    newbie aussie running experiments

    Isn't it difficult to grow in Tazmania? With all the legal opium poppy farms I would've thought the authorities were watching every patch of earth to make sure that nothing illegal was planted....??? There's a YOUTUBE vid called CZECH HEROIN HOLIDAY. Walking distance from Prague there's poppy...

    HAPPY FROG - Nutrient Level for Seedlings??

    Hello I have been asked when seedlings should start receiving nutrients? They're growing in HAPPY FROG, they're very small for the few weeks they've been growing. AND they are developing RED SPOTS on the leaves and stems. The grower is having difficulty uploading photo's but will keep...

    Newbie growing

    HAPPY FROG I'm in the UK and I grow in clay pebbles (hydro) but, usually, bought soil has enough nutrients in it to ensure that the seedlings will be OK, without adding extra, for at least 2 or weeks. ADDING EXTRA CAN DO MORE HARM THAN NOT HAVING ENOUGH and it's the NUMBER ONE MISTAKE! Everyone...

    Newbie growing

    Are you wanting to start seeds or have you got a contact for cuttings? With very young seedlings/cuttings flourescents are best (6400k - BLUE). if you only have the 150 HPS to be going on with, you need to have a good distance between the top of the plant and the light It's too fierce to put...

    14w LED - Good For Nothing???

    On Amazon and Ebay one of the most popular 'LED GROW LIGHTS' is a 225 mini-diode, 14w unit. Yes, you read correctly. Each of the 225 diodes has a power of 0.06w. Or about 14w total But when you consider that LED's often burn at 50% capacity.... SEVEN WATTS.....??? The customers of...

    mother plants

    T5's are GREAT for Mothers Especially of they are the 6400k BLUE spectrum. Keep it close to the canopy and all should be well. If you use HID try and use MH rather than HPS the CCT is better for keeping Mothers steadily growing without sudden bursts of growth or all the FLOWERING/PRE-FLOWERING...

    What Does the Future Hold for Marijuana Horticulture...???

    Same in UK We'd get HPS, MH and/or Mercury Vapours from car parks or shop frontages We knew the difference between the MH/Merc V - SPRINGTIME BLUE and The HPS - AUTUMN RED But the idea of lamps specifically made for horticulture was not in our knowledge. This was about '88 - '90 By '93 a few...

    6x 6.5 litre pots for 4x4 tent??

    I have 9 x 18lt square pots in my 4 x 4 tent. A little pruning and it's all good. If you're growing in soil remember to transplant to bigger pots graduallyor the root mass will be all sides and no centre. If you're in some medium using Hydro then straight to big pots is OK, Keep us informed...

    01/01/14 - Day ONE of FLOWER - HOW I TOOK CUTTINGS...

    Today I took 24 cuttings from the 8 best (of my 9) plants. The 9 plants are on DAY 48 of VEG and average out at 22" high with plenty side branches and bushiness. I would have changed them to 12/12 a week ago but I needed to take cuttings before going onto FLOWER and I couldn't take cuttings...

    What Does the Future Hold for Marijuana Horticulture...???

    Tolerating cannabis use under MEDICAL RESTRICTIONS worries me. Marijuana needs to be NORMALISED not MEDICALISED. LED's ARE the future - NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. It's just the timescale that's unsure. WHAT DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT LEP's?

    6x 6.5 litre pots for 4x4 tent??

    I have a WILMA 20 (20 X 6.5lt Pots) and a WILMA BIG 9 (9 x 18lt Pots). Both of these Wilma Models have the exact same size reservoirs - which are designed to fit snuggly into a 4 x 4 tent. Why have just 6 x 6.5's when you can easily fit 20 in there.... Or even 9 x 18lts....? 6 small pots in a...

    What Does the Future Hold for Marijuana Horticulture...???

    In 2013 I returned to an old dream of growing after an absence of 17 years. Back in 1996 I had built and equipped a grow room, but pressure from an extremely law abiding girlfriend had persuaded me not to start. Back then the lights were usually stolen from carparks and warehouses. They were...

    measurement advise needed.

    With all those limitations you need to use the closet as a single grow space and do it all there. It's simply not big enough to have as a two area.
