Ive already got the aircon arriving tomorrow. The guy that runs the LED company has offered me a 3 month trial period and if Im not happy he will refund. Hes giving me 8 of them lights for £4000. Need leccy bills lowish and heat will be an issue. I know most people are haters of LED but Im willing to give them a chance and if I not happy I'll get a refund(the guy is that confident) Its going to be a big DWC with SCROG.

fookin hell billy, what happened to the 32 wilma dripper? scrog is definitely the way to go with LEDS though seeing as the light penetration is pretty poor

The LED's are for my next op. Im defo gonae go with them. Been doing loads of reading and comparisons. The Wilma's are good but after using DWC and Wilma's, DWC's win hands down(a bit more work but better yields)

What a laugh. Blokey who tried to custard pie Murdoch has been sentenced to 6 weeks in jail. Two people who attacked a bbc reporteer at the antiques roadshow with sillystring, £80 fine. Seems Mr Murdoch is anything but a normal civilian, that; like £4K of ta money and a space in ail we don't really have.

Here's another question for you all - I'm on day 17 of flowering, I've got three plants, all diff varieties, and none of them are showing any signs of flowering at all. 400W HPS on 12/12. I've checked that when the lights go out the plants are in total darkness. I'm feeding them biobizz according to their chart. The plants are all growing vigorously but not flowering, I can't even sex them yet. Is this anything to worry about? What can cause slow flowering?

there could be a light leak that means they're not actually getting 12 hours dark so they could be still vegging. How long did you veg them for?

I've checked for light leaks, there's nothing, it's pitch dark, you can't see your hand in front of your face. They were vegged for 2 and a half weeks.

not a single hair, the lights are out now so I can't take pics until tomorrow...
I'm growing in compost, when I switched to flowering I also repotted from little pots (6inch) to big pots (about 25 litres I guess), so I'm wondering if the compost is overwhelming the plants with N and keeping them in veg?

17 days to show sex is a very long time. are there any balls showing or is it just getting bigger? are your timers set right? 12/12 and not set to permanently on. i made that mistake with a cheapo one from morrisons, the slide switch for timer and permanently on was a bit loose.
