    How important is PH of soil and water???

    That is what I do. It gets used as a mulch in our garden. If I have too much then it goes in the garden waste compost bin and gets taken by the local Council.

    How important is PH of soil and water???

    I have never tested it.

    No. Firstly you don't have to connect them to Alexa or Google. They run on an app called Ewe-link, which you can connect to Google or Amazon if you wish. If you don't want to use that app you can run them locally, using open source projects like Home Assistant or OpenHAB. At the moment I am...

    LED light , Veg+Bloom vs Bloom ( Flowering Indoors )-Looking for advice

    Sorry I don't post grow pics to the internet. I hope you appreciate that where I am growing Cannabis carries a penalty of up to 14 years in prison. Basically, I have two tents. My flower tent is 4'x4'x5' and I have a 2 small veg tents (4'x2'x3'). The flower tent runs 12/12 and my veg tent...

    How important is PH of soil and water???

    I used to use the peat based mix from Tomato grow bags, but more recently I have mixed my own. It is a mix of Peat, worm castings, dried seaweed, microrrhyzal fungi and vermiculite, it works very well. I know my local tap water is PH neutral and I normally only feed them anything other than...

    LED light , Veg+Bloom vs Bloom ( Flowering Indoors )-Looking for advice

    They grow perfectly. This is only during veg. During flower they get 12/12. I run them 18/6 in the summer because I am growing in a loft the day time temps get too hot to run the lights during the day.

    How important is PH of soil and water???

    I haven't PH tested since I gave up Hydro, about 16 years ago, and have had no problems because of it.

    I wish I did have the space to do that, but I don't, which is why I check daily. I thought that all Cannabis strains have the genetics to go Hermaphrodite and that it is a defence mechanism against high stresses. Last time it happened to me must have been about 15 years ago and it was caused...

    LED light , Veg+Bloom vs Bloom ( Flowering Indoors )-Looking for advice

    You can run the light 24/0 in veg. In the summer months I go 18/6, but in the cooler months I run 24/0.

    LED light , Veg+Bloom vs Bloom ( Flowering Indoors )-Looking for advice

    The timing of the light will cause them to flower, not the light spectrum.

    Thanks for the tip. I once had a entire crop ruined by a Hermie. TBH I have a detailed look of every plant every day, on the basis that it is easy to stop minor issues early on, before they become a major problem.

    That is cheap. I can get an oz for £160 if I buy in bulk, but I'd rather have my own. I have 6 French Macron seeds waiting to go on. But that won't be until the plants I have vegging go on to flower (2 x Critical, 2 x Bubblegum XL, 3 x Blue Dream, 2 x Orange Barb, 2 x Sweet Zombie, 1 x...

    Cleaning grow tent for next run

    I get what you are saying. They are £10.99 for 6 over here, that would be £22 every 8 weeks or so. That would be nearly £150 a year, aside from electrical costs, that would double my costs per year. Plus, it isn't very environmentally friendly.

    Cleaning grow tent for next run

    As my grow is in a loft I would worry about the sheer weight of it on the ceiling beams. Also, I am in the UK and weed isn't legal here. I have never had any problems with the Police, but I have had a close call. My young daughter was playing in the street and some older kids starting causing...

    Cleaning grow tent for next run

    What type of detergent do you use? I'd love to use a single bed. But unfortunately I have to grow in a loft and everything has to go through a 1.5' x 1.5' hatch.

    Cleaning grow tent for next run

    I vacuum everywhere. Then spray all the surfaces with an anti-bacterial cleaner and wipe them down with a clean damp cloth. I then dust all of the lights and fittings, then give them a wipe over with anti-bac wipes. I wash all of my pots and dish trays in dish soap and hot water. At the...

    Blue Dream Flowering time

    In my experience there is no answer to this. They take as long as they take. There are so many variables that can affect flowering time it is impossible to tell.
