Hit that follow to see how it goes! I have decided to not start any diaries until the beans have germinated... So here goes!! I put some jiffies on a plate and kept water in the plate to keep them moist. Popped 2 Banana grove, and 2 Girl Scout Cookies into the jiffies, no scuff, no paper towels, no presoak... 100% germination with tap water and jiffies All 4 were completely out of the jiffies this morning, but I didn't snap a Pic. This is from last night

Growth has been great! Ayla Blueberry #2 is actually taller then #1 in a crazy turn of events!! Full colour is back and happiness has been restored

Nice man! Welcome to the forum and shiz... Check out the clubs and competitions and all the other growers advice. Guaranteed you will have a good harvest if you follow the advice found on this forum Where are you from? Jhb cpt... Elsewhere haha

Yea dude... As you go... Do you ha e a tent to grow in?

Nice work man! Looking great actually! If you underestimate your light at the moment, you can take them outside and they can soak up the outdoor sun Do you have space to grow outdoors?

By the sounds of it it might not be full spectrum. Do you have/ know how to use a multimeter? For basic lux measurements you can get a lux meter on your phone... Doesn't really give you accurate readings, but it does help with light placing and stuff

What colour is the light? The add says it's full spectrum... So it should be a cool white or warm white colour when it's on. If it's a blurple light, it's prob not full spectrum. Run some tests though... Maybe the manufacturer used some decent diodes and you hit a luck... Start a grow diary and let's see what happens!

Finally got my prize haha! Thank you 420sa and freedom farms and the Highco for the awesome stuff! Keen to test out this fire juice!

Defs a small female there bro... What is your question though? Do you want to reveg her?

Math is pretty sound And 6 months is not a long time... It's just that initial outlay that most okes can't reach.... It's either get the cheap DIY setup... And GROW!!! Or save for 6 months, and not grow for 6 months... Most peeps with throw alil waste money toward extra elec, than be unable to grow for that length of time. Such a tough one bru.

I haven't used a dome in years... Listen to PsyCLown with the hardening off process. And if you can... Build a mini bubbler... It will change your life haha

Well, how many watts per strip Times 14...sounds like a nice Lil light yo!

I like to take pretty large cuttings... 15-20cm even... Cuttings take fastest from healthy branches. Depending on growth rate... The stems can be softer rather than woody. But in the bubble cloner, everything will root in time

Looking schwifty bro. What led strips are those?

I agree... Light leaks are your worst nightmare... Nothing worse than loose airy buds, or loose airy buds that hermie Dark cycle must be dark... If you can see your ladies... It's not dark enough. So look... You will still grow bud... But it might not even be better then the schwagg you buy on the street Keep it dark, keep it dank

Hit up China mall... Half price pumps for days haha

My teas look healthy... So I don't think I need a filter... When the water comes out the tap, it smells like pool water almost... And once iv vortexed or bubbled it for a day, the smell is gone... That's when I use the water

Do iiiiiiit!!!!!

Diluted that tea into 50l of water and watered my garden where it needs help. Refilled the brewer and started the dechlorinating process... I like to make "fucken" sure that the water is devoid of chlorine before I use it. Fresh water in a brew is the killer of teas... Never use fresh!! RO water is fine Dechlorinated water is fine Distilled Mineral water is okay Rain water is great Tap water is fine once it's been standing for a few days or bubbled in a bubbler for atleast 24 hours... Yes peeps say you can get away with a 20 min bubble... I say you can't.

So quick math, 6/2 is 8 hours... So that's basically 18/6 with 3 dark Cycles during the day - I can't imagine any way to properly maintain stuff in a schedule like that... It will work... But why do that to yourself haha. And 6/12...... Strong Plants need and get 8 hours continuously minimum every day. Don't do this.... Not even in the name of science. If you really want to mess with light cycles, make it work for you... Light is not more important than maintenance... And with an odd light schedule you could neglect maintenance to the point of detriment. Schedules like 24/0, 20/4, 18/6 are great for veg... No point in weird timings in veg... You want growth... Give them more light less darkness... Schedules like 14/10, 12/12, 10/14 for bloom will be your best bets. As long as the plant regularly gets a minimum of 11 hours continuous dark, you can play with fancy cycles here. Cycles on a 36 hour day 24/12, have been proven to increase yeilds, at the cost of more electricity, more nutes more everything... And it's not actually worth it when the cookie actually crumbles. In the end, if you wanna grow good bud, keep it simple, make it easy... And the flowers will be great

All colour is back and it's smooth sailing again. Big reschange today... So that's also a good thing for them. 1 and 2 left and right

Meh... Nothing yet. But it's still alive, and the stem isn't soggy either... So even longer I will give her... Im so tempted to put it in my bubble cloner and just get it done! But I have a point to make now... I have done this before and it worked... But I also forgot about it for every long and then when I eventually came back to find it... It had roots. So by now you have realized that this isnt the fastest way to clone. But it does open the door for couriers, as you can comfortably send a fresh cutting,if you wanted, to anywhere locally really and the guy on the other end can do as he pleases. Even if it gets stuck somewhere... A week, 2 weeks... The cutting will come out just fine. As soon as I have roots I will post pics

Check out the DIY section bro! There's tons of stuff the guys have built and posted to the site... One of which is this vortex brewer... Oke...you could make one with your eyes closed its really easy. I am using 2 dolphin 8500 air pumps, which seems enough.

Okay so because this will sorta be Perpetual... Not in the sense that I will have one tea and keep it alive... But I will be regularly making teas, my aim is one a week to super beef up my gardens biolife, but we will see how it goes! I have one on the go now, so let me give you a few pics. First one is the day I mixed all the ingredients, and the 2nd Pic is the teeming micro life on the compost sock. I will be up pretty early tomorrow to water it on my ladies, and my little veggie patch... And the rest of my garden. 18l of this vortex brew is enough for an entire farm!!! I'll be using it in quite a bit less diluted... Pretty much full strength

My vortex brewer never stops! Im always on the hunt for new soils to add to my teas and store bought amendments that are biologically alive. At the moment I'm making a tea a week and some have really blown me away!! Keep posted to see what works and maybe give me some tips on what has worked for you!
