recently(last 3 grows)I have been using two T5 system 4 foot by 4 lights 6500k.Very happy with it as i can even have only 2 bulbs running when cloning.So one of the bulbs blew on me and i thought no worries ill by a couple.The price of the bulbs is close to price of whole fixture which came with 4 bulbs in them.So my hps ballasts can be switched to mh.I have never vegetated with somthing as strong as 1000 watt mh (ballasts are 1000 watt)Anyone use mh 1000w for veg and can tell me how well it works.I would save alot of money in the purchase but would I lose that with the price of electricity running a mh 1000w instead of current T5 system I,m running.

I have a cutting from a flowering mother about 2 weeks along after rooting. I just moved it a lot closer to light (600w mh) because I had it at 3 feet and a friend of mine said it was probably getting little or no light. This is my first time growing. I'm just trying to get an idea of when to switch to flowering for this plant. Sent from my REVVL 2 PLUS using Tapatalk

Hey peeps! So iv got a few seeds that didn’t make the tent on this run, thinking about just throwing them in a few pots in the tent to veg out a bit and then outside to get them out of the way...... I probably won’t run autos in the tent again, for the fact of how finicky they are and really only saving a month on time for less quality and yield. Now! I’d still like to try and get the most out of them outdoors because a jar of ok herbs is better then no jar at all....... any tips towards autos outdoors would be appreciated! Months, potsize, soils and what not....... I have little to no outdoor experiance! Chimp glue autos are going soooo good in the tent and loving eve…

So ive been looking at all sorts of potting mediums, and after looking at soiless like coco a lot of people have said it's hard for beginners so I decided not to do that, and the supersoil I've heard of cannot be bought in the UK and I cannot create my own due to constrictions. So my question is what is the best way to grow with soil? Any specific type I should get (I live in UK so cannot buy ocean forest) and if I do go soil how do I give it nutrients and the sort? Many thanks

Hey all, I've got a few Barney's Farm auto seeds i'm wanting to use, and i'm thinking of trying hempy buckets. They seem like a tidy, low maintenance set up but i've got a couple questions and wouldn't mind some pointers from the pros if you got any The setup - Jiffy pods for starters, then2-3x 10L Black Bunnings bucketsOutlet taps to mount ~50mm off the bottom100% PerliteMegaCrop for nutes1x 600w HPS1x1 TentHand wateredSo the questions i've got niggling in my head are - Do I need air stones in bottom? I've seen some set ups with PVC tubes down the side of the pot, what are these for? (i've seen air lines fed down them, so wondered if thats their only purpose)H…

Hey crew When flipping the lights to flower do you let the tips of the plant come up through the net , or do you keep training them under the net the entire time to expose the entire branch to the light ? I’ve been training them but then once flipping I’ve let them naturally come up through the net - noticed it’s then shading out a lot of the popcorn buds which would have more potential if it was laid sideways and they could turn into big colas themselves is that the go ?????

g’day all i was hoping to get information from growers that have grown photoperiod cannabis strains that are typically small in height. In this case, any plant that can be easily grown that finished up less than 1m in height. there are many talented ozstoner growers that utilise scrog and super cropping techniques, however in this situation … i was hoping to get information about strains that typically grow under 1 metre when topped once/twice, by using LST, or preferably … without any training. to start things off … Strain: Afghani#1 Breeder: Sensi Seeds Seed Type: regular Type: 95% indica Traini…

Hi guys. I am wanting a few tips and some leads on different products. First off, I have a 1.2x1.2x2 tent coming with a 600w hps cooltube and a cfl for starters. I was going to go led, but will look at that for next grow. My initial idea was to try dwc, 2 plants in a 50 litre tub. I would like some leads on a good locally available sterile agent like z7. Other idea, maybe easier for a newb, is a dirt style grow. Basically I have about 600 dollaroos to set up with. Will be getting the all-star hybrid pack from sss. Thanks for any info. Have been lurking and reading heaps of diaries etc. So now I am totally confused. I am in central qld to, so trying to keep t…

Hey everyone just want to ask a question about a lot of pics I've seen throughout the forum of plants that are obviously right before harvest. Seems many people trim pretty much every leaf off leaving just bud and the plant still intact. Is this to harden the buds? Or perhaps to focus the last of its energy into bud size? A lot of mixed info on this going around and would like a straight answer as to why I've seen it so much thanks guys! Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Has anyone tried adding a UV B light late flower? Did you notice any difference in final potency? It’s supposed to help increase THC levels and there are cheap UV B lights used for reptiles which would be easy to use. Using a HLG which doesn’t appear to have any UV B spectrum. Cheers.
