They are all good, but the NL may be easiest to grow for a noobie. Good luck, and don't be a stranger long. (more posts...pics if poss.).
 
Thanks jimmyspaz.

I have a 2x2x4 grow box.It has 200cfm fan for exhayust,passive intake.Interchangable 175w Mh and A 150w Hps.Temp with light on is 81.9,lights off is 74.2

Temp at top plant height is 80.9
I tried a junk seed and grew it,the light was 4 inches away from top and it grew well.
I have a 16 plant Dwc,with charcoal scubber inside box.Will be doing sog.Mother plant will be somewhere else.Any thoughts at what more i can do for 1st grow.
 
the temp is always around 79 degrees. light was about 5 feet away, but i just moved it about 2 feet away now so its closer. i was watering everyday, now im only watering every 2-3 days?
 
welcome kivi. hope you enjoy our little group. I can't rep them for it, I have to spread it around. I want to thank wikid, jimmy and ace for taking the time to try and make sure we welcome all of our new members. And I hope your 4/20 was as nice as mine. VV

Dude, lol, you took so long to answer, when you first posted, I totally forgot what the hell you were talking about, sorry.

Anyways, I keep my lights 3-4 INCHES away from my plants...you should keep them as close as you can without burning your plants. Test the distance with your arm, if the light's too hot for you, then it's too hot for your plant. Which leads me to my other question...Do you have a fan going? And what size pots are your plants in? Watering everyday, even every 2-3 days sounds too often, but that's by comparison to MY watering schedule...if your soil is really drying out that fast, then I guess....Are you testing the soils moisture before you water? Most people can tell just by feeling with their finger, but if you're really unsure you can buy a moisture meter....

Hi :D New member here from Australia...

Looking forward to meeting other Oz growers for some educating. Smokin for 30yrs but don't know sh*t from clay when it comes to strains and hydroponic systems etc etc....

Anyone here from Australia?

Several members are from Australia. AL B Fuct has a journal posted, Get A Harvest Every Two Weeks which you will find interesting. Many of the things in his journal apply to Australian climate. You will want to be able to control humidity levels and temps of course. Fortunately, since you are almost in your winter, it will be less of a problem until the end of the year so you will have some time to learn before having to deal with those issues. Welcome to our little group. VV:blsmoke:
 
welcome aussies! yep winter is helping to keep the heat down for sure, and lights are helping keep us warm, not looking forward to summer
 
Hello all,

Been growing for 2-3 months, been in flower phase for about 3-4 weeks, have been reading a lot of the posts on this site (and others) and picked up some great tips. Had a problem with overfeeding in about 4-5th week, leaves yellowed curled under and developed rust coloured spots that looked like burns. Picked off these dead leaves and flushed medium with pure water, then watered using about a 10% solution of nutes (nitrozyme)for 2 days, then eased back on the feed from then on. Solved problem.

Now i am noticing some of the lower leaves yellowing (no curl or burn spots), is this just a result of reduced daylight on the 12/12 cycle (autumn type cycle). or do you think it could be down to something more sinister. This is my first grow, and i am growing in standard potting compost with some added perlite under a 600w light.

Will post some pics as soon as i take some.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
 
Yellowing and die-back of fan leaves is normal during bloom. Don't sweat it!! Welcome to riu, and good luck with your grow.
 
Thanks for that.

Kind of thought it was, that puts my mind at rest.

Attached a couple of pics anyway.

When the bottom fan Leafs turn yellow on my flowering plants, I just grab the stem of that fan leaf and give it a quick pop motion straight down, they will pop right off. No need for snips. Heck i hardly even use my snips when I harvest. I do it like Arjan and his buddy does at The GreenHouse Seed Company. I also cut off all the small skinny branches for the first 6-12 inches of the plant like they do, to help air flow and let that energy go to the top of the plant where it is needed the most. I do this in the first 2 weeks of flowering.
