Hey folks, Well, like an idiot I went a bit overboard on my watering a few hours ago. Was a bit unsteady :eyesmoke::clap: I think I drenched my soil, so I upped the air flow to try and speed up the soil drying, but it's not happening. I carefully flipped my plant upside down and and managed...

I put together a small oldies playlist of what I consider some beautiful and often overlooked motown, doowop, rocksteady, blues, soft rock and smooth soul goodies from a time lost era when, I believe, music was truly golden. Definitely not for everyone, but hey, someone might enjoy these. I have...

Hi folks, I've grown mushrooms on and off for the past few years, started growing them as young as 16, took a break for a few years and got into it again - I'm now in my mid 20's. I've always been awed by life, and the natural world. Mainly that of animals and plants. The earthly and spiritual...

Hey folks, Quick question. My plant is approx 2" beneath a 96w T5 light. If I place my hand level with the top of my plant, I can feel a slight warmth from the heat of the bulbs. So my question is; How do plants translate this heat? Is heat which is 'warm' to the human hand magnified and...

Note: I think I identified these spiders while writing this (thank you Google image search), but I'll leave the post here in case anyone wants to contribute or discuss this further. Seems I have some jumping spiders making a home around my plant. I've read various things, and concluded that...

Hi folks, I have some experience with "mycology", and have successfully grown all sorts of mushrooms (standard and magic!) in the past with relative ease. You don't need much in the way of equipment to grow 'shrooms, and they're ready to harvest fairly quickly, so that's handy. I recently...

Hey all, A bit of digging around the forum shows many growers are satisfied with T5 grow lights. I'm upgrading my budget/ghetto lights and I'm thinking of grabbing a T5 for myself, but as usual, there are quite a few models and specs out there. I'm specifically looking at this one...

Hey all, My seedling is about a week old. Despite a promising start, it now seems that only the stem wants to grow. The initial 4 leafs are open, with the rounded leafs being larger than the pointy leafs. The pointy leafs don't seem to want to grow any more. the stem is currently 6cm tall, give...

Hi all, I have a seedling which I've germinated in the past week. It's currently about 2 inches high and just beginning to open the initial 4 small leafs. During germination and for the first couple of days after the seedling started poking through the soil, I had it kept in a gently heated...

Hey all, Been looking into alternatives to the grow cube I'm building and found this: http://www.gardenessentials.co.uk/products/19G139__Garland_Grow_Light_Garden Based on the reviews, it's cheap to run and does the trick, at least in the salad growing department - But does it have the power...

Hey folks, I think I want to embark on my first grow, and I'll be keeping it simple and discreet with 1-2 plants to test the water. I have pretty much everything ready to go, except I'm struggling with picking a grow light. I've read a lot of the light discussions here on Rollitup and decided...

Just checking in :-). I've been lurking for a while, enjoying the grow diaries and soaking up the wealth of knowledge on offer which has been so generously shared by the community. Truly inspiring stuff - I may just have to give it a go myself! And with that, I'm off to lurk and learn some more...
