Won't get any drying info from me mate, i'm 2 odd years in and still working on that one :D Might have cracked it this time though, at the end of the day the slower th dry the better while keeping the posibility of mould in mind.

I'm perched on the corner of my bed, know if i try and move there's a hangover just waiting to jump me. I'm getting rather tempted by food as well though, tempted to experiment hollowing and stuffing a chicken breast, with smoked bacon! :)

Cheers robbie :clap:. only have 1or2 small problems and that 1 of my girls has some small yellow/brown spots which i think is nute lock or lack of nitrogen.Have had a good research and everyone has said remove leaves with spots and as so close to finishing don't bother messing with it as its only the one. If any of you boys think different give me a shout but apart from that for my first grow i am very impressed with NFT and a single 600w. just need to spread the light more evenly next time so all my girls finish at the same time :)

im thinking about NFT or some type of airpot for when im set up again. how easy was it to maintain ?
so easy mate i go in and top up every day or 2 depending on how hot its been and ph test and adjust every time i top up. I could probably leave for longer but as its first grow i want to keep checking it lol. We have the GT604 they say 10-12 plants but i guess only if you scrogging. I think we will get another and put 6 in each for better space and lighting :weed:

Not right now but if you wait for my battery's to charge i will take some tonight for you and post :). I started seedlings in the very small cubes about 1inch x1inch (just cut a small dip for the seed to sit) and then when they started showing roots i placed them inside 3inch x3inch (they just push into a precut dip in the rockwool). You should soak your rockwool before using most people say 24 hours in correct PH water but some say between 12-24, i soaked mine for 12 and all was good. Ph in NFT lot lower than soil at about 5.5-6 so having PH down is handy. I use Canna vega and flores A+B and Dr Hornbys Big Bud. Think Canna is PH neutral but Big Bud is'nt. From what I have read on many posts PH is one of the biggest things that will hamper your NFT grow but had no major problems yet :)

as for air pots mate, I have never grown with them but the place I got all my bits had chilli's growing in air pots and were massive plants. The guy told me he had never seen such growth with any other system but I have no idea how easy they are to maintain :)

exactly how I feel don, dogtits!
first time for cfl and stealthyness

iv only ever done grows with 400whps before,i just gotta keep it in a cupboard which is shite,really want a 600watter.

wouldnt mind tryin LED for stealth as ther is little heat compared to my fuckin gay big cfls which giv off a lot of heat

Lol, them cfls are fairly chunky alright! LEDs are just expensive as foo. Grifta seems to have done well with em though
