    Alternate time of day moving into the dark

    I'll explain, as the subject is not clear. I'm giving an afghan 12/12 light. From the grow room (dark) move it at 10am into the greenhouse and then 12 hours later it's naturally dark when the sun goes down. It is left in the greenhouse and then taken back into the growroom (dark) at 5pm, giving...

    Male Hermi?

    From some regular Jack Herer seed, a male was produced and I'm collecting pollen. It appears there are a few female pistols. - is it really a female? - should I collect the seed or will I end up with hermi hell?

    Persistent cough.....

    Looking for some advice from those of you who vape, rather than smoke. Any of you vape and have a persistent dry cough? If not, I'll seek formal medical advice. It is understood that any answers provided are nonmedical and only an opinion. "Free advice is worth the price you pay" Thanks

    Mainlining - the beginning....

    Having read Dr Coco's mainlining instructions (link) I've decided to try it. The main reason is not the yield but limiting the height without impacting yield. Having topped vegetables in the past, I know it works but it's kind of scary doing it to one of my girls. I bit the bullet and did it...

    First Seed Harvest

    The first seed harvest has gone far better than expected with a proportion of seeds looking viable. The mother plant was an auto Blueberry (two of the lowest branches) and the pollen was collected from a feminised auto Amnesia Haze, the whole plant was sprayed with colloidal silver and the...

    LED self build (el-cheapo)

    Growing to the plants full potential is about understanding what is holding it back. Using fluorescent lights and standard compost are probably the main reasons for ‘low’ yield of my last (and first) grow. To that end, installing new LED lights was my first priority, as super soil seemed easy...

    A newbies auto yields

    It's been a vertical learning curve learning how to grow these plants. This forum has really helped. I thought you'd be interested in my yields - my first ever grow of this type of plant. I'm an old hand at growing veg. Three T5 fluorescent units 162w each, indoor-grown in "off the shelf...

    A battle lost against micro bore

    The back story: We're off to the sun in a couple of weeks and I'm leaving my first grown (ever) in the hands of my kids, who are both in their twenties and reasonably reliable provided it's not too much hassle. To that end, rather than have each plant watered using a watering can, I'd like a...

    Sexing is not as easy as it looks as a virgin newbie

    With a triffid-like Afghan, planted from regular seed, I was concerned that this fine specimen was a male and that I'd tempted fate by naming 'her' after the current Afghan Princess; Noal, Princess of Sa'id. Separating 'her' from the 20/4 lighting used for the autos, I made a wee cupboard and...

    Growing Hemp for CBD

    In true form, I’ve launched into the unknown and want to start at the deep end. My wife struggles with seizures, pain, exhaustion, to name a few challenges. CBD, with some THC, seems to help. It’s all under the radar as the legal system has not quite caught up. So….. The plan is to breed a CBD...

    My Grow Data (Nerd alert!)

    These are daily measurements that have been dumped into a database and then exported into a spreadsheet, pivot table, realigned start dates to make it easy to compare each variety (are you glazing over yet?) and then produced these graphs. I'm not a scientist, my measurements are within 5mm or...

    Fimming gone wrong.

    It was my own fault, the lights that I can raise and lower, dropped onto two plants. Both were bent over (lst) and the weight/force broke one of the main stems. I've neatened the break with a knife and i expect she'll survive. The downside is she is an autoflower so not expecting much yield...

    New Macro Tube off the bay

    Bought a macro tube for an elderly Nikon D70 with a cracking prime f1.8 50mm lens. It was cheaper than buying a wifi/bluetooth type microscope and was expecting poor quality. Okay, so it's mostly plastic and would not survive in the field but in my growroom.....ebay link as of 8/8/19 This is...

    My heart's in the Highlands

    Hi, Firstly I'd like to thank you for a fantastic resource. It's been useful while I setup my growroom, selection of seed and lights. Like most things I've not done before it's a pretty steep learning curve and as always, I've little or no budget. The lights, are fluorescent T5 that have been...
