Just read chemist's GWS report: few questions raised: My GWS are 8 wks into veg. yet are only about 1/1.5 ft. tall ( soil base to tip)

Only using 250w. envirolite, 1st timer, compost+vermiculite medium, and just Formulex nutrient and some really cheap (99p) fertilising sticks.

3 plants only from fem. seed(Greenhouse seeds): one is even smaller-only about 1/2ft. tall: I FIM'D THAT 'UN, AND step pruned thew other two (ie removed fan leaves alternately in stair pattern to allow more light to penetrate)

All plants look really healthy but i'm a bit concerned about their compactness, temperature is fine, cannot measure humidity, just white paint on walls(airing cupboasrd), and a clip-on desk fan to circulate air

would much appreciate advice (I know my set up is far from ideal,but I am totally skint £100 invested so far) especially ideas on organic feeds, increasing yields etc.)

Dont think I FIM'd the small plant correctly, but it is a bit more bushy than other two.

worst thing to do mate, leave your fan leaves on

do you have extraction and intake fans and most importantly a carbon filter? these are all must haves and the first two will increase yeild and plant size.

no, no, and no m8.

trying to do a first run spending as little as poss. while hopefully learning tricks of trade, will use money saved from crop (I smoke a lot,and therefore spend alot at present) to invest in next grow

smell okay for now room isnt totaally air tight , open windas for air and holes in floor for extra vent (temp. ok)

U think its lack of CO2? or just low wattage and bad management? (ie. pruning fuck-ups?)

Greetings Slow-motion-boy,
It may be of help to some to the more learned heads on here if you were to fill in your profile, and to add some pics if it is possible m8

Peace and one love

Aareet Buff? Amended profile, but for some reason it wont accept that i'm male and keeps re entering "not telling" in the gendre box Oh well, as long as my babies dont follow suit and turn into hermaphrodites!
Hope this helps, cannot do fotos yet as dont have a digi camera,maybe l8r on

Ta in advance for all help and advice, and Stay frree, stay mellow!

Poppin oot for a quick cone now, back shortly

without adequate ventilation you'll be lucky to get a crop at all and even if you do manage something it will be a pitiful amount, you need airflow simple as that, plants like all other living things need to breath fresh air.



even if you just use a few cheap arsed PC fans it'll be better than nothing but you need something or you'll be screwed, I don't think a desk fan is really man enough and you really need something drawing air into your growspace.
