Anyone got any experience with brix meters? My mate, the one who grows has been given a new product to try called "Brix Plus". It apparently helps retain optimum brix levels(carb0hydrate) when drying. george Cevantes has been advertising Brix Meters of late as well...previously they were the domain of wine growers.. here is some info from his site: Regards Kash

On my 10th week of my second grow of G13 and G13 x HP.. Ive gotten to go quite well this time. They are very simliar. This time round I took all shade leaves off, topped, and trained the branches..so they were spleighed out..(my plants were ultra compact) It rewarded me well for the effort.. I rekon next time Ill be trimming the excess leaf every 2 weeks.. At 10 weeks flower they are geting a nice fruity overtone to them, and some purple tinges.Totally sugar coated. Each plant has about 10 coke can sized heads on it.not bad considering they are just in a 250mm squat pot.. I rekon ill try them in a bubbler system next time. This strain has potential..but I rekon it tak…

Hi, This is a run down on my current systems, 1st unit is a portable wardrobe, has a exhaust fan in the very top of the unit, which blows past an ozone generator 20w, Inlet fan is mounted in the side of the unit and blows fresh air on to the plants (and light at the moment), I run a flood and drain system, hydroton, fan controller (thermostat), system is fed 15 mins every 2 hrs, fans operate at 29deg, nutes are warmed to 22deg, 1st system is NLPI and is 2 plants. The light is run so that it turns off at 8pm and comes on again at 1am, I have not made these units light proof but is easily done if needed, but I dont need stealth anyways. 1000ppm in grow, 1680 in flower…

When using co2, say during the flowering cycle, how often should you dose the gas, and for how long?

I was going to grow in the crown land near my house with a good mate from school. Anyway I've got all the sites ready and got all the gear together, basically all the hard work and I've realised I can do all this for myself!! How should I ditch my mate softly? Please help coz he is a good mate of mine. P.S He doesn't know where the sites are. Thanks, Marty

I have two sativa babies under fluros which i want to transfer outdoors. Problem is their day cycle at the mo. is during the night so if i put them outdoors during the day(at the end of their "day" cycle) they will get probably 28 hours of solid light. Is this a problem or can any of you growers suggest some way to do it? thanks

I have just started growing indoors having grown outdoors for a few years(in another country). I found a good natural plant to fertelize is Comfrey, yep thats right, good for burns, sore joints and fertilizer!!! You can grow em round your plants as they do not get big and like a little shade.Then simply remove and place the mature bigger leaves around the stem of the plant to decompose(mulching) or leave em to rot in a container with water and use later. They dont need any attention, just a little water now and then. Very good companion plant.....always had good results without using any chemical nutrients.

I have read heaps that foliar feeding should only be done just before lights out, can anyone tell me why please. I know that foliar feeding plus a full light cycle equals mould(by experience). Any other reasons?
