the idea behind a vertical grow is to maximize light foot print. traditional grows only leave you with nice top colas. wouldn't if be nice if that nice top cola was the whole plant! This is my V-Tub. Very simple to make very simple to grow high yields. this can be used in bigger applications as well feel free to shoot any questions. Materials 10cm hole saw 10cm Hose adapter 10cm Inline Fan/blower (2) 75L tubs (4) cool tube: recommend 250-400 Start with lining the insides of both tubs with reflective tape/mylar or paint. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff96/5ampson/IMG_3570.jpg use your hole saw to cut a hole in the dead center of the top tub http://i238.photobucke…

I am wondering if anyone can tell me if freezing seeds will preserve them? I am waitingt nto get some seeds from UK and they have not received my money yet. A friend has some hydro seeds she will give to me (don't know what strain) so I am thinking of planting them in between time as the boat is slow from China getting them here. When they arrive will I be able to preserve them until time to plant? Many thanks to those who can put me on the right track.

Hi all, Having feverishly read through this site (and others) over the last few weeks I've decided it's time to man-up and get growing my own slice of green heaven. As a bit of a noob in this field I'm hoping people might be able to run an eye over my proposed grow room setup and what I understand to be the best method to grow from seed. Anyway....here goes. GROW ROOM SETUP Grow Tent (1.2x1.2x2m) 600W Sun Master HPS kit (ballast, bulb & batwing shade) Centrifugal Exhaust Fan (200mm) Odor Sock Charcoal Filer QUESTIONS 1. Is 600W overkill for the roomsize? 2. What size of Odor Sock do you think I'll need? 3. Will my single exhaust fan fitted with the Odor …

Hi All, have just joined here and i am a uk420 member . Hoping someone on here has grown HDF at some point and can give me a feeding regime guide for them .i am growing in compost and feeding with bio bizz, now in the 4th week of flower and the main cola is huge already- 15 inches- but it is threatening to outgrow the room. had a bit of universal yellowing of the fan leaves and cut out the bloom for a couple of feeds and doubled the grow to 2ml per litre,and seems to be settling down a bit.Any tips would be helpful,cheers.

Howdy - I'm on my 2nd grow and am having all sorts of bother with the plants this time compared to last time and was hoping someone could shed some light? My setup is in a shed (I'm in South Australia) , and I've got two plants going with 2x600 watts on each one. I'm 45 weeks into flower, and the plants are looking really 2nd rate. The heads are at least a third down on the last batch and I'm using the same techniques, lights & chemicals as the last batch - the only things that are different are: Temperature - we've had some stinking days and are heading fore more - I've got a great extractor fan and am running a room fan to circulate the air as well, but does temp…

Found this floating around and was wondering if anyone here has tried or knows if it helps with growth? Quote Hightimes: BREAKING Breaking is an advanced technique(Supercropping II, Sep. 00 HIGH TIMES) whereby you break the inner herd of the plant without damaging the outer, which is where all the plants strength comes from. Break open the stalk of a cannabis plant and you'll notice immediately the hard, outer herd. This is where textiles come from. The soft inner, lighter colored material is pure cellulose. The plant passes water and nutrients cell to cell through this network of cellulose. Breaking the plant's inner walls will cause it to rebuild. But it rebuilds…

Hello - I'm not only a first-timer here, but also a first-time grower. I'm growing a couple of plants outdoors in the sun, in large pots. They're doing really well, so far. (10 weeks old) I have a problem with nosey neighbours, however, and wondered about pruning the plants to keep them low. Could someone please give me some advice on how and when and where to prune my "babies"? Many thanks in anticipation, Oz1
