Hi guys , I'm just wondering if anyone has used LED lighting for their grow, and if so, how it went. I've seen a light which the manufacturers say is equivalent to 400-600wats, but which puts out only a small amount of heat, and costs 50-80% less to run then the HPS or MH lights. It sounds good, but I haven't really heard much about their advantages in terms of flowering and yield. So if anyone can en'lighten' me , I'd be grateful. Peace to everyone

Oh hai all. Apologies if this has already come up. I understand most timers dont allow this but has any experimentation been done with non 24 hour grow cycles. Anybody with personal experience or know of documentation of such an experiment on the www MaccaSpesh, the best weed you'll never smoke.

So i just read a thread before which involved a vertical scrog, thinking to myself "there's no point having the light above, you would need it on the side of the plant". Well it got me thinking and this is what sprang to mind, since i am useless with microsoft paint i am going to try and explain, though i'm not much better at the latter either. here's the plan... this is for one plant but can be applied to up to 4 plants i would say, possibly more for larger wattage lights. you would need a lazy susan, remember those spinning plates at home a small sized motor that could run off 5v or so. simple idea really, you would sit the pot on top of the lazy susan. You would…

Hi peoples. Just wondering how old plants usually need to be before i can tell its sex? Also my plant seems very short , yet stocky and compact. Its 11 days old. Unknown strain. It looks very healthy with moderately fat leaves. System is aeroponics and drippers. 1x400w hps is 30cm away. Im a newbie and just trying to get a scope on a plants average size at this age in optimum conditions. Thanks any help would be appreciated.

hi all I came across this on WikiPedia: "In 1943, Johannes "The Moobze" van Overbeek discovered that coconut milk actively encourages plant growth. This was later discovered to be due to a number of factors, but predominantly the existence in the milk of a cytokinin known as zeatin.[4] The addition of 10% coconut milk to the substrate in which wheat is grown has shown substantial improvements in yield." I could not find much else on the web about adding coconut milk to your plants, except the fact that 10% - 15% milk (not the cream) should be used. Has anyone tried this?

Ne1 ever used it before? trying it now..... working very excellent so far. i guess it come with micro fugis that creates a symbiosis with the plants roots some how. But i need to learn more about it. Ne1 no anything?

Ok , I usually use Rockwool Cubes ,, but dont have any at the moment . What alternatives do you fellas use ?

I was just wondering if here was any kind of world records for the biggest plant or the highest yielding plant? I would be very interested to see that so if anyone knows anything like that please let me know. Cheers

I have just completed a grow, 2 plants coco in pots hand watering. measuring 1ml here 3ml there gets........... So I have seen in vids where a resevior is made up and plants are hand watered sounds like a good idea if you have a quite few plants. So can I make up a resevoir of nutes and use it over 3 feeds (max 14days est.) I plan to use an air stone to airate the nutes if it can be done. Cheers.
