So this Friday I gave the girls a Microbe/Molasses/ground Barley airated tee. Today they received a Stinging Netle FPJ. Must say they look gorgious and my scrog net is getting to full but I can only flip to flower the weekend. Question - is it possible to top the bigger branches to buy time and space, or should I keep the main branches Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Week 2 flower under the @Liontree Supernova 320 (40%)

Day 12 in dome

Flip Day The outside plant isn't doing too badly either, should probably put her in a bigger pot though. She's already about a week or so into flowering.

Another quick update: Coming along nicely, the smaller girl had some minor tip burn from being straight in the fan's line of fire, I moved the fan and light up a bit and she seems fine now. The little OG survivor I found outside is exploding with new growth as well:(Hope it's a female ) I also slapped together 2 Arduinos I had lying around with temperature and humidity sensors and can now monitor both my tents on the Bynk app It holds on to the data as well, so you can monitor changes over time. It's just quick and dirty for now, I will make them neater and solder and print waterproof cases for them later, I also want them battery powered maybe.

Week 1 flower under the Liontree Supernova 320 (40%)

Brother, no need to thank me, When your plants look like that, or let's rather say, if mine looked like that, I'd be sleeping so easy at night. Yes sir, those main lower, not the weak ones as you mentioned, you want those branches going as wide from now, all the way through the 3 week flip, the LST training of them under the net, all way till proper flower in that 3rd week of 12/12. Then you want to stop and you'll be as even as you'll ever be without removing them.

[emoji120] Thank you[emoji120] What I have noticed in the past is that the main branches that tug underneath the net always outgrow the lower thinner ones that just go strait through the net, even with a even canopy when I switch. Il just tug the big ones a little lower this time and we can see how even it is after the stretch. Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

They looking amazing my friend

Yes boooiii, 3 x that 150w in a 1mx1m space will toast your ladies. I am running a 50w in a 80cm x 80cm space and plants are happy! Again this is 50w, got 4 plants under the thing. 2 of them and you'll be flying, bro. No doubt.

Watsup man. Great idea. Except I think 450w of that light in a 1x1m tent is alot of light. For vegging I think you'd only need 1 to be honest. I have 3 50w that I use in my 1.2x0.6m tent. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

..and so we come to our first little hurdle! I made a mental note this morning to triple check whether taping up the power indicators on both the Sonoff switch and heater would prevent any internal light leaks within the tent. Turns out the tape did sweet nothing. Popped an eyeball into the tent and not only could see the light indicators shining right through the plastic, but the heater itself glows surprisingly bright from the heating element. Temperature during the day should be fine now though, so I'll just run the lights as planned during the night and lights off during the day, and just remove the entire heating setup. Should also save me a couple bucks on electricity. Luckily it's only the first dark cycle so zero harm done. I will definitely need to sort a solution for when I replace the HID lighting with LED, especially for Winter next year. Thinking a heating panel with a Sonoff switch should do the trick. Got plenty of time to sort that out. Other than that, I've cleaned out my carbon filter and need to replace the pellets. The old pellets were doing nothing for the smell after a year's worth of cleaning my air

Was on special for R245 for the 3 pack! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I thought I’d give budbuddies a try and bought a 3 pack of Green House Seeds super lemon haze. Ordered yesterday afternoon and received now. They also sent me a poster, a sticker, catalogs and rolling papers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Harlequins Moved outdoor from 24 hour vegging... Cooling off in the shade, get them accustomed to their new home. Staking and cleaning up off bottoms together with light defoliation Day 8 since cloning these gals and they have already started to root.

Evening all, I have a winter attempt under way. It is an attempt as you have to take your chances with the storms. I used the same soil, in the same drum (25 litre) again. I will take a pic or 2 in the morning. These are the last of the blueberry pics in the gallery. The least blurry I blame the phone every time Ready for the chop Raised bed seed project. Spare clones deserve a chance too. Skunk #1 on the left and blueberry on the right side. I filled 3 coffee jars with bud and had a fat bag of skit left over. The 3 jars didn't last long into lockdown but I kept the trim curing at the back of the cupboard. Seedsman skunk pollinated with a male from the same pack and also a blueberry male from the dutch passion pack. I harvested my little seed crop and collected 40 seeds of skunk x skunk, skunk x blueberry, blueberry x skunk, blueberry x blueberry.

Hey brother, I just see problems, those plants are not happy, they dont like that light and you should sell it to me Haha, only playing. They look amazing, and if I am correct to say you are just right as you are, dont cut anything other than lower branches that dont get light much, they steal from the big buds production and right now, you need to LST the branchs under, in and out that netting. Keep the canopy as even as possible without snapping branches, Your grow is spot on man Added, I also pre flower pistols, age is perfect for flip the weekend

awesome stuff and thank u very very much, all the help I can get will b much appreciated

Thanks for the kind words. Once you have some beanz popped and start posting the progress, the 420sa fam will be here to assist... Be it growing related or even just equipment related.

Dont wanna keep hogging the thread :P but was thinking 1 rope ratchet each so that they can be moved up and down on their own to optimise spread and coverage.

big strong healthy roots

Will do , I will plant in 2 weeks or so

Yes, 3 of those 50w's seem more appropriate, but then why not just go for the 150w for R390?3 x the 50w will set you back R570. +/- R180 difference.

@Ill_Evan They are looks amazing bro, keep it up

https://www.acdc.co.za/pages/product-individual?FL-150W-CW See these are on sale now , thinking of grabbing me 3 and seeing how they perform in a 1 x 1 m tent

@afternoon blazer Hey bru, Thank you so much for all your advice will definitely check them out

I haven't... That seems like a better idea. Thanks bro. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

@CreX high tea this brother up man.

Pink Mango Gelato. Look at this mofo. Like how the F#$* do u respond to that shit. @Ill_Evan Waiting on that girl.

@afternoon blazer I see what you did there, so this is actually the 150w from acdc we're speaking of? Those are good temps, yeah! Do you carry the plant out in the sun each day? That's dedication!! @ORGANinc. Let me know how the light runs! I guess either way I'm getting one! I literally just put my digikey order through, gona put something special together for my 1mx1m flower space. Then use the blurple just for veg and I have to say it's quite a nice light. Apollo 8, said to be 300w but true wattage is around 240. Plants explode once they go from this light to the blurp. So when I get this flood light I'll just keep it in this "grow box". Once I got the new light running gona spoil myself with a new tent, can't wait!!

Plants are looking great bro. Im in the freedom farms premium soil at the moment. Looking good Im probably gona only grow autos for the next few grows.

That's new thread material bru. Put one up.

My progess thus far, just replanted. 24, cannatonic, Jack Horror Under 150w LED flood Need to expand to flowering cupboard just waiting on grow light to arrive ,hence last plant still in cup. Topped 3 so far Sent from my SM-A605FN using Tapatalk

Spot onnn

Some better pics of the mainline structures. just for @afternoon blazer these girls are beefy and the structure should be able to hold any sized colas they can develop, unless I get some freaks of nature that is.. we can only hope. I think I will be flipping tomorrow and throwing in the daddy 400W HPS bulbs. Also good to note, everything up until now has been under 250W MH bulbs (minus the soil plants of course, strictly speaking the mainlined plants). So you could comfortably grow 2 plants and mainline both of them under a single 250W for veg. This was secretly a little test I wanted to conduct to see if one could do it and I think the 250W bulbs get a bad rep, but if it's all you got for veg, I'd have to say don't stress

That's my soil mix. By no means a rigid recipe either. Many items can be replaced by other similiar items. The reason all the ingredients are in there is to grow cannabis.

Small update, not too much to show. Still focusing on building the manifolds of the DWC plants. The two on the left are struggling to catch up to the bigger ones which are begging for the 400W bulbs but I don't want to increase power until they are somewhat more similar in size. At some point I'll have to just make the flip. Soil ladies doing real nice. I did take one Skywalker OG and started flowering her outside and take her inside for the evenings so she doesn't get too cold. I felt like having 5 plants under a single 250W QB was one plant too many.. plus I didn't feel like repotting her also just curious to see what happens.

Just be patient bro, this effing cold slows everything down.

A cloning tutorial on how to back up plants before flip 5 Harlequin seedlings and cloning gear In a few dayz these will be flipped. Should any of these impress me we will be able to regrow it in the future.

@Bospatrollie2 @Dank Thank you guys for the kind words. What makes this special is the fact that both you guys are top growers doing your thing in style... And I mean style beyond most here know...

This is what happens after a good clone sesh...

4 weeks old... Hang in there little ones...

3 weeks old and asking to be transplanted...

awesome news man! glad i could help

Fokus on the new growth, that will tell you what's happening. I agree with@CreX just let them grow for a week or 3 and then start with topping or/and scrogging PS - good watering tip you got from Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Depends what training you going for. I think they are a bit small still for Lst. I would rather keep it simpler this run and maybe just top some of them to create a nice even canopy. Lst is a pain in my opinion... Much better results can be obtained using a scrog net of sorts... But for now, just let them grow so you can see how they turn out and so you can learn a few things for the next run

its typical transplant shock that they are going through. i wouldnt train them at all yet - rather wait for vigorous growth to resume they look alive and thats what counts. Dying plants look like they are dying, and yours dont look like they are dying

Let them settle in. They take about 3 to 4 days to settle into new soil.

Lol, thank you for making it a soft blow.. I guess the stress was a bit too much. It was a female seed, and a freebie at that. Its a pity it took so long to show sex, I could've vegged the Inzane out a bit more Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
