So I'm looking at a few changes to the indoor grow. What are your though on QB vs COB and Why? 

West coast WeetFarm 

I think it was sunlight damage as this plant was raised under indoor lighting then taken outside. 

Thank you for letting me know

So today I have alook at my plant and find that she is turning white at the start of her leaves. What would cause this?

Who knows where this is?

Would love to see some images of the setup you had if you have. Still trying to put together the best possible formation.

Just make a cage out of chicken wire for them . Once they big enough the wild cats wont be able to stop them . 

Thank you I'll have to build rows of these as I have over a Dozen plants Growing. Well were growing. 

Do you know if there is a way back after they have been munched by the cats? 

So I have managed to plants my already germinated seeds in to the open ground after germinating them in doors ina secure environment. 

Only to find wild cats eating my young growth how do I stop this? 

All and any advice would be great. 

Ps I'm not about hurting animals so many not that advice. 

How's the bushclearing going

Coming along well. Been a bit wet in the westerncape but hey almost there will send a picture of the progress as soon as it stops pouring. 

Would love to see the cctv footage... I've had my house broken into and my herb had been taken couldn't add it to the list though. 

But times have changed. 

That is gorgeous,

Yip. Hopefully we can now have an event in SA where we can showcase our grows? 

Admin any word on such an event.

Have you decided what genetics you'll be using yet?

Speaking of. 

Have you seen Rainbow Kush. 

I've attached an image of it below. 

Where I found this.

This would deffinatly be a show stopper!

Not quite genetics, but I know what you mean. My daytime cycle runs from 6pm to 6am, making it easier to keep the Temps low during the 'day cycle' the HID lighting lifts the temps whilst on for this cycle. During the daytime, my plants sleep, light is off and ac can do its thing to bring Temps down.

 

There is a lot of info that probably isn't being shared, because we deem it obvious, but once upon a time it wasn't, so keep asking questions and post pics once you start your grow.

 

Happy growing

So true its had been a concern of mine, leaving behind a unlawful foot print but now that I'm alowed to enjoy my hobby and talk about it, the questions are just running.

It's just amazing how much advice there is out there and how much it gets shared so willingly.

Cool bananas....

So guess brilliant white glossy paint then.....

 

That  being said, I stil stand by my scepticism about the whole question on having indoor in the first place...

 

Thoughts?

I guess its more of a personal prefferance. I'm looking to grow the ultimate bud. In an environment I can control, where I'm able to manipulate certain climate changes. 

I am still very much planting outdoors not with the legalization I've just got tomuch fertile soil I can use.

In conclusion

The stelth grow is more a hobby than just a means to grow my own.

Some strains are more prone to having a certain colour, however, the Temps play big role. If you control your night time Temps and bring it down to let's say 18deg, you have a good chance of it turning purplish. Some strains more so than others.

 

My daytime Temps run around 25,night time Temps around 18

definatly a reason for an indoor stelth grow. I enjoy growing and seeing how to manipulate growth for the ultimate yield but now that I can change genetics of a plant with light and temp. It just fires me up more to want to get this cupboard done. 

The excitement! 

Give it time, by your 3rd grow you'll be playing with Temps to modify colours etc.

You have just blown my mind. 

I really need to do more research, I was under the impression that different strains produced the different colour yields. Or are you referring to this pallet I've seen on one of the threads here.

It's for reflective purposes. It can be done without reflection, however, only your top nodes would swell. The mylar allows for even distribution maximizing yield. Do not use tinfoil hoping for the same result. Flat white is the next beat thing, just plain PVA will do the trick.

Thanks for the advice. You guys are all so forthcoming it's amazing.

You can always scavenge for unwanted sunscreens - the big shiny ones obviously......

My typa guy! 10 points there why didn't I think of this flip. I know one of the Chinese wholesalers where these are dirt cheep.

 

GIVE THIS MAN A DRAG!

 

I wouldn't suggest using anything other than Mylar or sissalation for reflective material. If car sunscreens use one of those materials then great. If they don't then I wouldn't suggest it

Thanks for the advice, will have alook into it. Can you tell me why you advise against it is there some sort of chemical reaction we are trying to avoid? What are the reason for the reflective material. Is it only for reflective properties? Or is it for insulation aswell?

You can just paint the inside white. 300watt Led or CFLs would be ok for this cub board. I have used the same steel cupboard as a veg tent. It did get hot though. I had to leave it open. That steel is quite hard. You will need an angle grinder to cut the vent holes. Then use computer fans as an in and out let. You will only be able to grow 1 or 2 plants in it. You will probably be better off selling it and buying a tent. But that is just my opinion. Good luck; AWE!!

You dont by any chance have pictures of the setup you had going so I can have a bit of an idea of how to go about it.  Were you doing and training with the plants then?

Will do some research on the mayor products. Tents arent very stelthy looking at getting this cupboard stealthy. 

But thank for the amazing advise on the lighting. 

Definatly sounds like a good Idea. What would be best lighting wise as I know this cabinet in the sun would retain alot of heat and in the cold the opersite...

So I've managed to get myself a steel cabinet well it really just was being tossed. 

I've looked around and seen some stealthy growcabnets. And though I could start a small project. 

But I'll leave it to you guys what do you think is the best set up for such a cupboard. 

Picture attached below.

Thanks for the direction definatly clears up alot. 

Its rediculous. 

Going to see how well it takes. Already germinated some seed getting it ready in planting trays. 

Next to plant them out and hope nature is good. Will post progress pics continsly.... 

Might look at letting other growers make use of this very fertile soil.
