Only done one grow, and even thats not complete yet, but things i've learned so far; You NEED to be able to move the lights up with growth, a few inches off the plants at the most (depending on how much heat they give off), too high, and you will get stretchy plants, with long internodal...

the leaves are gone in light stress, they'll crisp and die in my experience, but don't cut them, just leave whatever's green still there, green = photosynthesis = energy Growth recovers in about a week from that, Not so sure about water

Got hold of a couple of extra bulbs and sockets, 60 watt CFL 2700k and a 45 watt 2700k put them in at the beginning of last week and seen serious bud growth since! Unfortunately i didn't clock that the new bulbs would be just as hot as the main bulb so had them a little too close :wall: only...

redeye didn't know that about CFL's! knew i was gonna get poorer yields but setting up a cooling system for HPS was too complicated for a beginner like me ;) Will definitely get some for the next effort!

they're tied down, one on the left was 12" tall when put to flower, one on the right was 10", got both of them growing at right angles to maximize light reaching lower flowers Will try and get the $$$ together for more lighting, thought they looked very premature, and its blacked out...

First of all, let me apologize for the crappy picture angles and quality, had to get the pics on my laptop So i'm on week 6 of flowering Under 300w (Actual) CFL lamps at 6400K (know this isn't ideal but as i've said already can't afford to change the lighting and stupidly thought it wouldn't...

okay, so since i've started my grow got a bit of the gardening bug, (theres something therapeutic about tending a garden) was thinking of growing some of my own lettuce and carrots, but have loads of Coco Coir left from setting up for my girls i've only ever grown in outdoor soil in the garden...

i'll look up an ozone generator, also see if i can find a small carbon filter (its only a closet grow, 2 plants about 4 weeks into flower) and hope for an investment from the bank of mom ;) for a minuted i'd weighed up making a carbon dioxide scrubber unit (i also used to work in a dive shop...

haha tried to get a pet cat, because i've heard flowering plants can smell cat pissy, so was going to blame it on that, but was told no :( i'll just have to smoke up more often :bigjoint:my roommates never smoked in his life, he'll struggle to tell the difference xD i hope :P

This seems like a good idea, whole different world this smell stuff :P scares the hell outa me anyway haha ooo this sounds like it could be perfect! i'll ask at the storeroom if they've got any out of date ones when i'm next in the hospital, cheers!

haha no, but do a lot with barium enemas (fill the backside with a contrast material and film it with x-rays on the way out, so have access to plenty of cleaning solutions ;) ) Was thinking about soaking some silica gel packets (the little packets you get in shoes/electrical equipment to absorb...

As i mentioned like, once on rollitup i have no sense of smell which means i can't smell how strong and delicious my plants smell as i can't afford a carbon filter i was wondering if there was any way around it i work in a hospital as part of my degree so was thinking i could wipe a strong...

seeds were bought feminized, know this doesn't mean they can't be male or hermi, but i check and move any flowers that are covered by others leaves into the light, 3 times a day cycle, haven't noticed the tell tale signs of being male yet! only female flowers

Hand feels warm at top, not hot? could this be the issue? if so i'll lift the lamps, Thoughts otherwise? anything i should be doing? "where the heck do you get a 2000w cfl bulb???? check heat like was said and keep an eye open for male flowers " Came online haha, think it should be for...
