I'm already getting some decent advice It does often get better results.

I did notice it feels a bit ancient around here lol.. the unsecure icon in the URL bar makes me feel a bit uneasy too It obviously works for what it is, no complaints here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Know Betterer Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 @roliowelcome home mate, whats your reason for growing? How much do you need to smoke? I grow personal meds 1.2x1.2 tent I put 9autos in 10L pots every grow continuously and that just about covers my needs. Good luck with your growing man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost went LED but the £750 price tag for 650w put me off for now. Then I gather I'd need a heater for sure.. I'm hoping the HPS will produce enough heat, yet to figure out if 24/0 will be enough by itself. I know I'll need a heat mat for the roots either way to be on the safe side. Good to hear you're running 4 plants in that space too, the dude at my local shop said the yield would be much the same if I had 9 or 4 with the equipment I bought! 5 hours ago, Should Know Betterer said: @roliowelcome home mate, whats your reason for growing?

Good luck with your growing man Medical for a family member who is too scared of doing themselves and also a bit for myself.. I also like the idea of it as a hobby! I've always been a bit interested in gardening and delicate plants but have no real experience. The dude i was speaking to in my local shop said the yield would be similar if I had 4 or 9 in there.. have you had experience with smaller number of plants, maybe in bigger pots? I plan on going straight to final pot in Coco.. maybe 10l first time to see how it does then adjust depending on results. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Should Know Betterer Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Best thing you could do mate is look on the appropriate forums ie coco soil Hydro autos regs etc and you will get all the info you could hope for, you could even post up any specific questions you may have in there too, they're not too keen on grow details on this particular thread just a hello I'm here I'll see you on the forums type thing intro, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started off ordering a complete kit and upgraded to a rhino pro filter over the hobby one and went for a digital ballast. I'm doing it in a 120x120 tent with a single 600w hps. Im just trying to find solid info to help me choose a tube heater as I plan on doing 18/6 in a space with a really low ambient temp. Im at the point of trying to find out what speed controllers/ thermostats to use. Also what pots... I'm planning on doing 4 autos and ive seen people use everything from 6.5l to 25l! There is so much info to go through and the search function doesnt always bring up what im after Not an auto grower but noticed you mention low ambient temp and 18/6 lighting. Think autos can have 24 hours light which would solve your low temps. Might find over summer you can grow photos and winter if it's too cold, autos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolio Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 @bushdoc cheers mate, I'm all set up and going now on week 3 18/6 is working ok, heater doesn't seem to have to work too hard. I've got a diary going if you wanna give me any pointers there 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already made lots of use of the info on the forum seems like a good community here. I look forward to learning a lot more and sharing what I achieve, or don't lol. Hi. I'm running a couple of autos this year. Outside hopefully. Looked at your profile & noticed you are doing a hydro grow in a tent the same size as mine. So if you do a diary I'd be interested in following. What lamp are you running? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
