Hey everyone. I am not very good when it comes to hands on practical skills etc. Thankfully my brother has set up a hydroponics system in my room. It is only 1.2m x 1.2m on the base, but has a 1000w light. I was told by the hydro shop that 1000w for such a space will fry the plants (too hot), but we have done some tests and while the recommended maximum using the lighting calculator is 930w, we have tested the temperature and it doesn't get too hot. I also have air conditioning which our tests have shown dramatically reduce the grow room temperature if needed. I know next to nothing about this. My brother is showing me the way. however my brother has only ever use…

G'day All, I realise that this question probably comes down to strain specific, however, can anyone offer me a general rule of thumb for stretching capacities of sativa and indica strains? I have just switched these ones to 12/12 yesterday. 2 on the left are mango ( papaya ) - mainly indica strain, and the one on the right is an OG haze x skunk - mainly sativa, and was curious as to whether the sativa is going to " outstretch " the indica, and if so, how to combat this? Apologies for the bluriness - mobile phone + the shakes. THCME

I'm considering setting up a small hydroponics operation, say 3-5 plants, in my parents house. There is a perfect area, the right size, in a disused and hard to get to basement where i'm 100% sure my parents never go and will not notice anything. The only problem is; i'm wondering how much having a small hydroponics setup will cost on our electricity bill, for it its too much of a spike my parents are sure to know. Can anybody tell me roughly how much a small hydroponics setup will cost? much appreciated.

Hi all, just been reading integral hydroponics. The author says that he prefers to have smaller but numerous plants. I have heard some people prefer a couple of large plants rather than numerous small ones. Which would be amoretti eficient and higher yielding way provided all our factors(temp, humidity etc) are ideal? And what would be the best time? How many weeks for veg and how many weeks for flower. I am currnetly on 5 veg and 8 flower any feedback will be greatly appreciated

i've run systems with RO water in the past and have always been conflicted regarding the waste water level, the machine i have has a 1ltr good to 2ltr waste ratio,so when i fill a 200ltr drum of good,400ltrs is going down the drain. Obviously the quality is heaps better and the plants love it,they are getting full balanced nutes instead of 0.8ec of suspect properties(heavy metals etc), i use House & Garden PH Stabiliser to control the PH flutuation. i guess wot im trying to say is can we justify this water consumption for the health of our plants when they do grow with tap water just not quite as well. i'm in south oz and we clearly dont have much water about. does …
