Thanks so much for the advice! They are looking better now. I think I will get some CFLs. From what I read they can be pretty reliable, so it will be a good investment. As far as I can tell I should also be able to use the CFL for vegging. Bonus! Running the 600W light makes the electric meter spin round like a carnival ride...

When the plants are small ,i.e seedlings the area of the leaves is small so regardless of what light they have they still only can photosynthesise a certain amount of light so cfl's are ideal for quite awhile and if you have enough of them for the whole veg cycle.

Picked up some Terra flores got it for 12e your man gave me a discount, shop has loads anyone using it tips on using it not sure how much to use per plant, says add 50ml per 10ltr I know not to use that amount but how much water and feed should I use per plant, as you's know there in 40litr grow bags

If it was me I'd start off with half strength and see how they react to it.

In the 10litrs of water?

Half strength ratio.
If it's 50ml per 10l of water that breaks down to 5ml per litre as per instructions.
Do a google and see what other users have to say.

Doing that, still a bit confused on how much water and nutes to use

Half strength would be 2.5 ml a litre, even if you were still unsure I doubt 2ml a litre would be too harsh on them.

just had my brother comment, vaguely outside my mobile home that he smells "gone off beer" which i found quite troubling. i explained during my cleanup i disposed of many can bottoms out the door, (many months old) and he accepted that.. obviously since he's not even slightly one to recognise weed smell i am worried. i have such a limited budget and no real exhaust. what are my options for filtration/oder illimination?? gack

 

[fr3d12]

An extractor and carbon filter are the most secure, you could go down the route of masking the smell with the like of ona etc but it would probably cost you more overall.
DIY carbon scrubbers are inexpensive and easy to make but you would still need the fan.

 

[Cloudiology]

i'm definitely gonna research my most affordable option.. or i could just tell him,....
sigh

 

[fr3d12]

Just seen this on adverts.

A bit of haggling and you'd get a bargain.

 

[Cloudiology]

that's a damn nice price!

 

[Cloudiology]

shit. westmeath is faar from me. postage would add a lot

 

[fr3d12]

You wouldn't know if the asking price was offered what he might agree to

 

[fr3d12]

I know it's all money and expense but after your lights a fan and filter is the most important piece of equipment in a grow room.

@dublingrower: still no mail? hope it makes it if not I have a resend.

albas seed oil, a dab here and there will cover the smell of the plants cloudy, you can get it in any chemist, get a rag and stuff it into a bottle (glass milk bottles if you can) pour in some albas oil and leave it in the grow room, put a dab of oil about the mobile aswell that will mask the smell until you get better venting or a big air scrubber..

 

[fr3d12]

Good tip ae, never heard that before and I use the stuff sometimes when the nose is blocked.
Handy to know.

if smell is going to be an issue and remember some strains stink from early flower, then a good filter is a must, smell is right up there on the list of lads getting caught, and you raise a good point cloudy, that people who don`t smoke will get the whiff and be like "whats that"...

worse still some cunt that would hang you...

 

[fr3d12]

True again ae and just because someone calls and doesn't comment on the smell it doesn't mean they don't get it.
