It's a magnetic ballast, makes a bit of noise but I don't have any comparison to tell if it's excessive/problematic. The globe has probably been handled but only used for a few hours, I don't know if storage contributes to any degradation in the meantime. But I'll pick up a new globe and see...

Hey guys, I'm an experienced outdoor grower, this is my first sincere attempt at indoor growing so I'm a newb in that respect. I purchased a Growlush 400w kit (lamp/ballast) with a cooltube about a year ago, tested it & everything was fine though I didn't have to room at the time to put it to...

200sxy: That sounds like a great idea. Where did you source the equipment? I'm having a lot of trouble even finding things at Bunnings. It seems like WA is missing out. Would be a great idea for the next grow though, I'm not sure if I can get anything bigger than the 60l bins I use for the...

http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/perth-swelters-in-the-summer-heat-20110225-1b8fh.html "20 consecutive days of temperatures above 30 degrees". Have to bow out of shrooms until it cools down... Pictures are at week 4 of flowering (Saturday), update is the mid-week check (done this...

Midweek check & everything looks good, the Trainwrecks & NL look great! My only concern is the large Kush (and starting to show on the WW), there's a lot of yellowing on the large (specifically lower) fan leaves to the point of them dying/crumbling off. I guess I'm lacking nitrogen so I might...

watchm3spec: Checked out your grow man, looking really good over there! I've heard a similar thing about Sativas, I've been looking into landrace strains recently trying to figure it out but decided on some Indica suited to dry/hot conditions (only for this additional grow). The things that...

Blazn: Let me know how those solar pumps go. It sounds ideal, would really like to try one myself. I'm curious about 2 things: can you run them off a timer? and are they loud (as it's dead quiet where I am, so any sound is potentially amplified by comparison). The timers are run from 2 AAA...

Plot 1: White Widow (about 5.5 feet, week 3 flower) Master Kush (also about 5.5 feet, stems broke apart (wind I guess), tied them back together with a horizontal splint at the division) Plot 2: White Widow (about 5 feet high, week 3 flower) Master Kush (about 4 feet high) Lemon Skunk...

I'll do this in 2 parts (having some issues with the site or connection). I've got a new camera, so time for a decent update. At the moment it's week 3 of flowering, the only issue recently has been losing the final Lemon Skunk (last week). Heat stress seems to be a real issue on these as I've...

I was considering the same thing (solar pump), I wasn't too sure how they work & how reliable they would be (the few I looked at were from China, I was concerned there could be issues during the grow). I'm thinking of testing one during winter & if it were to work out well enough then use it for...

The plants are still coming along, a few issues with the camera but everything's starting to flower, Plot 2 is lagging behind but they're starting to stretch. By Easter I'm hoping it's all done. It's hot as fuck here, days are reaching into the mid-30's a lot of the time, water is becoming an...

Hey guys, I'm into week 1 (or 2) of flowering with my guerilla grow, I was planning on using Manutec "Bloom Booster" as it seems to be the standard recommendation for use in Australia and the NPK (6.19 - 14.64 - 16.80) seems ideal. Anyway, it's been hard to find in WA (not stocked in Bunnings...

Thanks for the comments guys & sorry about the lack of updates. Really busy at the moment and these plants are just going through the motions... A lot of these have shown pre-flowers and a few budsites so they'll start flowering soon. On that note, I have no experience at flowering these...

Missed some updates, everything is running pretty much as expected. Plot 3: Top RH - NL 5 x Haze, the other 2 - Trainwreck Plot 2: Master Kush (replacing the old Critical +) White Widow Lemon Skunk Purple Power Different leaf characteristics: White Widow Lemon Skunk Plot 1...

I don't have any decent photos, but here's a quick video to give an idea of the flow (with only a gallon of water in the reservoir). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl9sFs2-Yts For nutrients I'm using liquid Manure/Blood & Bone/Seaweed/Fish Emulsion mix (covers basically the whole spectrum)...

The last plot is in place! This has definitely been the biggest pain in the arse out of all of them. It's taken three days of consecutive work; the main issues being that the ground is ladden with rocks. I could hardly dig a single hole deeper than a foot before coming across some 1/2 sqr-metre...

It's strange, but pollination might be a problem in the area. Not that there's anything native, but I've heard of a few local outdoor growers having seedy buds without any male plant in sight. The shit I'm smoking at the moment is seedy as fuck, but still 'good'... I can only hope for...

Here's what I've been playing around with at home: NL x Haze Mist & Trainwreck 2 random Trainwrecks, happened to get fucked up in the heat a few days ago... I've had plants in worse condition come back so I'll leave them for now and see how they go (never had real plans for these but the...

Plot 1 This is going from strength to strength, responded well to some fertilizer & developing all round, the stems are becoming thick/solid, all new growth is looking very healthy. A lot of the old lower leaves are yellowing out which I guess can be expected, I assume keeping up with more...

The timer is actually really nice and simple, I was surprised beyond my expectations. The pressure could be minimal as fuck, literally the valve opens up and water starts flowing solely from gravity itself (ie: pressure doesn't have any effect on the valve, even if you connected a 600ml water...
