about 2 weeks, I'm writing off the Lotus head x wilson this is an unknown pheno, which is already too stretchy for me. Will probably just clone the crepes and the GG#4. The Wilson X slurri is dominating with her compact structure, may also clone her, but still got seeds.

Plants want to stay in an environment with constant temps and not to big a temperature swing. My environment is less than Ideal but the plants seem to be ok. I would just start growing and deal with stuff when the time comes.

Uhmm I dont know hey, these plants always do weird things. Ya reusing soil is the best, now im always going for bigger if I'm not sifting through genetics.

I realised I never did a final tally on that last batch, been long enough that I can probably give a full report. friend asked for photos of the Frosted Apricot, came here to look at what I posted, but nothing... so here goes. starting with the smallest girl Frosted Apricot - Inhouse Genetics Total Yield = 32g + 6g popcorn. Terpenes are almost non-existent the plant never really got to see the light, I completely neglected her from the start hence the low yield. chopped a whole lot of her away to make space for the other plants. I will say however the weed is kak strong, just not the most enjoyable smoke, that's why I am running her again and paying more attention to her this time. Buds are quite big, but that could just be cause I stripped her so much and tried to only leave the tops. Buds are nice and dense and just as the name suggests, quite frosty! Blueberry Hashplant - Bodhi Seeds Total Yield = 65g + 10g popcorn. Terpenes are getting stinkier by the week. When I first harvested this lady I immediately told myself she'll be dropped from the rotation, purely based on smell. the looks and high was there, just didn't smell or taste right. had a smell, but wasn't tooo fond of it, after spending some time in jars, cured to 62% and stored away, opening the jar after about a week it made the whole room stink. I get a strong fruit smell, not sure what fruit, but a sweet/sour smell. Buds look a little on the airy side, but they're hard as a rock, solid buds, have shown her, but will add the photos to complete the thread. Deluxe Sugarcane - Inhouse Genetics Total Yield = 222g + 16g popcorn. Terpenes are phenomenal. Just an offensive smell of slightly burnt sugar. couldn't say if that's just my mind and the name playing tricks on me, but the best way to describe it, my sister loves to bake and some recipes require melting down sugar, the smell I get off the buds are the same smell I get when there's some sugar being heated up on the stove or even the smell you get from blow torching the sugar layer ontop of a creme brulee. Nice strong smoothe smoke, lets you know you smoked some strong weed as soon as you exhale you're high and the taste lingers in your mouth, which I love! Buds are also rock solid, makes a wood on wood contact sound when dropping a nug on the table, being stacked so tightly even the smaller nugs weigh over a gram her nudes.. Summary Plant Count = 5 Total Yield = 350g Average Per Plant = 70g Light = 300w samsung DIY G/W = 1.166 Space = 1m x 1m x 2m

@The Grass Baas I feel you man, I'm also playing with the veg time with the big tent. I also want to focus on how thick the actual canopy will be too, because I also have a similar situation to you where I want bigger plants to produce bigger buds. My additional reasoning is to also keep an ideal and efficient canopy that doesn't draw away too much energy from the main nugs, but also so that the popcorn nugs as many as they might be, are also well developed. I want airy popcorn nugs to be at an absolute minimum. @ORGANinc. shap shap, I'm also thinking next week'ish for flip.

Hello good people It's important to never learn from some of your mistakes. Against my better judgement, instead of a tent I decided to build something with all the spare bits and pieces I have lying around. As is always the case it's been more work than expected but unlike most of my projects it's definitely coming in more cost effective than the tent. So far cost has been just over R300 and now I have storage space above the room. Usually these things end up costing more than what I could've bought it for in the first place however! Sometimes you just gotta keep banging your head against a wall until you get a different result which is what happened this time. Cheap, pretty sure it'll work ok but still got lots to do. dims: 100 x 170 x 220 I've put a pic of progress so you have a visual and can hopefully answer a couple q's: 1 - I was going to put a square wall heater into the room. Should I be concerned about radiant heat? I can't imagine it's a good thing. Where do you guys put the heater? I was thinking against the room wall on the near end. 2 - I have a TD200 silent bathroom extractor fan that I don't need under my house anymore. It's not speed controllable but its quiet and I think it'll work for such a small space. Was going to roof mount it at the far end and vent through the airbrick under the ceiling. Passive intake on the near end but I have no idea what size to make it. Ideas? Any help greatly appreciated

Day 81 Chop day. Buds nice and dense, sticky with a nice sweet aroma. Mostly milky with amber starting to show. If you have the space I'd put money on growing in 3l pots if you want to steer clear of problems like over watering. My next lot are in 7l pots although I think I have growing in a 10l down to a T as well. Getting ready for those fems @Bay Seeds. Getting an outdoor area ready for in the ground planting. Gonna have to build some sort of enclosure for wind protection.

This is a good result. Nice work bro. What size pots do you use bru?

Ya you want to be careful with autos, I don't grow many autos but I think best practice is to try maintain consistent environments. Then heat is a factor that is very situational, so what light do you plan on using? and does it give off heat, if so, you could possibly use it to heat up the environment. Also you could run the lights at night to keep the temps in a good range.

thanks man gonna put an order in for a th16 and thermostat today.

Howzit. I'm going to do a passive intake and make it variable in the beginning so I can test the draw on the extraction fan. Not sure if that fan can be controlled much... I have a feeling it can only be controlled at higher RPMs to avoid damaging it, I've written to AMS to find out. I was also considering one of those 12v RAMs connected to a battery for loadshedding - haven't decided yet I just need to test the fan I have. It's overpowered for the room size so if I can't slow it down I could alwaysj ust put more bends in the ducting but then I'm using it full speed all the time and it seems like a bit of a waste of power. Will have to put some effort into that soon as the room is sorted. Hopefully the big fan works because with insulated ducts it's super quiet. I hear you on the auto's, I've grown a bunch before and my best take was 60g. Won't say my worst! Surprisingly nice to smoke some of them. When I first grew a long time ago nobody outside of cultivation new what a Ruderalis was, for me it was like a swearword but these breeders are impressive man, you can get decent smoke out of an auto now.

I hear you on running them at night I will keep that in mind but I will probably just use the heater and a thermostat so I can do what needs to be done during the day. Good suggestion though I hadn't thought of that. The lights a 550W Leon LED with a 480W driver. It's the 561c diodes.

aha that's an important piece of info I over looked! these where all in 30L, soo all together 150L of root space for that grow. could have vegged them a lot longer, cause they where quite far from being root bound, I have thought of using my 20L's again and reducing the amount of soil, but since mixing my own soil I would rather go with the extra root space even if I don't need it hey wait...... could this be a reason for the looooooooong ass stretch before the pistils came in??? I doubt it, but still scratching my head on that one.

@wingwing how's it going bud! I am loaded with questions, it's good to have a plan before renting the bulldozer. It's good to kinda just "wingwing-it" (see what I did there ) and in a lot of cases you don't have a choice but to wing it... ...but like the thing with the light, that's something you need to know, I would suggest LED then working around that later on, easy to pop in a heater and have it on a sonoff switch so it'll only come on when needed. but if you already have HID or something that gives off it's own heat you wouldn't need a heater... in which case I would still suggest to get rid of the HID and make the jump to LED. reason for that is, it's easy to heat up a room when needed, but trust me you gona be pissing tears of frustration during summer to cool the HID down. a lot of HID owners I know can't even grow during summer..... sooo, LED it is. When I saw what you busy with, first thing that popped into my head, cause you not using a tent, but rather building a solid room, I see you got extraction sorted, I don't see anything regarding intake? You gona seal the room? Tents usually have passive intakes near the bottom, but if you have a sealed room you'll be suffocating plants if you suck all the air out without letting fresh air in. with sealed rooms active intake is really the only option. so you'll need another inline fan. and need to make a hole for intake aswell as extract. either that or don't seal the room by making passive intakes like tents have, you just need to figure out how to filter the air that passes through there and also block light from coming in there during your dark cycle. Active intake = a inline fan pushing fresh air in from outside with a hole the size of the fan you'll be using for the ducting to enter. Passive intake = a much bigger hole where there is no extra inline fan, but rather the space will start passively sucking air in as the extractor creates a vacuum. the extraction, for that size, don't go bigger than a 10cm inline fan, and obviously your ducting will have to be the 10cm ducting so it can fit the fan..... anything bigger than the 10cm extractor will be overkill for that space. then my last suggestion would be to grab some photoperiod plants and make it all much much much muuuuch easier on yourself. whatever auto you got the photoperiod of that same strain already exists and you can treat photoperiods like autos and flower them at any size, but you can't treat a autoflower like a photoperiod, and if you try the auto will show you the finger and turn against you. autos are for seasoned growers that have their situations fine tuned with no hickups! that's why I don't grow them, yet.

52 RH and whatever the winter temp is... it's not a warm room at the best of times which is why I'm using it because in summer I need the coolest room. But I hear you, I'll check the temp when the lights are on first. My concern is the next couple of months we gonna get the real low temps and from having grown a few autos before I know they are finicky as all hell.

What is the current temperature and humidity of that area? You might not need a heater.

I saw you said somewhere (I think it was you) to be careful of temperatures when growing autos. I'm putting some Fastbuds cheese and RQS Mimosa in there to start while I get some photo's going. It's not very well insulated so it'll lose heat fast. do you think load shedding will have much of an effect on the roots in winter? I've only grown autos outdoors in summer. Should mention I got great service from biltongnbuds again. Credit where credit's due.

Nice work so far bro, the wall heater will be perfect, try connect to a sonoff switch th16

A different kind of curing jar. Did a market this past weekend and was surprised at the amount of people asking about infusing cannabis for them. All ages and walks of life. Just working on labeling now.
