It was just an example, that is very expensive. Do not purchase from there.

Well what budget did you have in mind for lighting?

@Vera Green there isn't an ideal lighting system, they all have pro's and con's and personal preference comes in as well. Some still swear by HID's while others feel it's silly and would rather grow with LED's. Some other technologies are starting to become a bit more popular as well but time will tel whether they are worth while or not and currently they're super expensive. LED's have a lot of pro's, although can be a little pricey to purchase initially. If you purchase some good LED's off the bat you will not regret it though. Most of the T5 tubes are rather low watts, I was thinking you'd use larger CFL's, something like this: https://hydroponic.co.za/hydroponics/cfl-2700k-warm-white/?attribute_pa_size=300w-envirogro-2700k-warm-white&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwb3rBRDrARIsALR3XeaBgPcBJ4k1-6GHs5uK0akXPM4c_dI5bDS0AD847_laM-uDuYfgwlAaAga9EALw_wcB It's a tricky situation, growing indoors isn't always budget friendly - often it's rather pricey actually.

Welcome! Stat a grow diary and share your grow with us!

I'm not too clued up about outdoor grows, not sure whether it will revert to veg or not as it seems a few weeks into flower already. It could be an autoflower as well, although a bit late to flower if that is the case. Best would be to monitor it and see. Neem is for pest control and generally sprayed onto the leaves. If you want to flower it and it is flowering, you want to increase Phosphorus and Potassium - a bit of Calcium and Magnesium will be good too.

CFL's are really not ideal, also a single larger CFL is better than multiple smaller CFL's. If height is not an issue, then I would seriously suggest you consider other options of lighting. CFL will suffice and you can grow cannabis with it but I do not think the struggle and money spent is worth the effort and time invested as your yield will suffer for sure. I'd suggest you look into other lighting options, be it LED or even a cheap HID setup. Depending on how long term you want to do this for, forking out the money upfront for decent LED lights which are a lot more energy efficient is well worth it. Also you can veg and flower under the same spectrum. Otherwise if you dislike LED for whatever reason, forking out the money for an HID setup will far out perform any CFL setup you could rig up for the same amount of money. CFL is fine for clones and seedlings, I would prefer to stop using CFL once the plants get bigger. My 2c

Damn man, teas for days! If this continues I think we will need to ask @420SA to give you a custom title of "Tea Meister" hahaha You need to post your recipes please! Perhaps there are a few good ideas I can steal from you! As well as everyone else!

This would make sense, Russell AKA Adams. 300KG is hard to write off a personal use, that car must stink! Even cheap shitty weed is going to smell when you have that much inside a car. Very silly to pack it as such, I have noticed on the longer trips its the cars packed heavily or the older ones which often get pulled over now a days. So who has tried to call Adams or add him on Whatsapp?

Day 83 / Day 31 of Flower So a half-assed update, plants are all looking great. I snapped some pics of my Bag seed - so far I think I will be keeping her and am glad I took cuttings. Such a sweet and fruity smell too. Although the proof will be in the pudding after harvesting and curing her, she is flowering really nicely and tons of trichomes! Best I start thinking of a name, although once again it may need to wait until I have harvested and can sample her. I will make a plan to snaps some pics of the other plants too, but I gotta take them out to do so which is quite a mission.

Would have been nice to throw in some OM soil to compare as well, sort of like a baseline of sorts.

Nice, glad it's going well. She won't wilt unless you neglect her. Babying cuttings with a humidity dome just makes them weak. Also the info out there about cutting up the end of the stems, I call BS. None of my roots have come from the cutting section so far, all have come from the stem itself. Having a humidity which will make veg plants happy, will make the clone happy too. Let us know how it goes and good luck.

Unlucky man, perhaps give it a bit of time to cool off and then consider a tent to be a bit more discreet if you'd like to move it back to your place. If there was that much light leaking, it wouldn't have been ideal during flower either. You have some really nosy neighbours!

For interest sake, how are you deciding when to flush? What are you using as indicators?

Some like to let the plant form a root ball and then go up to a larger pot. I don't feel it's needed, do what works best for you in terms of space and effort. With autoflowers majority of people will plant the seed straight into a 20L pot. Apparently when going into a larger pot, the plant won't grow as fast initially due to it creating roots, but once the roots have developed and grown then it'll shoot off and grow really quickly!

@CreX the Meanwell drivers do get a bit warm though, although they're built for it and have an awesome 5-7 year warranty. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

20L can still be moved relatively easily, the issue is the pot size after 20L which you'll use to flower... That's gonna be big and heavy. Best to pick a spot and leave it there. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Man that is really awesome! Well done and enjoy your bong! I wouldn't mine winning a bong. Would be awesome! Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Nice, one thing at a time. Welcome to the forum and enjoy your stay. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Nice man, fingers crossed you get some female GSC's Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I'm enjoying the Organic Matters soil, well worth it if you want some proper soil. I prefer it over the Freedom Farms soil. Good luck with your grow, you can get smaller pots or go for a larger pot right away (like 20L +) Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I can't see properly by the pics, although I can't see any pollen sacs or pistils. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

How much power can you push through each strip (how many LED's per strip?) and which Samsung diodes are those? Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

R1600 for 100w of proper LED's isn't terrible actually. The issue with HID is the electricity is going to make you cry aswl we'll as heat in summer, you'll need an aircon and that's further going to wreck your electricity bill. Although HID is dirt cheap for a starter grow. It also requires quite a bit of height, so no good for a smaller confined space. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Yea, looks perfect. Then into some rooting powder / gel and then into the medium of choice (soil, jiffy, bubbler etc.) No need for a dome. Just ensure the medium stays moist, put them in with your veg plants as that should help keep the humidity higher. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I say keep the light and use it for now, it'll work fine. Yes you do get better lights but for what you paid for it, it's fine. Save up and I'd suggest getting some quantum boards with Samsung diodes when you're able to afford them. Imo they're some of the best value for money LED's available currently. Excellent performance and efficiency, combine it with a high efficiency Meanwell driver / power supply and you've got yourself a superb light which will last quite a while.
