Hello all, just a quick question, when growing on a really tight budget, what globe should I use. The cheapest option for me is this method, I can pick the whole thing up cheap at my nearest tandy lighting store, so using this setup, what globes should one buy? And how many would I need for say a 5ft(w) x 6.5ft(L) x 8.5ft (H) room? Or is that type of light just not worth wasting my time on, should I just save up a little first? Any and all feedback is welcomed, Thanks RJ

Ok, im hoping for seedlings at the moment from some seed i had found. im wondering what kind of a set up could work in an old fridge. not expecting anything amazing, just a solid small plant. i have a few fluro battons, an ablite 1000w uneversal lamp holder and also a few cfl fittings. i want to grow in soil, but is it possible in a space that size and still have a thriving plant? drip irrigation and exhaust fans would be going in along with a carbon filter. thoughts?

I've been pondering this for a while; If a plant which sheds its leaves perennially is known as 'deciduous', is there a more technical term than 'evergreen' for a plant which does not? From a very young age I could guess/work out that an 'evergreen' was 'green' all the time. However, the term 'deciduous' foxed me until i made it to secondary education. Many people use the term evergreen to describe conifers but not all conifers are evergreen. Likewise, evergreens are not all conifers. Did botanists simply run out of science and technical words in the past? Surely there must be something more technical than 'evergreen'? Then again, perhaps I am wrong..... Please put me out…

Hey people. My brother is going to set up a grow setup in my room. He used to have a very sophisticated setup, with 3000w, the lights would rotate etc. He's using some of the equipment to set up a simple grow. We are not sure whether to use hydroponics, or just grow organically under the light. I must admit, I like the idea of organic growing, however I am sure hydro probably gets a bigger yield. Lets assume I go the hydro route. If you guys would get a $100,000 reward for who guessed the closest answer, and lets say I get high yielding seeds, roughly what sort of yield would you get from a few plants with 1000w running 24/7 until flowering? I know nobody can …

g'day folks. i had a mate few seasons ago pulled a small plant, twas hermaphrodite... he got like 10000 seeds of it and every single one is female. over 200++ of them seeds have now grown into fully mature female plants. not a male in sight. what i read somewhere here on the forums is that when you do pull a hermi, theres 3 ways ya seeds can go - all female, all male or half/half. now - my mate has moved way too far away to get anymore of thease little babies. im friken kickn' meself. So i want to try and grow a few hermi's in a room, and try hopefully pull 1 batch of all female seeds. if i grew a whole room of hermi's, does this mean that all the seeds can swi…

Hi all, I'm hoping you might help point me in the right direction as to what to grow. I've been doing a bit of reading, that said there are more strains than i know what to do with. i'll be importing seed, and my situation/requirements are as follows, i'd like to grow in soil (indoor is prefered if possible), it will need to be stealthish so no monster bushes, i'd prefer something that gives a good heady/cereberal high though a bit of a body stone is ok. i'm looking to predominately cook and vape with it with the occasional spliff thrown in. this will be my first canna grow so i guess it also needs to be kinda forgiving. if you need more info etc just ask. i'll be lookin…

Hey ppl, I just like to know what kind of scents you get from your plants and do the scents change over time? or just intensify? right now I love the smell of my plants, they are almost a savory (gravy and onion) type of smell, it's strange but it actually brought back some memories of a meal i once ate when i was really young hehe

Hi I hope everyone had a good Christmas and a happy new year. I have a question to ask any experienced grower. What I have is three plants growing and they are in the sixth week of flowering. I don't know the type of plants they are but I do know that they are Sativas, anyhow they are in a growbox and I can't keep the temp down. It is sometimes at the one hundred degree mark! They are growing on a 12 - 12 cycle and looking worse for wear due to excessive heat. I also have several small plants growing outside and they are in a shade house and growing really good and healthy. The question that I want to pose is can I take the flowering plants and put them outside without…

HI. I live in Adelaide, and I don't have much money for a grow op, but I can probably afford (just) the seeds (5) and cheap pots. I want to start growing outdoors in the next 2 or so weeks (hopefully it won't take longer) I have absolutely zero gardening or similar experience, and I am well known for having poor hands on practical skills Nonetheless I am determined, because its that or give up weed for good because the habit is too expensive (actually don't like the word habit, its not very addictive). Okay so what I do is: Get the seeds, put them in a glass of water, wait a few days or so until they look different, then grab them and place them 2-3 cm beneat…
