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…

Hiya all Things are progressing my end and have my first little seed punching up with three others close behind... I've got most of the things sorted but having trouble finding an ultra quiet fan for air circulating and to breeze the plants about for stem strength. I bought a $30 Kambrook Arctic 30cm Quiet Desktop Fan which is not quiet...its louder than my cheapass $12 Pedestal fan. Can hear both through my air sealed solid core door...not quality... I thought about a bunch of quiet PC fans controlled down to a quiet speed, but it seems a rather lot of stuffing around and a high cost for possible not a great amount of airflow Is there something you guys/gals c…

Just wanted to get peoples opinion on this strain, According to the bonza seeds website you can get up to 50oz of one plant in this strain... To get this type of yield would probably need 100% perfect conditions from seedling upto harvest though right? Has anyone grown this strain and gotten really high yields even close to this? A mate of mine gets between 16-20oz per plant but he runs 4 x 1000 watt hps lamps over 4 plants and has a proper house aircon for cooling along with all the other frute has spent over 10k in his initial setup from buying the tent / lamps / aircons / fans / ducting etc etc and he never buys online and only uses seeds from his "shitty bush plant…

So I've decided to do a little pictorial report on the growth of some plants under a 300w CFL (veg) and 600w HPS (flower). Hopefully the gardener won't have a cat arse trophy this time and wipe out the whole tent. On the 14th of Feb, 16 gurls were potted up into cheap 72c 9.2Lt Bunnings buckets. Each bucket has roughly 1.5Lt of clay balls at the bottom and the medium mix is roughly 40/60 coco/perlite. They were put in to veg 18/6 under a 300w CFL for 4 weeks. On the 14th of March, they were put into flower 12/12 under a 600w HPS. The two plants with bamboo stakes are the two Trainwrecks you can see in the first picture, 2nd from the left one behind the other. F…
