OK I am using a (W)3.2 x (L)3 x (H)2.4 room and plan to have a 2 x 600w, air cooled lights with a carbon filter setup in a flat I live in on the second floor. I was going to have 4 plants growing horizontal and grow them big. Setting the net about 12inches high off the top of the pot plant. Do you think this is a waste of 2 lights? Last yield from 3 plants (1.5 x 1.5 room) and 1 light (600) was 66, 87, 126. Don't know why 1 did 66 and the other did 126 when they all were right next to each other? Should I forget the horizontal and vertical?

This is my first attempt at growing so I'm rather unsure of the right steps to take and what to look out for. I've done all the basics, sterilise, pH neutral water, rhyzo and 18/6 lighting but the plants look like their growth is somewhat stunted and going downhill. I flush the water almost every day. There are two batches of plants in the dome, the bigger ones are 2 weeks older than the smaller ones. Rockwool cubes started showing signs of blackish spots so I transplanted them into new rockwool and they're leaves started to turn yellow.. Please advice on what I should do now to salvage them.

Does the glass in lamp shades effected the yeild? A m8 just told me that using a fan cooled lamp shade, that the glass stops certain light particles and doesn't grow as good as a bat wing? Also do batwings work better than a full cover lamp shade, even if you don't use the glass? Long live Syd Barrett!

Hey everyone, I just made my first order of seeds--YEY After weeks of buggerizing around looking at different seed banks and reading all the posts I could find, I finally decided on Ice cream by Paradise Seeds. I went Planet Skunk mainly because of the NAB deposit, and ordered the feminized seeds. I've included the link if anyone's interested in having a look see. http://www.planetskunk.com/icecream-p-301.html Was just wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this strain--either smokin or growing it? I am so frigging excited about my first grow that I want to do as much as I can to make a nice home for these foreign ladies. I went to the Hydro store ye…

O.k I know the main thing a cannabis plant need is Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium, but about how much zinc, iron, and those other chemical elements should be in my fertilizer mix, depending on vegetative and fruit stage? Also I would like to know what your ph levels should look like? How much vermiculite, and perlite, should be in the soil mix, also should peat moss be mixed in? I cant remember if it made a difference. Also would a 2.5 gallon bucket be good enough for this project? I wanna get my hands on some BlueCheese, but by me living in Illinois, USA I don't know if it would actually come, or what would be a good site to buy them from, without anyone showing up …

Just wondering if it's possible to grow plants, then put them under a lower lighting level just to maintain the growth. I live in an apartment and may need to hide some plants from time-to-time for inspections etc. I would like to have them in grow when an inspection is due, but leave them at a height where I can easily hide them but then throw them straight back into grow without losing any of the vegetative quality. I have a 100 grow grow light (not sure it was a good investment) and a 600w HPS. I'm thinking I could grow under the HPS then move them under the 100w for a week or two. Is this possible?
