    Over or Under nute??

    Hi. Not too sure about this. Plant is SLH 3/4 weeks flowering under 600w HPS, soil grow. Leaves on top of plant are starting to "claw". I've read up on this and believe it is caused by too much nitrogen, so i've flushed it and wont add nutes for another week or 2. However, bottom of plant...

    Burn or Defi or root problems???

    I'm going to buy some plain bottled water this morning. Plants have been in a flushing solution for 36hrs. Going to raise EC to 2 and see what happens. I'm struggling to find distilled water anywhere, only place i can get it sells it in 500ml containers, i need 20L!!

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    Leaves rolled down

    low humidity and high temps. I did have a lot of issues with temperatures getting far too high. I've sorted it out now, and rarely do the temps exceed 31oC, humidity is pretty low, about 30-40%

    Leaves rolled down

    Thanks, Definitely not overwatered. I've run it pretty dry a couple of times, to the point that the leaves are all drooping badly. Once watered, they stop drooping, but the roll still remains. I'll try not fertilizing for a couple of weeks and see what happens. The plants are generally quite ok...

    Leaves rolled down

    Hi, This is an unknown strain. It's under 600w HPS, grow room temps 25-30oC I treat these two plants exactly the same as my other two (white widow) which are happy. The leaves have been like this for a good few weeks. I've tried more nutes, and less nutes. I've watered them loads, and i've let...

    Heat stress i think. Recovery?

    Hi. Got some pretty unhappy plants at the mo. They are 7 weeks flowering, White Widow. Had a problem with spider mites, but under control now. Was also struggling with grow-room temps. I was hitting 35-36 oC (96oF) at times. Again, this should be sorted. I've insulated the room from the heat...

    CFL bulbs watts????

    For 2 plants, i'd go for either 1x 250w or 2x 125w. For Vegging use a 6500K bulb (blue light / daylight) on 18hrs, then switch to a 2500k bulb for flowering (yellow/orange light) for 12/12. Personally, i veg with CFL, then switch to HPS for flowering. A 250w hps is far superior to 250w CFL...

    DIY Aeroponics - First Attempt

    Ok, so i've been experimenting this week. I was happy with the low pressure aeroponics system that i just built, it works fine, but i'm now experimenting further. I had a little fogger arrive in the post last week, so i've swapped the sprayers for a fogger. The system is now a hybrid...

    DIY Aeroponics - First Attempt

    Yes, i agree. I too am thinking that. This system, and most of the other systems i've seen should really be called "Splatter-ponics", a low pressure pump will struggle to give a good spray let alone a mist. The droplet size from a cheap low pressure pump (the maxi-jet 500 provides about 10psi)...

    DIY Aeroponic Timer - 555 circuit

    Monitoring from my iphone. Please don't suggest things like that! I won't be able to sleep until i've worked out how to do it!! haha Yes i agree, the relay ON for the longer period is a bit silly. However, just today i got a delivery of a little fogger, and i've already made some changes. I'll...
