Zootime, i've had Thrips a couple of times with my autos, don't get any pesticides if you have bugs, go find some ladybirds!! I can't speak highly enough of Ladybirds, they are amazing things when it comes to bugs in your crop! The only problem is they like frying themselves on your lights...

Endorium you won't hurt your plants on 24/0 but you will get the same sorta results from 20/4 or 18/6 (depending on temps, if you need the extra heat during night periods go 20/4, if not go 18/6) The only thing you'll do is save abit of electric, it won't actually hurt your plants having them...

It's not my drinking water! I use my well as the PH is excellent where as my tap water is way out! The temps only drop below 40 on a night cycle, no more than a couple of hours by the time it cools down, I might have to raise the temp a little or carry on with the risk of purple plants! I...

Klmmicro, i get my water from a well, I live in an old mining area so there's traces of Cyanide in the ground so there's always a chance! I've done a few LR2's but none have shown a purple ting, the night temps are dropping below 40F though!

Forgot to mention im hoping it's temps cause the other option i can think of would be cyanide in the water, i don't fancy suffering a few years down the line with Cyanide poisoning!!

Mossy, FullD...... A Lowryder 2 plant, grown alongside a few other Lowryders and a few AK's.... There near 8 weeks from seed, in the last few days a Lowryder 2 plant has started to get a purple ting around it's leaves and bud...... What do you reckon? Low temps im thinking but doesn't that...

Teflon - They look good to me, they look a few weeks in to flowering so you'll start losing leaves, i wouldn't worry about it!

I know it's nothing to do with AF's but the funniest cannabis related news story i've seen for a long time has to be this, it's breaking news according to yahoo lol http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20101119/thl-french-farmer-fined-for-giving-canna-3bf5dbc.html Absolutely priceless!!

I'm in people! I have no more useful information to add but im here! Actually FullD i plant my beans straight in to the soil without sprouting them first, never had any problems with them growing upside down, it's a good method for autos, out of all them only 1 hasn't sprout.

My problem is the cold weather, temps drop as low as 45F during the night period, during the day they don't raise above about 58F, i know this is stupidly low but the AF's are so resiliant and don't seem to suffer too badly, in fact the cold helps them stretch thus avoiding the whole bud rot due...

Thanks FullD, sorry didn't want to seem like i've just jumped in from nowhere, it's taken me 3 days to read the whole thread before i posted anything!! The 1 piece of advice i will give on AF's, IMO let them stretch a little..... If you grow them perfectly with no stretch you end up with a...

Thanks Hitman, i've never noticed them being affected but it's just they look so good you want to stare at them even when there sleeping!!

Endorium all i would think about is the food stores are mostly in the fan leaves so you want to leave as many as possible till they go brown, then there technically dead so cut them, if your worried about light and the lower buds why don't you think of doing a staggered harvest, take the top off...

Sorry to jump in but 1 thing i've always wondered is with AF's when you run (for example) an 18/6 schedule is it ok to wake them during the dark period bearing in mind they don't react to photoperiod?

Any chance someone can confirm if this sounds ok?

Sorry with housewire i meant normal electric cable - 3 wires inside red, blue and green - this is rated around 13/15 Amp.

Hi, thanks for the replies.... The cable is protected where it runs outside, it wasn't laid by me but looks good! A double plug is where you plug the adaptor in to the single socket and it has 2 plugs coming off it (see...

Hey i was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on electrics! Apologies if any of this sounds stupid! ......... Is it safe to run 3 core house wire about 50 metres, this is connected to a single plug thats wired to the wall 1 end with a power breaker on it, this 50m wire goes to a shed in...
