Hi all, Nice and quick post. I went awayfor afew days and left my plants for my Bro to look after. I came home 4-5 days later and the leaves had started to turn yellow and go dry and would crumble to touch. Below is a pic of them today 1.5 weeks later. (The tall plant has had to pruned to...

I never thought lights would be so difficult. I basically need 47000 lumens for my tent, but nothing I can find will provide that without exceeding temps to a ridiculous degree.

I was looking at a t5 setup at one stage and was recommended this from the guy I bought the tent off - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hydro24-T5-2-feet-4-tube-24w-Grow-Light-aluminium-reflector-4-Propagation-6500k-/261539765098?pt=AU_Seed_Starting_Hydroponics&hash=item3ce4fc1b6a And he has...

What square footage are you running that in duesracing? I'm not sure my tent is large enough for that. I've been brain storming on the best way to use cfls and to reach the lumens I need, I'd need way to many globes. Ive up with 3 options at the moment which incorporate cfls and T8 tubes...

Will do fecklejester. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm waiting to hear back on robs suggestion on how to sort the HID, but the tents arrived today, and my plant really needs to be moved asap.

Hey Rob, Just sent you a message mate. I would have liked to have given LED a try, but I'm just skeptic on the eBay ones and if they don't work as advertised, I don't want to have wasted the $

Hi mate, I can't seem to find the private message option, so hope this is OK. In relation to my grow tent (80cm X 80cm X 1.6m), what do u think will be best? I'm keen on the HID, but im thinking the heat will be an issue considering the wattage I would need to get the correct amount of lumens...

I looked at a few LED panels on ebay, but have heard the eBay versions art the best quality and to steer away. I was reading a forum where they were saying a good LED setup can come to around 1k+. Once I read that, I stopped looking into LED's. How accurate that info was I don't know. I'll...

Hi All, I'm still fairly new to growing and hope some assistance can be provided. I just purchased a 80cm x 80cm X 160cm grow tent and I'm a little stumped on which lights to use. I was initially using cfls in my last setup, yet as I now have more room I want to have more than 1 plant going at...

Can anyone tell me what brand to purchase? I don't really want to wing it and pick up another average ph tester.

Thanks for the input guys. The soil normally drains fairly well, and there's perlite under the actual soil, as I mix it into the soil before I repot into a larger pot plant. Although I've noticed since the flush it is taking a lot of time to dry out. I have a PH tester here, but it's a fairly...

Hi all, First up, I checked the sticky on plant problems, but the pictures wouldn't load, hence for my post. Attached are some pictures which show the issue I'm having with my plant. Afew weeks ago the leaves started curling up, going dry and crumble when touched. They remain green tho. I've...

Thanks for the response guys. The soil is a bit of a long story, I had 2 bag seeds. The one I tried first died in the ass as soon as it went into the soil I purchased. I can't remember the brand but it obviously wasn't very good. Second seed I followed a friends advice and used this hard soil...

Hi all, First up, I'm a new member n grower so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I've checked the 101 already asked questions and the answer I was looking for wasn't there. Recently I germinated and planted a bagseed just for the fun of it as I've never been able to get one to work before...
