I wonder what is required in order for this to happen and whether it will just happen and how do you find out whether you will be one who has their criminal record expunged?

Ok nice, so with a plant height of 70cm and a 20L pot brings you to around 1m tall. I do not imagine your spacetote to be that tall and have enough distance from the light to the plant to prevent light burn and good spread. Although with lots of LST (Low Stress Training) you can try and keep the plant short, perhaps try get a scrog net of sorts inside there and spread the plant out instead. Will be tricky with an auto due to the limited veg time, may not work too well actually. Other LST methods can be used though, tie down the branches to keep it short.

Thanks, I must keep that in mind when getting an aircon for my plants. Is it the 9000 BTU or 12000 BTU Defy which you have?

Yeah, soil is something which does not ship well. Too expensive.

I had to Google what a Spacetote was, I am not familiar with these small grows. I struggle with the space I have and can squeeze 6 plants into my flowering tent. I can see your light, although what is the box above it with the pipes and all? Also what is the max height your plant will be able to reach inside there and are you growing in soil in a pot? EDIT: Is it not easier to just purchase an 80cm x 80cm tent? You can get them for under R1k for a decent quality one, won't have height issues and it's built for the purpose. In terms of space consumed in a room, height wise it will be a little more but overall not much more floorspace being consumed.

Very nice! Should get some good teas from there, but will it be enough? If you are able to get some Organics Matter soil, it may be worth adding that to the mix. I feel it's a very good soil, I have even found some earthworms in my Organics Matter soil. I prefer it over the Freedom Farms soil personally, it's cheaper too.

Does your AC start cooling as soon as it receives power? If my portable AC is on and cooling and the power goes off, when it turns back on the AC is still in the "off" mode and needs me to turn it back on in order to start cooling again. Wondering how you bypassed this if yours originally worked the same as mine? I have an STC-3008 up for sale in the classifieds, brand new. Basically the same as the STC-1000 but it has 2x temp probes so allows you to have both a heater and AC connected to a single unit at the same time basically and you can set each one separately. Very useful units indeed!

I stumbled upon the Haifa stuff previously, I liked their MPK but none of their veg nutes really stood out. Will be curious to get your feedback on it. I am trying out the Hortimix now for veg, so will see how it goes.

I think part A has 41g of magnesium per kg. How does that compare against the Flora series? You suspect you've been ending up with a magnesium deficiency? Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I am not listening to their guide, it's super weak if done that way. I measure according to my desired EC, if I had to follow their guide I fear my plants will start showing terrible deficincies. I have actually mixed my mpk solution stronger so I can use less concentrate to reach my desired EC. I mixed 500g into 6L of water. Then I add until I reach the EC I want. I also don't run nitrogen throughout flower. I like to cut it earlier on and then use just P and K and then flush. How has your veg been when using hortimix according to their guide? Also their dosage does not give you the EC they suggest on thr table. To get to an EC of 1.0 I probably use around 40ml of A and 40ml of B into I think it was 7 or 8L of water. I had to got pretty heavy. Next time I'd like to try mix the concentrates stronger, would need to find the saturation point for the nutes. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Very nice... No perlite in that Just Cannabis soil? Curious to see the outcome, pitty they are not all clones though as I feel that may give a more accurate representation of how the soils compare. Regardless, still very cool and I want to see the results! haha

Welcome and enjoy your stay! What sort of micro grow do you have a mind? A small 2.4m x 2.4m tent? There is tons of great info on this forum, read the various threads and ask if you are still unsure or need some customized advice.

Why not a portable aircon? That will drop your RH and allow you to control the temp better with these hot African summers. In terms of what is better, I am not too sure but if you want a dedicated dehumidifier get one which allows you to at least set a specific RH. I suspect the power consumption will be the same for a dehumidifier vs aircon, or at best not much of a difference.

Interesting, I know they said somewhere that part A and B shouldn't be mixed together without being diluted otherwise it will fall out of suspension - as you experienced in your res and then it sits in the bottom. I've mixed high doses of mpk with calmag (not their part B) without noticing issues. I'll be playing around with thr Hortimix a bit more going forward. I assume it's the type of P, K and Calcium which is present in the mix in which case it could happen with other nutes too using the same "type" of nutrient.

That GTH is looking superb! Cannot wait to see the size on her just before flower time.

That is the problem, isn't it? Seems as if there is soo much goodness out there, how do you grow them all?

One more thing, the longer you allow the plant to veg for, the larger it will get but the larger the pots need to be otherwise the plant may end up root bound. Autoflowers don't need more than 20L pots, you could probably even get away with 15L pots.

Aww pitty, the Bruce Banner is a very nice plant with great yields and very high potency! Regardless I feel it got the point across.

Regarding autoflowers, they will flower based on time - where the "normal" seeds / plants, more correctly called "Photoperiod" will only start to flower when they are exposed to a reduced duration of light. Indoors most people will veg their plants under 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. Then when they want to flower their plants they will change to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness to force the plants to flower, without the reduction to 12 hours of darkness the plants will not flower. However with autoflower plants, this is different. The plant will start to flower automatically by itself based on a its age. So for example an autoflower plant will start flowering after 3 - 6 weeks of veg normally. If you are growing photoperiods outdoors, you need to wait for the seasons to change and for the duration of light to decrease before the plants will start to flower.

Local regular seeds, reach out to @greenkush his GDP and Bruce Banner are top notch. I have just finished growing out both of those, I posted pics of them in my diary over here: Otherwise I am not a particularly big fan of local seeds, like the fire stuff from overseas and find myself growing more American breeders genetics now. The seeds Greenkush had their parents originate from overseas. Regarding the hortimix, please elaborate on why you don't feel its good for flower? Their bloom booster is MPK which works pretty well and is comparable to products such as Ripen for the most part. I have heard the Flora series isn't that great and lacks a bit and needs to be supplemented with a few things. I suspect their bloom to be very similar to the Hortimix MPK. I personally have not tried Flora series though so am not speaking from experience, just the experience of others which I have heard of. I assume you dose your nutes according to PPM or EC?

https://www.darkhorsegenetics.com Just one breeder I know of who have really good regular seeds... Although I think Worlds Strongest Strains also does regulars, I'd look into their stuff too. Otherwise you can always reverse a female with STS to get pollen from her and then breed and create feminized seeds. Regarding nutrients, BioBizz isn't terribly priced for organic, otherwise Hortimix is cheap.

So the Tropicana weighed in at 52g dry. Also some pics of the Bruce Banner #3 buds, as you can see even the smaller buds have some nice colour on them. Excuse the shitty pics, poor lighting in the room. I put them into jars tonight with Boveda packs, will wait for the RH to stabilize before I weigh them. Still waiting for the GSC to mature so I can harvest. The Chocolope is still part of the grow, albeit I have a dedicated thread for that and seems as if it will take the longest to mature.

Where you based? Unlikely you will damage it more just from opening it.

In my experience that is not really needed, as long as you use high quality carlton towel it should be fine - I only had it happen to me once when I was using lower quality towel and when I left the seed in for too long, but then I did cut around the paper towel and plant it with the seed. I use the Woolworths paper towel as it is bleach free and has a good strength and thickness to it, I have yet to have any taproot getting through the towel. I also use tweezers (angled ones actually) when removing the seed and taproot from the paper towel, makes life much easier.

If it has a warranty then see if you can't get it swapped out, but chances are you won't have a light for a few days. If no warranty, then you'll need to investigate yourself most likely. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk
