Awe! Happy 420 @Toby!

Who's missioning to Trenchtown later?

If you dont have heating issues, i'd go with 420sa's idea. If you do, LED would be the way to go, but research is required... That light you're looking at wont be very effective

Hi, I'm new to growing my own , and is looking to get started .

 

Will i able to grow weed with this light setup http://www.takealot.com/14w-225-led-full-spectrum-hydroponic-plant-growing-light-panel-l/PLID42138319?utm_source=vizury_fb&utm_medium=remarketing,

What's your budget for you light?

Awe @Deebo420, this might be a bit late. I'm a cheapo bra, i made my own humidipak after speaking to a lady at sturks in town. She said to get a sponge, wet it, squeeze all the excess water and put it in the jar.

My RH in my jars were at 56%, 5 days later they were at 66% took the sponges out and a week later they're hovering @ 62/63%

The sponge was R5

If only I had some seeds...

Flush with clean water @5.8  feed the following day

ahoy bud, welcome to the forum

why dont you upload a pic so we can see?

i haven't noticed anything weird. Maybe it's version dependent?

I do @420SA, what's up?

Sadly I found more bud rot guys and obviously it was the hardest buds affected... I was powerless in the last 2 days before harvest. I had my cab door open wide, but there wasn't enough air moving through my buds. Couldn't take her out of the cab coz she couldn't support her own weight.

So after checking for more rot, my total dry weight is 94.4g in the jars. The buds are hardish and very very frosty. I've had some good skyf in my day, but nothing that looks like this. So I'm pretty fucking excited! Curing day 3 now.

Thanks @Toby... 420's gonna be good this year

Awe guys! Post number 420! Happy Friday!

We finally chopped my lady down last night, took us a good few hours. I lost some bud from my 2 biggest colas to bud rot. 23.8g to be exact. High RH (65-80) is a bitch, next upgrade is definitely a proper extraction fan.

Total wet weight after trimming, before washing was 541.71g I estimate the actual weight to be in the range of 600g plus because some buds couldn't be weighed correctly coz of the over hang.

This was the best I could do last night, I will snap some later this evening...

GSR? which seed co is this?

Greensmokeroom sir, they're local. I wouldn't advise going that route

Mine just seems to be carrying on with flowering dude :'(

Toby, any luck with the revegging?

thats normal, preflowers look like 2 pistils popping out

Looks like a new set of leaves to me

Do you wash your buds after harvest? They look lekker sparkly and clean

Day 43...

@Totemic, I let the pH drift as recommended. The leaves got a little worse but it seems to have stopped. Thank you for the advice. Slowly bringing her back to 5.8. Also giving calmag with every nute feed 2ml calmag to 3.8L (I half that feed and give every 2nd day).  Water with calmag between feeds. Too much?

Boys and girls, this is what happens when you don't buffer your coco.

I read that when adjusting your pH with up or down, you shouldn't add it to your mix directly. When you do and you see your mix go cloudy, that's the calmag precipitating. I noticed this one or two times. That would probably explain why at had the lockout. Anyways, lesson learnt. Mix your up or down in a glass of water, add little bits to your mix and see what you're hitting.

@Toby check my shitty looking clone/mother box, lol! I'm working on something better. I'm trying to reveg my clones coz they went into flower standing outside.

Hahahaha, thats kak funny! Well played @Thatoneguy.

Thanks @Totemic, I'll give it a try. No nutes or half measure? Does it look more like lockout to you?

Morning guys. Some help please! So I've been having issues with nute burn, well at least that what I thought it was., Thursday past I flushed my plant with clean water @5.8.

They've slowly gotten worse and I've only been watering @5.8 since then. Do you think it could be nute burn? A potassium deficiency? I'm not getting yellow leaves, just the burnt tips that looks to be spreading up the leaf and it's on the sugar leaves. Lower fan leaves just have the burnt tips.

Any ideas?

I always got the impression that LED's run much cooler than HID's.  I'm glad I went the HID route. IMHO I think it would be better to invest the extra cash to purchase an AC.

I think it's setup dependent. Mine runs 2-3 degrees above ambient, whereas HID would made my cab grow impossible without a big extractor and an AC

I'm just trying to figure out how many degrees your lights are raising the temp in your tent.

Like you build a box that houses your led and make that box part of your extraction system. Same way an aircooled reflector works.
