Oh, this is interesting. Ready to harvest after 40 days of flowering, that's 5 weeks basically. I run mine 18/6 as they're in my veg area.

Very nice! I like my Secret Jardin tent and would consider getting another Secret Jardin when I can get an additional tent.

Ok, so the trichomes take just as long to mature really. In essence, taking a photoperiod and vegging it for 4 weeks then flipping to flower could take the same amount of time as growing an auto?

Nobody? I know autos are not popular here, hoped for at least one reply.

They've got a lot of "ointments" on that list... I am disappointed to not see any Penis Enlargement creams. I wonder how many of those products are the exact same, with the exception of packaging / branding? I could be wrong though. These guys should not be around if they legally allow for competitors, open up a shop next to them and I am sure people will stop buying from them very quickly. Not hard to beat what they're doing. If I am going to be buying indoor, that is not what I expect. I expect something like this:

From my current experience, just because one plant is taking longer to finish than the other and you just so happened to top it, does not mean she finshed quicker due to the topping. I have had 1 out of my 2 Daquari Lime plants start showing pistils a good 2 or 3 weeks before the other plant, yet physical growth and size had been on par pretty much. There was a 3 day gap between the seeds germinating. So it could just be by chance.

Here is a video where you can see the droplets splashing out of the top. At the end I am showing where the water level is, it's just above that line. Around 5cm / 6cm from the top of the lid. https://imgur.com/4GGuZsh

I have heard the opposite, always best to LST auto's. The higher stress training methods can at times stunt the growth of autos - such as topping or fimming. Also best to try get the most out of the autos from the start as any time lost during veg, cannot be made up.

Have you ever tried to time it so that when you go into dark the soil is practically dry? Try get the bud to start drying a little before cutting it?

Hey all, So after speaking to some friends I was intrigued and decided to try and build a Bubble Cloner. I must give credit where credit is due and this mostly stemmed from @CreX I just purchased the stuff and put it together. Not a new concept or anything, however will be nice to have a reference on this website. What is a Bubble Cloner? A bubble cloner is where you have a tub with water and the clones are above the water, the stems never touch the water. You have an airstone (or a few) and the droplets from the bubbles popping spit small amounts of water into the stems of the cuttings. So fairly simple, I found a suitable tub. I did not want the water to be too deep so found something I felt was suitable. It's a 20L tub. Nothing fancy, best to try avoid something where light may leak through as roots are not the biggest fans of light. So best to avoid something transparent. I did not have proper equipment when doing the holes as I was not at my house, so made do to measure as the first few holes were not very straight. Ended up using a cutting board and knife to make the lines / markings to try get some uniformity to the holes. I ended up making the holes with a 38mm hole saw. For the blue discs I used a pool noodle. A bread knife cuts through it easily. I then took a 44mm hole saw and pressed down on it to create some marks and cut them out with scissors - very easy. In terms of light leaks I feel its sufficient. I ran out of pool noodle as I just cut a piece to take with me. I drilled two small holes on the side near the top to fir the tubes for the air through and then there were bubbles! As you can see I used two airstones, bubbles are important! You want to see the bubbles travelling to the corners of the container. I personally used these Tetra airstones, others will work well too. I used a Sobo SB9905 airpump which is dual output at 2x 5.5L/ min apparently and only uses 4.2W I had to clean up my flowering plants so decided to fill up the bubble cloner and test it out. So far this beats using jiffy pellets or soil. As per @CreX's recommendation I am trying to keep things simple, he likes to harden them off for 12 - 24 hours (at most) in plain tap water, so as you take the cutting place it into tap water and ensure the stem is submerged in the water. No humidity dome, just plain tap water with the chlorine and all. You can add rooting hormone on the stems, but not essential. After hardening them off, transfer the cuttings to the bubble cloner which is filled with tap water once again. Straight from the tap with good old chlorine! I put them into my veg area, I am trying without rooting hormone, no kelpak, nutrients, humidity dome. Nothing at all. So far all clones are still looking good. You obviously do not have to do it the same way, I may give it a try later on with a few additives. Perhaps some Trich and/or Kelpak although @CreX has not had as much success when doing so and finds that the stems tend to rot / go soggy more often then. He suspects the chlorine helps to prevent this. Next time I will most likely use rooting hormone as well, I have a gel. The powder may get rinsed off quickly though, probably the gel too. Anyways, hope this helps some people out, so far all is going well and I much prefer this method. I will report back in a few days / weeks giving an update on the rooting. I do not need this many clones, so just doing it to test things out and will be happy to trade them or perhaps toss them. All in all this costs under R500, I know I could have gotten my stuff cheaper from other shops, but I did not feel like driving all over the place. Realistically you could probably have this built for under R300 if you source well priced parts, an added benefit is you will then have an air pump and air stones to make a nice AACT for your plants too!

It just seems to get worse. I feel the guys doing it without a physical store and without a traditional healers license have more morals than these guys and chances are their product is better and their stock levels are better too!

That is it, just the moisture from the plants and soil. Obviously goes up after feeding day. Don't really want to remove the carbon filter due to the smell, so bit of a tricky situation. No space for a dehumidifier either.

So no lights? Then you will harvest after how long? 72 hours? Have you stopped giving water to let the soil dry out completely too?

May be time to repot as well. Do you ever flush? If not, could very likely be salt build up. Need to flush your soil more often when using inorganic nutes due to the salt build up. Perhaps give that a try and monitor it then.

My fan has 6 speed settings, although RH is becoming an issue so I have been pushing the speed up a bit to try combat that but the carbon filter seems to prevent a lot of the water from being removed easily. I was thinking of getting some metal alu strips, although did not want to struggle cutting them with a hack saw so decided to try the PVC. Already have it, so will purchase some cement to fill them and hope that will work. I'd like to find an easier way to remove the one pole in the front so I can easily remove my plants when need be, cable ties are a bit of a mission not sure velcro will be strong enough either.

You basically keep bending the branches under the scrog net to try create a flat canopy and once it is even and full you can then let it grow. It can be a method to help create a flat canopy to maximize your space and light. Anything beneath the net would generally get cut / pruned as well. It won't get much light and can help increase airflow by doing so. Also forces the plant to spend more energy on the growth above the net.

I'm thinking of getting some cement to fill the tubes. Hopefully that should prevent it from bending, I noticed its starting to bend already. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Day 61 / Day 9 of Flower So I reinforced my tent a bit, not fully done but its something for now. It's helping with the negative pressure and the sides getting sucked into the plants. I did another heavy lollipop / defoliation on the plants, will leave them for now to recover and continue their journey, I should have taken a pic before. I only have a pic I took on the 8th unfortunately. On 8 August: Today: Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Iz naaaiice. Your plants will like. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

The ballast is capable of 60w, not sure whether that means the light will actually pull a full 60w though. It's a CFL. Should be good for cuttings / clones. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I dunno, it's my first time growing autos. These are Dutch Passion, all 4 of them. The Daiquari Lime don't feel like the most stable considering the one had pistils 3 weeks in already (or around there) and the others not... Not even the other Daiquari Lime and only recently did it start showing pistils. So far it's been fun and I'm still learning, although currently I'd certainly grow autos again... Maybe try a few other breeders. I did a bit of a clean up on them tonight and even did a little bit of LST on the one as I felt it needed it. I'm pushing a bit now to see whether the trimming is going to negatively affect the plant. Still no sign of balls unfortunately. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Which nutrients are you using and how much? Is it not maybe nute burn? Do you pH your water / feeds? Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Congrats and well done to the winners! :D Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Looks like a female from what I can see. Congrats! Certainly give the scrog net and flattening the canopy a try the next time if you're not keen this time around. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Flip them already? They look tiny still, how old are they? Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk
