I cant see any balls yet!🙏
Plant 1 is a little further along than plant 2.
I know the pictures are kind of blurry.
