Planning ahead for hopefully some heavy buds. I have read that one of my strains tends to have large buds on small side branches and this can be problematic. I have heard of people "stringing up" their buds to stop stems snapping etc. How do you do this exactly? What do you tie them *to*? I...

Yeah just I knock the power down a little during the day so it's less audible. Still running and creating negative air pressure, just not on full power like at night.

PS why anyone would run an air cleaner only from 5pm to 5am is a mystery ;)

Yeah my fan is obviously a lot poorer quality than yours. WIthout two double comforters and a couple of large towels tightly bound round it, it sounds like a jet taking off even at half speed (I of course have it on full speed at the moment). Combined with the two fans inside the tent it's a...

Thanks for all the helpful replies folks. GrowinDad, I fear a fan like that would produce more noise than is "permissable" - my neighbor has a bedroom window very near the open window to my grow room. Hence my pain at having to shell out so much - silent running fans are expensive! Nullis, I...

I haven't found nutes to be cheap, but as someone tells me in another thread, I shouldn't have bought the PK and flower boost nutes that I have shelled out good money for :( I also haven't found fans to be cheap. I'm looking at over $200 USD for a fan :S It has to be quiet, more powerful...

I should also point out that noise is a big issue. Last night I could hear the little clip fan through the ceiling, making a rumbling noise. I'm going to try and lift the tent up onto some celotex today to try and knock the noise down a bit.

Thanks folks. I do have an exhaust fan, but its both weak and noisy! Buying a better one costs the same as an oz, so it pains me to have to do so! Oh and it's a 120cm square x 2m tall tent.

Hi all Having problems with heat in my tent since switching to 12/12 and moving up to a 600W sodium bulb. Temperatures are running at 87-90 F (31-33 C) at the hottest time. I would like to have them on from 9pm but due to kids being around I have to do the watering and pumping out at 5pm...

OK, thanks, that's a good concise answer :) You live you learn, I have all the boosters now, I spose I might as well use them. I just have to figure out the best way for my autos (the photos I know what I'm doing with). Next time I will know better and will stick with my a&b. I'm thinking...

Lovely looking buds but again...."after the flip".....!!! I thought that posting in the autoflowering strains section meant I would avoid the problem of people not bothering to read the post properly before posting and giving advice that pertains solely to photoperiod strains.... /edit sorry...

Also, are you suggesting that I should *just* use base nutes during flowering, canna a&b, no boost, no PK?

My goodness! No, I paid nowhere *near* that amount. Less than half that, and got a bottle of their Flower Burst thrown in for free. So, no, I wasn't ripped off, but if you are buying yours from that hydro shop then it seems you are! I figure it does the same job as the Canna PK 13/14 and is...

I'm using Canna Coco base nutes so there is no bloom feed as such, just boosters to be added. I am (or rather, will be,) using Buddha's Tree PK 9/18 and Buddha's Tree Meta Boost. So you are saying watch for signs of P / K deficiency and add the PK booster then?

Thanks. I'm using meta boost and a flowering stimulator at the moment but they are still growing (I hope they stop soon or I will run out of room!). The meta boost states to use in week 1 then again from week 4 til the end. Given the autos have a short flowering period I guess I should only...

I can't seem to find any definitive feed schedule for autos. I am growing a couple in coco and flowers started showing 1-2 weeks ago. When should I add PK boost please?

I thought I had read that the heat per watt was lower with sodium, good to know.

With that in mind Don, do you say stick with MH for the first 2 weeks of flower then?

Hence the dilemma. I don't want to give up on the autos. However, my photos are massive and *will* give me more than the 20 grams or so I'm looking like gettng out of my two autos.

Presume keep tape in place permanently if they don't heal? Or give up on the branches, rip em off and wait for new growth? I'd rather not do that if I don't have to as I'm about to flip to 12/12
