    RH and temp plays a roll. I noticed with my RH and temps being high in summer, they drank more. Lower temps and high RH in autum, they drank less. Still trying to figure it out 100% but you need to know more about your setup in general. I'm not a soil grower, but considering you're using nutes also, I think a little run off should be fine. With coco it's a must to wash out salt build up. Not sure if your microbes will deal with excess nutes man

    Soil is tricky. The safest I'd think would be to go on weight and feel, pick up your pots before you water, feel what they feel like when dry. Also, the top layer of soil must be dry, push your finger down into the medium like 1-2 knuckles down. if it's dry, water her. If your drainage is bad, the finger test won't be a good test. So do both.

    When depends on your medium and environment. How depends on whether you have hands or not

    How much water does that wick system deliver? Mine was almost like a flood and drain system. Pump switched on twice a day, 1L per watering the runoff went into a saucer and out the cab via tubing

    Awe @Dabtzar. I did that, only had to check my cab once every 4 days. If you do go that route @Thatoneguy, just remember they drink differently as they grow. And make sure you catch your runoff. I flooded my cab the 1st time

    I used the 10L fabric pot with coco and perlite. I prefer these over the plastic pots. Ran my plant for +-6 months, no signs of roots swirling, infact no major roots on the outsides, just millions of small ones. As @420SA said, you water more often, but I don't feel like that's a problem as you won't really be able to over water. Also, I think it's due to the aeration that they grow so well. I'm gonna try and get a smaller fabric pot, just to see what happens, coz I feel the 10L was overkill.

    I've tried both, but under different light setups, so i guess i have to do a scrog now, but i'm lazy. Mainlining is alot less work. Can't wait to see this unfold @Reaper
  8. CG420za
    Not to hijack the thread, but what do you guys think of mainlining vs scrog? I wonder which training technique uses the least effort with maximum yield.

    Wish is kak addictive. They take my money every month

    +1 CFL's throw the least amount of light out the ends.

    Howzit ouens I'm getting ready to fire up my grow cab again, but I need to do a few things first. Went shopping today. I'm moving away from nutriplex to biobizz. Got grow, bloom and fish. Mycoroot, rock phosphate, trichoderma and calmag. 1) I need to buffer my coco, that's happening tomorrow. Any tips? 2) After I buffer the coco, I'm gonna do a 50/50 coco/perlite mix. Should I add some rock phosphate and trichoderma to that or is that only for potting up? 3) Is there any special prep in regards to using rockwool cubes to germinate?

    Awe @JustinHemp420. Loving the DIY brother! And even more chuffed that you went the LED route. CXB3590's for the win! I'll be following this one!
  13. CG420za
    I'm not sure about a week coz you water level will drop and your nutrient mix will change as the plant drinks, so your pH might go outta whack... But worth a shot. I like the idea of the bottle
  14. CG420za
    Now this looks interesting! I've been inspired. In terms of nutes, cheapest would be nutriplex i think, but thats not organic If you can wait 1-2 months, this is worth it https://www.wish.com/c/564da141e104622439304a61 if not, bid or buy has them pretty cheap too

    If you're looking for an idea on making a cheap, neat veg cab cfl light fitting. http://www.420sa.co.za/index.php/topic,743.90.html
  19. CG420za
    From experience, it's not such a kwaai idea. You need alot of cfls in a small space. They produce alot of heat. I suppose this time of year you could get away with it. For a veg/mother cab, cfl's are fine. Flowering, not so fine. I used 8 26w 2700k cfl's for flower. Buds were airy.
  20. CG420za
    Are you gonna do your full grow with CFL's?
  21. CG420za
    Awe guys Get the CFL's. But if you can, get e27's. They fit perfecting into 40mm PVC T joints, you can make it look pretty awesome and they will also swivel somewhat. As @Thatoneguy said, ger 6500k or closest to that. 2700k is for flowering. I did a complete grow with CFL's. Not the best idea, but they work pretty awesome from a clone box.

    Awe bra! Long time ekse! I remember that Lion!

    For the setup you have there, i would suggest an oscillating fan to keep the air moving over the plants, strong enough to make the leaves blow. That will make your stems stronger. Then you will also be dealing with smells. Check out some of the DIY grow logs for an idea of what's needed.
