    Expert needed to answer this question.

    The Irish Growers Thread!

    Hi Luciferateme, I use a heater at night, I don't like there being more than 8 degrees C difference between day and night. If I was changing my day to night I'd be more comfortable leaving them in darkness for 24 hrs rather than a 24hr light period. Or you could get a thermostat and leave a...

    Pruning during flowering ?

    Thanks for the replies - just to clarify it's the whole branches I am thinking of pruning. Really I should have pruned in veg but I didn't. The buds are tiny, maybe one tenth the size of the buds higher up. The branches are growing strong but with small buds and small dark green leaves...

    Pruning during flowering ?

    Hi All, I'm nearly 5 weeks into flowering hawaiian snow so I've about another 7+ weeks to go. On one plant there is quite a lot of small buds growing on the lower branches and they are stretching for the light. I'm in 2 minds whether to prune some of the lower branches now to let the the...

    Direction of bulb

    you're right about 125 being the limit - the buds at the very end are looser than the others, but a loose bud being better than no bud I'm happy to have it hanging on there. I think I will swap over to B Jack

    Direction of bulb

    The length is 1.25 metres and the width is .75 metres. I suspect that if there is any difference in the 2 setups it may be only a couple of percent but hey every % helps Jack Angel :peace:

    Direction of bulb

    Hi All, I've a 1.25 x .75 metre grow going under a 600W HPS. The bulb is mounted horizontally under a dutch barn type reflector. I hung the lamp centrally in line with the longest side. Now I'm wondering does more light get emitted from the sides of this setup and perhaps I should consider...

    Flowering Photoperiod - 12 on / 6 off ?

    Hi All, I hope you can help me with this question. Has anybody experimented with a photoperiod of 12 on / 6 off during flowering ? I've tried searching on the net to no avail. Lot of discussion about increasing the time the light is on but most methods consistently keep the dark period at...
