For your next seeds look into easy to grow strains like Nirvana White Widow, Northern Lights #5 or Pure Power Plant (PPP) for example. Those are non-autoflowering with good yields and plenty of potency.

Don't get too hung up on the times. I think the plants are taking longer to mature from the problems you had earlier. The times the breeders give are for ideal conditions so don't worry about it. Just get things the way they want them, and let 'em do their thing :thumbsup:
Ah ok cool, thanks for that. I absolutely love white widow. Any time I am in holland, that's about twice a year, I always get a few grams of whit widow, it's odd too as it's their cheapest one.

My concern was holidays, I started this with enough room to harvest a week or two before my holidays. I'm only taking one week, but not I am a little bit worried about them maturing past the harvest stage while I am away. Silly I know, but I am anxious :P

I have noted what I have done wrong this time and will be more aware with my next grow. Hopefully when it's time again, I will have the grow tent, carbon filter and cool tube.

So how many weeks do I leave them in veg stage before putting them into flowering? I would love to keep one as a parent and take clones from it. (normal seeds)

I have searched the net for some grow tents with extractor fans and I am wondering what you think.

I can get an 80 x 80 x 160 for about 100 euro. I think this would be the ideal size. Approximately how many plants could I get in that? I would be using a 400w HDS bulb. I am thinking between 2 and 4 average sized plants. There is also a 60 x 60 x 140 for about 70 euro, but I think that might be a bit small? With this I will be getting an extractor fan with carbon filter for about 60 euro and a cool tube (I looked at the thread on how to make your own but I lack the patients and skill to make it). I will only be growing for my own personal use. I would like variety in my tent so 4 plants max would be nice. I don't want a massive set up :P

Is there a difference between a hydroponics grow tent and a soil grow tent?


Thanks all for your help, it's great
