that police choppers sometimes use infrared/heat cameras to find grow rooms inside houses? One of my mates told me when I was telling him about (very) initial plans to maybe start building a grow room, or a small greenhouse or something (which I figure would be safer), and as illegal as it may seem to search a house based on heat measurements (the legality of which due to warrant-less invasion of privacy is also dubious), my mate was very adamant. Anyone else heard/read about this? Care to credit/discredit it?

just the other day i was unfortunate enough to find three males in the grow room, no harm done, females well and truly safe. Prior to this maybe 2 weeks as my other plants were showing there fem sex the smell was increasing, now since removing the males there doesnt seem to be as much, if hardly any smell. So my questions to all sesoned growers is this, Is there a particular strain where the males stink more than females (pre-flower) or is this the norm. Im growing in soil, under a 400 hps all organic nutrients so far. Not sure of this strain as the original seeds were givern to me nameless and then i crossed them to get more seed. Any help, advice greatly apprecia…

Hey just curious does anyone else use the "Turbo Tank" technique. Turbos I have found it to be so easy and efficient. Funny thing is, I have always used a water heater in the reservoir for past grows, but when it broke a couple of months back I didn't replace it. To my amazement however my babies have still blossomed. Well. What effect does keeping the water on the roots at a consistant temperature have? I can understand it is vital in the colder months (especially where I live as the water would freeze) but in summer do I really need to be wasting electricity keeping the water warm? Hmm Thanks

Hi guys! just want a bit of feedback and will do constant updates in regards to my project, i was given an aerogarden as a pressy and obviously i aint gonna grow tomatoes in there so i got my hands on some lowrider blueberry autoflowering seeds... They took a week to come up and now they are 2 weeks old (its just for a bit of percy) They only grow to max of 12-15" in height which is perfect for the machine they are in....however my questions are more to do with lighting and nutrients i have them on a 24 hour light cycle and on the next feed im gonna give them bloom feed as they havent really shown me many signs of flowering yet?? am i doing this correctly? Any help w…

ph question 1 2

I've got myself a lovely, healthy-looking White Skunk growing indoors in nutes. Its a few weeks old, growing fast with huge leaves and a very short stork. My ph meter arrived in the mail today and when I tested the nutes they came up as ph 5.6, which strikes me as a tad on the low side. So I have 2 questions, 1. What is the ideal ph range that I should be chasing? 2. Is there something cheap I can get from the supermarket to raise ph (like baking soda for example). This because I'm a bit of a skinflint, but also too lazy to get out to a hydro shop if there's no need. The nutes I'm using are canna, if that matters. Thanks heaps for help anybody can offer

Hey guys, I purchased some seeds off the net a few months ago and they didn't turn up which was really annoying. I am still really keen on picking out a strain and getting the seeds etc. I got them from www.nirvana-shop.com and am not to keen on losing another $50 to just have no seeds turn up. What has everyone's experience been like? I would desperately love to be able to experiment with different strains etc. as I love experimentation and testing results. Is there anyway i can get access to different strains etc. without throwing money at a number of different online suppliers and seeing what comes in?

So incidentally I had to use a 1000WMH for 2 weeks before I could purchase a new 1000WHPS bulb and ballast to replace the old ones that busted. We all know MH creates lankier plants and HPS creates bulkier bushier plants. If your trying to get the most weight out of a grow, try throwing under a MH for two weeks during flowering. Youll get that extra 4 inches of stem growth (approx) which adds more weight to your final harvest. IT DOES stress the plants, adds an extra 30 days (approx) to your overall harvest. Whereas mine would have taken 60-70, they are now going to be somewhere in the range of 90-100days flower, but nice 16in (sorry from USA) colas on top Just a…
