OH and on a side note time to rework the soil moister sensing idea! Both electrodes that go into the soil just rusted to nothingness! Due to electrolysis, I think.. For my next revision i'll probs just turn them on when i need to take a reading and only take a reading once an hour instead of...

Few pic updates... one of them is growing much faster than the other.. Also i think i've was being to careful with my nutes.. I read that if you have very intense light you should up you nutes.. So i've been giving them nearly double what I was before and it's made a huge difference to their...

Topped them yesterday. MAnaged to rember to grab a quick shot of the controller as I was adding a new sensor. I've moved them to 18/6 now.. But they are still small and bushy!

Sorry i've not posted pics of the setup yet.. It's all running smooth and I don't really want to pull it all apart to take pictures.. But will do when I put my scrog net in. Some new pics.. Little bit worried about to leaning.. Also as they have been on 24/0 light they are sooo short!

I'll get some pictures taken tomorrow of the box. But for now i've taken a still from the timelapes. I've noticed that they are staying pretty short compared to other videos i've seen. Then again there is 360watt of LED in a 1.5 sqft box so maybe they don't need to grow tall to get the light...

Hey All, I thought I would post the final spec of my first grow. I imagine I'll get pictures up as soon as I work out some kind of secure way to do it. Not one to do things simply I've gone down the "lets automate and log as much as possible" route. Firstly about what I'm growing: Strain...

Wow thanks for all the replies. I've actually been experimenting. I have two seedlings and I'm time lapsing both of them. One of them i've waterd more than the other and getting some interesting results. the over watered one tends to have very steady gorwth at all times. The under watered...

I paper towel germinated the seeds. When they had roots I potted the soil, gave it a water and put the seeds in.(Seedlings popped up in about 30 hours)

I wouldn't say I soaked it. But I did water it enough to start seeing some run off at the drainage holes.

Hi all, Just started my first grow and i'm trying to workout if I need to water my seedlings. When I potted the soil (its Guanokalong Complete Mix soil) it was quite a dark colour. I've had my seedlings in for a few days and now the top seems very dry. So dry that it's a very light brown...

hey thanks for the reply. I've actually moved them about a bit. I've put the filters on the bottom. I'll need to use special shaped pots (Rectangular) as I won't have much floor space now. This gives me about 20cm distance i can play with from where I think the top of the screen will be to the...

Ok i'm going for the 360watt in a 6.26sq foot box. That would give me 57.41 watt per sq/f of LED.

I've actually been thinking about getting a 360watt LED in there (Fits, just about) as they don;'t produce as much heat can i keep them pretty close to the plant?

Hi all, I'm ganna have a little grow just for some fun. Full spec (Soil grow): x2 custom carbon filters x3 delta 100CFM fans x1 180watt LED light x1 humidity / temperature sensor x1 soil moister sensor x1 arduino for data logging (just so if anything goes wrong I can have a record) I've...
