As I am new to perlite could some one please help me with an optimal watering schedule. How often should I turn my pumps on? What hours Day/Night/Both? It would also be good to have the schedule cover cloning, vegging and flowering periods. If it helps I am using 15 litre pots. TIA

Hi All It's been a while since my last post so here is a progress report using the Autopot system and HPS / LED combo. The plants are looking good should be ready in a few days. I'm going for the trippy high rather than the body stone and a sample shows it about there. Total flowering time so far is 4 weeks - Seeds sprouted Jan 4. My next lot will be kept smaller as the clones are all female and will be grown as SOG. Strain is a Jack Frost x Northen lights Questions, comments welcome! At 5 weeks after germination: http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/1236/0093zb6.jpg Now: http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/6285/67653990fa2.jpg http://img401.imageshac…

Ok, so I've been growing dope for many years, and been doing it in hydro since 1997...but I'm still pretty much a "grow by numbers" kinda bloke when it comes to hydro. You know, mix this, flush that, bla bla...but the finer points are something that's eluded me, perhaps because I baulked at some of the text books I have looked into (some use words with more than seven letters in them!!), and maybe because my first love for growing anything is in organic, very bioactive soil. And somehwere deep in my physce, I believe I will return to my first love...oohh..ahhh... Whatever the reason, I've been perplxed and subsequently asked many people, many times why the PH goes mad, …

This is it folks, she's 3 months old and coming into flower next to the spuds! Everything, the lettuce, tomatos, butternut pumkin is going mad with growth and this little teaser don't want to grow! Any ideas? The supply scene is pathetic down this end south of the river WA, thinking about giving it all away after 20 + years of chasing it down and all the frigen anxiety that goes with it! Why is it that 98% of re-sellers are knobs?? , not happy, pull a finger out and look after yer buyers!! Where have all the decent WA growers gone? Mega depressed, no oil either. It's a shame , i got cash and no-one wants it! Life really sucks right now, well for the last 12 months or s…

hi guys, major problem here guys any advice well appreciated. i have just started to grow and after a very promising growth in the first two weeks i came to my plants yesterday and they had all died. pretty much in the space of 24 hrs, they had turned brown at the tips of the leaves and this continued until my babies had shrivelled up and died. My room i 3x1x7ft high with a 600 watt sodium bulb. my medium is just a tomato bag from b and q. as there is limited ventilation this is my main idea for failure. either that or the fact that the soil is very warm????? i really dont understand it. could someone clarify this or am i barking up the wrong tree. i do have a smal…

Hi All, I'm new to the forum and I was wondering if anyone uses the Autopot system? Picked it up at Gardenworld and it looks like a good affordable and compact hydro setup. Plants are doing well in rockwool / perlite with a 3 part nutrient system. Anyone else? Cheers, Evon

Just a question for those with fish tanks etc, What level of PPM can most fish handle?? Why you ask? because when I went in to buy some clayballs today, this guy had gold fish in his flood and drain res. They looked healthy as. So I looked it up on the net when I got home and aparently alot of people have fish in their res, as they produce enough plant nutrients for a plant. But like i guess I need to also be adding some mineral salts to the res, to up the amount of nutrients available. Also what about old water out of my fish tanks? i wonder if this produces enough?? I remember the tropicals I had, we used to add salt to the water. :scratchin :scratchin

I was just making a sodawater and was just wondering what would happen if I used some in the nutrient tank? Does anyone know the pros and cons ? Would it release CO2 into the grow room , would it add oxygen to the water, would it kill the plants ? What you rekon?
