I think you may be right there, Troutie. A little more vegging time, I'm just really impatient and want it flowered already lol Aye again, little sproglets problems could be to do with the soil, but then it's the same soil as the others and it's just basic cheap top soil so I dunno. Maybe I'll...

Looking forward to seeing your cardboard box man - got any pics sorted yet?

Just had a read of your hermie grow thread. Really quite interesting! I hadn't even considered that plucking the balls off would keep the plant going until harvest and then still be use- able. Well done for the documentation! :) What was the actual dry weight of the yield after all? You never...

Ok I got bored lol well you can see the little scraggly one. It actually looks better in the pic than it does for real, but you can definitely see the difference in size from the others, but you can't really make out all the yellowing. I think it's not going to last much longer and it's got...

LoL I wasn't expecting to have 4 pages here already! Can't thank you enough, Troutie and Growone for your input so far :) If I get bored later, I may take some more pics hehe

LoL there's only a few things that can make me move that fast ;) Light leaks. No. I intend to leave them be for the now. Once I've got the cables laid, I'll have to get the fans put in and so having these cracks there may be ideal for use with them. I'll will have to pick some for venting and...

I Just bought a pair of heated cables for £15 ;) Can't wait to try them out! I think I did alright (famous last words), I've seen these for sale at £30 each, new and at only half the length. These are 4m long each and I have no idea of the wattage. Thermometer with a probe is on it's...

Simple is the name of the game, growone :) I think if the temps are still too temperamental after cable installation, then I'll consider using some water.

LoL that's detention talk son! You'll be forced to sit in an empty classroom and smoke a whole ounce of red seal in half an hour and then be forced to play 5-a-side footy in the gym. In your pants! lol Yes, with the recordings. I can only do it once eBay deliveries have arrived :) I found a...

The heated cables are actually water proof as they're also used in aquariums, but I'm now in two minds about water jugs, as Troutie says, there's a lot of water in the English air anyways. Yes I'd imagined that I'd need two timers (or one more), and I'd imagined that I'd need to take some...

Aye, it's going to be a case of 'do it and see if it works', lol. My idea is to have this cable zig zagging in a kettle-element fashion along the inside base of my enclosure. Cover the cable with gravel, as stone is a good medium for storing heat, then place my modded barbeque trays over this...

lol There are some cheaper options on eBay too. I see a couple going for under a fiver. A couple of digital thermometers too for under a fiver. So I think spending ten quid on eBay could be my next step. Roll on the Giro :) lol My only concern here with these cables, it over heating my...

Cool! I look forward to hearing what your sister has to say on it :) I'm kind of thinking I won't need so many fans either. But I want to be prepared... and I haven't actually found a charger yet that I can use. I've even considered using the PCU from a PC, attached to a motherboard to get the...

Yes I think I agree with you, Troutie. I've been searching my house for a power adapter that I can mutilate. No joy... I did a battery pack though, which when tested running in series with a 9v battery, actually managed to power two 12v fans. But not fast enough and probably expensive to replace...

Firstly, I think this thread has been rudely over run by trolls and is seemingly no longer productive toward its purpose. My two cents; Yes, I know there are haters - but LED lights are the way forward. I've done a fair bit of research on this recently as I plan to switch my CFL's to LED's...

While I'm no expert here... I have been told that toward the end of flowering, the plant tends to draw the energy out of those fan leaves into the buds. But I would probably put your situation down to a nutrient deficiency as you're in a grow enclosure, I'd really only expect that outdoors where...

Looking good man! Looks like things are being tamed in your grow. I'm going to be looking at my options this week. I think you were about right guessing the age of mine, they are two weeks as of tomorrow from seed - they shot up real quick lol Actually want to ask you if you have an opinion on...

Hi Troutie! I thought you'd be interested that I've started a journal of sorts :) If you want to keep updated on my current experiment; Experimental Micro Grow CFL's - 1st time grower

Oh yeah... another concern, as seen in pic 3, I have a little bit of a light leak going on. Which I had intended to block up with some makeshift design (probably blu-tac lol). It's actually my door (which is just a piece of cellotex cut to shape with obviously not straight cuts lol). But...

Ok. So I've got my box built as you can see below, using cellotex insulation, aluminium tape and a little ingenuity. My CFL energy savers are cable-tied to barbeque foils running three from one mains timer and hoisted through a hole in the top of the box using a length of wire from the shed...
