Hey smokey The little ones are looking good but I cant get my head around you switching your photoperiod so soon Isn't the plant too young to show sex? Doesn't seem like a good idea to me... Those plants still need to develop a decent root structure too

Super info shot Reaf :thumbups sometimes you read up on ppl saying that digital ballasts are just money making tools that aren't worth the extra money over magnetic ballasts. I reckon that's been debunked now

Update at Day 35 for Bubba Kush & Jack Herer

Here's the process SSA: [*]You will buy 3 packets(parts) of powder from the hydro shop - The three parts are nutrient A, nutrient B and the 3rd part is called MPK [*]Each packet of powder must get dissolved into its own 5L bottle with 5L of dechlorinated water / or preferably RO water. These 3 bottles of nutes will now be referred to as Part A, Part B and MPK [*]You then fill the required amount of dechlorinated water into a suitable container that you want to use as feeding water. You don't need to PH the water yet. [*]You then put the required amount of each part into the container mentioned in the point above and stir or shake the container to mix the nutrients in. [*]Once you've mixed the nutes in you should then test the PH and adjust accordingly. When you add nutrients to water they change the PH so it's pointless changing PH and then mixing the nutes in...you'll just be creating more missions. Hope that helps

Thanks for that Reaf. Say for instance you're running a 600w bulb on a 600W digital ballast. Would the ballast start using more than 600w if the bulb is getting old? and can the ballast handle drawing more power? What would be a good guideline to knowing if a bulb is nearing the end of its days?

How often do you feed/water?

In my experience that spotting on the leaves usually means overwatering. Are the leaves curling down a bit?

Here's a better look

Tell you what Max you can spot a tranny from mile away!!! You'd be a great wingman in Thailand That is indeed a fukn nanner and I found small sack emerging from another bud too which i quickly pinched off. That means this girl goes down tonight I'm afraid

Wouldn't she "over starve" if i left her for another week seeing as i started flushing 2 weeks ago...? Cant see any nanners ... where do you see it?

TBH Flower Day 69 in her sexy autumn colours She goes down tomorrow

Me too

You're asking so you can buy your own Rollie? Suppose Green Smoke Room would be your best bet (and gamble) if you're really desperate for a purple strain... Like Reaf says, it's just eye candy. Means fokall in terms of potency and effect.

The Dagga Party shared this on FB. This is their current issue out now. You can get it from CNA...for quite a sum though

Contact these guys http://starlightwholesaleelectrical.co.za/ They're based in Salt River I got a 250w magnetic ballast MH/HPS, capacitor and ignitor for around R600 from them last year. If they don't have it they may be able to order it for you. Whatever you do, don't buy a magnetic from a hydro shop. There are places you can get it for waaaay cheaper!!!

Why don't you just go 250w HID?

Hi Smokey. Glad to hear you getting back in the game [emoji106] When I first started growing I started with CFL and I remember what a pain in the arse it was to find 2700k CFL's. No general lighting shop or warehouse stocks them because nobody except growers and maybe photographers want them. That's why you'll only find them online. I remember greenshopping.co.za sold them for quite cheap but I dunno if they're still running. The only option I see is gthydro Good Luck

Hi Turtle Welcome to 420SA! I think you're struggling to get the hang of how this forum works. I've moved the two posts of yours to their own topic here as your own intro. If you have any trouble getting around feel free to ask a question here Forum Support

How very fortunate you are indeed Reaf!! Look forward to seeing this pan out
