I'm planning on setting up a small grow in my wardrobe on a shoe-string budget. I need someone to give me some advice on whether the following idea is a good one or not. - Two chambers. Bottom one used for growing, top for drying. The bottom chamber is 40cm high, 40cm wide and 45cm deep. The top is 35X40X45. - Plants will grow in rockwool, using X-Factor or similar nutrients. - CO2 provided by vinegar/bi-carb drip. - Flourescent lighting. - Holes to be cut in rear of both chambers (about the size of a 50c piece) for ventilation. I'll be growing White Widow X Sweet Tooth. It will only really be for myself and a small circle of friends, essentially because we're…

These are some pics from my first grow (400WHPS, Organic), the plants are SWT#3 ( from stonedas) thanks mate , Blueberry, and Northern Lights. The pics where taken yesterday and i think i will be harvesting the NL and SWT#3 in a couple of days, the Blueberry was slow to flower and has another week or 2 to go i reckon. Ill try and get some pics of the finished product in a few weeks. I have also put a few pics of my outdoor Very Berrys, thought you might like to see what they are like outdoors. Sorry about the crappy pics , the camera was a bit old. Also a big thanks to stonedas, rob and some other people off OG for helping me out along the way and giving me ad…

Chlorine overdose causes leaf margins and tip burn and leaves to turn bronze. Repeated applications of chlorine also acidify soil. Remove chlorine from water by letting it sit overnight in an open reservoir or barrel. When in contact with air, it volatizes into a gas and dissipates into the atmosphere.

Hi all, I'm about 2 weeks away from harvest and have noticed most of my buds are starting to form seeds, Will i lose much in the way of potency when ripe?, Or will the end product still be ok?. Thanks all, Much appreciated, Paranoid.

I have 5 Afghani #1 Clones in my growbox 1.7m height x700mmx700mm, 400w Son T Agro, Do you think this is enough space? Any advise on this strain would be much appreciated, I plan on veging them till about 1 foot befor flowering them, what aprox yeild do you think I will get. Should I be tipping these plants or pruning or anything?

Hi Ppls, Another newbie question here I've decided to make the splash and try my hand a little gardening. I'm thinking of getting a SpaceMonsta 8 (http://www.grow.com.au/pspacemonsta.html) an I have a couple of questions before I get started. Would this box be any good to start with? They say it can grow up to 8 plants. And, what are some strains that wouldnt produce much odour? My space is very limited (it'll be in my cupbaord!) as I live in a 1 bedroom apartment so my options are quite limited, an smells would be a bit of a problem because this place isn't too big. Any thoughts would be really appreciated! Thanks.

Hi i was jus curious if melbourne water is the right pH for gorwing or if growrite balances the pH or if in addition to growrite i should add bi-carb soda/hydrogen pyroxide. sorry bout the confusing post, prolly have to read it twice Pete

Hi all, I just want to get the safest tds reading. I'm ready to add my flower nutes and was wondering what the best range to start off would be. I try to keep my ph around the 6-7 mark(cant be exact with the liquid measure). I have read to keep ppm around 1000, Would this be a safe starting point. With my last few grows i was using what the bottle said and what the instructions to my system said, When i got my tds meter i realized my ppm was around the 1800 mark. Everything grew well but was all unknown bagseed. Now that i am growing strains which i know, I dont want to risk overfert. Any help here much appreciated, Thanks heaps, Paranoid.

I've noticed one or two posts where PH levels have been mentioned which seemed to be incorrect. I've sourced the following charts for PH levels in Hydro and Soil and the availability of Nutrients at various PH levels The charts have been kindely provided by St0ney at Marijuana.com\Operation Overgrow

If you have the space and can do this without raising attention of neighbours a good way of providing c02 enrichment is to shut down lights and fans and gas them with a lawnmower or rideon lawn mower as its in a confined space and omits nice amounts of co2 to plants.Turn fans on about 30 mins after carbon has settled(leave mower on near grow space for say 15mins.

Hi everyone Its good to be here. Im from Canberra where there is a good weed scene & top pot I was wondering what yields people were getting in what spaces or under what lights. I heard of someone getting 38oz from 1600w, is this good? What do you reckon? Smileing Paul Warner Esq.
