CG420za

I'm thinking its nute burn of sorts, I could be wrong. I've had those lines on one or two of my leaves in previous grows, I've never had a caterpillar in my cab.

Congrats to @Toby 

Quite a crazy result in the end seeing as @CG420za was leading the whole way up to about 24 votes or somewhere there but you came from behind and somehow pipped him!

Hard luck to @CG420za you guys both deserved it really. Immensely happy we didn't have to decide this one.

POTM will be running again this month. Keep an eye out for the thread announcement

@CG420za and @Toby how you guys feeling?

LOL! I was pretty excited until @Tobycaught up! Hahaha! Jokes!

If it is a tie and Toby decides to donate the prize to me, we can share coz he will have to help me build my soil anyways

Don't you okes think it's cool that we grew the same strain, yet they look so different. Goes to show that environment plays a big roll.

BTW, Toby, I'm taking cuts again, wil jy nog he?

Personally I've never grown an auto, but i'm keen to try, considering there's so many nice strains available now. My beef with auto's though, you can't clone them.

Pantihose is the winner @420SA, I use it on my cab. I change it out on day 1 of flower. Stops my dog's hairs, bugs and lotsa other shit

Hmmmm, this sounds like one to watch! I'll be following

what a sight! Looking perfect @greenkush, making me wanna start a grown now

Get some birdnip

Word! I'd like to see a monster too. I don't have pics of my mates grow, but he had 2 monsters you could hide behind.

looking lekker there.

Awe bru, you're better off man. That oke wasn't much of a friend to you anyways. If i look back over the years, i went from maybe 20 solid okes to about 5. Quality over quantity my man. Life lessons. You will always come out stronger.

Last one for the homies. Untagged coz you said i could @420SA

My current grow is using 19.1 kw/units per 24h. I'm running 1000w(600w + 400w) lights in my flower tent and a 200w light in my veg tent. The fans are pulling 88w.

You need to work out consumption in order to work out cost so the best thing to do is break your grow down to each piece of equipment that is using electricity and work from there:

I'm gonna use my grow as an example here:

Firstly it really helps to measure what each device is actually pulling and not go by the indicated wattage for the device i.e. a 600w HPS may use a little more than 600w, especially with magnetic ballasts. My 600W HPS and 400W HPS are collectively pulling a total of 1115w and not 1000W. If you have a prepaid meter it should be able to tell you the wattage being used in the house. An easy way to measure each devices true wattage is to have the device off, check the current wattage use in the house in the meter and note the amount, then turn the device on, note usage and work out the difference.

Here's how to work out total consumption:

The formula is : Device wattage X time(hours) device is on

Flowering Lights: 1115w x 12 = 13 380

Veg Light: 200w x 18 = 3600

Fans(2 extractor fans and 2 oscillating Fans): 88w x 24 = 2112

We then add these totals together:  13 380 + 3600 + 2112 = 19 092

So that gives me 19 092 watts which is the total number of watts my grow uses every 24 hours. Or 19.1 kilowatts, or 19.1 units... whichever way you wanna look at it.

 

To work out cost

Formula: Total daily usage X Price per unit(kilowatt hour)

Daily cost: 19.1 x  R2.44 = R46.60

Monthly cost: 46.60 x 30 =  R1398-00

Hope this helps

 

Maybe you should sticky this one @420SA

Would be cool to have losta tiny plants in there. Like on 12/12 from sprout

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I used to use a cheapy pen from wish before I grew in soil. Worked well, I just made sure i calibrated it once a week. Not that it ever really went off from the 1st calibration

 @Chrislovesdagga  here is a link to very effective and affordable option - https://www.futurama.co.za/catalog/product/view/id/24167/s/solenco-rechargeable-mini-cupboard-dehumidifier/

Another option is to use the Box with PC fans and buy silica dehumidifier thingy mabobs, I found some at Builders warehouse. It is a tub with some silica pebbles inside that cost R38 and you can get refills for about R18. This works with small amounts to be dried. 

I have one of these. Pretty nifty for the initial day or 2 of drying. But like Reaf says, slow is best.

I think Greenthumb is close to you, check www.gthydro.co.za

Oooh Black Domina, I've always wanted to grow that strain
