say "I’m considering using 25L pots for flowering, with a plant saucer placed on top of each pot that’s pre-filled with compost. I’d start by vegging the plants in 3L pots, keeping the lights around 120cm above the main pots and 90cm above the plants during early veg. Once the plants reach about...

That depends on your led, you can do this with some Leds. you could hang them 120cm above the pots and watch the plants grow, aim for them to finish 3ft high(topping if needed) and very bushy

Thinking back, I think this was a reply to growing auto's(main light on 20 hours, off 4 hours) , giving them extra light at the right time will increase the crop size(more bud sites)

"I feel like the sheds are smaller they get hot and it’s just easier to not have a lung room?" I used to think the same way, but it really depends on how you design and build the shed. For example, you could design the shed’s base to act as the lung room, pulling air from beneath the shed. As...

A 6x10 room would be ideal. I’d set it up with two flower rooms, ensuring the temperature stays consistent in both.

Honestly, I've never grown in a tent. I’m not a fan of how the sizes can feel restricted, and they don't seem like something you can rely on for the long term. A purpose-built room offers the freedom to fully utilize the space and allows you to redesign it as needed, improving your results over...

I have built a lot of grow rooms over the years its good fun, the last few have been sheds, IMO they the best by far. I tend to jump on QCAD and design the room, are you spiting the room up, so you can have Veg room and flower room( double the crops per year)?

I wish I had more space, but living in the UK means I have to keep things on the smaller side and stay under the radar. I currently have two flower rooms: one measuring 1.8m x 1.2m and the other 2.2m x 1m.

I have been growing for the past 20 years, and my goal is to produce a large quantity of cannabis at the lowest cost. After a year or two of experimentation, I decided to switch to soil. I planned to set up a dedicated seedling or cutting cabinet, a small veg room (about 20% the size of the...

off to a good start, looks good

I have used the cheap household LED bulbs for years, once you know how to get the best out of them, they give amazing results 4 weeks in flower 12/12, reused compost, used cheap dried plant fertiliser from local garden centre, my budgets very low

With a small veg room that takes up about one-third of the floor space, it's possible to grow up to six crops per year. In this setup, the veg room is used to start the next batch of plants. For the first two weeks, the seedlings are placed in a heated propagator under a low-wattage LED light...

I don't really see the issue. First, I would download the Lux app on my phone and adjust the height to ensure the plants are receiving over 30,000 lux. While the results may not be optimal, you could still easily harvest a crop.

I've been growing for over 20 years now, and I've lost count of how many crops I've done. In the first 5 years, I dove deep into the science, watched countless videos, and over time, I realized that following all the scientific advice didn’t always lead to better results. Sometimes, it felt like...

Removing the large fan leaves during this stage of veg will encourage the lower shoots to grow more quickly, as you're eliminating a significant amount of weight. In 7-14 days, the plant will likely double in size. Keeping the fan leaves on, however, can block airflow and light to the lower...

That's the biggest issue—many growers make impulse purchases without fully understanding what they're buying. It's important to take the time to research different lights, make a list of key criteria, and understand exactly what you need. This way, you'll be able to choose the right lights from...

To be honest, I missed the LED lighting revolution. I mostly observed as others jumped on board. Over the years, I’ve often heard how amazing and worth the investment LEDs are, but more frequently, I’ve been told it’s just a waste of money. I typically use basic plant fertilizer from my local...

Thanks for the link, brings back good memories, when I first started to grow, it was all about Lumatek 600w digital dimmable Ballast(single end), first 3 weeks using mh and then swapping over to hps using a air cooled reflector, they really only cover 1m x 80cm, I could run 2 in a line 1.6m x 1m...

You could do a sog, 100 plants in 2ltr pots, only give the plants a week in veg but your only pull 4 to 8g per plant or you could do a single plant( scog) Takes 7 weeks in veg and pull 400 to 600g so in theory, a sog will pull a higher crop but it's a nightmare to set up and the cost of seeds...

It's been just over 2 weeks and things are going well, they look good.
