Hi All, I have been readying up on Co2 systems, I have read a lot of good stuff about it. However cant really find much on the bad about it. Apart from the cost of buying the bottels, and the set up cost. I have one for grow in my room untill I move to a fully sealed ( aka insalated shipping containter). So the use of Co2 is looking like a must, just to keep the work of cutting heaps of holes in my new room down and also water tight. So I ask, has any one used them or are using them, does the cost weigh up. I have read with the right temp and hum in your room you can get 2 - 3 times more yeild, which would help with the cost of runing the room and the Co2. Also I like…

Thanks one and all for your advice and tips. My situation is that I have a limited time to get the harvest dried and stored. As I've said, this is my first crop that I'll be harvesting, and all the info in this post is valuable to me. The use of a dehydrator in the long term is not my plan, I just needed some help to get out of a tight spot without f*cking up my prized first attempt...! Any other comments and experiences shared will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey. So, recently I modified a window mounted air con unit to run as a stand alone unit with twin 100mm ducting on a wheeled trolley(not shown but the same as in the first pic). 'Very interseting' i thought. I fabricated two square to round spigots that were attached and sealed to the outlet vent, and constructed a wheeled trolley for the unit...... A window mounted unit is about half the cost to buy of the portable version for the same or better BTU output. ?hhmmmm? Not sure of the power usage though? But surely a window unit needs to be mounted for it to fuction properly and efficiantly ! ?...............? Anyone a bit more 'In the know' about this sort…

I am a bit cautious about spraying my plants with spider mite killer in this high humidity. Big fan in tent atm. Just worrying about mould starting on buds if I spray in high humidity. Opinions please. Getting tired of search and destroy missions with my fingers. As not really effective. Thanks guys.

And this is what i see... Ive got $60 in my pocket...what do i do? Notes: Im growing outdoors in the best potting mix i could find at Bunnings mixed with blood and bone. I feed her twice a week with water mixed with Nitrosol. She seems pretty happy at the moment and is growing pretty well. She had a slow start to life as i am a first timer and was so eager i was essentially drowning her when she was a seedling. But I am thinking she will start flowering over the next few weeks so want to know what i could buy to help her develop the best possible buds. She is a Greenhouse Seeds Trainwreck. A final note: If anyone wants to tell me i should turn around and walk out…

Hi all, Am about to start my first grow! I will be planting AK-48 feminized, Auto. Short Rider Fem. I bought the seeds from buydutchseeds.com has anyone had experience with these varieties? also is it ok to start planting first week of February or is this late and my plants will suffer? I will be planting on an open balcony that faces westish, so direct sun is only possible from around 3:00 pm to sundown, is this a major obstacle? thanks, tmer

So I am about to start my first grow, seedlings ready to germinate... What should I buy in Bunnings, besides soil? I have no clue what I am doing, so please help me out. I heard something about bone meal being good to add to soil? also someone on the forums recommended that I actually do not start with soil, as it is harder to manage compared to Coco, what are peoples experiences here?

Add a florescent compont to this bleach thing; assuming the bleach doesnt denature it. I saw a design that focus out side lightwith a series of lenses, like a supped up sky light, add that Tech to this kind of bulb... you might want to replace that plastic bottle with boroslicate glass... add some bradford batts to that roof, maybe experiemnt with optical fibers to the coke bottle if the celing is tall http://dornob.com/solar-bottle-lamps-water-bleach-10000-liters-of-light/
