I just bumped into an ooooooold mate of mine. To cut a long story short, we got talking about the 'old days' and he told me he is still growing, where I gave up a few years ago. I went to his place last night and was amazed, to say the least. He only has 4 plants, however his grow room measuring 5m x 5m is completely full of SOG. It was that full, I didn't believe he only had 4 plants. I got down on my stomach and checked the pots. Sure enough, 4 pots with 1 plant in each. He is growing in 500mm buckets, with one bucket sitting in another of the same size. The inside bucket has holes underneath for drainage into the outer bucket. The 'lip' of the buckets keeps the i…

Hi all, I'm just wondering the best age to start flowering. I've got a few babies at 3 weeks old and 1 at 8 weeks. The 8 week old VB is already showing pre-flowers. Can i start flowering now?, Or do i have to wait longer before they are mature enough to turn the lights back?. Any help much appreciated, Thanks.

I just had a thought when I was looking at the hydroponics website where I am a member aswell, they have a food & plant dehydrator with six drawers for $308.51 (members price) I was thinking just as an experiment how about using the machine to dry the buds and see what happens?if I was to purchase one I would certainly shop around for a better price Just a thought Happy hunting

I did a fair bit of research before starting my grow, but what I didn't do is plan everything out and get my cabinet running and tested before I started growing. Now I've had plants growing for about a month, I still have to put up sheets of ply and blankets at night around the cabinets to stop light leaks being seem from outside the room. Also when the doors are closed the cabinets get up to 36 degress, so during the day I have the doors open with an oscillating pedestal fan in front of them. So in short I've got two cabinets running way too hot with light leaks galore and no smell control in place yet and I want to put these babies into flower within the next mont…
