    Peat Pots?

    Nice way of putting it :-) I've changed over to Jiffy plugs now for cuttings .......... 10p each (UK), you just soak them until they fully expand, squeeze out excess moisture and plant straight into the little pre-made hole in the centre!

    Clones cut from an early flowering mother plant will often show preflowers, as they mature they will quickly grow out of it.

    Drooping leaves at night?

    Bartman, one of the most common causes of nightime drooping is a big drop in temps. They wrap themselves up just as we would! :-) I see you say you are on 24/0 but how big is the drop in temps overnight? This is common in loft/attic grows for example........ even with lights on, if its cold it...

    Peat Pots?

    Agreed :-) I have noted in the past that the peat pots can still be intact even after harvest, although they will eventually completely biodegrade as you say.

    'Pick n Mix' are UK based, and can be trusted. They sell individual seeds from all the major seedbanks...... you know what you're getting because you get a portion of the original packaging if you order less than a full pack, they will of course happily sell you full packs :-) The good...

    Yellow leaves and other crap....

    wyatte, If the roots were nice and white and healthy then thats the main thing. You will not stop yellowing of older leaves once its started so you need to be looking for healthy new growth now. For comparison heres one of my plants taken at 3 weeks old, at this stage she had been fed...

    what is auto flowering

    Most auto flower grows I have seen use 18/6 start to finish! They do much better indoors in my experience on this constant 18/6 cycle.

    what is auto flowering

    'Auto flowering' means that the plant will not require the trigger of 12/12 light cycle to kick it into flowering. This means that the plant will 'automatically' move into flowering mode after a short veg period of around 3 weeks. The big advantage is that you keep them growing start to finish...

    Pick n Mix seeds...uk :-)

    I thought it might be of interest to uk members to post a link to this seed company who offer single seeds from all the major seed banks.... you can select for example a dozen different seeds if you want to try several strains. They've just celebrated thier first year in business. Its great if...

    first grow, budget grow box - grow log from zero to 420

    Excellent grow journal, like your style! :-) Would it not have been worth using a cheap wooden cabinet or something, as you are clearly taking a lot of care and attention and that would make the whole thing much 'stealthier' and more robust? Anyway, I'll be following this one. Very best of...

    Micro pc cfl ghetto bagseed grow

    Hi mate, I grew in the loft for 4 years here. I found you do need to shut down for a couple of months, July /August. I simply ran an extension from a bedroom socket neatly up through the ceiling. Main thing is not to overload, I just ran a single 600HPS on constant 12/12, plus 2 fans and it...

    BTK, Looking good there to me so far :-) I'm fascinated by these PC case grows, you could do a lot worse than to take the time to read through v12xjs' excellent thread where he grows peprtual in one of those things! You mentioned getting a PH pen earlier? Well you dont need to spend more...

    Help on growing in the UK

    The 20watt 'energy saver' is a CFL bulb so yes, great for vegging your plants. Just grab a couple and get a couple of bulbholders from a DIY shop (£1.05 each in B&Q's), metre of wire or two and a couple of £1 plugs and your away!! B*Q's also sell really cheap but reliable timers for £1 which is...
