    20oz minimum, in a 1.2m x 1.2m grow room under 600w? That's 0.9gm per watt. Optimum stuff. I've often read 1g/w is full on with Co2. And also, and not just from the source below, that 0.5gm per watt is considered "good". https://www.growweedeasy.com/1-gram-per-watt I've grown for capacity in...

    I'm aware of that, but I grow very specialised (and low yield) plants for personal preference, not to sell. I've grown high yield plants before and got 15-16oz, but that's not my goal.

    Led Users Unite!

    A little update to my old post. For giggles, and curiosity, after my previous LED grow (the one above), I did the same again, (veg on 400w MH, flower on mars Hydro LED) but I used three of the Mars 144LED lights for all of the flowering instead of two. All three pull 810w from the wall...

    Been offline for a while. I don't understand this kind of reply. 1- you say "they don't work". But I've just told you, with weights, and light costs, that they do work. They 100% do work. How do they "not work". (unless I'm lying of course) 2- I said in my post, very clearly, they they are...

    Aqua bubble cloning machine

    I switched from mini rockwool cube cuttings to an aero cloner last year (Xclone) and it's just amazing. - You don't have to worry about drying out or saturating your medium - You don't have to spray your cuttings - You really dont' have to do anything! - You can see when the roots are forming -...

    I have to say, for all the Mars Hydro bashing, I've just flowered a 4x4 tent on them and I'm impressed. I normally grow NFT, 5 plants to a 4x4ft tent, 400w MH veg, 600w HPS flower. Depending on the strain, I get between 11 and 14 ounces. That's proper dry - self use dry - not "nearly dry" to...

    Clones not rooting

    Agreed :-) Patience is the secret to cuttings I can put 16 cuttings of the same plant in my EZcloner and half will show roots in 1 week. Some take 2 weeks. Some longer. All good. Tap water, not heated, not PH'd, not refreshed. Cheap 45 watt Ebay LED for it, kept up high, and lowered as they...

    Solar DC as driver input

    Solar regulators are designed to charge batteries on their output, so they simply must be plugged into batteries for them to work. They are assessing the "battery" voltage on the output, to then decide what voltage to push out as a charge , how much current, and what stage - e.g. Bulk, Equalise...

    Lighting advice

    AC is an unnecessary cost in the UK. External temp rarely exceeds 30.

    Bubble bucket random plant starts drying.

    How cold did the room get and for how long? I have Mandala #1 on the go at the moment, and if you let the room drop below 10c for more then a few days, the leaves pooint straight up, curl inwards (close) and all growing / flowering stops. Not suffered this with other plants, so #1 must be more...

    Lighting advice

    29c is fine mate - That's what I set my fans at (UK) - weed is naturally happy around 30c, and it also means water gets consumed at a good rate which reduces the risk of old stale nutes hanging around if you are Hydro. Last summer mine sat in the early 30's

    Help! NL and Master Kush budding in Peatmoss, leaves dying!

    Careful there. Depends where you live. My heater is set at 15c (60f). Didn't bother with my last winter crop and it seriously messed it up until I heated it up, and then it never full recovered. Heating to 80f is unnecessary, agreed.

    Cheapest way to grow 5-6 plants

    Funny opposites. I light overnight in the UK to keep the room temps up! :-) I have to pay to heat my tents during the day, you have to pay to cool them! That being said, in the summer all is great. No heating, overnight growing to keep the temps stable. 5" fan never reaches 4 out of 5 on the...

    The myth of Rockwool

    Usually I veg for 2 to 4 weeks , depending on how well they fill the space / I LST them. That is from small bushy plants from my nursery that have plenty of healthy teeth roots showing through the bottom of the growdan. I transfer from the littel cubes to the big cubes (growdans) as soon as I...

    The myth of Rockwool

    No probs. I'm a fast typer, and I like to share what I've learnt ;-) NFT is easy and cheap. The ONLY thing with NFT is to wait until you have sufficient roots coming out of your rockwool before switching the pump on 24/7. Until there are a handful of healthy root "teeth" coming out of the...

    hysterisis button

    Hysterisis is the adjustment of "when" a system should react to change. So, for example, my heater control for my tent is set to keep the room at 15 degrees. The controller could switch the heater on and off all the time, trying to maintain 15 degrees. This would knacker my heater. Instead, I...

    Cheapest way to grow 5-6 plants

    If you can get your LED cheap on ebay then try it. If you can't then an HPS/MH will be way way cheaper to get started. You can run a 1mx1m tent great with 600w (400w for veg). Most tents in my world are 1.2mx1.2m (4x4ft). If you go LED in a 4x4 tent you are going to want around 500 true watts...

    The myth of Rockwool

    Sorry for the late reply, not been on for a while. Water dabbing - holding the RW cube, and dabbing it in shallow water/nutes. So it soaks up form the bottom, like a sponge. Doing it this whay you can feel the weight change each time you "dab". You very quickly get a feel of what is wet enough...
