Hi I'm on my second indoor grow under budmaster II 675XG LED lights in a passive wick system I was pleased with my first lot but know I can do better. Been reading alot of books and Internet but thought I'd join here and hopefully learn some things. I have grown outside successfully but now indoors so totally new to me still haven't done ph or ec testing yet but will pick a tester up at the weekend to start. I'm in the UK .

I'm new on here and also to growing. Just started seedlings. I have 400watt mh for veg and 400watt hps for flowering. Heat controlled in cooltube in tent with inline fan. Pictures to come when I get everything figured out. Hope to find some good info to help me along my grow journey. Thanks

Hi everyone I just joined and am towards end of my first grow ever. It started as an experiment just because I had a few bag seeds from some really good sour diesel. I made a spacebucket with 6 23watt cfls and after 2 months veg it was about 18 inches and too big for buckets so i put into 3.75 gallon pot and made a space bucket type setup with trash cans and went to 16 23watt cfls and switched to 12/12. It's been 8 weeks now in flower and is now almost 6 ft tall. I used only miracle grow all purpose for veg then switched to fox farms tiger bloom for flower. I flushed 1 week ago and strait water since. I and seeing mostly cloudy and some amber trichromes. I have had fan leaves die and fall off during flower but overall they are still green and very much alive. I'm not sure if I should harvest yet. Here are some pics from 1 week ago when I first saw some very few amber trichromes. Any advise greatly appreciated. This is my first grow ever and didn't expect this big plant and now I really just don't want last 4 months to be waste. Thanks so much

that's some good looking bud for using cfl's and bag seed. good job man!

Happy to see so many with the urge to grow,

I've been reading alot of the posts and wanted to reply to some of them but am always paranoid of registering and what not (unfortunate about the guest posting being disabled, damn spammers) but I liked the cut of the jib on this site.

I look forward to the knowledge that I have to gain from this site as well as being part of the community as I'm sure it will flourish and bloom much like the fruits I hope to soon spawn.

Peace

Hello!

I'm a long time lurker, but decided to set up an account as I've just created my own website where I hope to take everything I've learnt from forums over the past 16 years (holy shit, just really felt my age...
), and share with everyone what the best ways to grow are.

I set up an account because there is some information I'd like to ask from the community. Maybe the mods can advise on the best approach to do so, but I think there is great benefit in collecting information on grows from many people in forums and analysing it. Ultimately, the goal in growing for everyone is to grow the highest quality, highest mass. Efficiency and efficacy of the grow is directly related to the grow environment and plant nutrition.

The problem is that it's not easy to extract reliable information online - posts are multi paged and tedious, while a user in one post will use metric while another uses imperial. That's just in one forum, there are many.

That plan I've come up with is a questionnaire that people can continuously volunteer some time to inputting the data of previous grows, and I'm making a similar request for time on other forums. It would be cool to analyse the information to see how grow room size, light intensity (and source type), or techniques like super cropping affects growth.

This is the questionnaire, owngrown.eu/environment-vs-yield-questionnaire. What do to the admins think, interested in seeing the results?

Thanks @strainbank. I have 2 responses already, hopefully will have a few more soon (going to ask an admin if I can start a thread about it).

I hope to be posting my first grow journal some point soon too. I'm converting a 120cm x 180cm x 60cm heavy duty shelving unit into a grow box. 2 x G240 LEDs for veg in addition to a 400HPS when I switch to flowering. I'll be using a DIY bubbleponics system, but I'm working on an idea of it as a top feed DWC. Tthe grow has to be super stealth, but I think I can put the water reservoir at the bottom, bubble air through it and roots, and continuously pump the water up and over too because I have an additional idea about substrate.

I make my own vermicompost - if anyone else does this, you must have noticed how well seeds take off in the rich compost. I thought it would be interesting to grow in soil/au naturale
while vegging plant and switch to hydro when flowering. I think it can be achieved by a soil pot on top of a hydro bucket. Roots grow down to the bottom of the soil pot, through a fibrous membrane, then into the hydro bucket.

Water from the reservoir will be pumped up into the soil pots during veg, then an airstone turned on in the res. when the roots get there.

Also planning to use "monster cropping" to setup a continuous grow.

are you going to top the plants to make new clones? that's an interesting idea. how many rooms will you have? ive heard of some people have 3 rooms to do a perpetual grow.
