Hey guys heres a description of my grow: cupboard dimensions 180cm X 90cm X 50cm 400w HPS Passive air intake with 2X 25cm ballbearing ceiling extraction fans 20-25L pot with 100% perlite medium I started the grow from seed which i germed in rock wool cubes and ran at half strength nutes for a week before slowly increasing the strength. The plants are roughly a month old and are being vegged at 18/6 This is my first shot at growing and im more concerned about getting through the grow successfully than yield (although high yield is obviously preferred ) Can anyone tell me a safe amount to water my plant so as that im not at risk of overwatering.

Hey everybody I just picked up a bottle of the product in the topic title ansd was wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it: What it is, When to use, why to use, how to use etc... All I know is that you use it at the end of budding to stimulate bud growth only, making big, fat buds. Is this stuff like an organic version of monsta bud? I was told it is not so much a fertiliser as growth growth hormones and trace elements or something.. Need help please!!

I am new and have created a stealth scrog setup under 150w HPS . My clones went in yesterday using tap water - is this wrong and can I change it asap. The second question is about nutes. I am using Holland's Secret and have the amounts to use per gallon for each week. So do I : 1. Just add concentrated nutes to the tank each week? 2. Do I empty the tank and re-fill with new water and new nutes? I have a pump and access hole for drainage. Thanks

Hi stoners I'm in the early stages of a coco/perlite grow with Growth Technology coco nutes. Seedlings are 5 days old sativa and i'm feeding them 1/2 strength nutes as per directions on the bottle with a drop of superthrive. Problem is my ppm reading is only 600 at this strength. Seems a bit low to me What do ya reckon guys? Should i up the strength a bit?

This is my favourite and friends love it. Its simple and easy. 44gal food grade plastic drum with screw lid, if you want heaps of liquid ferts. But the drum size is up to you. Panty hose x 5 Cow manure Sheep manure Horse manure Chicken manure Comfrey leaves Fill each panty hose with a manure, and place in the drum with string tied around the panty hose. So they can be removed later on. Fill drum with water, put the lid on and wait. Every second day take the lid off (prepare for the smell) and give the drum a good stir. You will know when it is ready when there is no smell left. Now the best part, this has to be done once a week until you have use…

Hey all, im new here, just getting my first grow going. I germinated 8 seeds in some paper towel, and have now transplanted them into bio-degradable jiffy pot type things. They have sprouted and formed their water leaves and are all starting to grow their first set of true mj leaves, and have been put into some larger pots with a general purpose potting mix that should be able to keep then going for a week or so. At the moment the roots are still only using the seed raising mix in the bio-degradable pots, but will reach the outer general purpose potting mix soon im assuming. I want to get these transplanted into proper holes lined with plastic, or sink some 40L pots asap,…

We are using seed raising mix with some perlite mixed. It came with all the res, pumps & stuff but we are goin soil & hand water till we get the hang of it. So for 1 plant in soil hand watered.... what would be the best flower nutes to buy & would the 1lt A+B do a 9 week flower? After we get better we have some Jack herer

Hey dudes. Has anyone had experience with dripfeeding coco? Im doing this experiment with the setup in the pic. The pot is 75 liter, the drip feeders are 4 liters per hour each. What im looking for is an even spread of water through ther pot without any dry patches so that the coco isn't wasted. When i see some water i the tray underneath i'll pull out the coco and see how it went. Any advice would be appreciated. cheers RR

Just wondering how it turned out. Was it still bush or did it turn out like hydro? I'm considering a "bush" type sativa for indoor/outdoor grown in coco. Cheers RR

Hey guys. This is my first time here, and I wanted to ask something. My friend is a fisherman and he kills eels, chop them up and put it in the bottom of his pot because he says it fertilises his plants. Would this be a source of nitrogen considering the fertiliser Blood and Bone, has nitrogen from "bone and flesh"? Just an interesting alternative that I would be keen to try as long as it didnt kill the plants. Also, the plants are 3 weeks old and the stems are still kinda week and some of them still slightly bend over, is this a nutrient deficiency or what? The soil is crappy grade soil, mixed with Blood and Bone, and then some Miracle-Gro. Thanks guys.

I was over at a mates place a few months ago, and he was showing me his nice grow shed. He had some really large gas type bottles bottles, that I think he said contained co2 or somethinf like that. What was he going on about, and how do they make the plants grow better. He's packed up now and moved north so I can't ask him.
