i've heard so many different stories. from "any light at all, anytime, during 12hr lights-out and they're totally f*****d" to "no probs, an occasional flash of light is ok" and even " you can go in there with a torch in an emergency" this from a grow shop owner. so please!! what's the royal scam?

just wondering what most people's tap water is like for hydro growing my tap water is .9 on my TDS meter which i think is 900ppm, I grow at around 2.2 - 2.4 which is only 1.3 - 1.5 real nutes the rest is crud in the water, The thing is my last crop leaves a salty taste in my mouth, so its probaly not flushed properly using the .9 tap water, I'll have plenty rain water for the next crop thanks to the recent rains, Rain water comes up at 0.1 on my TDS meter, which should make the next crop better.

I was wondering if you guys have an emergency response policy in place? I think it is very important to have a system implemeted in case of such situations. eg: fire,flood,electrical faults,cops etc Perhaps we could all pool our ideas and come up with some good points we could add to a checklist for , in case of such situations arising we are a lil prepared. I for starters think we could have a cheap video surveilance system in place...they are available from Strathfield Car Radio for 90$, and allow you to optically monitor your room remotely. I also think a smoke sensor alarm is important. DG

Hi all, Being looking a doing a aeroponic grow to see what all the hype is about. Have usually grown in ebb/flow or bubbler bucket system. The aeroponic system will very similar to the following link:- http://www.ki7xh.com/aeroponics.htm The only differance will be that their will be 10 pipes laid flat together 1.5m long, with holes cut every 150mm to suit a SOG style of grow. Should end up with a 100 site grow table 1.5m x 1.5m - lighting will consist of a 1000watt hps air cooled light. - and resi tank will be 100 litres. Any adive growing with aeroponics over ebb/flow would be greatful. Regards Jack

i was tolded by someone who is kcnowledgible, that you can add baked beans to your nutrigents, and pack them around the stem in the last few week and it adds bulk to the overall vigoure of the vegetable matter and associated bi-product.Does anyong youse this tecnece?He said the protein is convergeted into sugars and it add a lot in over all THC glands.I always get bad and poor results, I hav emy room at 124 farenheifgt. but the oscillations of the fan seem to be out of sink with the duckthing, causeing negative bio feedbak from the anti gravity distortian module in my ballash.

I want to change the way I grow. I want 9 smaller plants under 1000watt HPS instead of 2 medium. Should I keep a mother solely for the purpose of getting the clones. I have read the you must periodically root prune the mother is this correct or will product such as Rhizotonic from canna do the same job? OR Should I just clone off the 9 smaller ones each time.I tend to cut the tops out of them anyway to create vigorous lower growth so I will have the cuttings anyway but is it advisable to take clones of a plant that has only been vegging for 1 week? Would appreciate your thoughts and advice.Thanx
