Hi everyone. I've been reading these forums for about four years and am only now trying an indoor grow. I've tried to grow outdoor in the backyard before, but the plants have either been stolen or a housemate freaked out and told me to ditch them. I'm in a good place now, with few visitors and a cool housemate. I germinated some seeds about three weeks ago in a glass of water, then planted them in some 6' pots of cheap potting mix. They sprouted within 7 days, but since i'm living in Melbourne the weather's been cold and plants grew slow. I've had a 400w hps i bought from ebay a while ago, so set that up in an old toilet no-one uses about 2-3 feet off the ground a…

I've had a brainstorm . We've got an old waterbed here, so I'm thinking of taking the frame and set it up, place the liner inside it, and start tossing bags of coco cor into it. Use it as a typical veggie garen kinda idea, but with all the advantages of hydroponics!. Prob wont be able to do this right now, but I reckon I'll give it a go but. rob

How often should I flush during the grow? I do it only twice coz I'm lazy, and I've taken an EC reading of the nutes when I do flush- I run to waste- and it is as high as 30, I keep flushing til its down to 10 or 12, then feed as normal. Should I be doing this more often? aussie1

Hi all this is a bloody good forum. My plan is to veg indoor under 2 600w mh's and throw them out doors. Should work well with the daylight hours/ strong sun in the tropics though they'l be at the mercy of the weather. This is kinda a semi guerrilla grow as they'l be chucked out in the bush. Currently i have 4 or 5 afghans nearly ready to chuck out. Four have already been chucked out, two massacered by something. The two surviving ones have exploded in size since putting them out side two weeks ago and should be nice girls. I guess I want less plants and more yield to keep it simpler/safer. Im thinking of running some kind of auto feed outdoors aswell as indoors.…

Hey guys, thanks for your tips re: stretchy little sucker. I tipped that one pretty hard and in the mean time the runt of the litter has taken off, and is very thick and bushy - possibly too much . Being a complete novice at this, should i thin her out a bit? They're about 4 weeks old now, but had an interupted youth with a shitty outdoor light and poor ventiliation, so i guess i should look at upping the nutrients a bit and heading towards a 12/12 cycle. By the way, they're in coco, hand watered water/nutes every other day, under 400wHPS, and now WITH good ventilation. Currently on 18/6. Sexing will be an issue soon too I guess. The steep learning curve!!…

If I was to construct a NFT system with round pipe so that in effect I was doing DFT (deep flow technique), I would have to run the nutes at a lower rate than what I am now through the clay balls wouldn't I? what EC - ballpark? Has anyone tried DFT? I've read that you should fill the round 6"pipes to around 40% before they hit the drain - does that sound correct? At around 1-2lt/min I think... And the pots sit lower when the clones are young, higher as they grow longer roots, so should this be timed with the switch of lights? I know that whatever level the waterline is established at must be consistently maintained to ensure you don't drown the oxygen grabbing roots but …

I am going to set up a wardrobe grow from seed, however I need to get the show on the road as quick as possible. I am wondering what the best technique would be to start from seed, determine sex and then either remove the males and hermies and scrog the females, or maybe take a few clones from every plant and have them in veg while I turn back the main light to flower, determine which will be males and then transfer all the females into the wardrobe and gp from there. I was wondering if its possible to just flower plants for long enough to determine sex, then return back to veg for a while tio scrog em, than flower again? Whats the earliest I can start a strain such as ku…

A while ago some talk was being made on making clones using water bublers. Along the way someone asked how the rooted clones were removed from the bubbler without damaging the roots. One way was shown using thin styrafoam, and I thought it might be worth showing this way too. I realise most everyone's done this, but thought it might be of value to anyone not having done it before. I was shown how to do this withthe idea of keeping the plant stem out of the water body itself, and just close enough that tghe exploding bubbles wet the stem, so as to help beat any chance of rot. But then recently I was told it doesn't matter a rat's arse, and they strike so quick I have n…

While watching t.v. i saw a cunninghams advert where that dude was screamin about stuff to buy, I saw the draws with wheels and BAM my mind slapped me updie the head with a wiked idea... Ya know how hard it is (it was last time) to lugg a huge pot inside and outside, well why not buy a large pot that will fit through doorways, and attach large rubber wheels on the bottem, this way you can just roll the plant over the door steps an out into the yard to bask in the sunshine an when the suns settin you can wheel her inside for dark time and she will warm if your bedroom is how sweet would that be to have your baby wid ya hehehe... well thats the begining of a …

Hi guys, This is grow number one, not entirely sure what I am doing but thats half the fun right 2 plants (clones - 1 x white widow, 1 x chronic) both started off 4cm tall, grown in coco in a cupboard, hand watered using nutes every second day, water every other. Now due to budget constraints, the poor little guys were grown 18/6 under your generic type outdoor flood light. One plant took off and the other did absolutely nothing - didn't look sick but just didn't grow? 2 weeks later, and the crazy plant has kept growing, but looks stretchy and too tall for the foliage it has, but the runt of the litter has come to life with good concentrated growth. The…
