Ill use this thread later to get links which Ill be adding when I find them. I will make a computer-controlled growroom sometime so need rare components like sensors and controllers. Ive forgotten what I know about micro-electronics but its pretty easy once you get the hang of it. If you need information about how to build a environmental control unit then you might find information via http://www.beyondlogic.org/ and http://www.google.com for now. My first link is; Honeywell Sensors - for temperature, humidity and current sensors and information - they dont seem to have any PH sensors or probes so I have to keep looking [most people want to sell a complete tester or…

Hi everyone, Reading up on some general EC levels for hydroponic nutrient mixing and can't seem to find an answer to my question. I was thinking of this situation; - Grower wants to reach an EC level of around 1.8mS during bloom on a run to waste system. - Grower follows the labelled instructions on bloom nutrient + additives (ie. 4ml per 1 litre) and fills up the reservoir tank, EC reading is well below desired level. Question is; Is it ok to continue adding nutrients above the recommendations until you reach that EC level. Obviously stirring and re-checking along the way? Thanks again guys! JA

Hey Guys So this is my first grow EVER. its amazing to watch it grow. So I germinated seeds using paper towel method and planted them. Took about a week for the root to break through and start sprouting Seed strain : not sure Time elapsed so far : 3 weeks(see pics) Grow area : Outside - changing to indoor during vegetative stage Stealth level needed : high My questions are : 1. Is it is already in its vegetative state or still in the seedling stage? 2. What kind of lights should i use at the seedling/vegetative stage and flowering stage? (CFL's /HID's/LEDS's?) - any link to a cost efficient eBay lights that I can purchase? 3. When is it ready for…

Having a debate over soil grown pot vs hydro. Which medium produces the best quality cannabis? I'm only new to soil blends, and I am still experimenting, but prefer it over hydro, as opposed to the sister in law, who thinks hydro is more potent. So, organic vs hydro? Understood, there are a lot of factors to consider, but from your own personal experience, which would you consider to bring out a strains full potential?

Hi all, I have always wondered about this and thought well why not ask the the group! When filling a barrell / nutrient mix, reaching your desired EC then go to regulate your ph using a 'PH Down' Hydrochloric Acid. Once the ph is set the number will slowly continually rise over time and you can go back and regulate again. My question is; why does it take considerably less PH Down to bring the numbers down again that second time round? ie. It may of take 5 mls to bring the initial reading down .5 but the second time you might only need say 1ml. Anyone thought this? I couldn't find any light reading on this. Cheers!

Ok I am sure this Q has been asked before just can find it here. Why grow auto seeds over normal. I was look at a few on bonza, and there have a few auto seeds that get 1.1 m tall, and give you 400 g/2m. That sounds not to bad. I was under the impression that you crack seed. Place in medium, sprouts, gos to head right away. 8 weeks later you pull your girls out. Done start again. Am I wrong in thinking this. Now they got seeds that are a meter tall

Hi all, I have recently moved back home with my parents after living independently for 6 years. They know I use cannabis, and they accept (or at least they say they do) that I use it for medical reasons. But that's not really the issue. I am quite new to growing my own medicine as I have only had one small outdoor crop before and a series of failures with indoor grows. I currently have two very healthy looking females in the vegetative phase and they are ready to be put under 12/12 lighting. Currently they're concealed behind a curtain in my bedroom temporarily and I had plans to move them into a brand new wardrobe (the Pax system from ikea nonetheless!). However, …
