Hi guys! Had some cultural issues but quick action (some improvements to air-flow etc.*), and Kukulus seems to have sorted out fusarium wilt (for I think this was "she"), some have been transplanted & moved until I'm sure there is no further need for quarantine. Something very unusual has...

This strikes me as a very good article (having searched some of the "avowedly" Bio-Dynamic sites), for it avoids any "unnecessary complications" not that "Lunar-Planting" is not a vast over-simplification of what true "bio-dynamics" (which is Astrology), is all about... Quote: "Lunar Cycle...

Neither am I an expert (one more came today), but I certainly had to take more care (I'm pretty convinced the first one will express male), but there was nothing wrong with my cultural practices (the only thing I was worried about a bit was the "nutes" in The Westlands but I read The Mandala...

Hi! This thread began on the hydro-forum but has since "morphed" and belongs here now..... Quote: "Ah yeah "ring-culture" pots are placed on a mixture of gravel and sand, that is the Arthur Bower's method but they are certainly useless indoors as they absorb moisture and promote mold...

Only 1/2 the Hashberries germed (although there is nothing wrong with the five I've got which are healthy, vital & expressing really well), and it is not the first time with them (NOT for the absolute novice). Think I'll tell Mandala I only got a 50% strike rate though (I'm not an idiot and have...

You are right though...look how much it has cost me to cover just over 0.25m2! Research is research though (& I'm pleased to be able to report "visible improvement in vitality" as it confirms that the PAR available to the plants is now correct), I may go all white panels eventually OR just build...

Deals done, headed that way to be more sustainable now I'm using 220w in 40/70cm chamber! Mandala Hashberry slow to germ but coming up now found they were a bit "fussy" before (having done Speed Queen, Safari Mix and a few others). My two "Cobra" reg. autos. were "out-of-the-gate" lika a storm...

I've already got my LEDs, I started out with 45w "GlowPanels" with U.S plugs and used them with 250HID with excellent results. My LED set-up is not cheap two Prakasa UFOs 90w each (one is triple the other 7 spectrum -£80-£90 each-), and one Cree (Good deal £15 plus fittings), thats £175 worth...

LEDs ARE the future (all cultural practices should be adapted to the pursuit of sustainable horticulture), the outside fitting has infact proven to be ideal although I have replaced the soft resin chain with a longer stainless one so that I can get the light "over the canopy" from seed to bud. I...
