    know of a good Ph meter?

    I bought a £10 tester from ebay and so far it's worked well, but I keep mine in a glass of water lol, someone experienced here said they last a while, you just gotta keep the cheap PH pens wet or something at the sensor, so I've followed that advice and mines has been a bargain for £10, whether...

    ready or not 1st hydro grow

    Happy grower, I have the exact same NFT system and for me, I put them in with a 1/4 nutrient solution when I had way less roots (my tap roots had just gotten through). So far I have filled my system with roots, they are into the reservoir and everything, so I'd say from my first grow experience...

    Think your Bulb Doesn't matter? Hortilux comparison blowout ! Pictures say it ALL!

    Do you guys in the USA ever use the Sun Master Dual Spectrum bulbs? By looking on the hortilux site, I can see they have an HPS at 30,500 lumens, but my SunMaster dual spectrum bulb throws out 33,000 lumens... I was wondering mainly because I had to check out the bulbs, those comparison pics...

    Yeah I read an excellent post a few weeks back about "finishing off," I need to search and find it, was about getting the max yield and waiting until the plants use up their stored energy etc, was really good post. Thats how I wish to do mine, right to the end, only a small 250hps light makes...

    250watt mh or t5?

    Yeah a 250hps produces very little heat to be honest mate, I grow with one and yes if the plants get too close obviously, but using common sense and light spectrum charts, the heat wont be an issue at all really. Still, the T5's are interesting as well, maybe see what some more experienced...

    Save money fellow growers

    ah right ok I get ya now! darn, maybe buying a new HPS ballast might be the better option in the long run then matey?

    250watt mh or t5?

    The HPS dual spectrum bulbs cover both though, for a budget "does all wonder," this covers the bases better? You can veg half decently with it then flower with it, thats better than the MH which yes, will do an excellent job in veg but when it comes to flowering loses out large in comparison...

    Hey man how goes? I'm meant to be done on 23rd june or something, my auto hazes were F2's from the tude and aonly meant to take 60 days from seed, but damn, I'm gonna wait and see how they are in a week and a half, should give me an accurate time frame. Some of my pistils already turning...

    250watt mh or t5?

    how about 250w HPS? would be better than a MH for the flower stage and also do a decent enough veg stage compared to both the above? get the dual spectrum bulb.

    Save money fellow growers

    i thought this was common knowledge? I knew this from day1 when I bought my kit i could put a 250 mh into my 250 lighting kit.... same connection. same wattage. good news for anyone that didn't know but seriously, I thought this was common knowledge. no offence intended etc though mate.

    Help! My Buds seem Small?

    sometimes they take a good few weeks to swell out from what I have seen with other grows. Another grower I know, his buds took a good few weeks then they just exploded and got huge. Just flower them until they are ready, often strains can go a good 3 weeks or something over what the seedbank...

    I bent my auto hazes out from the light a bit today, some leaves were curling right up due to the heat etc. Used some twine and gotan extra 2 - 3 inches away from the light. My plants have stopped stretching thankfully, my buds are hopefully gonna swell right up soon. Tried to get some...

    Odour Control

    carbon filter all the way, I cannot recommend this more highly. Thats if you have the cash spare though, otherwise hit up the DIY forum area, those guys are good at making cost effective hardware. However, I'd like to stress how good carbon filters are with fans. I plug mine directly into my...
