Any updates/pics on the Frisian Duck?

Thanks bud. I want to do fems to start out with, but will see what happens in future. I've got an inverter, but just need new batteries for it. Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Hey bro, if I rent the place then the plan is to eventually put 2 tents in there. 1 for veg and one for flower...then I can harvest every couple of months or so. The room has its own meter, so I'll be paying 100% for the electricity I use. Don't think I'm gonna go that route for now though. Gonna try and find someone to go 50-50 with for now.. If I don't then I might explore the possibility of renting a place next year, or even just abandon the idea altogether Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Yep bro, lots of things to consider. I already feared spending all that cash only for it to not materialize again lol Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Thanks brother, great info as alway. Lots of things to consider. Might delay for now and just buy.. Will see how it goes Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

I'll be spending way more growing it. Probably like double tbh Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the offer brother! Unfortunately I'm in Gauteng, the Vaal area. You've got a good thing going there, I love it [emoji108] Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

No compromise unfortunately bro. Ive tried, trust me lol, hence my only option of renting out another place. Only other option i have besides that tbh is to give someone my equipment, let them grow for me at their place and then split harvest 50-50

Hi guys, im back (not quite yet, but exploring the possibility). Apologies in advance for the long-ish post. I have been exploring possibilities on how i can start another grow without angering people at home lol. Theres a place that about 15 min away from where i work that i can rent for 1k a month excluding electricity etc. I spoke to the landlord and he has no issues with it as long as im discreet. I was thinking of setting up something along these lines: -Start off with 80x80 grow tent with 4 plants. -Im not going to use any heaters etc as i dont want to pay too much for electricity. This is probably going to cost me another +9k/grow minimum including rent. Not sure if im wasting money.. Rough breakdown on minimal spend: R1700 Tent Rent and electricity for 5 months approximately R7500 Seeds and soil: R500 Couple of things i want to add -add a small LTE router and a camera so i can monitor remotely. (Maybe R1k) -Perhaps a watering system that i can water remotely as well in case i go on holiday etc. (Maybe another 1k, or more.. im not sure) Might add later: -Might get a bigger light and second tent so i can veg in one and flower in one. (R7k) What im worried about, is that since it is a remote location.. im going to have problems when there is load shedding. I have emergency lights but they dont work on a timer and have to be manually switched on and off. So, i have 2 questions: 1. Could the lighting issue during load shedding going to be a big problem if i dont have easy access to the place? I really dont wanna drive there every time theres a power cut.. Is there an easy solution to this that someone recommends? 2. What do you guys think about this idea? What would you do in my situation? Am i wasting money and should i rather just buy? Less stress etc . Im really caught in two minds so would appreciate any opinions from seasoned growers on whether you guys think this is a good idea, or whether this is probably going to be problematic, not ideal and stressfull? Added: The main reason i started growing was to save some cash by growing my own.. but since i attempted my first grow that i had to shut down, i have grown a bit of an appreciation for this hobby . I wish i could smoke the fruits of my first grow so i would know if it was worth it to go out of my way like this to grow my own, or if i would be better off just buying any random stuff off the street. Unfortunately if i buy, then i dont buy inddor as i smoke alot and will end up spending a fortune on top qulaity bud from dealers... so i just buy the cheaper stuff usually and quality is up and down..

Thanks bud. Yea, I'm already running my lights like that. So sad that l couldn't see this through.. Plus the girls were just starting to show signs of flowering. . Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

Yea man, what a kak feeling.

It is what is is bro.. dont think theres gonna be another grow unfortunately. To put it in simple words, my stealth cabinet is now not so stealthy and growing weed in there isnt gonna be an option lol. Might sell/repurpose the equipment... or maybe grow some strawberries n shit in there haha. Was so much looking forward to completing this grow and sampling the goods.

So, unfortunately ive had to abort mission (personal reason lol). Was fun while it lasted, but very sad that i couldnt see it through. Thanks anyways for all the help guys.. and happy growing. This thread can be closed. Peace

Whoop, electricity is back at my place. Unfortunately I'm still struggling a little to get temps right.. Temperature in my garage was hitting 27 deg today at midday. It hits above 30 easily with lights on. I'm just going to leave the door open while lights are on for the rest of the grow, or until I can find a solution.

Might only come back on Friday im hearing. Will it be ok to run my lights for reduced hours etc for so long? (Could be about 10-11 days). Ive been running my main light for 4-5 hours a day only.

Recovery after the LST. Still no idea when power is going to return...

In the Vaal area. Substation burnt so here we are..

Thanks man. Probably only gonna come back tomorrow. Been running a generator intermittently in combination with emergency light when the gennie goes down. The girls have suffered enough this week lol, but through the cold temps, lack of airflow and rationed light they're looking good.

Weekly update. Still without power since Tuesday, but they're not doing too badly. Did some LST again this morning

Great stuff. Got my seeds from there and would surely buy from them again.

Oh no.. There was no air movement since last night, besides when i opened up to check on them. I didn't want to leave it open as i didn't want it to get too cold. Hopefully i can have a solution by tonight

Ok thanks bud, will have a look. Tbh, i think im just gonna stick to the molasses n tea combo. Been getting alot of help from @Master_G as well and he uses only molasses with Just Cannabis soil and his weed looks amazing.

Im running my light from 8PM to 8am, so putting in the sun is going to really mess with their internal clock im guessing? lol Going to be without power for 2-3 days, so i think im gonna try and get a generator and then i could run my lights and fans..

Looks great to me bro, well done

The one im using is the Daro PH down powder (Active ingredient is sodium bi-phosphate).. I add 1.5ml in a 5liter bottle to get the ph i want.
