build a shed in a public common ground or park. Just a quickie shelter somehow - in some heath or open land somewhere. ive got a mate who build one in this park in london. Just a little square made out of ply wood and the top had corrigated plastic n whatever - pretty dirty. But keeps the place dry n whatever. Kids smoke dope down there now - its a pretty cool things. Make something like that - for the future generations lol

not sure if thats right? i put in 10pounds of electric every week using a 600hps on 12/12 along with 5 fishtank pumps that are on 24/7 and i use my air con for 12hours a day! so i put 10pound or more in everyweek! 10-15 pounds! i cant see a 400watt hps costing 14.40 per month??? now i have 2 x 600hps i think im gonna have to put extra electric in? dose anyone know how much this should cost coz electric is one big issue in my house! im thinking of putting in 60pounds a month! do you think this is more then enough for what im using?

gud idea to put 120 then see how it goes but that wont work coz other ppl would use my electric so i cant do it like that! i was thinking about putting 2pounds a day in! lmao this way im paying for my grow ona daily basis! coz i normaly put 10pounds a week in but it never gets topped up all the time and my money gets used so i give more!air con is not gonna help your electricity bills if on 12 hours a day
as to whether £60 will be enough, well stick £120 in the meter at the beginning of the month, do as you normally would, then see what's left on your meter at the end of the first month, sat £45, then you know it's gonna be more like £75 a month. would that work?
not to mention you're taking into account alll of your electrical needs, not just a single light. if i were on a meter and ran as i do, and includede a 400w light into it, i'd be having to put in £15 a week
think im gonna change my electric supplier again, just switched over and seems like its going rapid

if you can get the company supplying you to remove the meter and get a normal one in the meter is the most expensive way of paying for your leccy bill, it is however the easiest meter to fiddle

i assume your using the dome? well u dont need 125watts for clones, try 20watt light hangin over the dome! look at my advart pic, its my propagator with a 20watt light over it! works perfect! 75 - 100% success rate if you keep them wet! this will keep temps in the 70's aswell!
or if u have a pump you could make your own bubble cloner like i did! works perfect - 101% success rate - see pics
its not a problem to have high humid levels when using a propagator thats what they are designed for! its for seedlings and clones that need high humid

word! Hughlle 20-30% is spot on, ive never heard folks really bother putting sand in it doesn't hold water but might improve drainage but then why put perlite in to keep moisture if your putting sand in to drain it faster?!
you should be looking to repot your babies 3-4 times from plastic drink size cup to medium sized pot maybe 3-4 litre then just before they go into 12/12 put them in their last home i generally opt for 9 litre pots but im switching up to 11 for shits n giggles if you plant straight into large pots you run the risk of the roots expanding really quick and getting potbound early on which leads to nutrient lockout problems and stunted growth.
nutes from basementlighting.co.uk reasonable price.soil nutes biobizz veg + bloom/ big bud/ AN Hammerhead/ AN overdrive +final phase to flush.

go for it man it cant do any harm and more air on the roots is always a good thing.
its not essential to transplant into bigger pots you can do the way you say and just plant in 9L and they'll grow, if you've already put them in just leave them it wont make that much difference, especially with a big pot like 9L.
my point about the rootbound thing is that if it gets to that stage and the plant cant take up nutes your already at max capacity ( i have repotted at like 6wks into 12/12 with no problems tho)
