I probably should :D still learning the balance, i either get pro-active and trim it to pieces and find whoops, too much, crap harvest, or i think no, more buds sites! and then when it starts budding out i suddenly regret it. Just like the number of plants, number of stems is not always more=better :/

Just back from sainburys, never thought i'd find myself scared to use a self service checkout, reason being every time i hit cash to try and pay the damned thing would simply electrocute me and little else. Bloody technology.

Telling the difference
Hi guys my first grow,all goin very well most plants 1ft high indoor with cfl.roughly 6 weeks old had about 10 days of nutes.

My question is they were a 10 seed indoor mix cinnamon,grapefruit,nev haze, Venus flytrap and a bonus seed northern lights. All seeds were shoved in a bag and not labled so when should I find see any signs of what's what it was a all female seeds.

ha ha, i bought an electric fire from B&Q went to the self serve checkout because it was empty, used the gun to scan the barcode on the box, but there was 4 barcodes so i just zapped the one on the top of the box and it can up with £13.75 instead of £99.99, so i put my money in fast and tried to get out as quick as i could but the gf was shouting all over the place "that was fucking cheap that machine must be broke" so i put a jog on. lol

evening peeps, If I'm running 400W of CFL am I going to get a huge temp increase going to 400W of HID?

also please see bug post in plant probs if experienced anything in the past ;)

it looks like you have a fairly good sized space for growing, although i did not try my 400W HPS without ventilation, but with it i was seeing almost perfet temperature, in the "summer" the exhaust fan and cooltube were very very handy and needed

cheeer tip top, that's what I feared in the Summer it was getting too warm just with the CFLs and oscillating fan, the last few weeks have meant that it's mean been perfect in there but I'm guessing still too much without proper extraction for a HID setup. Damn I hat being in the ground floor flat lol!

good thx man, u? smoked the 1st harvest, 3 LSD's are 3 weeks away!
Let us know how those grow and smoke, i've a couple of seeds that have been knocking around till last that i've not had much desire to plant.

Just got a contract to sort out a commputer system for some navy folk, just managed to upgrade a fair bit of my HTPC on the commission, very happy. £60 left in the pocket as well for an hours work.

will this be the second oz of this or is this still u getting it if u know what i mean?
yep this is still the one i was getting, the lad who im getting it off let me know that he was happy with it and it was dry enough to sell.

so if all goes well friday it is :)

good thx man, u? smoked the 1st harvest, 3 LSD's are 3 weeks away!
yea man im cool thanks.

nice, what was it like? love the LSD, youve got 1 lovely strain x3

the critical+ is loving the powerplant system, its guzzling water, its staying nice and small but growing out, i left it to veg for 3 weeks and changed the light to 12/12 last saturday so this saturday will be the 1st week of flowering, then leave it for another 7 weeks. i plan to chop it on 19th dec if its ready, so i can get it drying so when i come back from amsterdam its been in darkness for 3 1/2 weeks.

i switched from 600 watt enviro to 650 hps , heat wont be the issue you think, just need some space between lights and tops of plants , a nice fan and inline fan

Anyone any ideas for growing in a top floor flat?.... I heard a friend say that he knows a grower who has 3 x 600w hps suspended from his ceiling and dedicates the whole room to the flowering of his plants - dont know about in or our vents but apparently he spreads the heat about the property. Has been doing it for 6 years and has never been caught. Im venting out of a window to keep the temps down.

I have 2 x secret jardin tents (one with a big T5 and one with a 600w HPS) linked with insulated ducting to a Y piece which just aims upwards near the window and blows out near the window during the lights on period.

My understanding is that no matter what way you do it there needs to be some kind of heat exhaust and that heat has to go somewehere...

I ideally want 4 x 600w and i would even build an entirely insulated room for them and possibly use an ac unit to cool it all but the ac will still put out heat as i bought a portable before and ended up returning it. I have heard the mini splits are the business but maybe a mini split or a window ac unit will look a bit suspicious on a top floor flat (not to mention how difficult it would be to fit)

Options i know of for disposing of the heat are
-out the window
-into the attic
-down the sewer pipe
-around the property

What are people doing... and is it really feasilble to have 4 x 600w in a flat or should i just go find a barn or a basement somewhere (and on that note im finding basement property hard to find.........)
