Man I can't find anything about the contents of that bag either...guess the best information I found is this here

http://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?s ... 67741&st=0

I don't like the looks of that myocormax stuff..One thing for sure It's not something people commonly use for marijuana so I'd steer clear of it

I'd be more confident with the Westland...though by looking at it I can tell you it needs perlite

You should have thought out your soil mix before planting them though...it's not ideal to transplant for nothing...it stresses the plants and stalls their growth for several days to week or so.

Fox Farms is a really popular organic mix for marijuana

Eh ya we used to have a grow setup forum but at some point I merged it into the growing advice section when I added the new hash forum. I've often pondered over whether or not I should put it back. It wasn't really active in there but still it seems odd sometimes not having it...There's not too many grow setup threads though...we lost almost 3 years worth of stuff on these boards awhile back...you'll never see anything posted dated from 2008 or 2009 in here..the admin had a backup accident

What's a corker?

corker = good, well thought out.. im just considering building a speicalized grow room about 5m by 3m by 2m space to extend to 15/3/2m own 3KW external power supply (turbine fan), soundproofed, megalux anti infa-red cam foil ceiling & walls, exhaust vented into the chimney to cover heat..

Im just wanting to have it as covert as i can get it & im open to suggestion on how to do it...

Don't forget to think about fresh air intake as well as exhaust and maybe odor control if it's necessary for you

That infrared shit is pretty expensive so I hear

2-3k watts is a fucking lot of light and a rather large grow...much more than anyone needs for personal use

You could scale down your grow room size and use less lighting

I take it you are in a house and can do some construction and whatnot? Put up a partition maybe to reduce the area or something

If you do it right you can get alot of weed from a very small space

These 2 plants here gave me a yield of 2 ounces each...and as you can see they aren't very tall.

They key is using training techniques such as LST or topping etc to get the plants to bush out with multiple tops versus letting it grow naturally into the traditional 1 main cola christmas tree shaped plant

Check out the Training Techniques section on this page..have a look at topping, LST and Scrog mainly

If you want you could have a continual harvest... the best thing is to have 2 separate grow areas so you can have plants flowering and vegging at the same time. You could start off growing out your 3 strains, and once the plants have been sexed you can take clones from those plants. While the larger sexed plants are flowering, the clones can be vegging in the other room ready to go into flowering once the other ones are done. It's much easier and quicker to grow from clones than always going through the process of germinating and sexing plants from seed

hi Scarf, Im just trying to get the best i can the ballache about it is i look in one place i read that perfect temp is 70/75F i look in another & get 80/90F "like this"

The atmospheric temperature should be grown in a closet with temperatures in the 80's and 90's. However, the closer you get to the ideal temperature range, the better the buds and the less likely you are to get male plants.

talk about confusing what im after doing is creating as close to a perfect enviroment for them as possible

im needing correct optimal:

soil temperature.
Humidity levels.
Air temperature.

aswell as wether the nutrientss in the soil im using is slow release nutrients if so should i add faster release ferts

And everything i look at tells me a different storys lol, heads battered

I hope you don't have slow release in you soil...it's the best way to burn your plants. You need to be able to manually control and accurately measure the plants intake of nutrients
