thought it'd be good to look at how much it actually costs to grow your own the main cost is electricity I think. assuming you're paying an average of 15c per kWhour, multiply your wattage by .00015 to work out the cost per hour of running your light. eg a 400watter would cost 6c per hour. water would be bugger all, assume thats free. This is my estimate for my little setup: I run two 430Watters, so my cost would be 2 x 430 x 18 x 7 x .00015 = $16/week as for the other stuff, I reckon my cabinets/fans/timers/pots etc would all be worth $500. Replace on average every 3 years thats works out to say $5/week. Nutes & mediums & sundries, say $50 per grow - $…

Hey there fellow jedi..... Just wondering if anyone has used either the "Cocopeat"(that's the company's brand name.) "Easyfil" grow bags or the "Cocopeat" mixed cocopeat and bark media? I saw them advertised in the Practical Hydroponics and Greenhouses mag, and thought that what works for tomatoes, seems to work well for good ol mary jane too, so maybe these growbags could be a good way to grow. I've seen some people grow with other media in black plastic bags, like those you usually get rosebushes in, and I thought that this new product may be convienient for the avg. grower.... And if anyone out there has used the mixed peat + bark media, I'd love to hear your exp…

Instead of clay balls does anyone thing it is possible to grow in volcanic rocks? or large chunks of blue metal? Swing has never tried, but can get these products for free. Any advice would help Swing save a few bucks. Thanks in advance

let me first admit that my growing experience is limited...i used to pot my plants up and forget them, with only minimal checking....i probably missed out on recognising early veg/flowering indicators by doing this.....so please forgive me if my questions appear stupid, the terminology is not "technically correct" and if the answers are obvious.... anyhow, here goes.... i have a late grow happening outdoors, at the moment unprotected, but when serious cooler temps arrive, they are going into a greenhouse....for now, days are warm and growth, while a bit slowerl, is going well.... these babies are a few weeks old and from bottom right to bottom middle are purple sat...an…

Does anyone know anything about Quantumponics? I was browsing through ebay and came across this Quantumponics Emitter in Tank to go into an existing Hydroponics system. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...2&category=3186 http://quantumponics.iinet.net.au/ They make some pretty big claims about increase in plant size, growth rates, yeild, shelf life, resistance to pest, disease and harsh environmental conditions. If this is true then it may be a good investment. Cheers Trumpet

I'd been looking around for a b1 supplement for ages, because in a lot of literature that I'd read it said that b1 was a useful supplement to use to reduce transplant and other stresses. Well, after a long time looking, my girlfriend was at a health store nearby her work and she asked about liquid b1. The store assistant pointed out "Mozi Free", a liquid b1 used to repel mosquitos, (how, I'm not quite sure...) and the love of my life, wonderful woman that she is, bought it on the spot. Now, I've used it in the outer reservoir and my cloning spray for the last few weeks, and so far no bad reactions. I just add a drop to the 1 L spray bottle I use for my clones, and abo…

I want to germinate some seeds in 1" rockwool cubes then put them into 6" inch netpots with expanded clay when the roots come through. Is it ok to leave the rockwool attached to the roots or does it have to be removed the way I do it with seeds germinated in soil ?
