Trickerst

Keep us in the loop

Pure coco will retain more water than soil. OP has mixed 30/40% perlite which should help. My concern was actually way more about the plastic pots as they don't breath well - even with holes. It would make sense that it only an issue now (mid-winter). It is colder, so less evaporation happens off of the soil medium, and the plant transpires less because it is cold. Which means the plant pulls less water out of the medium. To give an example, I have other plants I grow in plastic pots. I had to water them everyday in summer, and only once a week at the moment - I actually killed a plant by water twice a week at the moment. However, it could be something else, the only way to really test is to see if the same thing happens to the fabric pots in the same circumstances

It looks kind of like over-watering, is why I asked. But Im not the most experienced grower.

You can go to any hardware store and buy the eyelet puncher with the eyelettes. It's like a little set of pliers. You get ones that punch bigger holes, but I prefer lots of smaller ones as it gives me more anchor points that are evenly spaced. They really are a great help, and a very neat solution to LSTing in fabric pots.

How dry are they at watering? What kind of pots do you have them in?

I upgraded my fabric pots with eyelets, makes the training of the branches so much better. It's nice and neat too. I have culled a clone, as I don't have the space - tried to save her - but no one here wanted her, so under the blade she went. The mom is almost ready for harvest, and two clones will go into the cabinet. Another will stay in the bucket (going to fem seed her). I defoliated the clones and trained them just before the photo, they have since already recovered and look great

Swell more?! Lol she's already looking like a pineapple. She smells amazing. Love coming home to that smell, it's so fruity and delicious. Totemic[/member] you got any estimations on approximate time left on her?

Good to see the site is now working with HTTPS, as a side note.

It's fine though, fair competition.

It doesn't. Only POTM had that text about a minimum of 20 votes.

So here you can see her, she's so close to ready. My guess is another ten days, which will put her at F80, which is about square on what I thought in my last post. I also have a little close up of some trichomes, which you can see are mostly still clear. And finally my clones, they are all recovering rapidly, in ten days two will go in to my main cabinet and one one will stay in the bucket. The one in the bucket I am going to create fem seeds with. Due to the heat, and not wanting to spend tons of cash on my electricity bill by running my aircon 24/7, I will stop growing around end of October and probably resume in around Feb.

Well that sucks... congrats to the winner.

Aw! I thought I'd won

Whats your setup? If you don't have one yet, what is your budget?

One should keep their words sweet in the event one is forced to eat them.

Damn wish I had the space to grow like that. The DC is looking so frosty, making me drool lol. I can only do very few strains at a time, lol which is unfair I want to smoke them all:-hilarious

Thanks! Yeah they're solid as well, like little boulders. Flowering is taking forever, 3 weeks ago I thought she'd be done by now so I decided not to smoke till I get this harvest in! Haha and now Im so excited to try her, it's basically tantric lol!

So I am in around day 67 of flower. Still have clear trichomes, I'd say 30 cloudy. Probably going to wait another two weeks and harvest at F80, but maybe even F90. I'll monitor trichomes for almost all cloudy, just before amber, should give me the best potency. She's busy swelling like mad. Daytime: 25-29 C 40-50% RH Nighttime: 20-25 C 50-60% RH Go and look at the photos of the last upload compared to here, you can really see her fattening up. Realised she's a little close to the LED (bleached tips on some nugs) so I bent her back as much as possible seeing as the light is as high as it can go. Dialled the light back to 70% from 82% to help out Also my clones are surviving my absolute abuse, they are all mainlined to 4 tops now, I can let them grow up a little while the mom finishes her flower. I have way too many clones for my cab, so Im trading if anyone wants. Same genetics as the mom (look at those obese buds!)

I have two clones if anyone wants to trade, CPT.

Yeah, but you can get them for about R3k from china, locally they cost around R7k. But like I said, you pay for the convenience of having someone who knows what they are doing assembling, and warranties - granted you could just replace the entire unit for the same price if something went wrong on the DIY route lol.

Lmao build yourself a small PVC and panda film tent bru. Can build a fairly decent 150-180w LED setup for small girls. I built one last year for cloning but atm space is tighter than a diamond ina goats ass Sent from my G3312 using Tapatalk LOL! I already have my space bucket for cloning, and my production is currently way more than my usage, so there isn't much point. I'll just go ninja plant some of the clones somewhere in Cape Town, or give them away.

Eish China import is such a mission. LoL I bought a Mars Hydro ii 700w light, it now finds a space in my closet. Sent from my G3312 using Tapatalk Lol! You can also buy the exact cob setup I have from china, at a fraction of the local price. And QB if you look around. But if you suck at DIY or have no idea what to order, then you pay a local premium for someone who does, like growopz - they have good stuff.

Rather go t5, way better. I'd honestly recommend going for LED. You can get from growopz, they make good stuff. But you can also import stuff from china for cheap. Bit of a learning curve but once you figure it out you can probably save a ton of money.

Looking good, what genes you got going now? Im stuck with just my one strain, took 7 clones and I can at max flower 2 plants with my little cab lol, I can't bring myself to murder the other 5 clones

LOL well my bush baby is getting fatter! If you check out 13 & 15 side by side you will see. Feel like flowering is taking forever I want to get my next grow in before it gets too warm I've upgraded the ventilation, as you may notice there is a huge light sealed vent at the bottom.
