I want to go to as many weed expo's as I can this year. I know there's one in London and Manchester, but not where or when... Do you know when and where there's a weed expo anytime this year *please*? I'd also be glad of any comments good or bad about each venue. Many thanks I...

I found out from another place - the live is the centre pin - neutral is outside ...

Hi Guys, I have a 400W Electromagnetic Ballast - I have never had one of these before, having only ever had Digital Ballasts. I don't know how to wire this properly - can you help, please? Pretty much, the problem is straight-forward. I have a Live and Neutral to the lamp. Does the...

Thank you everybody for your time and words of advice - I appreciate it.

Due to unexpected events I don't have any bud left. How soon can I go into flower, I have a good setup - 1m2 closet, 600w dual spec HID and great ventilation. Temps are spot-on and stable and humidity is normal. My babies have been vegging for 5 weeks now, but they were stressed about 2...

Did you clone your broken branches straight away? If it's not too long ago, do so. My plants have had the occasional catastrophe and all turned out reasonably well. Don't stress just yet, carry on as normal, but be aware your plants might take a few days to recover and heal the damage, the...

I've been trying to research making a light-proof reflective cloth, but have run into difficulties. I thought about making a sandwich of reflective white/silver mylar and a large roll of cloth, and maybe putting a middle sandwich of quilt padding - but I can't get how to glue/weld the lot...

I don't dispute that CO2 enrichment can help a plants growth, but no-one has said if it helps to create more trichomes. Adding extra weight is all right, if you want to sell your plants by weight - but for those that don't it would seem to be pointless. I have used yeast/sugar CO2 enrichment...

Just for now I want to use generic fertilizer NPK 24-8-16 with micro nutes and another bottle of seaweed extract to take my seeds through to vegging stage - is there a schedule I can use to determine how much fert I need to use / litre of water (tap water ph 7) from germination to pre-flower...

I know for a fact cos it's happening to me right now - the leccy co must take 1 reading by their meter reader at least once per year by law and for pre-payment meters they must replace them no less than once per two years and no later than once per three years. vangraffe

the most important thing is to (pre)pay your bill. ***However*** what will you do when the meter man comes to read the meter - will he see/smell your grow? Also with prepay meters the company is allowed 6 months not to update your meter which means you may have up to 6 months of extra...

ditto - I am impressed!

If you won't become a sparky for fear of getting a shock, won't you risk drowning if you become a plumber? :eyesmoke: Heck, just stay in bed and claim incapacity benefit! pmsl vangraffe

I cannot thank ou enough - that's gonna get me to a great start and I'll be sure to post pics. I'm grateful for your comments on bagseed grow being more forgiving so I'm going to re-read this a few times and re-consider - I do like to walk before I run! Thanks again, bless you. vangraffe

Yes, but I will read again and again - I just needed to know where was good to buy some seeds but I have sorted that out now, thanks! :bigjoint:
