Perhaps we should put it to a vote. Whether we allow guys to put their plants under the sun during load shedding hours or not.... We'll really have to rely on trust but this loadshedding BS has the potential to create doubt and unfair advantage if load shedding goes on for extended periods. Which is likely at this time of year. Just an example... I have no LS in my area. Thanks to a factory on my grid that threatened to close if they get LS. If there are others competing who are also exempt from LS then there's an advantage there Some guys might have backup and some not. Tricky one which I must admit I didn't think about at all.

@CreX if this was indeed his situation at the time of the update then he's all good... but needs to update again today @HappyDaze

Thank god you didn't take my advice! Glad to hear your plants are coming right Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

I'm afraid to say @donzomb has been disqualified....

+1 for the soil being too hot Bit of a tricky situation as those plants don't look like they'll handle the heavy moisture from a flush well but on the other hand the moisture will help the soil break down better. Just cannabis is meant to be a "soil" so flushing it isn't guaranteed to solve the issue. Not as straight forward as flushing salts out. I would seriously consider getting those plants out of that soil into something more reliable like FF soil. It's drastic, but could save your plants

@donzomb you have 5 hours... 7PM is your deadline

Not sure about that... I've seen a few goodens in the other diaries!

Day 22 Things began to go a little south from Friday last week. The plants started to droop a bit. As overwatering was out of the question I assumed they must've been getting a little root bound so I decided to transplant on Sunday. Suspicions were correct. They were fairly root bound at the bottom of the pot. Nice healthy roots though. The plants were transferred into 20 cm pots with a vegging soil mix. They're starting to look happier tonight. I'm gonna top them tomorrow morning.

@donzomb you've now missed your update after 1st warning. Please update your diary within 24 hours to avoid disqualification 2nd Warning

@HappyDaze

All good bud

@donzomb your diary is overdue for an update. Please update within 24 hours 1st Warning

@DamDave as @iGrowDagga has pointed out. Your plants will need to remain indoors and no assistance from outdoors or the sun is allowed. As other competitors have raised concerns over this I ask that you please stick to the rules on this one. Much appreciated

@HappyDaze please read the rules bud. We'll need current updates Are the seeds in pots now or is your current situation what we see in the pics above?

She's looking good

You're right bud. The tents are hitting a steady 24 to 25C with lights on which I can't complain about. 40% RH I used to have big challenges where I used to stay (Nelspruit) which actually put me off growing when I was living there. In summer a tent would hit 40 sometimes I kid you not. As a result, fluffy bud... AC was out of the question. I've now moved up the hill to White River this year which is a good 4 to 5 degrees colder than Nelspruit at any given time. So I may even be okay in summer, we'll see.

@GGG don't forget to upload the pics please

Can make a plan to get you more seeds if you want. Let me know if you want to. Will just need to cover the courier

Day 17 Seeing as I haven't yet given a breakdown of my setup..... It's a fairly straight forward setup with some gear that is getting on a bit now. Veg Tent 1.5 x 1.5 GTHydro tent 250w (early veg) 400w(late veg) MH Bulb 8" Extractor Fan (functioning as active exhaust) Flower Tent 1.5 x 1.5 GTHydro tent 400w(early flower) 600w(late flower) HPS Bulb.... or possibly 2 x 400w HPS throughout 6" Extractor Fan (functioning as passive intake) 40cm Wall Mounted Fan ---------------------------------------------------------- The pic below illustrates how the ventilation process works. The 8" inline fan in the veg tent is exhausting out the tent through a window behind the tent. The 6" inline fan in the flower tent is bringing air into the tent from a different window behind that tent. The tents are then linked with an 8" duct indicated below in the pic. Fortunately, as these tents are two different models, the bottom duct outlets are very close to each other. Keeping the duct short and making it easier for air transfer. When both tents are zipped closed, by pure luck really, a perfect equilibrium is achieved and both tents maintain a steady negative pressure. As the veg tent is sucking air straight from the flower tent, it's ambient temp varies between 1 to 3 degrees higher than the flower tent, when the flower tent's light is on. Which is an added bonus in winter when you want your veg tent to still hold the higher temps.

Maybe I can assist but I don't quite understand your post. Are you having trouble uploading via tapatalk and also having issues logging into 420SA on your browser?

@HappyDaze have you dropped your seeds yet?

Those are some strange looking nipples!

I agree with @CreX tying the stems with string or laces can be problematic. You could be restricting growth. Rather use plant ties if you must and leave some space for the stem to expand

I can't seem to make contact with @BroMo guys. Unfortunately we'll have to disqualify him.

A day short of the 2 week mark since the seeds were dropped into water Now that the choc gelato has been moved to the flower tent the seedlings have full rights to the light. I've taken out the 400w MH and swapped it for a 250w MH Did a water with some humic mix added last night. I use the liquid humic mix from Grow Guru
