My setup is a cupboard which I built from batons and hardboard, it is lit by a 250w HPS and has a bathroom extractor fan and a small desk fan. I grow the plants in multi-purpose compost. The strain I'm growing is Afghani.


Just some pics of my setup-


Well GTC21 (I wish you would have told me a name to use.....Bob would have done )

Mine is all very basic .............soil home made compost, never buy shop stuff, I have a bin which takes all the garden and kitchen scraps.
Lights 400 watt Metal Halide which I run on a 19 hour cycle for vegative growing. Reducing to a 12 hour cycle for inducing usuing a High Pressure Sodium bulb .............eventually reducing down to 11 hours light over time.
I start induding at about 24 inches.
Noramally I have ok results but the last crop just got wiped out...........some kind of blight is the only reason I can think of, up untill then I have 6 years of trouble free growing.
This variety I am not sure they come from some one I trust who assures me it is very good skunk.

By the way I have grown Afghani before.......very nice
