    Inflation

    Hi, I'm Australian. Inflation has increased far more than 5%. A lot of things are like double the cost (ie diesel and cabbages/veg). Others remain a similar cost. Best thing you can do to deal with inflation is buy bitcoin. Come at me. Let's compare bank balances. I was homeless 5 years ago...

    LED Selection Help

    Check the measurements etc but I always figured if I did a long thin grow, I would get an FC-E (not FC) and hack it up. I have an FC4800 and it rocks in a 3x3 dimmed down.

    Blumats. Who's using them?

    Straight up! Yeah clicks would be awesome. Edit: added some early root porn. This is literally a plant with root rot! Also, forgot to mention, I've added no aeration or stirring to the res since day 1. The only time I've noticed an air bubble in the line was at initial set up. No runaways as...

    Blumats. Who's using them?

    Medic, I have read reports that they can work sometimes but Billy summed it up well. Just get Tropfs in my opinion. And set them up 2 weeks in advance. You will come back to huge thriving plants. That will be a lot of reservoir size so make sure it won't be a disaster if you get a runaway. I...

    Pretty sure I won't be getting much nutrients from the tap water because the EC is only 0.06 or so. I'm thinking of using YaraMila Complex and see how it goes, maybe add some gypsum. So it would be the above, mixed into 3 gallon fabric pots of pure coco, fed via Blumats with a dead res...

    Seedlings under heavy lighting test

    Getting cool here too, under 10c sometimes. I had this crazy idea to remove the exhaust fan from the top of my veg tent so that that ducting now becomes the intake and the air flows directly onto the led driver and down. Then at the bottom, what used to be the intake duct is now the exhaust but...

    Blumats. Who's using them?

    Nice. Yeah just thinking about it, I feel like the more carrots and drippers you have, the more potential points of failure you're introducing. What kind of pot weights are people aiming for anyway? Comfortably plump I guess? Also, with the 8cm length of tube from the carrot, do many people...

    Blumats. Who's using them?

    Cheers JJ, I'm gonna ask around at the many irrigation stores here locally for a filter solution. And I just ordered a proper flood tray. So, the 2 plants on the left started dripping the first day and I haven't really seen them not dripping at all. It's like a constant drip maybe every 5...

    Blumats. Who's using them?

    Day 4 after setting the blumats and I just caught the first dripping! Very cool. Kinda surprised because the pot was still quite heavy but I guess dialage will come. Should I maybe tighten it up a smidge as part of said dialage? Or just lurk more and observe for now? As you can see I kept...

    Are there any dry products available on the Oz market that can be amended to coco and fed with water only and get a reasonable result at the end? I mean a single product, like a CRF. I've seen yanks using Osmocote Plus but we don't seem to have the same product here. I found another Osmocote...

    First photo plant

    That's a shame mate. On one hand you can leave them run a bit because it will take a while for seeds to form, but on the other hand, it may have been herming for a while. Tough call. I think you're handling it well.

    Seedlings under heavy lighting test

    Bro I got a 1.6x1.6ft tent too, lol. 50cm x 50cm. I thought I was the only one! It's my veg tent but I'm gonna upgrade one day. I love your escapades man. Can't believe you're growing in uni accommodation lmao. I just had my elderly parents visit for a few days. Ripped my tents down and hid my...
