I will be starting my first hydro grow within 2 months. lotsa lurking and learning over the past 3 months.. I plan on having four 25L containers in one square metre. one plant per container. A 1900L/hr airpump with four outlets for the four containers. A 600Watt HPS light. A 150mm centrifugal fan with odour sok. I need to know the size my controller bucket should be relative to individual bucket size...if possible is there a formula?... like there is for water resevoir (water reservoir should be same as total system capacity)... the range I am thinking of at moment for controller bucket is from 25L to 100L.... any comments appreciated.. I have been thinking abou…

looking at putting couple auto pots in spare shower. Would the fan in ceiling, open window and oscaliting fan be enuf for a 400w hps??? (might panda the 2 sides of shower other 2 are white tiles, and leave the door lil open for tha fan while lights on) hit me up some advice, ta.

So id love to hear from experienced growers regarding weather or not i should cram my 4 x 4 space (using a 400w) with several plants, or maybe just grow 6-8 plants inside. Which method should yield the most? I crammed about 20 in this grow but many buds didnt fill out as thick as i would have liked, still waiting while drying to discover the total amount. Thanks again.

What should it be for Veg and Flowering ? I am using Dutchfest at the moment in Bloom and the label says it should be 2.0-2.5 EC ,, but I am only getting a reading of 1.8 EC . This is at full strength .

I want to make a grow fridge or closet and i was thinking i might just use 6 48w natuaral white fluoro`s,an intake fan and exhaust fan.Have a look at the quick pic i drew to give you a better idea what i mean.I would just use one 400w hps light but im worried about the electicity bill being to high and also the elec company relizing that im growing pot because of the hours i have them on for.Im not trying to grow ounces and ounces,just for personal use.I have a small fridge that i have cleaned out and was going to use that but i think it might be to small.It is about 4ft high and 2ft wide.If its to small i might go with making a box up that a little bigger.Any advice will…

Hi everyone. I've been reading these forums for about four years and am only now trying an indoor grow. I've tried to grow outdoor in the backyard before, but the plants have either been stolen or a housemate freaked out and told me to ditch them. I'm in a good place now, with few visitors and a cool housemate. I germinated some seeds about three weeks ago in a glass of water, then planted them in some 6' pots of cheap potting mix. They sprouted within 7 days, but since i'm living in Melbourne the weather's been cold and plants grew slow. I've had a 400w hps i bought from ebay a while ago, so set that up in an old toilet no-one uses about 2-3 feet off the ground a…

Hey guys, been lurking around the forums for a while now and I've decided I really want to grow. The problem is, I live at uni in a studio apartment, and if i wanted to grow It would have to be very stealthy. I would only be growing for myself, so I'm not too fussed on large yields. My studio is virtually a large bedroom with a bathroom. Any idea's for an affordable, size efficient grow setup would be appreciated! I was wondering about strains too, what should I look at growing? Thanks. EDIT; I just realised I posted this in the wrong forum!! Could a mod maybe move it for me? Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone has got nutes from the the US before. Looking to try other nutes than the standard stuff I've used before here like Canna, Ozi and DM. Would like to experiment with Foxfarms and Botanicare lines. I used to use earth juice until import restrictions banned the organic grow and bloom formulas, wondering if the same applies to the other brands? Nothing on the TGA/customs sites about this either.. Anyone?
