Hey guys! Just a quick question. I'm putting my baby's under a 600w hps today and im not 100% of how high the light has to be off the top of my seedlings. I heard the rule of thumb is that if you hold your hand under the light and it doesn't get too hot and burn it's right for your plants. Does that sound about right? Thanks Ganja

Hey guys and girls, long time no see! I'll get to updating my other grows that have been abandoned for a few months but have since finished with varying success. Before starting another diary that will likely end in doom... I started a DWC about 6 weeks ago but have been battling water temps since the start and that has brought all kinds of problems with ranging from clear slime, brown slime, urine smells and stunted growth that it all caused. I have had to trim my roots back to near the bottom of the pot 3 times now to get rid of the mentioned slime. I was doing ok in a small bucket(5L) till about 3 weeks ago when i decided to step it up to a massive(nearly 50L) wh…

I've been running my grow tent for about 4 weeks now, 18-6 light cycle. I get home from work last Friday and my neighbour starts asking me if i've been having trouble tuning into AM radio stations in the last 3-4 weeks... Obviously I put 2 and 2 together pretty quickly and realised it must be something to do with the grow room... After a bit of trouble shooting, and online research (this forum and google) I came to the realisation that my ballast was giving off a shit load of interference that was blocking out all AM radio station signals within the vicinity. I tried a radio approx. 25m from the grow room and was still unable to tune into any stations, just static... Th…

Hey all, been looking at the grow room/tent and was considering a bit of an upgrade to the lighting. Thinking of putting 400w of digital lighting supplemented by leds. Kessil leds are what I am looking at procuring, but as they are an expensive unit, approx. $220 each, not many are willing to stock them. Has/is anyone out there using these leds, and are they up to all the hype I've been hearing about them. Do the spectrums they come in make as much of a difference as they would like us to believe?

Hi All, long time lurker, first time poster. I have a question about availability of different strains in Australia. Currently, my suppliers can only tell me it's weed they're selling me, nothing on whether it's indica or sativa etc. My question is this. Without looking for hookups, as I don't want to fall foul of the forum rules, how/where can I get access to bud that has more information than simply "weed"? For now, growing is not an option for me. So I'm wondering if anyone else has been able to gain access to dealers who know what they're selling? I realise this is really a luxury of those that live in jurisdictions that have legalised already, but I can s…

Hey guys I've a couple of days into germinating my seeds and im getting everything ready for my grow. I about to start buying nutes but I've come across a bit of a noob question. Im using a coco-perlite mix as my medium and was thinking of using AN sensi grow + bloom and a couple of other things but I just noticed they sell coco specific nutes. Can I use sensi nutes with a coco grow or should I be using a coco nute? (told you it was a noob question ) Thanks guys

Hi, Can anyone with outdoor grow experience please fill me in... Assuming the plant is potted in a coco/perlite mix and fed liquid coco nutrients and left outside. What do you do when it comes to feeding an outdoor potted plant in the winter when it may rain for days? Will a good soaking rain flush out the nutrients? Will the rain have the same effect as over watering the plant as it wont get the chance to dry out? I can imagine with some bad luck a plant may not dry out enough to need a water for weeks. Are you meant to just try to force some in and water when already wet, use different food, cover...? Cheers

Hi everybody, I have some questions concerning my soon to be indoor grow and needed some expert opinions - what better place than here. To start off I'll give you the details on what I'll be doing: - 4 plants - grow box dimensions: 1.25m in length, 72cm in height and 65cm in width (note: I am currently on the hunt for a cheap wardrobe/cabinet that I should be upgrading to) - Using CFLs (where most of my questions lie) Now, the lights. I've decided to go with 8x 36w T8 fluorescent tubes as my source (http://lightingpro.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=25_31&products_id=56). This is because of their low cost and high lumen output (potentially 5000lm each …

Hi everyone. I'm about 3 weeks into my first ever hydro grow. I'm still very inexperienced in growing in general, so I'd greatly appreciate any criticism that the gurus here would be kind enough to offer. Please take a look at my photos and descriptions below and let me know if you can see any avenues for improvement or potential problems. Thank you all for your time! Strains are: 1 x White Rhino feminised, 2 x Super Kush regular. All began germination on 11/10/2013. All popped about 2-3 days after commencing germination. Thus, they're all about 3 weeks old right now. First: this is the current state of the grow. I've got a 250W MH lamp in a 125mm x 400mm cooltube. T…
