    Which grow box to buy?

    To be honest mate, this looks pretty damn good, especially if there is no light leaks, thats a huge problem for most cabinets. No light leaks = no smell :-P I was really keen on getting something similar myself except it was 5k and leaked light in every direction. I would definately go for...

    Which grow box to buy?

    I'm not sure on the fox farm soil, we don't have that in New Zealand. Would you be interested in mixing your own soil? It's been a while since I've had to do it myself so it will take a bit of thinking to rack by brain as to the quantities of each part. From memory it involves mixing peat...

    400w to 600w HPS Scrog grow

    So after 2 days the nutrient solution hasn't remained all that stable, it's ok but some change has taken place. It started at 6.5ph and 1860ppm, checking it today it was 6.2ph and 1680 ppm, the complete opposite to the issue I had with my DWC grows, they would raise in both ph and ppm. To be...

    400w to 600w HPS Scrog grow

    Set up my water system to do a test run today. I have a 100ltr (25gal, approx) drum, two small fish tank pumps, one to circulate and the other to do the watering. The pump run uses a garden hose and homemade dripper to deliver the nutrients. The pump delivers 2.2 litre per minute to the plants...

    pound a month????

    Insulation (expensive) or winter growing are your only answers :sad: No amount of air extraction under a tin roof will reduce that kind of heat, especially with lights.

    400w to 600w HPS Scrog grow

    I think I know what you mean now. In the pics, under the screen looks dark and the leaves look real unhealthy compared to the the top new growth. Actually it's still relatively light under the screen, not good for NEW growth though. The leaves are looking pretty good, very dark green (getting...

    400w to 600w HPS Scrog grow

    Cheers for the input purple. I'm hearing what ya saying, what I'm following for this grow is gut instinct and luck. Trying things I have meant to do before but found too many reasons not too. I have chopped all the nodes that didn't make the screen but have left healthy fan leaves as I am...

    400w to 600w HPS Scrog grow

    I am still feeding at every water, running 1980 yesterday for the AK and 1680 for the g13. The AK is really taking off now! The G13 lagging a bit but it was put into the room a few days after the AK. Both plants leaf colour look equally lush and dark green. Thanks so much for your kind feedback...

    Which grow box to buy?

    Looks like a great kit. Will definately need a decent scrubber and maybe bump up the extractor fan. 600w with an experienced grow in that tent = 1p plus :weed:

    Which grow box to buy?

    I really think you should get into grow room design and build, If nothing else you would learn how hard it is to run a business and as to why people charge what they do. There are a lot of people who don't have the time, skill or patience to do what you say you can do. I'm pretty handy, but I...

    400w to 600w HPS Scrog grow

    Did my first chop under the screen yesterday, cut all apart from the healthy fan leaves, I figure they can still benefit the plant till they yellow and die. The feed today had the AK running 1900ppm and the G13 1680, up a little for the G13. Regards the fan, I havent seen any problems...

    400w to 600w HPS Scrog grow

    The AK is looking a lot darker in colour, they both look very similar now. Seems the AK is more than capable of utilizing a lot more nutrients than the G13. Running close to 1900ppm for the AK and 1400ppm for the G13. Both could handle more, playing it safe on this run though. Both had a...

    pound a month????

    A word of warning mate. ALWAYS worry about the smell, you just dont know when someone could knock on your door for something completely unrelated (I know of several people caught this way). Make sure no one ever knows, sees or smells your grow. Your asking for trouble if you cheat this rule ;-)

    pound a month????

    I used to have a perpetual grow, Only ran for just over 6 months, got through 3 crops and had to pull the last before end in a bit of a police scare. It takes time to get the whole thing rolling hence only 3 grows. I ran 1 x 600w digital in a 4 x 4 x 6 (l x w x h) tent, harvesting two plants...

    Which grow box to buy?

    If it's the whole package 2k is reasonable for a decent setup. I would definately go soil for your first few grows, yes hydro can be easy but soil is more forgiving. Get GOOD soil, spend the money on high quality NON fertilized free draining soil, DO IT :evil:. The reason for this will become...
