Ok, I finally worked out the way I'm going forward with this grow, and seeing as I've committed my limited resources already toward it, it is what I will be doing. No turing back now, the goodies are bought. I want to do something completely different in the long run, but for this grow, I'm going to utilise the odd shape area I have thus- 1400mmx800 x about 8 feet tall. !k watts HPS, with a adjusta shade that's almost exactly thelength and width of my grow space.Perfect. I've made c lone/mother set up elsewhere, so it's designated and ready. Apart from the 1200mm sq flood table I scored at the dump for ten bux, last week (when going back ou tthere to se if I could fin…

I am going to set up a wardrobe grow from seed, however I need to get the show on the road as quick as possible. I am wondering what the best technique would be to start from seed, determine sex and then either remove the males and hermies and scrog the females, or maybe take a few clones from every plant and have them in veg while I turn back the main light to flower, determine which will be males and then transfer all the females into the wardrobe and gp from there. I was wondering if its possible to just flower plants for long enough to determine sex, then return back to veg for a while tio scrog em, than flower again? Whats the earliest I can start a strain such as ku…

Hey... Roughly... How much do you reckon your plants grow from vegging them to well into the flowering stage? What I mean is, you reckon they double in size, triple etc? Just trying to work out if I should let 'em keep on growing a little longer or turn them this weekend? I'm running out of screen, but if need be, I could set up another... All the tips are starting to head straight up now. There are shitloads. Being only my second grow, I don't really know what to expect from this lot... Any suggestions, Cheers 'snake

A while ago some talk was being made on making clones using water bublers. Along the way someone asked how the rooted clones were removed from the bubbler without damaging the roots. One way was shown using thin styrafoam, and I thought it might be worth showing this way too. I realise most everyone's done this, but thought it might be of value to anyone not having done it before. I was shown how to do this withthe idea of keeping the plant stem out of the water body itself, and just close enough that tghe exploding bubbles wet the stem, so as to help beat any chance of rot. But then recently I was told it doesn't matter a rat's arse, and they strike so quick I have n…

I spent a lot of time looking into growing Lowryder before finally taking the plunge. To be honest I had heard so much negative press about them, I was having a hard time convincing myself that the price was worthy for a strain most people thought only a novelty plant as opposed to a serious indoor proposition. I was speaking with the guy who runs Seedsman seeds in the UK, and he offered me a pack of Lowryder 2 free of charge. The new Lowryder which has been crossed with a Brazilian strain (Santa Maria) in a bid to improve taste and stone! I said "yes" and "thanks" all in the same breath and while I waited for them to arrive I started to do some research online. I…

I'm sure you've heard the rumors of being followed home by the police, i always thought they would have something better to do like actually catch criminals..... Today I went to a small little hydroponics store down a quiet street, didn't park directly outside the shop, just a few spaces down, went in had a chat to the very helpful and 100percent legit store owner on what system to use and settled on getting a 50 liter bag of coco and some nutrients. loaded up the car and headed 5 minutes down the road to the supermarket to get some supplies for lunch. pulled out onto the main street and headed home (yeah, i now realise i shouldn't of went straight home but regardless th…

Went to recalibrate my pH truncheon and found it won't lock onto the lower 4 value when calibrating Tried replacing the contact ring, although it wasn't badly discoloured yet and only a few months since it was changed out, but didn't work still? Brought some new battery's as the one's in it now are around 12 months old. Hope that fixes the problem. Will find out soon when the lights come back on...

Has anyone else tried CCrops Aminozym or Bud Boost? My mate is raving about it. Aminozym is a root and grow stimulator,that's used until the end of the second week of bloom.The Bud Boost is a bloom and resin stimulator that's used from the third week of bloom until crop is finished.The babies really took off on this stuff,and the yield and flavour was the best I've ever seen. The best thing is that it only cost him $55 bucks for a 1Litre bottle,and you only have to use 1ml to 1Litre of water,and its 100% organic.And its from Holland. Cheers

I know I'll sound like some old hippy, but is anyone growing in soil with totally organic nutes anymore? There used to be some legends on overgrow before the rapture, but what about here? I haven't really been on the forums for a long while, but it's the one thing that seems to have dropped off. Tom...are you still around? I had a feeling you might have been into it. Don't get me wrong, I love the bio setup, but having just gotten half way through a tomato grow in soil (Black Russians) and tasting them makes me wonder about doing an organic soil grow for old times sake. Or is that old timers sake? So if anyone's doing it, hows it going for ya? Cheers, and hi to the old t…
