G'day, Jayson here... Introducing myself and seeking opinions on my 1st plant - <Smile> I've almost finished setting up my 1st hydro system and in the meantime, I've been growing this little one for approx 3 weeks now and stressing it once (Soften & Bend technique) approx 4 days after transplanting - I think it's looking pretty happy in there atm... What do others think please, any opinion and constructive crits are more than welcome - cheers! I've attached a JPEG (I hope - grin) for all, please feel free to fire your comments, if you want to that is - <SmilE> Enjoy!!!

Hi all I'm currently on my 3rd weed grow but i have grown other plants hydroponically plenty of times. However this particular grow is giving me a little grief i think i am doing all the same things as usual but my plants look a little stressed and the growth rates are poor. The grow system and room are new and there are a few questions i would like some feed back on. The watering system is a recirculating one i made myself because my commercial grow table wouldnt fit in this place. See pic The water gets back to the main tub (black tub with fan on top to the right of image) via gravity. I suspect my plants are stressed for one or combination of a few rea…

Just an idea i had, to my knowledge it would work but i'd like for you guys to provide some criticism. As i haven't even built a system up yet but am considering making this. Basically for all plants in the clone/veg stage. It has just the normal aeropnic setup but with another little tub in the side of the larger tub. The smaller tub has two spots for clones, with its own water supply (no nutrient). The air pump will produce air for this tub as well as the larger vege tub. It would be sealed off from the vege tub and my idea is just that it kills two birds with the one stone. Also you could obviously modify for more spaces for plants etc. thoughts

heres a system i had in me attic for a few years it held 8 pots full of a clay pebbles with constant trical of water, was too much fecking about though cleaning out and filling up, so i went back to soil. After my soil results im considering going back (yield wise) Once i got 4.5 oz bone dry from one plant from the hydro system, i know it aint a lot but being married with 2 kids i dont have as much time to spend on it as i should caring and looking after the plants.. So i could be back using old faithfull again, Peace and oot

Hi all, hope you're all well mellow. I am! As I've mentioned elswhere, i have a friend who lives in a battery-hen estate, in a house the size of a matchbox- - let's call him Ralph. (In this country you never know whose looking in - guess it's paranoia but anyway - ) He wanted me to put up some pics of his setup, but as I don't have a camera I've done some diagrams. After thouroughly absorbing so much stuff on this site (he's had to dump a large chunk of previous memories - mostly school stuff) this is the frankenstein setup he's created. He hopes to put a screen in and maximise yield whils keeping the whole setup as low as poss - Max 0.9m There are some imp…

Hi all! My mates water/nutes mix is PH 7 and he's been advised to lower it to 5.5 - 6. Can you use citric acid to lower PH and is that ph correct? PS Awsome feedback on previous posts ! Thanks people!

Hey guys, Im still in my first grow at the moment in the flower stage, i had 4 plants in 6 pots (3 = male, 1 = female) I was gonna let the male pollinate the female to get more seeds because i only have 10. I was told not to do this though so i ripped out the males *crys* and just kept the female. So i took some cuttings off the female in an attempt to clone. My question is, is this the easiest way to keep the room full? Also if im in the early stages of flower and once the clones are ready to go back into the grow room wont i have to switch lights and nutes back to grow, how will this effect the mother? Any feedback is loved.. Cheers

Ok, I've spent weeks finding equipment and crap, 1) Grow box 1.5mx2mx2m (1.5 high) 2) 5x 4 Autopot systems 3) Hps, HID as usual. 4) the nutes 5) Ozone air filter 6)prop tray 7) rockwool cubes 8) CFL grow (light for cloning) 9) Expanded clay balls 10) Timers, and temp gauges 11) Fan (small for inside grow tent) AM I MISSING ANYTING? Does anyone have any information reguarding Belladonna strain and afghanica strain? they look tasty. Does anyone have any info on starting a fake PO box either? Plus in 6 months I'll send it in for canna porn.

i was talking to a friend and he was telling me about this new hydro setup they have built in america, all i know about it that it is a hexagon shape based on 3 levels with a clear plastic pipe down the center with 3 1000 watt lights in the middle with fans on top and bottom so the pipe does not melt. apparently this design you can fit 30 plants on each level. i think it was miami where it was built but i am not sure this is just something that i have heard. i am really interested to see the design because when i heard it it sounded so simple but just so effective. i have been trying to figure out how it is built but a original source would be handy. btw first post, and…

I thought I would suppliment my last post with some pics of the setup. The plants were germinated on Jan 4. The section on the left of the first photo shows the vegetative chamber with LED + CFL, The right shows the main HPS flowering section. Vegetative clones are 4 weeks old - that is the clones rooted 4 weeks ago. Current clone size is 12 inches. Flowering plants have been flowering for just 4 weeks and almost done.
