Hi all, I am about to build a new bigger grow op. Ditching the 250w hps for 2 X 400w hps. Im planning on using Adjusta-shades & light spreaders to stretch my room out a bit & to prevent hotspots. Heres a link from the manufacturer Adusta-wing info My footprint will be about 2m x 1m. Room will be 2.4m high. I will be growing 2 large plants, expecting to veg for a month or so. I will be using dwc as ive grown this way twice before & am comfortable with it. Strain will be White Rhino from stonedas...... Anyone got any recommendations.....................

Hi, I will getting my hands on a 10ft long container which will have about 7 square metres of floor space and a cubic capacity of about 16 metres. I am keen to turn this into a grow room. The container will be sitting inside a much larger secure shed. I would like some recommendations on lights/ventilation setups and also how many plants would be able to grow in there. I am thinking of a soil setup with two 600w HPS lamps, a 200mm exhaust fan and a carbon filter. Please let me know of your thoughts. Cheers.

Hi I'm building a new shed and I am seriously considering putting a cellar under it. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in building one and also what size would suit my needs. I have no experience at growing under artificial light, so working out what type of grow and room needed would be helpful also. I want to yield a pound a grow, give or take a bit. Any help would be grateful. Cheers

Howdy, I just locked myself into my grow box to check its lightproofness, it is really good except for a couple of small pinprick of light near the edge of the door. Is this ok or does it need to be perfectly lightproof, keeping in mind the light from the door edge probably wouldn't actually touch the plants? Hopefully this is ok otherwise I have to change the hinge system on the door.

Just went to Bunnings and got some Yates Dynamic Lifter organic food for my plant. Growroom floor is about 1m x 50cm. I have 4 x 20W cool white compact flouros, and plan on getting more as I need them, maybe another 20W of cool white and 3 x 48W of warm, to bring it to a total of 244W. At the moment, there's no point in using more than one bulb as the plant is too small to benefit from any more. Medium is soil, some generic potting mix. I sifted the mix through an big metal sieve to remove the big chunks of bark, charcoal and rocks etc. that I didn't want. Plant is bagseed. Germed 4 about 2 weeks ago, 2 popped, this is the only survivor. I have 5 more germing now and ho…

I need some advice on a growing room. In the past i have done 2 plants in a shitty little wardrobe and had not bad results (but not good also). What i am looking at now is trying to build a better setup. Maybe try and get 6-8 plants going under a couple of 600W lights in a bigger space. Yeild is a must as i am trying to push myself into growing a couple of times a year rather than 3-4 small grows a year. My garage size is a normal double car garage and i am planning on making a shed of some sort to put inside the garage, but only to cover up say 1/4 to 1/2 the garage size. I was thinking of buying one of those tin sheds, but maybe get too hot. But most likley i will…

OK, well first off, I'm new to growing.... but I've been reading everything I can get my hands on for the past month or so, and I think it's about time I actually start with something. Basically what I'm looking for here is ya'lls opinions on the setup I have created! And a side note, the rubbermaid tub can be swapped for something larger if that's the only problem. Basically this diagram (file attached) explains it's self. I'm not looking to grow for money, just for myself. Basically I'm going to try and flower in under 36 days by "forcing" it with 14/10 light cycle towards the half-way marker.

hey all i decided to do a bubbler SCROG grow i finally got a space cleared in a wardrobe outside in my shed, the grow is very stealth and i even have some pretty nifty (yet very basic) locks on the door, which can only be opened by sticking a small peice of wire into 2 small holes i drilled into the door (the holes are unnoticeable) my light will soon be a 250w HPS - can anyone recomend a shop to buy one from (over the net) ? anyway.. my grow space is about 45cm W x 45cm D x 156cm H - its only half a wardrobe. i saw on OG a grower who yeilded 3-4oz from a DWC bubbler in a small set of draws. That was from 3 plants, and the grow space was only 34" in height. i …

Hey everyone Just wanted to no what would be the best possible grow room size [depth width and height] for a 1 plant setup? I plan on using a 600w hps light and carbon filter for odor A rough measurment of my space to construct the grow room in is D=5ft W=6ft and H=5ft but i can dig the ground to make it higher if that would be better, So how big of a room do you guys recommend i build for best results for 1 plant Thanks for any suggestions!! :thumbsup
