You need to put a couple of emergency lights in there that stays on when the power goes off. The at least the light cycle is not interrupted.

That's what I'm currently running. Not helping bulk up in the last 3 weeks. Considering a generator to keep some lights on and my lower yielding plants producing

I gave up on shrogging my plants. Most of my plants are now flowering outside. Except for 2. I think it is the way to go.

lol, i reckon i'm a tad too far in for that, neighbours may notice 4 x monster plants waving in the wind at week 7.

luckily my yields should keep me sorted for a while. dont HAVE to grow again immediately , but i probably will anyway

Yeah it would be great if we could just grow out doors, but like McB said, neighbors, light interrupting the dark cycles, it would actually most likely turn out a lot worse than the 2 hours of less light. Thankfully I have not been badly affected by the load shedding as my time slots are sorta odd in terms of that. So I lose about 2 hours at most during flower and 4 in veg.  However when they eventually stop 24/hour load shedding it would basically just be the 2 hour slot. That being said I'm pricing generators now and just seeing which one I should go for. I might just bite the bullet and get the 5.5kva, I work from home so I do need it in order to charge my laptop and stuff.

the 5.5 looks to be a happy medium, will run most of whats needed but cost wise i just cant do it.

looking at a 2kw to run a 400w digital(or two) , circulation fan and maybe basic entertainment in the house.

 full timed circuit pulls 6.9a, 2kw genny rated at 9.1a, getting rid of the mag 400w will cut that load in half(measured, not guessing, they are power hogs)

 so 2x400w's, a circulation fan and basic tv router laptop style of thing

 i thought my 6 to 6 schedule would miss most major disruptions, but this is just a whole new ballgame. week 7 and daytime temps are hitting 32 because of no ventilation, then i lose 4 hours best case of my cycle

I luckily have high walls and keep them small just for incase. My last plant only yielded 80gm. But it is so much more potent than the stuff I grew inside. I rate the sun for a light source.

i do have some outdoor going, but really more of a set and forget setup. my major yield is indoor.

with 4 plants scrogged to roughly a square meter each(height and area) i would probably have to build a greenhouse around them.

nothing indicates lack of privacy like a bursting bladder, no housekeys and the realisation that nowhere in my yard can one take an emergency slash without alerting a toddler or its parents

It's a bit of a grind now. Schedule delayed as mentioned. Should be in drying by now. Anyway. It is what it is. Will check trichs on the 2 further along jd's and make a call later this week. Not much amber happening as yet

Having recently dry trimmed a buddies plant I was blown away with how much better the trichomes hold up and terps are preserved. I defoliate most large fans but leave sugar leaves and smaller fans. Hang them in a dark cold tent and try my best to keep humidity low and Temps below 15 and stretch drying to 2 weeks or so. Sitting at 17 and 62' so puzzling over a quick humidity solution. Thinking a balance of fan heater and ac

Agreed. I dry and trim this way. Slower drying time. Buds take on a better shape, sugar leaves hang over the buds to protect the thrichs. And none of the terpenes evaporate through the hundreds of fresh cuts.

And your thoughts about bud washing? I've tried it after reading about it on this forum and it definitely made a positive diference in taste and effect but I can not help thinking that one screws around with the terps?
I have done bud washing once and my result was not the same as yours. It was not such a great idea on my part. For my outdoor I wash them off with water about 3 days prior to harvest.

McBud, it's looking amazing brother. 120g is alot of bud for me so that's really good. How does she burn??

Sent from my G3312 using Tapatalk


Thanks Pat. 120 isn't bad at all. But should have had more Remo in the tent. Currently being battling random weather so not entirely dry but she burns well so far. Long slow and cold dry really covers a lot of the curing from a chlorophyll perspective.
Chucked in some Integra 55' packets. Seem to be working well.
New trimming scissors were in order

LoL dude the trimmers are always needed. Mine is pretty old already about 2/3 years old but still works well. That bud looks really tastey, thinking I should come have a coffee with a smoke.

      12 x 240W LED Grow lights, as new, for sale.
      6 are with wooden frame and 6 are with aluminum frame.
      Wooden frame is more expensive but if you buy the lot then price will be the same for all.

      Hello growers
      I would love to have an opinion on this topic. Let me update you on what I have been working with. I have a one plant indoor grow inside a 80cm x 80cm grow tent. I use a 40l fabric pot with both Orgasoilux and Freedom farms soil (green bag). The bottom half I use Orgasoilux(20l) and the top half I use Freedom farms soil(20l). Throughout veg all I give the plant is Biodyne Environoc 401 (microbes), Molasses and water. This results in an extremely healthy plant.
      Once I flip to flower I start using organic bottled nutrients. In the past I have used Biobizz Bio-bloom, and more recently I have used Dirty hands inc - Bio-Phos (Jamie's brand). I give 3ml Bio-Phos once a week early flower and up it to 5ml every week mid to late flower. Plus a molasses feeding every 2 weeks and stopped using Biodyne microbes 1 week into flower.
      I was thinking about completely ditching bottled nutrients and going the topdressing route for flower. I was thinking of maybe topdressing a week before the flip with Jamie's elemental blend. I am just worried if it will provide enough for the plants through to harvest. I was also thinking of maybe using my own topdressing blend of Dry kelp, Gypsum, Malted Barley and Worm Castings. Would love an opinion on switching to topdressing for flower and if the elemental blend should be more than enough to take me to harvest. If you think I should just stick to bottled nutrients for flower let me know. I am going to include photo's of my 2 previous grows using the method I have stated above. Just trying to get the best quality flower possible :)
      Some thoughts of mine...…
      Topdressing vs Liquid Nutrients?
      Biobizz Bio-Bloom vs Dirty Hands Inc Bio-Phos?
      One topdressing enough 1 week before flip?
      Elemental Blend or my own flowering mix?
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      My Grow:
      Medium: Top Half Freedom Farms soil (20l) + bottom half Orgasoilux(20l)
      Additives and Amendments: Molasses + Biodyne Environoc 401 Microbes + Dirty Hands Inc - Bio-Phos + Mycoroot (seedling)
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      (Seedling)
      - Solo Cup + Freedom Farms soil + Mycoroot
      -Transplant in week 2 of veg to 40l
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      (Veg Stage)
      - initial inoculant 2ml Environoc Microbes
      -1ml per litre  Environoc every 2 weeks
      -5ml per litre Molasses every 2 weeks
      -Stop Environoc 1 week into flower
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      (Flower Stage)
      -3ml Bio-Phos every week (early flower)
      -5ml Bio-Phos every week (late flower)
      -5ml Molasses every 2 weeks
      -Stop Bio-Phos 2 weeks before harvest
      -Feed molasses until harvest

      First time growing photoperiods, quite excited. 

      Genetics
      Hiroshima by Renegade Seed Co.  6 Pack

      High THC, and according to the product description should deliver "high yields of dense, rock-solid buds."  Hoping to achieve that.
      Want to make one a mother and start learning to clone. The description says "These highly stable genetics produce two phenotypes at most." Should be easy to choose a winner to reveg.
      They advise topping, which I am also looking forward to learning. Want to also try "FIM" a plant or two to experiment. 
      Grow Setup
      Same as before. Here
      ~
      Lets go 
      9 November
      Seeds arrived. Also received a Promotional 2 Pack of G-Fawke.

      10 November
      Seeds into a glass of spring water. Onto a heating mat and into a dark cupboard to soak for 18 hours.

      11 November
      Seeds started showing roots. All 6 seeds popped, gently took them and placed them root facing down in Jiffy Preforma Plugs. 
      Covered the holes slightly and into the ROOTiT Small Propagator they go. Heating mat underneath, and gently misted with spring water. Also threaded the hygrometer reader through a ventilation hole, to see the environment reading. 
      I think this reading is fine for germination. Any and all feedback welcome.

      Hoping for them all to push out effectively over the coming days. In hindsight I should have maybe done the paper towel method to get the roots longer, before putting them into the plugs. I've also previously had a failed germination where I watered a bit much, so just gently misting this time as to not drown/stunt the seeds.
