My grow room is a metre square with 1x 400w hps light. The temperature is mid 30s. The soil dries out very quickly and turns to dust within a day. Is there anything I could do to stop this or do I just have to water more frequently?

On closer inspection I've identified them as thrips. Are these worse or easier to kill. My plants are starting to look a little sorry for themselves.

I have spider mites and really need to get shut. Anyone know the best way to kill these nasty things?

Although my plants look quite healthy and are coming on nicely, the fan leaves are covered in yellow spots and it's not happened before. Anyone know what this is?

It showed flowers after about 3 weeks. There is trichomes present but nothing like the indica.

I've been growing Top44 for some years now and always get decent results. I know this is an indica. The last lot of seeds came with 5 free seeds of unknown variety so the last time I planted my T44 I also put one of these seeds in to grow. It went wild and I've had to bend it to stop it hitting...

I have 5 plants at 8 weeks flower. 4 are indica and are almost ready - the trichomes are nearly all milky. The other one is sativa and although it is well into flower there seems to be very few trichomes compared to the indica. Is this normal and will the trichs develope?

I have 4 T44 plants which are almost ready for harvest. The problem I have is that the top buds are ready - most of the trichomes are milky - but the buds underneath are nowhere near. Can I take the top buds and continue to grow the bottom ones or should I wait til they are all ready? Helpppp!!!

With string?

I was thinking that bending may be best - can anyone tell me the best way?

My plants are about 4 weeks into flower and are doing very nicely. The problem is that they have now reached the roof of my grow room and I'm not sure what to do. Do I take the tops off or bend them?

I have some lowryder growing in 6" diameter pots. My question is - are these big enough to complete the grow or will i need to go bigger?

What are the effects of overwatering. My plants are turning yellow and droopy. I bought a moisture meter and found the soil to be off the scale. Would this cause the problem?

I have 4 Lowryders at 4 weeks old. 3 are fine and healthy looking but 1 has turned yellow and droopy and isn't growing anymore. All 4 have same water, same pots, same soil and obviously the same light - 400w hps. They were all from the same supplier in the same batch. I can't understand why 3...

Thanks Little Tommy
