    How much do oil filled heaters cost to run?

    Just so you know Screwfix do a 500w oil rad for £19.99. I am quite lucky living in the far SW of England, our day time temps don't go below 10℃ very often, so my tent temps are fine during lights out. The lights keep things nice during lights on.

    How much do oil filled heaters cost to run?

    I have one on a smart switch so I can control the timings with Google Assistant, it's only 80w and warms up under the canopy nicely.

    How much do oil filled heaters cost to run?

    That isn't too bad really. I was considering a 500w one from Screwfix.

    The UK Growers Thread!

    I am considering buying some SS2 as it has a special place in my heart.:D I have been looking for an all day smoke that I run over and over again from cuttings, this may well be the one.

    I am relatively limited on space and still wouldn't consider doing that.

    The UK Growers Thread!

    Shiva Shanti II was the first weed I ever grew. I actually went to the Sensi Seed shop in Amsterdam to get it. IIRC one of mine threw out a lovely purple pheno. It is a shame that you can't still get it. EDIT: It turns out that they do, just not feminized. I am not sure I can go through all...

    Sup guys first grow got a defoliation question

    I am all for a bit of selective defoliation. However, that seems to be a little counterintuitive IMHO. What is the point in growing all of those leaves just to bin them and start from the beginning? Surely when you flip to 12/12 you want the plant to start work on flowering, not replacing all...

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Min light hours to stay in veg

    I know your pain. I have dropped by electricity consumption drastically by making sure the rest of the house is efficient as possible. You'd be amazed about how much you can save by defrosting a fridge or freezer. The kids leaving TVs switched on when they are not watching them. My home...

    Ok, so the Epsom Salts is a source of Magnesium. So what does the liquid soap do?

    What's wrong with the tops?

    Pretty much. I had it down as over watering as I had just potted them up into 4.5 USG pots and had given them a big soaking. The wife did some reading suggested light stress, so I lifted the lights and backed them off and they were perking back up by the end of the next 18 hour period of light.

    What's wrong with the tops?

    Looks like light stress to me, I have just had a bout of it. I, stupidly, assumed that putting the plants that were under 80w of COB lights would love being put under 600w of Quantum Board lights at 30 cm distance. I raised them up to 45 cm and cut the power by half and after a few days they...

    Blumats. Who's using them?

    I am considering them or a SIP system. I restoring an old VW Camper and would like to go away in it when it is finished. No major trips, just long weekends. I hand water at the moment, but once Covid has died down and we can travel properly again I would like some flexibility. I have a spare...

    What Strains Are You Growing?

    3 x North Thunderfuck by RQS, 3 x Honey Cream by RQS, 1 x Big Bud by Sensi Seeds, 1 x OG Kush by White Label, 1 x Sensi Amnesia by Sensi Seeds and 3 x Critical by RQS, 2 x Bruce Banner #3. They are all in various states of veg and the Bruce Banners are rooting clones. I am planning on flipping...

    How much longer?

    I wouldn't like to say how much longer they'll be, but it's a while yet.

    Pot Size Difference?

    I was using 3 US gallon pots and now I am using 4.5 US gallon pots. The difference is obvious.

    I have no idea. It's just what I notice.
