has anybody info on using optic fibre MH lighting systems for growing. A new product Hydra Light promises 1000w off a 150wMHballast with no heat $1700 cad. By directing the placement of Hydra Light’s nine fibre ends, the grower controls the intensity of light. As a result, the PAR value delivered to plant surfaces from Hydra Light’s 150W HID lamp can be greater than the PAR value delivered by a 1000W HID lamp. alvin.disterheft@fibresun.com Fibre Sun Inc. researches, developes and manufactures proprietary and licensed products incorporating Cool Sun, its patent-pending fibre optic plant lighting technology that distributes full-spectrum high intensity light directly t…

you have probably heard of people having grown dwarf cannabis, well heres a simple technique to dwarf your plants. get an old ice cream container and cut it down untill its about an inch deep fill with soil plant your seed's 1cm down when they sprout the tap root hits the bottom of the ice cream bucket and stunts the plants growth. You leave it in the container for a few weeks, by the time there are a few sets youll notice its throwing out sets of leaves no bigger than a 20 cent peice then transplant into bigger pots the plant will then continue to grow dwarfed ive seen plants grown this way that are barely a foot tall with 30 sets of leave's with hands no bigger than a …

just wanted to know wats wrong with just growing in a pot of dirt, drenching with water every few days and spraying the plant with diluted nutrient every night? as long as the light is still drying the soil out enough would u really have to worry about ph and everything?

Ill be adding to this, with info on things such as additional nutrients in a foliar spray and such, but I need to go to bed Here's a good chart I was looking at just before on a crop production site from Australia. It may change the mind of some people here, with the need for N in veg phase, and the such low PH levels.. like I hear some people using 5.6 and 5.8 PH.. I think 6 and 6.2 would be better for nutrient absorbtion.. according to this chart.

Hi there, I have read somewhere that a dark period at the end of flowering for about 48hrs, just prior to harvest, increases the potency/quality of the final product. Anyone out there know of any truth to this. I am about to chop the last remaining plant in my first grow & am wondering if I should bother? I also read somewhere about harvesting early in the morning( in terms of light cycle) as there is supposedly more THC in the buds. Any ideas guys??

Hello, I have 15 clones in a aero kit, they've just rooted and are looking great. I only need to keep them going for another month until my current crop is finished. Should I be feeding the plants with nutrients? If so, should I just use my normal Canna Vega nutrient or try something else?? Thanks for the help.....again Cheers dwyndorf

Hi ppl, Done some bush growing b4 but finally got to the point where I had to give indoors a go. So there I am in a cupboard and I realise that I need to have something to drain the nutrients coming out of the pot, as the cupboard will soon rot. So I got a pot tray from K-Mart, but I can see this will just be a problem because the nutrient wont go anywhere and I will have to lift the plant up to drain it out. I am still at the seedling stage so lifting isn't a problem now, but what are the best drainage solutions for a cupboard?
