    Experimental Grow

    Does anyone want to take a stab at what I might get at harvest if all continues to go well? Remember Im gonna add 1 or 2 more 20w CFLs within the fortnight...to total 148-168watts actual watts. I know it will be a small plant but would 1/2oz be setting my sights too high? This is my first real...

    Experimental Grow

    First it was 90% gravel and 10% sandy soil...now after repot its more around 25% soil so hopefully there will be enough soil to hold onto some vital flowering nutes. Also, No rooter. Just germinated in a wet paper towel (popped in like 16 hrs) and put in straight into the pot. Just made hole...

    Experimental Grow

    Cheers me friend. Dunno what made me think of it...just thought that it would drain really well and allow a lot of air to the roots and therefor eliminate the chance of over watering. Seems to be workin coz i've been watering 3 times a day (waaaay to much under normal circumstances). Will...

    First Grow

    well its seems to me mate that its already supporting it since you added more soil, judging my the pic you added. now you should get a fan an stick it on the plant. this will simulate natural wind and strengthen the stem. and obviously more light to halt the stretching. peace DoctorMap :leaf:

    first time grower under cfls, need help!

    Really depends mate. Does it need to be stealth? You say you have a "bunch" of seeds...so how many plants do you want? Where are you going to grow? Ideally you want to GET AS MANY AS YOU CAN AFFORD. I mean, i've seen people grow 1 plant entirely under only a couple of cfl's, and yea they got...

    cardboard grow box

    Yea I would really recommend you not grow in a cardboard box mate...as has already been said the fire risk is just too great. And a smoke detector changes nothing...yes, you wont die, but it will still burn down the house. And you're not even there half the time so smoke detector changes...

    JP's Cabinet Grow

    Hmmm Im not sure mate. Im no pro but this is my 2 cents: common sense tells me that if its an auto flowerer you dont need to 12/12 it. Im also thinkin that its either autoflower or its not...no inbetween. So if its advertised as auto then it will be auto an 12/12 will just result in a smaller...

    Is this PC Fan suitable?

    Well I ended up using the fan (figured if i need more i can easily get another) and so far everything is great. After 7 hours of lights on the temp barely raised 1 or 2 degrees Celsius. I am quite surprised considering reply's i got....was not expecting it to work very well at all. That being...

    JP's Cabinet Grow

    Yikes mate... This really has been a troublesome grow for you. Every second post it seems that you changed the fan set up...and even chopped a couple of ya plants in one of the fans! lol, I feel sorry for you mate, but good on you for sticking in there. Hope you end up getting something decent...

    Experimental Grow

    Cheers mate, The idea of the experiment is the fact that the grow medium is 90% Gravel... I'm not sure about you but I've never seen a gravel grow. I searched around the net and couldn't find and references to it either so I thought I would give it a go. Also, I did start of with 2 plants...

    Cheers for the kind words mate. Its should be interesting indeed...but judging by how the roots are going already i would think it will be ok. Could i then do 2-3 plants of this size under 150-170watts of CFLs? thats probably whet ill end up with in the cabinet and hopin i coult get at least...
