Our winner this month is hydroman :-clap Congratulations! Please PM me your delivery details.

Will be giving an update after week 2 on my grow soon. For now I thought I'd share what's happening outside my flower tent. I've basically finished up my veg cab now. Took quite a while with time being minimal as well as the necessary funding but it's just about done. Just need to get an oscillating fan in there. I have 2 x 85w CFL's running in the cab with a 4 inch extractor fan exhausting it. I do plan to replace those CFL's with a 150w HPS in the near future. Here's what I've got cooking in the cab 1 x Thunderbud Haze Clone 1 x Jack Herer (GHS) 1 x Damnesia (GHS) 1 x Bubba Kush (GHS) 1 x Cheese Clone 1 x Training Day Clone One might mistake me for being a GHS fan lol ... which isn't the case at all! Basically I have a friend who bought a whole bunch of their seeds which is why I'm growing these out. From this experience I thinks it's safe to say that I won't spend any further money on their genetics as it really is a gamble. I've lost an AMS, Kings Kush(Still alive but basically useless) and the Bubba kush in the cab is looking ill. So yea no more GHS after this! Once these plants are large enough they will go into the flower tent to join the rest. I got the training day clone and the cheese clone from a mate. The training day somehow started flowering at my mate's so whether that plant will re-veg nicely waits to be seen. Here's some pics of the cab... The extraction port. Excuse my hole making, I don't have the right tools so I had to carve it out in a sense On a final note. Here's what I have growing outside... This is the clone of the AMS flowering outside now Here's that sad old Kings Kush which is still at it's tiny size but started flowering...

For all the Joburg peeps!

Sorry for the delay guys. So far there's only two worthy entries here... are there any posts I've missed that were attempted entries?

Looking really good SBA she must smell divine

I can't really see the point to autos unless you're growing outdoors and want the plant to flower sooner... Are there any other benefits?

Freebie from Original Sensible Seeds

Update at Day 9 of Flower(12/12) The plants are stretching out really nicely. Especially the AMS which has grown 21cm in the last week! Both the TBH and the AMS are confirmed females. Very glad the TBH is a fem as it was a reg seed...HOWEVER... the B2B which was meant to be a fem is almost definitely showing signs of being a male which I'm extremely disappointed about as I definitely wanted a strong sativa in my lineup. Luckily it was a freebie... Perhaps someone can confirm that it's a male in the photo below, apologies for the poor quality, I couldn't get the camera to focus in this instance. Plant Heights: TBH - 63cm AMS - 56cm B2B http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag217/420sa/CM150225-22031103_zpsjc3n2flb.jpg[/img] TBH http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag217/420sa/20150225_213936_zpsj7f3ltq6.jpg[/img] http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag217/420sa/20150225_213957_zps8oey5ds6.jpg[/img] http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag217/420sa/20150225_214010_zpsvfrbd8nh.jpg[/img] AMS

Ok there was a conflict with permissions which I have rectified. Please check again guys and let me know. As I say I will add more games but I need to find them.

I do see that Trusted Members can't access the arcade for some reason. Looking into it.

Will look into it. What does it say when you try to access it?

For the bored one's we now have an Arcade!!! More games to be added soon! :thumbups

If you look at some of my updates you'll see that some of the plants do look underfed, only once I started bumping up my PPM's to risky high levels did I see proper results, especially on the B2B and the AMS. I took a bit of a risk on Monday and fed the AMS with a ppm of 994 which is quite high for its relatively small size of 35cm right? Now it's looking great with a nice healthy dark green, no signs of nute burn as well. Check the feeding schedule attached. I got it off Grow Guru's site, the PPM's indicated there don't correlate with what I've been seeing, but then that could be a different TDS meter Nutriplex_feeding_chart.xlsx

Just a quick heads up...This comp ends at 12 tonight folks!

I have a question regarding Nutriplex. Been a concern of mine for quite some time during this current grow. I seem to be getting really low PPM's when I mix the nutes into water. I just mixed 4ml gro 6ml micro and 7.5ml bloom into 5 litres of water and only got a ppm reading of 556... does that sound normal to those who have used Nutriplex? I'm following the chart and I get really low ppms when I follow it. Always have to add a lot more. Either my TDS meter is stuffed or my nutriplex is watered down

Are you asking why the forum is configured that way Troy?

That's the reason for the drooping yea

Are you referring to the drooping?

Under the weather in what way Max?

Quick Update I'm FINALLY switching to flower today So that makes today Flower Day 1. Light has been off since 12 last night and will kick into it's 12/12 schedule starting 8 tonight. Want to ensure the light is on during the night to keep the heat levels down. Also planned it around my areas load shedding schedule... So basically I'm going to start off flowering the B2B, TBH & AMS in the tent. I've moved the two clones and seedlings to my veg cab(Will post up pics soon) When those plants are ready to flower I'm going to move them into the tent too. Here are the 3 ladies(hoping the TBH is a fem) Plant Heights: B2B - 52cm TBH - 48cm AMS - 35cm

That's the exact one I have lol

no worries!! I think I read somewhere that dimming bulbs isn't all that good for them or might lead to them having shorter lifespans, not all too sure on that info though. I think most makes are dimmable, I'd make sure the bulb works with digital ballasts(usually says on the box or website). My 400w dual spectrum bulb doesn't react well to dimming or super lumens though, it starts to flicker. Read up on the net that dual spectrums do tend to do that though so not all bulbs react well to dimming.

Why don't you just get a 400w MH and dim it down?
