Was this your first grow hydro?

I've finished a good grow on those nutes. I think they can be used to very good effect if you control the ratios properly and don't follow their feeding chart for flower. As Totemic says, cut down heavily on part B!

Most definitely!! Very slight berry/strawberry smell to the Thunderbud Haze

Day 25 Of Flower The buds are starting to develop really nicely now, especially the Thunderbud. This Thunderbud plant hasn't put a foot wrong since germination and really has been a pleasure to grow, really love the flowers she's producing, very fluffy and white at the moment. I've now got 5 clones of her to make sure this pheno sticks around for a while to come. An update on my conditions. Temps sit at a steady 28 degrees with the light and the humidity ranges from 45%-55%. At lights off the temp sits around 20-22 degrees. I'm pretty sure the main stretch is over now, current plant heights are 78cm for the TBH and 75cm for the AMS. The AMS's sativa lineage definitely has shown with a very big stretch of more than double it's size in just 3 weeks TBH http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag217/420sa/Mobile%20Uploads/20150314_203300_zpsgtxhsdtr.jpg[/img] http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag217/420sa/CM150314-20320801_zps1drdvrrn.jpg[/img] AMS http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag217/420sa/Mobile%20Uploads/20150314_203739_zpsq3m9b4wl.jpg[/img] http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag217/420sa/CM150314-20371002_zpselcecjqr.jpg[/img]

Morning folks Just implemented 2 more feature improvements to the forum. The text editor is more user friendly now with less emphasis on BBcode,which some might find confusing, and more emphasis on real-time. Also... there is now a "Say Thanks" button at the top right of a post. Please report any issues and feel free to provide feedback :thumbups

Hi Folks I am aware that some users are experiencing issues when logging in. It says the password is incorrect on the first attempt even though it definitely isn't. I experience this issue myself when logging in as well. It creeps up every now and then and I'm not 100% sure of the cause. I have read up that it can be as a result of spammers/hackers constantly hammering different passwords under your username trying to crack it in an attempt to get into the forum. I can assure you that I'm constantly trying to find a proper fix. Nothing to be alarmed about at all safety wise though :thumbups

Yip!

If you're gonna go the pyrol route be sure to use less dosage than indicated on the bottle else your plants may burn from the canola oil in the pyrol, especially if your temps are on the hotter side. On the bottle they indicate 20 - 40ml per 1 litre of water. I mix 10ml per 1 litre to make sure the plants don't burn

Hi wallis I really wouldn't suggest switching to cfl's either. You'll be downgrading to something I'm pretty sure you'll regret in the long run. As the guys say, just put all your money into ventilation. Check out these fans at this link http://www.fans.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=77&Itemid=111 they would exhaust a cab like yours really nicely. They aren't exactly the quietest though.

Welcome to the forum Al-Hassan! :thumbups

If you can, tune into cliff central by clicking this link http://cliffcentral.com/listen/ They're discussing cannabis legalisation with the DC right now from 12pm to 1pm

This was shared on the Dagga Couple's FB page. His use for the incoming e-toll statements

LOL seeds? A mate recently received his seeds he ordered 5 months ago

Yip that's what he means wallis :thumbups

Hi folks Just a quick update on a requirement that has been changed. A member now requires a minimum of 5 posts to move out of Seed status. It was previously a minimum of 2 posts. This is purely a tighter safety measure. For those that aren't aware of what this means.... When a member joins they start off with Seed status. While a member is in Seed status they can't see certain boards, images & competitions. When a member makes 5 posts on this forum they will be moved out of Seed status and will unlock the rest of the boards.

Hi John Welcome to 420SA What medium are you growing in as that dictates what nutrients you need or whether you need nutrients at all?

Day 16 of flower All going well with nothing out of the ordinary to report. TBH AMS

Very useful article for those peeps that think that the current fires in the cape are a complete disaster and MUST be prevented http://www.capetownbotanist.com/2015/03/out-of-ashes-notes-on-march-2015-cape.html This is inevitable and surely you need to plan your lives around this inevitable natural occurrence. If you build your house amongst Fynbos don't be surprised if you lose your thatch roof one day...

Yes it does have a door. Temps seem to be managing fine with the addition of the extractor fan. The temp sits at about 29 on an average heat day. Today its sitting at 31 but the outside temp is 39!

Our winner this month is hydroman :-clap Congratulations! Please PM me your delivery details.

Will be giving an update after week 2 on my grow soon. For now I thought I'd share what's happening outside my flower tent. I've basically finished up my veg cab now. Took quite a while with time being minimal as well as the necessary funding but it's just about done. Just need to get an oscillating fan in there. I have 2 x 85w CFL's running in the cab with a 4 inch extractor fan exhausting it. I do plan to replace those CFL's with a 150w HPS in the near future. Here's what I've got cooking in the cab 1 x Thunderbud Haze Clone 1 x Jack Herer (GHS) 1 x Damnesia (GHS) 1 x Bubba Kush (GHS) 1 x Cheese Clone 1 x Training Day Clone One might mistake me for being a GHS fan lol ... which isn't the case at all! Basically I have a friend who bought a whole bunch of their seeds which is why I'm growing these out. From this experience I thinks it's safe to say that I won't spend any further money on their genetics as it really is a gamble. I've lost an AMS, Kings Kush(Still alive but basically useless) and the Bubba kush in the cab is looking ill. So yea no more GHS after this! Once these plants are large enough they will go into the flower tent to join the rest. I got the training day clone and the cheese clone from a mate. The training day somehow started flowering at my mate's so whether that plant will re-veg nicely waits to be seen. Here's some pics of the cab... The extraction port. Excuse my hole making, I don't have the right tools so I had to carve it out in a sense On a final note. Here's what I have growing outside... This is the clone of the AMS flowering outside now Here's that sad old Kings Kush which is still at it's tiny size but started flowering...

A short doccie by the Dagga Couple on the crop spraying that goes on in the eastern cape

For all the Joburg peeps!

Sorry for the delay guys. So far there's only two worthy entries here... are there any posts I've missed that were attempted entries?
