Cool idea, Tim, looking forward to seeing how things work out. oobe might be right though, how cool is your cooling air? Summertime might be a royal pain in the ass. Growth just slows right down above 32 I think, and the tops get fried and crispy. What about a 250, or a dimmable ballast...

Using 400w hps in cooltubes in a v low space, already doing all i can to reduce the height, the lights are as high as they can be, so its topping, training, v. short plants, just 1 foot tall. But even with the cooltubes, heat is a big problem, and the light and heat intensity at the tops of...

Alright Luc, your dead right about the rip-off prices for grow kit here, dunno about dig itself, but any of the ones I've been in are charging silly money. If you can have gear shipped from the UK, then Grotec seem to offer better prices even than other UK outfits, and they have a huge range...

If you train it using one of those plant clips near the top with garden wire attached to tie that down a few inches lower each day. If you put a ring of wire around your pot, you can tie the training wires to that. This way you can train all the branches out, splayed so that the buds along the...

Lads, you might have seen this already, though I wouldnt say there too many of us watching the late late on a sat night, found it on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXi8OG0jCz8 Howard Marks and Rhys Ifans interviewed by uberwanker himself, Ryan Tubridy. Rhys Ifans takes the almighty...

I think youre on the money with all of that Harrekin +rep, peroxide is the way to go, lash it in there, forget enzymes and all that, the peroxide will knacker them anyway, but it takes care of all the nasties that might want to move into your roots, adds oxygen to them, and breaks down into...

Stepped outside the party to a quick roaster of delicious euphoria from DP, thought of the lads on roi, so just wishin yez all a happy new year, hope yer all havin a good one, and if not, fuck it, tomorrow is a different year. :) Prof

Howya Mick, funny you say that, talking to a grower friend last week over in England, and he was saying that the freeezing temps are working wonders for his cooltubes, so that his box is so much easier to keep at the right temps. Hes always having trouble with the temps nudging over the 30...

A shit load of those 21watt cfls i meant. :)

Youd need a shit load of those to get a harvest worth your while Id say. Theres 80 watt spirals for 12 quid or thereabouts at avocalite.ie, they send them to you for a couple of quid, thats good value, and theyre 6500K, just what you want for good leaf and shoot growth.

Howya Jay, looking good man, how about circles of black plastic (cut out of a heavy duty binliner say) instead of tin foil? Not sure about the metal on the soil like that. And the plastic will insulate the soil, keep it humid, and cos its black it will absorb heat and warm the soil too...

Alright matrix, how u getting on, nice setup u got there, looking forward to seeing how u get on. What u growing in?

A large cardboard box with strings across near the top to hand the branches off works great, keep the lid closed but not sealed, and in a not too cold room and they should be dry in about 7-10 days, depending on how damp/wrm the room is, and how big the buds are. You know theyre done when they...

Any luck Mick? How are your girls doing?

get up and grow are off capel street, on a side street parallel, or nirvana has a couple of shops around town, sth anne street is the most central. But you might be able to get the air pump in an aquarium shop, and maybe the pH meter too, I dunno. Get up and grow seem to carry the most stuff...
