Appologies, I havn't read the whole thread, but I'm sure that if the authorities want you they will get you no matter what you, I/we hide behind. One of the first things I read when I got a little interested in growing for personel use was, Not to tell anyone, but for some reason, I and you...

Very good Mr Grade I like :) this here bbc has caused me tears,,. but now, it's almost smiles. my first shot at them got me to around day 40 of flower when the bud rod set in so i chuked it away, painful. Now on day 58 of my second attmept at them and oh my god, the main buds almost the size...

Hi there, I'm not sure about reinventing the wheel but I can see where you are coming from as if to say, I'm certainly not trying to re write the grow book if you like. The main reason for my question is that in around 4 to 5 days the current grow will be done ( two plants ), I have just...

Thanks for the words of wisdom people, that's a little clearer now. So, could one presume that hanging upside down is not compulsory and if space and environment allow you could in theory let the plant sit in dry soil for a week or so to allow the plant to dry some with no detrimental affect...

Hi thanks for your time and help :) Is there actually any benefit to hanging upside down apart from maybe making space in the flower area? Does hanging upside down help the drying plant or change some properties within the plant? Say I took two clones from the same plant, vegged them for...

Hi all, I would like to know why you should hang your finished plant upside down to dry. Could you not get to the end of your flowering cycyle and just leave the plant the right way up in it's soil untill it's dry? Say you timed your waterings so that when your at end of flower the soil is...

You could indeed gut a fridge/freezer and use it, I haven't done it but I'm sure you could. Your fridge, so you want to gut it? If it has no refrigerant in the pipes your laughing. Just pull all the old bits you don't want, just watch the compressor if turned up the wrong way oil could leak...

I will sort your room for you, but, It will cost you, an ounce of bud, 4 pints of beer and a pot of tea and the cost of the air ticket if we be on different soil. j/k :)

Very interesting indeed, this thread may have just answered my wonderings too. I have a few leaves doing the same thing, forming a V and the leaves pointing up some. All looks healthy at this time, plants are due to be cut in around 3weeks, would it be worth me tying to fix the leaves or just...

I have had no end of trouble with timers and hps lighting. I think that your timer that doesnt switch off has the contacts melted some and welded together kinda indicating to me that the timer is well underpowered in terms of load carrying capacity compared to the load are asking from it. I...

Hi, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, been away from the pc for the weekend. The bulbs I picked up in tesco were 20w energy saver/cfl bulb 2700k warm white. Can't remember how much they were but they wouldn't of been that expensive else i wouldn't of bought them (im a bit tight you see) i...

Energy saver bulb, you will find them in homebase,b&q,wickes, i even picked up a bunch in a small tesco store, i just grabbed 6 of the highest wattage bulb they had and they are growing the chilli from seed very well. I did have to buy 6 lamp fittings and I also had to mount them on something so...

Were you sucking on a doobie when you posted that Mr Lizzard? :)

Hi, sorry to sound negative on your cooling idea (the picture in post #1) I believe this will not work well at all. Reasons being, you will need massive pressure/air flow to force the air through the cooling medium. The warm water will bubble with air and evaporate away quickly increasing...

Love and hate relationship with cheese for me at the moment. Had four big buddah fem cheese seed and grew to chunky buds. Noticed an odd smell in the room one week that went away after a day, a week or so later bud rot trashed three of them. Cut the one survivor a week or two early and dried...
