    PAR, LEDs and Organic Bio-dynamics

    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...

    PAR, LEDs and Organic Bio-dynamics

    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...

    PAR, LEDs and Organic Bio-dynamics

    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...

    PAR, LEDs and Organic Bio-dynamics

    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...

    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 (nearly killed the lot!), however the question as to whether MJ can be cultivted that way remains (I have...
