Cheers guys... I hope it provides some inspiration for others to do the same. I keep things fairly simple with my grow medium and on the nutes front. I start seeds on wet tissue paper and as soon as they crack I put them in seedling compost (with some perlite) in small pots. Once they are...

For all those newbies out there considering buying expensive seeds for their first grow - have you got any seeds lying around from a previous score? I had a few from some nice smoke I had last summer and thought I'd give them a go along with some autos I was growing..... and I'm bloody glad I...

Gorgeous pics there mate...... I've got myself a Nikon D60 but I'm no pro at using it, looks like you know your stuff!!! Would love to see some of your pics once you get that macro lens amd ring flash!!!

First of all, they look VERY tasty - looks like you've done a fine job, even if they have had a hard life. I'd give them a couple of weeks more though. They look a bit immature currently and you could even see some more fattening up if you wait a bit longer. I wouldn't expect both types of...

I've done 12/12 throughout the flowering for some autos because I was growing some bagseeds at the same time that needed to be put into flower. The autos did fine, maybe not quite as good as they could've been with 18/6, but some decent buds all the same....the bagseeds will be finished soon and...

As others have said - you get what you pay for. Just consider the energy (and money) you'll be putting into growing these girls... spending a few extra £'s or $'s on your seeds will pay dividends in the end. Also consider your yield - pay a bit more and your yield could increase by 100% compared...

I've got a 400w HPS in my tent which is 1100mm wide, 650mm deep and 1200mm high and it seems to fill it with light quite nicely.

Looking lovely and juicy.... good work fella

They are both showing different traits though. The one with two main colas is more frosty, whereas the other seems to be more oily...... good thing is though, I like frosty plants as much as I like oily ones!!!!

Exactly... long as they sssscccchmoke good :-P:-P

Cheers mate - always nice to get rep off a pro such as yourself. I don't smoke a lot these days, but I still love it and I LOVE growing... it's such a pleasure. My wife would prefer it if I didn't grow, but she knows how much it means to me so she turns a blind eye (apart from when I stink of...

I'll keep am eye on them then (as I'm not checking them every day already!)... might just go for it on Sunday though... better get me some surgical gloves because last time I frikkin stunk even after a shower!

Cheers mate. I've got a hydro-gro tent thats 1.1m(h) x 1.2m(w) x 0.65m(d) with a 400w HPS, carbon filter and a 125mm intake fan. As it was so cold here over Christmas I even had a small tubular heater in there overnight. The pots are 10 litre ones. I've not gone crazy on the soil, it's just...

Harvested my autos the other week (which are now curing nicely) and now I'm gearing up to my bagseed harvest. A couple of months back these were looking like they were about to die but thanks to RIU I was given the advice to repot them.... and look at them now...

Did you tell them you had problems germinating some seeds and they sent you some free ones!?!?! Surely they could just say 'Err, you're not allowed to germinate them.' I've had seeds that didn't germinate but I certainly wouldn't contact the supplier and tell them - you got balls!

I can pretty much guarantee you'll be on here offering the same advice to newbies in 3 months time if you get a HPS! Get the 250w HPS mate, you'll be shocked by the results compared to what you've done previously. I'm only just coming up to finishing my first proper indoor grow and I'm...

Don't get me wrong, CFLs are alright (especially for vegging) but when it comes to flowering a HPS will give you better & bigger buds. A 250w won't be that hot either, but you'll need to bring in fresh air into the tent anyway and could simply direct it at the light (that's what I do - works a...

BTW - I used a little bit of masking tape to hold the snapped stem together.... took it off after a few weeks.... she was right as rain then!!!

As long as it's not been completely detached from the plant you might be able to save it. I snapped my main cola stem about a week or so before flowering started and, now I'm a couple of weeks shy of harvesting, you'd never know it happened..... mj plants are incredibly tough and resiliant. Like...

I agree with what Zem is saying - get yourself a 250w HPS, when it comes to the flowering stage it will easily beat a load of CFLs. Long as you've got some extraction (very important to get yourself a carbon filter too) and air flowing in you shouldn't have a problem with heat. It's also...
