@CreX, fingerer of soils, "how deep do you need to go before you can feel moisture on your finger?"

I can give u guys more info if needed Take your total watt usage. X factor of 3 for safety. That value = wattage of inverter required Example. 500w total power including lights. Heaters. Fans. Etc. X 3 for safety. ( surge watts) 500x3 = 1500w Size of inverter 1500w Then for the battery. Minumium requirement "Deep cyle" Lets assume a 12v battery is used. And lets say you want to run your 500w for 4 hours. 500x4/12 = 167 ah 500w - 4 hours - 12volts - 167amp hour battery ( batteries usually come commonly between 100 - 110ah ) So best to get 2 x 100ah batteries. The more shit u wana run. The bigger the inverter required. The more longer u wana run the shit. The bigger the battery required. Hope this helps guys.

@Newbie_2020@StickyD420 Okay cool, will get it done tomorrow and have it up by the night. I'll try my best to keep the cost at a minimum[emoji1362] Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Gorillas UN-Burbled ^^ I turned the light off and made a few pictures to see how they are doing. More pure water ^^ is a bit very green hehehe but rest.. aren't those sexy bitches?!?! Still week 9

okay sweet, yea then you have all the info you need. no need to beat a dead horse anymore hehe i generally wait till its dry down to the 2nd knuckle before i water. is a bit of a dig, and i would try use the same hole for the next feel so i dont poke my roots too badly. the knuckle test works better than the weight test for soil applications where even the dry medium is pretty heavy

If I may add mine too... I run my 1000w draw off it for 6 hours and made coffee too over dec with power off 3 times that day, at 2 hours each time. 3kva with 4x 105ah heavy duty

Ya, like oil and water Nah I joke, but you cant lie and say it's not entertaining, and I see you too... You also enjoy a good laugh

Let's not Jack another thread and start something here too... You know I'm dying here

Okes got to prove himself first I dont just stalk anyone, well not straight away at least Very true brother man

You guys keep giving me ideas on what to spend money I don't have on. Lmao But dope shit. I've know about this tech for a while, seen it online very often. I'm glad more people are noticing it. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

@StickyD420 @Ill_Evan Thanks gents, I like to be in control , maybe a bit OCD some may say. So like the recommendation, will be looking into this definitely.

I just built an auto watering system for my grow. Not entirely auto, still have to mix nutes and connect the pipes, but once that's done I just open a tap and it will empty the container into the soil... Provided I leave the container higher than the pot its watering. Also have one of those 5L plastic bottles that you can pump up to spray out the contents with pressure. Managed to modify it so I can connect the piping - this way the bottle doesn't need to be higher than the pot because the pressure pushes the water up the pipes anyway. Made it with some 5mm pvc tubing, a few dippers and valves, and some hot glue (for the container that's not pressurised). The 5L bottle simply involves unscrewing the main pipe and replacing some parts. Anyone want me to create a thread on how to do it? Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

I'd also gladly add any cuts I have to this. I dont keep moms too long. I'm cycling through too many plants, and if I had to keep a cut of each, I'd be spending all day maintaining a veg forest. Just because a plant isnt a keeper for me in terms of breeding, doesn't mean it's a crappy plant. So I'll have clones randomly as time goes.

Aaaaw, surely not. I'm sure if you got a cutting you could work with it as per usual, but obviously you wouldn't be able to replicate the grow without receiving another cut, and you probably wouldn't have a mother to send cuttings to others. I mean, this is a closed group, I'd like to think we're here cause we lekker and want to play. In fact, I'll happily send you a cutting when I establish my mother plant in the next grow. I am planning on mothering a Gorilla Zkittles from Barney's Farm and I will be selecting the mother from 8 seeds. So if you're keen, let me know at the time. I think this right here is wonderful

2 weeks later, top clones taken. Given the first STS spray to a single branch, marked in the pic. Going into 12/12 from tonight. The GTH male is coming on slowly. Flowering him outside so the temps are affecting him.

@Bakstein420 down another rabbit hole I go, lol this is definitely on the list now. What a slick product

The future bro

I battery though. Aint got a operation like u going.

[emoji23] [emoji23] It just happens bro, trying to behave here now Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

You two are dangerous.

Ohh lovely. We shall wait.

Jissy, my man Was about to say to the previous comment, Pictures or it never happened??? And then joke and say a video log /report... Then you absolutely went and killed it and owned the hell out of this thread with this comment

Top class!! many thanks dude.

Sure, will get them to you shortly bro. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

For sure [emoji1303]... Will try to make a video as well if possible. I'll also have a parts list and pricing for you guys. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

In the posters case, 2x batteries as its 24v Fortunately have that load and discharge protection, helped once when I had 2x batteries. Brother, with your skills, you can make these and sell them

A press can be built for far cheaper than it can be bought if its just for personal stuff bro. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Very good point and I’m sure your right and I’m sure that flavor and hit are something else. I’m just looking into this all now, I’ve know and heard about dabs and just recently looking into making better use with my off cuts and sifting drew my attention which brought dabs up for interest. But I guess if your growing and you can push out some honey every now and then, it’s only a treat and a reward for your amazing grow. It’s also got me thinking I’ll try and push a few different strains if I do find the cash to start this journey and get a press, but that would be cool to have like two or three different strains to dab after harvest instead of one. Anyway I’ll keep my eye out until the right price finds me I guess. like how were those prices on imports, can you imagine the cost of shipping on goods with Carona.

I just thought a veg area would be needed to get cuttings to a decent size. Members without a veg area could arrange cuts in time for a new run. Sorry about the misunderstanding @Bakstein420 , u are by no means outa the game. Having mother plants is also not a necessity, just encouraging those who would like to share. Yeh well said man, not a necessity to have a mother setup to play. @1000Hills Nursery aggreed to share out some of the cuts that i sent him, and I think is also happy to share some of his stuff with members. I'll also do my best to send out cuts when i got some available. This is awesome bro! Shot, the more guys sharing cuts the better the forum standard will become. Super stoked, happy grows my owes!

Yes please, love those type of threads.

Shot @Ill_Evan, As I said post comment, I realised the mistake, but was to tired to edit the post and just said "oh well" I remember the carrot yes Must look into those though, but enjoy my time with the girls in the morning

Have a look at Blumat systems and Autopots. Those are pretty much the bog standard auto watering systems being used these days. I believe @PsyCLown makes use of the Blumat tropf system and I'm sure he will vouch for it. That would be the Blumat system with the carrot sensors

You're welcome to start it wherever. If it's horrendously out of place I'll just move it.

Hi, welcome back What lights are you looking at? Loads of advice here for you, guys know there shit here Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Day 26 flowering - buds starting #2 #6 Day 16 flowering - no buds yet #3 Group shot

i am very keen to play the game - hows it gonna work?

Hi. Pardon late response. Moved house. Hopefully start outdoor, weather permit and location. But, the C19 , thrown things around so much. Might move again Looking into diy leds. But dont want to make mistake and pay too much school fees. Lots to learn and possibly make a mistake or wrong purchase. Probably better to rather spend on a branded reputable entry level light. ? Hopefully something will materialize

thats pretty much it @StickyD420, root zone issues but it could be ph, or rot from over watering, or hot soil

Appreciate everyone`s input as always.

I had seen that what looked like a FIMing Plant looks happy other than the old growth being eaten as it needs that nutrients for the new growth I guess and take that as a sign that the roots are not able to do their job from an imbalanced soil pH or watering?

some questions here. looks like your new growth has been eaten? and your leaves are a bit shiny, did you spray the plant with anything? and a plant this young should not have any issues in a medium that large. the medium does look a tad wet but not sure whats up. for info sake, what is your PH? do you ph?

Agreed, will wait for Friday. Will just monitor and hope this did not cause any damage.

Biggest new grower mistake, I too made this mistake myself, so I know all too well... Is over loving your plant to death with water.

Can't remember who but someone uses it along with a wall heater. I also use it with my heater.

U right bro. Those batteries dont go lower then a certain amount. If u not getting the required power for the requires time. Then all u do is add another battery. Extend the duration

My tap water has a ppm of 79 and I use the soft water ghe. No issues at all. I also don't care much for letting my water sit or specifically airing it before I use it - I gets throw into my res, nutes mixed and that's that. Connected to the automatic watering system. There are airstones inside the res though to help move the water around a bit etc. The plants get fed with that water basically straight away. I personally wouldn't bother with organic nutes in the Formula 1 mixture. I'd also prefer plain coco over the F1 mix. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk
