Misters work great, some kind of shadescreen is your other option (or both), you can probably get some cheap shade screen from Bunnings. You would only have to use that stuff on days over 30C, many people have a shadescreen on a roller they can bring out when needed. Those big oscillating...

Hey mate, What you are looking at is your plants wilting. You can read some general stuff about it here. Once your girls get above 28-30 C they will stop transpiration and pretty much shut down. Over 35 C you are doing damage (i.e. 'wilting') that will affect yield. High humidity also...

Great looking plants mate, I think if you can really just let them go another 6-8 weeks should come up nicely. They look a little sunburnt at the tips but not too bad. The above guys are right, your number 1 problem from now will be people noticing/ripping off your grow. NPK ratios look...

They look to be flowering already, having a delayed or darker dawn is an option sometimes, if you can keep them shaded for a few extra hours in the morning. But they will continue to flower anyway, the exact process is not fully understood yet, it's related to a hypothetical hormone called Florigen.

Mate you are going to have some absolute monsters in another 8 - 10 weeks, looks great!

Hey folks, just hung everything up to dry after being washed, got a few preview shots. I will get some good nug shots and a final dry weight in a couple of days. Got about 3kg of wet buds with stems on, not sure what the final dry weight will be but I'm pretty happy for the first attempt at...

Started the flush today, I was pushing my nutrient regime pretty high towards the end, up to EC 1.8, so I want to give the girls at least 4-5 days (doesn't sound like much but I'm told for DWC that's really all you need). I've heard mixed things about molasses in hydro it but who cares, all...

Hi 420 Mag, Things have been progressing slowly but steadily towards the finish line. I am a few days into Week 10 of flower, I will be flushing very soon and getting ready to harvest. I have secured a decent camera which I'll use for the harvest to get some nice bud shots for you guys, in the...
