i agree that you can mess it up but then some people just just seem to mess up everything they touch , but i can honestly say i never test ph, have only bought special nutes once, dont check humidity,use good old b and q soil, no fashy lights. you have to admit its not really that hard.................is it ?

yeah i dont ever check my ph i have a 600w hps but i made the switch to coco. ( from BnQ soil ) and never looked back the improvement has been immense.

and paying for good nutes is a no brainer you get what you put in in this game man.

its not that hard your right

its cause i live on a boat................. why do you think they got your mate ? was he grassed ?
he thought it was just a random bust but after speakin to him he's says he's heard it was a guy he caught tongue wrestling his girlfriend and beat the shit out of. a couple of guys he met at court told him it was the aforementioned tongue wrestler that had grassed him. dunno for definete but seems a fairly reasonable assumption. poor cunt was less than a week from harvest on around 6 or 8 plants:wall:

same as me , he's been a bad lad in the past but i think his only drug charge was a small posession one for a bit of hash, not too sure though. i think he originally thought it was the smell that had got him nabbed, but as i said he'd heard since that he'd been grassed.

18 on 6 off to start until 12" or more tall
how often should i water just after germing.
just keep the soil moist not soaking
how long till i give nutes.
1/4 strength when you get a few leaves then 1/2 strength whena bit bigger full strength at 6 inches
how close should i have the lights?
id say 3 feet min with a six watt maybe more for seedlings. Get a low watt flouresent for the first month much cheaper to run.

its a shed grow... How could i keep it warm at night.
a heater or run your lights at night and have them off in the day but youd still need a heater in low at the moment

how to control the humidity.
extraction fan


just general help!

Safe.

big rule, if its in your shed dont tell anyone otherwise someone might pop round in the night and harvest it for you

yeah kinda feels like a grass if u know what i mean. sheepy, i would say try and get a couple of cfls on ur seedlings, the mh is too warm for them so it gaunna have to be positioned too far away too avoid burning them thereby making them stretch too quick resulting in lil skinny stalks. u can leave the light on 24/0 unless uve got electricity concerns(cash) if so then put 18/6. after a couple of weeks u can use ur mh lights without any probs (imo). dunno about ur nutes coz i grow in soil which alreadys has nutes, i never fed mine for 4/5 weeks. as for watering i only watered evry cpl of days but i used a propagator for mine and i misted the inside of it to keep humidity high.if u dont have a propagator maybe cut a coke/ juice bottle in half and put it over ur baby. it works well.

i used to have to run a fan heater all night every night last winter, had them in a cupboard on an outside wall with a shed against it, was like a freezer, really stunted some.

Oh and insulate that roof it looks a bit unusual for snow to melt on a shed in the winter. Its a give away if your neighbours are nosey.

thats the shed

i have changed it since.

i have polythene sheeted the floor and the roof to prevent bugs coming in.

i have 2 lights both 600 watt MH

added a 10x10cm fan which doesnt just move air it sucks air in then blows out (not like a office fan) and then a small 10x10cm grilled hole to allow air to leave.

dont have them plants anymore or that nute.

seem ok? thanks for the reply its highly apprciated been trying to get a straight answer for weeks now :)
