420SA

Really is a joy to see such a clean, blemish free grow! Baie mooi seun

Sorry Heisenberg, your entry was great but without a competitor it isn't a competition... Please submit your pic for Snapshot of the month though! I give you the go ahead :thumbups Think its time to give this comp a rest for a while again. Lets hope we can make this a success eventually

Nope didnt get it. Been so busy lately.... ive been using the aircon though and its been doing a great job keeping RH at 48% to 55%. Just chows electricity like no other. My grow is almost finished so ive decided to stick it out with the AC. Will share pics soon

Look forward to seeing this one pan out!

Snapshot Of The Month June 2016 I'm very much pleased to announce the addition of a new competition to 420SA I'm sure those who are familiar with forums abroad will be familiar with their photo of the month competitions. It's time 420SA has one to call its own Here's the rules.: Submit any photograph on this thread that you deem worthy of being a winner Each member can submit a maximum of 3 photographs each. The photos can be submitted at different times Photos can come from any source it doesn't have to be yours. However photos that were taken by the member will be given higher priority during nomination. Should entries be plentiful, the admin and mods will nominate the entries that will go to the poll Entries are now open and will close 25/06/16 Lets see some awesome imagery!! Good luck!

Its turning blue cause of the cold winter temps, like some strains go purple Thanx 420SA. I've done some reading about the banners, and alot of sites suggest I might aswell harvest the plant since the nanners don't need to burst open and can pollinate all the buds nearby - even if I cut them off before the time. I do think this plant is chugging along very slowly, since it doesn't receive any direct light. What's your take? Should I cut it or let it continue and risk the plant growing seeds? Have you got buds or other plants nearby?

The plant will show symptoms similar to overwatering, the leaves will stop "praying" and will point down with a clawed effect. Thats one of the symptoms

Check the attached pic. The nanner is in the circle Basically a nanner is a plants last attempt to pollinate itself. Its kinda like a hermie but not exactly. That nanner will turn into a pollen sack. It is possible to pull the nanners off but that won't guarantee that your plant wont be pollinated. Try pull of any nanner you see and just let her go on. She's a random outdoor plant, take what you can get from her... even though you don't smoke...

They don't rock up to murder scenes with 5 vans... I wonder if they have ever received heavy resistance from growers

That was just after an hour of the AC being on. I suppose you also have to factor in the en suite bathroom which is about 1.5mx3m. The bathroom door has to stay open cos the AC needs to be exhausted out the bathroom window which stays slightly open... Anyway, Checked the conditions just before lights off this morning. Humidity was 48% and the temp was 29. Ive got the drainage from the AC going into a 20L bucket and the bucket was half full this morning. AC is definitely making a positive difference

Ok got the AC up in the room. Its been running for an hour and already the humidity is already down to 62% in the tent. Great success! Temp is at 28.8 which is reasonable I guess There's a company that rents out dehumidifiers in my area. Gonna see how one of those do and then decide from there

I dont sleep in the same room no. My AC has a heating function which also dehumidifies, tank has been filling up really quick lately actually. Heating is very mild though so I reckon that should do the trick. I was also thinking about sealing the room and exhausting into the room, was thinking about doing that with a dehumidifier,which should also work right? Shot for the help!

Lol the next time I need a piss in the night I'll quickly go check the levels Right now the humidity inside the tent is 79% dude... outside it's not budging from 78%. it's seriously concerning... temp outside is 18, inside the tent was similar(lights off now) The weather has been typical cape winter weather lately... cold, rainy and overcast. I also stay fairly close to the ocean so that also exacerbates the humidity issue. I could use my portable AC as a temp solution but the room is upstairs and this portable AC is not so portable. Gonna be a helluva mission getting it up a flight of about 15 stairs needs to be done though

Getting a measurement halfway through lights on might be tricky seeing as my lights go on at 8, which makes 2am the halfway stage. The rest I will try do

I'm looking to buy a dehumidifier for the bedroom my tent is situated in. My humidity reaches 70% quite often and going into week 6 now, I can't afford to mess with high humidity. My tent passively draws air from the bedroom and exhausts air through the bedrooms en suite bathroom. The bedroom is about 5mx5m in size. Would the unit in the pic below do the job? http://www.dampcontrol.co.za/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=75

Right now I'm running a 600w hps globe in a 150x150 tent and my temp sits at 25 degrees(lights on at night). An AC will probably push the temp too low, especially during lights off when the temps drop to 19 sometimes depending on outside temps.... Most portable AC's do have a dehumidifier mode but my AC's dehumidifier mode pretty much works like the aircon mode by expelling cold dry air, not sure how other portable AC's work.... You're going to use a 400w bulb right? Add an extra 100w for fans and extraction etc. and that's you using 500w for your grow. Now introduce a portable AC ,which draws upwards of 1200w and that's your power consumption more than tripled just by adding an AC for dehumification. Keep in mind that some of the older portable AC's draw as much as 3000w!!! Put that against a dehumidifier which draws about 160w to 250w and a dehumidifier in winter seems to make much more sense to me. You also might find yourself upgrading to a 600w bulb eventually as well with that big tent, so you might want to spare as much wattage as you can. It's tricky here in the cape with our cold humid weather during winter. Mold and pm can become quite a worry. In the long run I reckon a dehumidifier will save you money, despite their large price tag. Keep in mind the drying process as well, where the ability to control the humidity is ideal. A good second hand deal will always help as well

You'll have to factor in the electricity consumption of the AC unit though. I've got a portable AC but I'm seriously considering buying a dehumidifier to take care of the humidity because of the power draw of an AC

Good initiative! How exactly do these bins work? Like bokashi? Wouldn't hurt to chuck a couple earthworms in there to speed up the process?

I tried out George Cervantez's h2o2 bath at the end of last year on my one plant which was quite badly affected by PM and I was quite chuffed with the results. Potency was still right up there, the only downside I noticed was that the bud had lost quite a bit of its aroma Would I recommend it? If your plant is badly effected by PM, yes! Your method also sounds good Trailblazer, if not safer :thumbups

There's no problem sharing links to other forums bro, as long as the link has no connection to a financial gain its all good. Would be keen to see your log :thumbups As for this comp... you haven't got a plant going at the moment?
