I have been using one of these new UV filters in my fish tank, and was wondering......... What if you could run DWC with NO bacteria, and therefore, just nutes, and no enzymes etc or H2o2 to clean your system....... could be worth a shot. In case ya wondering, it passes the water past a sealed UV lamp, that sterilizes the water. There is an indicator light on control box, if lamp ever fails, it goes out Cleans 120L per hour, and this lil 9Wer will do a 200L tank. Was about $90 at a pet shop, just released for aquariums. Any ideas, or discussion on this welcome, as I dont do DWC , but thought may be helpful for someone out there, or for people wanting to scrub water of …

Hi there ok 15 yrs ago I decided to buy a 600 watt Hydro light bulb and electric nutrient stick to measure ph. However a week later just as I was ready to start growing I broke up with my X and fear of her dobbing me in decided to pack it all away and never bothered to grow. Well 15 years later here i am and am thinking about growing again however am wondering if all my gear is still usable ? I am pretty sure the ballast should be ok my main concern is the light bulb and the nutrient stick guesing that even though the bulb has never been turned on is probably buggered by now and the nutrient stick even though never used the battery is probably dead and dont know if…

Can you seed auto flowering plant, and still maintaine the auto part. Ie auto white widow with my berry bomb pollen. Will crossing it with the berry bomb increase the harvest time. As the berry bomb has no ruderilas part in it. White Berry sounds so nice.

Hi there, So i've got canna vega, how often should I use it?

Auto flower strains - Bubblegum and Jack 47 Medium - Coco, soil, perlite and vermiculite, in the ground Lighting - outdoors under mother natures gazillion watt hps Ok, I'm probably just being a bit over anxious and paranoid as this is my first attempt at auto's, and I've heard they're very delicate in their early stages, but I'd really appreciate an expert opinion here. They are 2 1/2 weeks old, gave them their first feed 4 days ago at just under 1/4 strength as they looked a little pale and slow. No evidence of burning since, and probably a little burst in growth. To me they still look a little pale, so today I gave them another feed at just under half strength. I…

Hi Guys I've been doing some reading on cultivation times in grow tents: ie. from seedling to harvest. Some people say 18 weeks, others 15, and then there's even mention of 10-12 weeks (...!?!?!?) to grow from a seedling to a harvestable plant...! Is that possible? Does anyone have any experience/info on their fastest grow using a grow tent? What's average? What's slow? etc, etc. I'm using 600w lighting, and self watering thru the base. Thanks

Need someone to shed some light on transplanting and there experiences. I'm a little worried I just transplanted this and that's currently its new pot. All looks well but alot of soil came off the roots. When I broke it free and roots were damaged, I hope to hear from any stories regarding transplanting etc. Mainly along the lines of transplanting larger plants. I mixed this with 70%coco 30%perlite, Placed in shade been well watered. I have been hitting it with a hair spray bottle every few hours to see how I go.
