Hi all been awhile since I been here too busy with summer crop :thumbsup 10 N.L. in 10" pots what I need to know is if I can stick them in 1000w hps right away or will that do damage. Im just trying to get the largest quanity. I will top at 5 weeks and 12-12 them room 4'x8' GH nutes 3 part ph 6.3-6.8 RH. 50-55 Lights 1000w HPS hortilux 400w MH CFL 16,800 lumins 8' 2 tube 100w each =15600 lumins

As I water by hand -- and so far so good, although sometimes I have wilting - I was wondering if there was guideline like for eg. 1 litre per 1 metre of plant in flower every 24 hr? I'm still experimenting 4 weeks into flower - most of my 5 plants are around 150cm - 200cm and i sometimes give them about 3 litres each every 48 hrs or about 1 litre evry 24 hrs? They are in like 15''/15" deep/diameter pots in coco medium. Temp is 22c-24c. I was wondering if there was like a rule of thumb for how much and how frequent to hand water without under or over watering?

For the experts: I accidentally broke the ends of 4 branches while moving them around. They are 4"-6" in length with 4 week old buds -- but fairly small without any coating of resin because they are from the bottom of the plants. I dipped the stalk ends in indole butyric acid - root strike and stuck them in little pots of coco coir in the 2x400w 12/12 light cycle grow room- 3 days ago. My questions are: should I have just dried them out to smoke? Or will they grow into separate plants and produce maturer buds under the present conditions ?or is the light to strong and do I need to put them back in a humid cupboard with a fluro back on the 18/6 cycle for a few weeks? …

i'm toying around with the idea for a clone bank based in australia. basically my idea is to get seeds from xpat/planet skunk/etc , germ them, grow them, get mothers and do clones. something regular as well. not now and then, but more a full time clone bank. if anyone has any suggestions or advice on how to do this securely and properly, please, i'm all ears. the idea came to me over the weekend as i find out alot of people are after them, even in real life in QLD for those who don't know anyone and/or don't have the net, same story, plus i got heaps of time on my hands...haha!

Good morning Stoners I've seen in several posts the mention of hittin em with Rockjuice and/or PK 13/14 ... I'm in the 4th week aprox of flowering and I'm wondering if its another version of megabud that I'm using or something like that .. maybe its not as good ? or is it something on top of everything else? also, my girls are starting to get busy producing lotsa pistels on the top of the branches and at internodes ... but they dont have any smell .... just smell green and leafy ... is the nice smell coming or is something going wrong. can anyone help me on this one? MM

Hi Stoners, I am currently brainstorming for a new GR, and really want to go aeroponics. The only problem I am expecting is keeping the nutes at 20c. So, I have an old box freezer. I am hoping there is an easy way to adjust the thermostat, as to keep the nutes at 20c........please tell me there is :scratchin

Thanks to the help I've had from some of you guys and this forum I was able to save five poor seedlings, and not only that almost 10 weeks later some are almost 6 ft tall! Fistly when I planted them I had no idea what I was doing as my mate whose suggestion it was suddenl moved interstate. I had planted 8 seeds in perlite in little pots under a 400 w hps, (about 30 cm above) which would have cooked them apparently. But thanks to help from guys like labrat and animal after 2 days I took them out before sprouting. I left the seeds on a ledge in the bathroom and over 24 hrs later noticed they were starting to germinate -- that was on a Sunday morning. So, in a panic f…

Does anyone know the power usage in $/per hour of a 400W and 600W light, sontiagro. Cheers
