Hi guys Looking to do a new setup in a medium sized garden shed. Cant get to it too often , maybe 2 times a week , so I need something minimal maintainence and self sufficient previously done flood and drain with expanded clay works quite well but I have found salt buildup is an issue with this system . but its pretty resilient apart from that. any suggestions ? verticle height may also be an issue , I would guess about 1.6m is the hight of the shed. perhaps even soil ? any help appreciated

So I harvested my plant and I have frozen everything from the plant. I plan to remove them and throw it in a bubblebag. Should have i dried it out first? if so can I still? If the trichs are still good in their frozen state should I go ahead with the bubble bags or pull it apart, grind, dry, chop before the bag?

Hi - this is related to my last post, but I decided to attach pictures. Background - they have been on 11/13 for 14 days now. I switched the nutrient brand and also the fomular type - went from veg nutes to bloom nutes. Also, the temperature at night when lights are off is dropping a fair bit because we've nearly entered winter now. I am a little worried that maybe I have underfed nutrients or maybe overfed and watered. The coconut fibe seem a bit dense and a little moist below the surface, but nothing too dramatic. Anyway - first two photos show the purpling the stems/branches. previously they were green. Second two photos show the plant with yellowing leaves aroun…

Hey all, long time lurker first ever topic post (yay) Just wondering as to what the general go is with keeping your plants warm during the night when flowering? ie in a 12/12 cycle, how do you keep your grow warm if the temp in the grow area drops? Mate of mine is planning a grow in his shed in a cupboard and doesn't think temp in winter will be a problem, hope he's right i guess...

Hi. I have a little grow area 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m high It has a 1000w light and is set up fairly well. I was going to have 4 plants in there, but due to various reasons, my brother has suggested to me just to have one plant. Does anyone have any information about how 4 plants (in the confined space I have listed above) would go vs 1 plant in the same space? Will 1 plant produce a similar yield, but perhaps take somewhat longer to fill up the area? It will enable me to optimize the light and nutrition for that individual plant to a degree probably not possible with 4 plants. We have a problem though, its about 4.5 weeks into VEG, and its in only a small pot (30L…

Just wanted to share with you some facts on the food we give our plants. DM Liquid Gold - additive that are fed to meat birds in poultry factories with a slight change to make it usable by plants. Mineral Salts (in all non organic nuts) - 2% away from commercial toilet bleach. Rockwool - .1 atom molecule from asbest Dont know how many of you really go into understanding what they put in our plants food. I was using canna and dm for the last 3 years and only after i spent some time in a grow farm of one of the co-ops in NSW, I got that we are giving our plants POISON. Aside from some of the shit they add in: "Its Ironic to see that most commercial marijuana ma…

Hey all, new member here, I have chopped my first stem for a clone, i was looking for a good one to cut and found a lower branch that had tripple nodes all the way to the top! it's only a small one...about 20cm but looks like it could have good results..if i dont kill it first I dipped it in purple clone gel and put it in a jiffy pellet, chopped the bottom leaves and trimmed the middle ones, i dont have much equipment on hand so i have to constantly look after it, spraying the leaves and keeping it humid inside, How long (if it doesn't die first) should i expect for a root system? if i had the right equipment i'm sure it would be a fast process. anyway is this a common…

Haven't grown for 5+ years but last time I did I used some stuff that was primarily a cloning nute as feed for my seeds from the time i planted until 2 weeks. I'm buggered if I can remember what it was. Really want to use it this time around as it gave great results, my little babies sprouted with stems on them 1/2cm thick. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi There Have issue and question. I am now about 16 days into flowering and switched to 'bud' nutrients..etc.. The plants stretched a bit for the first week, but it appears to have stopped and they are really starting to solidly bud up. However, I have noticed that a couple of the leaves here and there are going a bit light green and yellow. Also noticed that the steps have gone a kinda purple/brown at some parts, but still normal green at other points. Is this anything to worry about? One other forum, someone else had the problem and dropped the PH with a touch of vinegar in the water, but I don't want to start messing around unless I'm sure. Second (question) - …
