presumably shed/cinderblocks/concrete floor its going to be chilly in the winter ? if you had the 2 600 flip flopping, could they substitute a heater? or will it be warm enough anyway.
also wondering you know the hempy reservoir, could you make that into a rdwc? any one seen that?

Good news today - LA finally showed sex and it's a chick!!! Kind of makes up for the hordes of fungus gnats I found while looking for her girly bits. I guess that's t be expected with all the rain never letting my pots dry out

i think that theres a big but to light movers, either because their gimicky crap or its just strain dependant. if they boosted yield/quality or could sub a light, way more folks would use them.
WOoah, All i said is that they help with light distribution, I wasn't saying that you should replace a 600 hps with one LOL. They do have other benefits, a few nice 1's that will help with producing better quality buds and preventing some probs but at the end of the day it is only something that moves your light across your canopy. Also, they are extremely popular, but maybe not as much over here, Ya dont really need one in a 9ftsq tent :)
@ae - Theres so much info online, do some research!! ;)

they are looking good, i always love seeing the babies starting off.

i am a bit worried that you dropped your paint brush, before you finished, to take a pic of the area. lazy git. ;)
it really reminds me of my 1st setup. with the cardboard reflectors and cfl's, unlike you, i didn't have the money for the E40 connectors so i drilled into the metal to get a wire in so i didn't need a e40, and it still works today
i don't know about you but i think a bit of space-aged mylar would look great there ;)

you do know that molasses will cause problems in a res. i know some ppl use it instead of bud candy. i tried it and i got some sort of scum, or water fluff, building up in my res.
tomato feed and organic feeds are a no no
you do get it with the organic feeds, but you can find non-organic tomato feeds that won't cause problems. but if i was to recommend one, i'd go for plant magic. i just like their range and i can get them easy enough. CANNA are good too, but i don't see you picking a feed, rhizo and bud blaster are just additives.

you worry me when your talking about light bulbs blowing and they aren't a big deal. well i beg to differ. i've had a light blow on me and it was ok, i just replaced it, however the E40 got burned out too, but it worked so i didn't replace it. later the E40 came back into the trouble zone, for some reason i still don't understand, the E40 wasn't letting my timer turn off. i had 24on when i should have had 12/12 on/off. it was some sort of feed back or something but it fucked me up and ruined everything on me. i wasted my time replacing the timers. it still pisses me off thinking about it

are you going to do a grow blog?​

not until i have this scrog growing nailed really, and on the nute and additive questions and stuff its just i`d like an understanding of whats woring and whats not and what i don`t need and do need....

haven`t the cash to spend on stuff i don`t really need, and not been lazy... well...


it was on account of the three year old wanting a drink so said i`d get a pic mid first coats.....;)



oh on the shed issues... there will be a false floor with some 4inch foam insulation and same on sides, the rear wall will be un insulated, if heat or cold are issues i`ll have too sort it then i`m afraid.
it was grow here or not atall.....

yes and no ae, i had them with soil so i got neem oil and its ok in veg but i dont like spaying anything on the plants in flower, i found sand around the top of the soil kept them from getting out into the grow room but i am not sure if it would work outside in the rain, no bugs so far in coco and no need for anything

few pics of where were at right now, no doors no venting nothing but lights....;)

so you can see the room as it comes together i`ll post pics where and when it happens...
Whats the story gentlemen, sorry i aint been on inawhile, had a death in my family, enough said.

Dude i put a yoga mat or polystrene sheets under your pots to get them up off the cold concrete floor.


I still havent harvested the girls, they seem to have just stopped growing, just not filling out at all, they should be well finished by now. I have to say they have been mistreated the last few weeks due to circumstances.....Will try and get a pic or 2 tonight. And a bag seed that i through down seems to be looking like yours kang, vegged her for 3 weeks put her in to flower and she looks fucked, leaves burned to bits, deffo no nute burn because all she had was algamic and a small dose at that, oh and a small feed of epsom.

Sorry 86 should also said , room looks great, very jealous.
