Happy New Year all. :thumbsup I need to know if I put it in a clone box, the one on killer clones, I made a box like it. after it roots, then if I put it in hydroton balls then in a dome with humidity, and 20w flo. spray it twice a day with ph adj. water will it stay good till roots come out of the bottom of pot. I want to do this because I can't seem to get the roots to come out if I place it in the bubbler. If you need more info just yell.

im planing a new grow in the next couple of mnths, got some ak47 on order nearly $200 for the beans so i hope there that good, the down side is im going to have to grow in a rental unit flat or something, im planing to convert a large fidge for the purpose as i feel it might be best for stealth, 400w globe, does anyone else grow at rental props? i was thinking of fitting my doow locks so knowone can poke around if im not there inspections etc, I know it sucks for safety but i gota smoke and cant stand buying also i wont know anyone at all where im moving to. and the expense of buying gets cripling money wise.

just wondering if anyone here, instead of leaving the lights on for 12 hours constantly, has put the light on for 6 hours on, 6 hours off, 6 hours on then 6 hours off??? may sound stupid but i had a dream about it last night and dont think i'll be able to get it outter my head unless i try it or find out from a fellow grower :smoke im not too sure what would happen, probably make ya plants go hermi or something but never know, the gap in the grow cycle might make the buds bigger and better, who knows :scratchin if u do, leave a reply

Hi everyone, hope that your all having a great x-mas season and will party hard on the new year. I'm about to embark on a new system, (when do I not? ) and this time it's a pair of rockwool slabs in libra trays, with 3 plants each under the ol' 400w. I may well be upgrading to 600w when I get an opportunity, but the heat is hard enough to control with a 400 in a small cupboard, let alone a 600. Maybe when I get myself a decent shade.... Anyway, I'm rambling here. You can see a basic description of the system at Highlife.com.au, for convenience sake I'll provide both the main page, here... and the growing schedule, describing the system here... The problem is that…

Hi all, After alot of looking around at diferent systems I'm just about to start my first hydro set up. I've done a couple of indoor soil grows before and admit that hydro rules. My grow room is 1200,1200 and 2300 high. I like the flood and drain system and was thinking a 900,900 tray the only thing that bothers me is that these trays are only 100 deep, is this deep enough to get good results from say 3 or 4 plants? Also would a air stone and pump be benaficle in this system as I belive it all ready has a good oxegen rate? thanks Wal

I ended up with 610 ppm. 5 hours later I see dark spots and lines like veins. Is my nutes to strong, my plant is only 4 days into veg. Thanks. :thumbsup

This is my first attempt at bubblers.I'll be using 4x 20lt buckets,one will be a controller with a float valve,also a 40-50lt raised res.I know when using bubblers that you only use around 1/3 strength nutes.My question is that when i'm topping up between my 1-2 week nute change do i use the same strength nutes or just plain ph adjusted water.Every time i read something about it,the answers are different.

I feed a three part solution to my e/f system, but the problem is when i go to change the water in my reservoir and change out the nutrients, the new ones i put in never fully dissolve (even after vigourisly mixing for 5 min!). So what I did was dissolve the nutrients in VERY HOT WATER, and then mixed it into the reservoir. Does the slightly lower than boiling water alter the chemical balance in the solution??? FEEDBACK APPRECIATED

I was chating to my local hydro shop bloke, and he sugested using a couple of cups of sugar mixed with warm water to make a liquid to add to the plant a couple of days b4 harvest, to sweeten up the taste, anyone tried this? sounds a bit dodgy to me.
