Actually to be honest, on a second look, they do not look good. They should not be loosing so many lower leaves. I would take the pots outside and flush them through with clean water for 10 mins till its been running free for a while to get all the nutes out of the soil. Then, if possible I...

Your plants look ok, but I would be investigating why the lower leaves (not the round seed leaves) are yellowing and I would be looking into why the tips of the leaves are slightly curled and yellowing. At a glance I would be moving those lights higher and probably turning one off until they are...

Ok, a big statement, but bear with me. The plan is to develop a system which supplies a plant with its optimal requirments (lighting, nutrition, air and environment). I am beginning with nutrition. Mearly measuring the PPM of a hydro solution is not accurate enough for this experiment. I...

Hi, I remember hearing somewhere a long time ago that there is a fertiliser think it had "chlor" in the name that makes a budding plant go crazy with the resin production. I think it is the same chemical they commercially use on Latex trees to increase rubber production. Anyone else know...

Mate, I am in the same situation. I also planted the 20 free seeds in cups with soil. 4days ago, I have a few of mine that are also mega droopy. I was assuming I over watered them so have been drying them out. When we talk about temperature are we talking room air temperature or the temp...

I am growing 2 different strains, 1 Big Bud and one mystery Sativa/Indica mix. On one plant of each strain the stem has gone purple. The plants look very healthy but it is just strange that only 2 plants from 15 look like this. The plants are only 4 days old from seed, grown in soil...

Why are my stems bending under 2 days massive growth. half inch by 1 inch leaves on 3 to 4 inch stalks under direct 400w sonlight Agro. 12 inch distance bulb to tops. is that ok. why are there light to dark leaf colour differences

Thanks for the ideas mate, Ill defiantly check them out. Im in two minds, it would be nice to just fork out for the good one. But on the other hand i am a plumber and always feel like having a crack at it myself. Ill keep this post updated on what I find. Anymore info appreciated

Ive been looking at going to a Coliseum setup, has anyone got experience with a product like this? Pros, Cons for a look at what ive seen "www.hydroponics.eu/product.asp?Id=4927-Coliseum+5+levels"

Hi, For your first grow keep it simple, but make sure you buy things that you can go pro with if you so choose. I would recommend 1 room (you can always go to 2 later) Go for a Sonlight Agro 600W HPS with the Sonlight balast (most efficient and quiet good for veg and bloom, good...

I am germinating some seeds in soil. Should I have them in the dark? or with lights on, HPS or fluro?

Ok great, thats what ill be doing then. Is there any benifit in pruning off buds at the end of the flowering and regenerating the plant back to 18hrs for a few weeks then asking her to bud again? or is this a bad idea?

Thanks for the reply, I am concerned just that a small apartment usually running only 1 or 2 X 40W lights and a TV, fridge etc. suddenly starts usuing 600W on 18hr cycles that the rapid usage change might raise alarm bells with my electricity provider. Do you think this is a real concern...

Hi, This is my first serious grow attempt. I have a nice walk in wordrobe 2.5metres by 1.5metres. It has a built in ducted exhaust and fresh air inlet. It holds a constant 20degrees C (with the light off) and 50% humidity. I am currently running a 400W Sonlight Agro HPS (which I believe...
