Thanks for the thoughts. My thought process was leaves look like they are 'burt' so I assumed nute burn but with the 7 ph it makes sense. I have lowered it to 5.8-6 and will see how it goes (along with 1/2 strength nute mix) how will I know if I am back on the right track? New leaves will be...

Hi all, I have attached some pics... Im pretty sure what I have done is over fertalise my the plants? they are smaller this year and I think that i went to full strenth (1400ppm i think? - my stick has what 'full' should be with the fert that i use) a little early for the size of the plant. I...

I am back, I have installed the 6500k's and a fan. However more have fallen over and i have looked at the stems and it looks like the stem have fallen over not because they are too long, but because the moisture has drained out of them. They are not round they are 'flat' in the spot that they...

Thanks everyone!!!! Just got back but got the 5000k ones, will go back and get the 6500's do they make t8 cfl's in 100w?? They all seem to be these small energy saving ones?? Back to hardware shop, and will get small fan, you guys are the best!!!

I did some more research and it looks like the grolux light is not that appropriate for seedlings, it's more for clones and veg? I will get a standard fluro globe for the box and see if that helps

Light temp you mean? I have no idea

There is a pic of the globes (there are 2) , they are fluro so no heat really comes off them I don't think. Should I get a small hps or incandescent or something? To generate some heat? I looks like the 2 globes are 16 watters from what I can see in the pic they are now at 4 inches from the...

The base of the pot was 8 inches from the light.. i have moved it onto a little shoe box to make it 4 inches. I have buried them now... and used a proper camera for the pics rather than an iphone ;) I guess i have a few questions 1) when will they start to 'take off', and exhibit some leaf...

Hi all, I need some help (or perhaps a LOT of help.. depeneds on what you say). I'll start from the start.... this is the 2nd lot of seeds that i have tried to germinate... the first set i tried in rockwool cubes in my clone box which was a miserable failure. So then i tried to put the seeds...

hmmmm perhaps but they'er only in about the height of the seed, so not that deep

Hi all, I germinated 10 seeds (5xwhite widdow and 5xbuddah cheese).. they all germinated in 24-48 hours using the paper towel method and i have placed them into their little rockwood cup things under a light. Of the 10 that I planted, only 1 has popped through and its been about 2 weeks now...

shorter.... when growing outdoor i put clones out in the last week of september 2 grows ago and they went to flower and didnt come out until december... last year (puled up a few weeks ago) i put them out on the 1st of november and they still went to flower (i believe they were bc big bud) and...

about the 12 hour mark... but according to the net its about 10 hours.

hey mate... thanks for the info... it wont freeze 'in' there as the greenhouse can be closed off completely so it wont frost i would think. The tent i would 'grow' them in is in the shed so the temp can be whatever i want it to be, but a heater in the greenhouse outside would be largely...

ive done some outdoor grows here in OZ and i use "professors' plant food. get it for any decent hydro shop. It's always served me well... just don't over do it and you'll be fine. pics look good, if you're getting nute burn i find giving them a 1/3 strength mix sucks out the existing food in...
