Hey guys, Just a quick question, i have 3 mothers growing, and they will be supplying about 80-90 clones next week. This will cause them to get cut back quite severely, but i want to keep the girls going after that, will this high level of chopping stress them out enough to turn hermie? A pic...

Hey guys, Just want to clarify something, so please feel free to concur or correct. I am changing over to rockwool slab growing from coco where i used Canna Coco A+B, and in my mind, hydro is hydro, both sterile mediums, so the nutes shouldn't have to change, right? Or am i wrong? Or maybe...

Hey guys, I am trying something new, a vertical grow. Now i noticed you guys class vertical as bare bulb or cool tube around plants growing either normally or LST'd, but i will be using rockwool slabs (designed for vertical use) to grow the plants...well, horizontally haha. Details of my setup...

Hey guys. Some of you may remember me when i first started out, my first grow journal and all the problems/mistakes i encountered. I have learned a fair bit since then! Check out my sig to catch up if you didn't see that. So anyway, here i am, on grow #3 and i am stepping up since grow #2 was...

Ok apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but we all know how bad the search option is on these forums :) So it is summer (boo) and grow rooms start to get warmer. The problem i have is i am now pumping warmer than normal air into my res tank, which of course warms the soup to the same...

I know there is another thread about this open but people have gone off topic and i would like some sensible replies. What do you guys who use tap water do? Take away the base EC of your tap water or take the value of water EC + nute EC to get your total? I have been doing the latter but i am...

Hey guys. I have 5 plants, 4 seem pretty healthy, they are about 2 weeks from seedlings, and one of them has become a bit gimped. First 4 plants look ok but the fifth, well, you can see. Last week this one had one large leaf and one small leaf on the top, and generally looked like the...

The EC meter i bought isnt displaying what i told it was displaying. It shows it in microsemens but only to 3 digits, with no decimal places. It is an HM Digital http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/categories/PH-&-Nutrient-Control/PH-&-EC-Control/HM-Digital-EC-Meter/ and the store said it...

I have accepted the fact that spiders love my house, and i dont mind them. However, i found this baby in my tent tonight. Now i dont know much about spiders, other than they eat bugs, which is fine by me, but this one looks...well, pregnant lol. Should i remove her from my tent? I had a...

OK guys something has gone wrong and i need some advice. Last week i came home after working away to find my auto watering system failed and the pots were dry and my girls looked very sad. They were curling slightly and looked a touch yellow, but i gave them a good soak and by sunday night...

For those of you who havent seen my previous posts or journal, hi, i am Green Troll, and i am green in more than one way ;) I have started my very first grow from seed, and while my little babies grow, i have been doing some rather solid research in various methods of growing. Mainly looking at...

While researching using YouTube, i watched a video of a busted grow house and i noticed something i havent seen before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVBR5EPsiiI At 1:08, you see Coke cans hanging underneath a carbon filter. Does anyone know what this is for? I would love to know if this is...

OK so currently i am doing my first ever grow with coco, and i am looking for a more automated system. I work away a lot, so i rely on automated watering systems, my timers and lady luck to let my girls grow. But i know hydro/aero is the way to go. Can someone give me some advice on something i...

OK so i have a question before i start ordering stuff. Currently i have a 1200x1200mm tent, and the intention was to use this as a veg tent and get a larger tent for flowering. However, you dont get to see how bloody huge 1200x1200 is until the monster is set up in your room. It hasnt left much...

Might be a silly question but does this work? I understand the other way around will blow the bulb but under powering a 600w bulb, will it glow like a 400w? Or would it just sit and blink because it isnt getting enough power? It is just i am getting a 600w light soon, and i will only need a 400w...

Greetings to all. I have decided to write a journal so you can all see my progress and my methods, and hopefully warn me if i am doing anything wrong or if there is a better way of doing it. Currently i have 1 tent set up, a 4'x4'x6' Secret Jardin with a 400W MH and a 5" fan/filter. I am going...

Ok so i scrapped the idea of building my own grow box and opted for a tent. I am glad i did. In minutes it was built, installed the light (mistake, install filter first next time, the light gets in your way) and i installed the duct. Hooked one end to the fan, was a snug fit but perfect, pulled...

Hi guys, I have had a look around the internet, had a search on the forums but i cannot find anything UK specific for the best soil money can buy. I want my girls to be growing in the best possible medium to give them the best chance. Also i cant exactly pop the question in the local garden...

Hi guys. Just wanted to get some ideas/comments/advice on my plans. This is the planned set up. Internal box dimensions, W1000mm x D1000mm x H2050mm in each box, 2 boxes side by side made from 2x2 planed timber and 9mm MDF (changed from 18mm ply to give better quality surface and its cheaper)...
