Doing electrical works is a risky business, at some point you will probably be tampering with the main circuits, Although in essence it's all simple circuits and wiring without a socket tester how do you actually know every wire you put in is ok? Your things may still turn on but they could have...

You've got an easy job there to be honest. You just need to get yourself some myler or tapolin or any plastic sheeting really, thicker the better and myler is easier because one side is relective one side is black, so saves you adding a reflective layer. if it was me I'd go for the proper grow...

From my recent experience with this I totally agree, I had my cooltube about 4" away but I found myself rotating the plants daily to keep growth even. I moved it to about 12" away and they are all flourishing, even though I could hold my hand under the light and it didn't feel hot it seems the...

If you flush you will normally see the leaves yellow at the end of the grow. The plant puts the nutrients into the buds at the end and leaves second, so it's just like using up the nutes you already put into the leaves for the buds and it auto trims its self a bit :D It can help flavor and smell...

Nice bit of DIY there. I like it. Could do with brightening up those walls, could get yourself some mylar or emergency blankets. Anything besides dark tarp! The reflective material helps cut down light leaks too.

It's possible you could get an electrician out to change the fuse box, however he may refuse if the wiring in the building is too old, it will require a rewire if this is the case. In short it is not a cheap job at all. You can not carry out any work like this yourself, it isn't simple and if...

My plants have turned purple from the cold, so I'll tell you my setup/timescale. The plants are at about 65 during the lights on and 58-65 during night cycle. They started to purple after about 4 weeks being in these conditions. however it does depend on the strain, as the other strain I am...

I've been using biobizz grow/bloom/topmax so a little different. http://www.theinnergarden.co.uk/images/growschedules/BIOBIZZ-Schedule.jpg I have been using about half of the light mix, growing in my own mix of soil and vermiculite. I found that using the full dose is too strong, one plant has...

Dude, that many CFL's will be over 620 watts, yes it will work fine but you would get much better results using a 600w HPS you'll save on electricity, and the light doesn't need to be positioned around because you will have considerably more light penetration. I don't think it's the best...

Yeah you can top them, it has to be early though, I think I did it around 2.5 weeks. The plant then split into 4 amazing colas it was something special. However when I did it I was just experimenting and I must say the quality was lower on the topped plant, yield was slightly higher...

Haha, well there's more explanations in F than there is in C so it's easier to work the room in that. To be quite honest I don't know what temp it is, I work in C so to me it's just a number I try to get as close to as possible.

Here's how I made my fan shut up! Once I did this my only problem was the sound of air going through the ducting and the oscillating fan (noisy bastard!) It's mounted to a wooden frame with rubber washers to help with the vibration, then it's basically completely surrounded with rock wool...

So here is the room, Thought I would share it with you all. So you can see 4 are up (1 week old) and 6 are tiny seedlings (2 days Old) , I might be getting some cuttings soon to add to the party. Little yellowed, I tried a different soil mix and they showed deficiency at 1 week! Got the...

You can circulate the air inside the room though a carbon filter. Does not need to be ventilated out. However doing this means that you lose "negative pressure" which is one of the most important things about oder control. (negative pressure is basically where the fan is sucking out so much air...

Ok so I have a 600watt HPS cooltube with carbon filter and fan all on the same line. If anyones is interested I can give more info on the gear. Anyway does this kind of method work? What I am planning is to grow 12/12 from seed so I never need to change the lights. I hope to be able grow 9...

So I'm back with vengeance for another 12/12 from seed Set up is a 600w HPS With cool tube setup Soil with coco Got 1.4m of headheight so need to keep them low. 4 Amnesia Haze are about 2" after a few days 6 unknown have grown before and seemed genetically small had a cheesey sick type smell...

is this the sort of thing you mean? 1,700 lumens @ 26 watts = 52.17 lumens per watt. 3,000 lumens @ 40 watts = 75 lumens per watt. 9,200 lumens @ 150 watts = 61.33 lumens per watt. So basically the higher wattage each bulb is until 40 watts the better for getting the most out of cfl's To...

Ok I see, it's a good size but there doesn't seem to be enough light down at the bottom there. or is that just the camera. Yyou need to get CFL's close within 3 inches of all the plant not just the top of it.

Don't worry, I think I made the same post on my first grow. It's probably not an ideal environment which is why they won't have shown at the 3 week mark people talking about in 12/12 from seed. My advice would be to stop looking for a week or two. You'll know about it once it starts properly...

Those bulbs are a bit expensive, maybe get one for round 2 ;) Those reflectors sound better. Cooltubes looked like it might restrict light. Planning to grow in canna coco, then fitting a waterbutt with an irrigation system and a timer. Will get some pictures once it's further along...
