I'm impressed!

I think the clue is in the title. 1000W that is 18 kilowatt hours a day. I pay 9.17p per kilowatt hour here in the uk which translates to 18 * 0.0917 = £1.65 ($2.48 ) / day during an 18 hour vegetative cycle. This is using the nominal rating for the bulb, it'll actually use more, but how much...

It'll take a long time for the fruit to degrade enough to be of use to the plant. Meanwhile, with all the sugar in the soil you'll be encouraging fungal/bacterial growth and risking mold/infection. So in short, no you cannot just mash it up in there. Stick it in the compost for a few years...

Ditto. Thank you.

50% soil, 25% vermiculite, 25% perlite. The latter 2 ingredients will costs you less weight for weight than good soil. If it is your first grow stick to soil, it's all too easy to go wrong with aero and hydro if you don't know what you're doing. Plus you'll have to fork out for EC meters, PPM...

Hours a day * days in the week * power of lights = kwh used a week 18 * 7 * .6 = 75.6 kwh used * price of kwh = electricity bill a week 75.6 * .0917 = £6.93 I pay 9.17p per kilowatt hour. This bit of maths uses the nominal rating of your light; it will use more but how much more depends...

TY Fyfe. I wish I had started a week earlier; relatives can be such a strain on ones nerves.

I don't live in the US so I don't know what they have available in those stores; avoid miracle grow though, it's very easy to nutrient burn your seedlings with it. CO2 is important but providing you have a decent ventilation you won't need to add any fancy machine too churn it out. Unless you...

A small amount yes but they're not much use for anything other than for hash. It is the females you're after. :)

In the UK midlands it is generally £130 oz, £70 1/2 oz and between £20-25 1/8 oz (which often is under). Too much money in other words hence the growth for percy :).

Eak, that reminds me of when mine should be done. Doesn't look like they'll be dry in time for new years, let alone xmas. Anyone have any tips for quick drying a small portion of it?

On the link you gave it has the technical specs sheet right next to the overview. It gives the noise level in "sones" (1.4) which I found rather confusing as I'm used to working in dB. After a quick look on wiki apparently normal talking, 1 m distant is between 1-4 sones which that seems pretty...

At least 1 month old though I recommend 2. If you clone them when the mother is more mature you can flower once they've rooted. Make sure you clone them before you put them into flower, i.e., whilst they are vegging. Never remove more than 1/3 of the branches at any one time.

I have seen some quite reasonable results from 12/12 from seed. For the record, next time don't plant more than 1 in a pot unless you're going to separate the roots with something. Roots getting tangled can cause all sorts of problems and can make removing after sexing rather difficult. Happy...

I had one of these and jumped to the same conclusion. More branches more bud; it seems intuitive. Well anyway, when I asked around on here the responses I got were that they weren't worth growing because they'll produce very leafy bud. I continued to grow mine anyway because I had the space but...

No idea but how haven't you been busted? I mean, I cannot imagine what the electricity peak would look like.

Laffman is giving you sage advice. By watering all the container it will encourage the roots to spread out to fill their container. I'd personally lay off the nutes until quite a bit later; say about a month unless it is showing a deficiency. Nutrient burn is all too common amongst first time...

HPS doesn't have to be expensive. A lot of people have had a good deal of success with this 150W HPS. At $20 for 15000 lumens, you'd be hard pressed to find that many lumens for your buck with CFL. For some reason this link won't work if I paste it whole (it's too long). So just cut and...

Ethinylestradiol (the birth control pill) is 35-50% responsible for changing the sex of fresh water fish. It isn't biodegradable and is having a huge effect on fish populations. Besides, I cannot see how this would help the plant as it is too big a molecule to be taken up by the roots.

I'm impressed with the results with 12/12 CFL. Nice first grow. +rep
