  1. The ladies are around 60 days old now. 21 of those days were a struggle through crazy temperature/humidity fluctuations (had to get a thermostat/hygrostat) and high EC. The EC kept swinging out of control due to the blocks being reused and not being properly purged. The plants have happily recovered now. These girls go into slabs for flowering in the next week or two. EC 1.2 / pH 6.2 25C° / Humidity 62.5% 1L jug vs Lavender in 10cm Rockwool cube
  2. If a person has cannabinoids in their body, doesn't mean that they are intoxicated.
  3. Just be very sure that the unit takes 110v~240v!! An you might want a USA to RSA plug adapter.... Otherwise, the order is fulfilled by Amazon, so you are good for shipping being handled by Aramex. I can vouch for their service many times over. Cheapest delivery option usually arrives in 7-10 days.
  4. 600w is coolable with fans only. The issue is your ventilation.. If fresh air enters the room you can draw from there, but you have to get that hot air out for that to work! Properly exhausting the hot air makes a big difference, having a cool fresh intake too. The day temp is high, the room gets hot for an indoor garden. If you can, move the grow to a southern facing room. Alternatively better insulate the current room or the tent. What are the air temperatures at night when your system runs? I wouldn't worry about neighbours to much anymore, especially for a 600w grow. It is just a vent after all...
  5. We need more info to better advise you. What grow lights are you using? What is the total wattage of all the equipment in the grow room/tent? Is your Intake fresh air? what size inline? Is your exhaust venting away and outdoors? what size inline? What is the ambient temperature of the air at your intake? Is the room insulated? Is it North facing?
  6. Start growing with bagseed instead, far cheaper school fees. Grown properly it will knock the socks off the original bud you got it from.
  7. I actually have the 6" x 8" (150mm x 200mm) option, so it is a bit shorter. You can push or pull through them, so perhaps you can make it fit your situation. You don't need a rope to go rock climbing, it certainly helps when you fall I cool using positive pressure to further keep nasties out, a good filter is a must for me.
  8. Linda Seeds & Original Sensible Seeds are two great Spanish options. Linda has a well priced courier option that I am yet to try out. Female Seeds is a Dutch store with fantastic genetics. The parcels ship from the Dutch Caribbean Islands.
  9. Absolutely. Glad to support business ethic like this ^_^
  10. I use Phresh Intake Filter 6 in x 12 in 450 CFM to clean my intake. When I ordered them they were R1500 incl shipping + duties. With the current exchange it is around R2000
  11. I am always dubious of local seed sellers. Seeing a positive order or two here on the forums using Trophy Seeds, I decided to give them a try. Ordered from their selection of single female seeds and paid in cash. Trophy seeds respond quickly, are friendly and keep you updated on your order details. Shipping is discreet and well packaged. Delivery time was one business day outside of Gauteng. 100% Germination in 3 days. I thought one of the seeds might be cracked, tried germinating it, and it seems it may of been two seeds fused together.
  12. Nothing against Nutriplex as it works great, I have had many successful grows with it and will still be running it on other plants (not featured in this grow) I am switching to test if there are any gains to be had using a different nutrient range. Especially adding the calcium chelate as the water being used is extremely soft. Will be running some GHE too soon I hope, in the past I have had fantastic results from it. As for the dosage, the plants have just been switched to: EC 0.8 / 512 ppm 5ml micro / 4L 5ml grow / 4L 2.5ml bloom / 4L 0.4 ml EM / 4L Grown with Nutriplex - Female Seeds NL C99
  13. If you are asking that question you need to do a lot more reading. I am referring to a 250w Metal Halide bulb and 250w High Pressure Sodium bulb respectively. The former is for vegetative growth, the latter is for flowering.
  14. The girls slowed down a lot due to me overwatering and underfeeding by 0.4, terrified they dry out when I am not around. Corrected the issues and they are bouncing back in health. Will be switching next week from Nuttriplex to GreenHouse Powder Feeding (Short Flowering & Calcium). pH 5.8, EC 0.8 / 512 ppm Week 4 \
  15. You don't want to go higher than 250w in that tent. I am running a 250W MH in exactly the same setup and it is more than enough. If you go higher wattage you will have heat issues. Just grab the bulbs from your local electrical wholesaler., you will get both for less than the price of one bulb from a grow shop. If you have the time and feel capable, google how to wire a ballast for either MH or HPS. Then buy the ballast ignitor and capacitor at your local electrical wholesaler too. Otherwise just order a digital ballast most will run 250w, look for a model with a fan that cools the circuit board. Feel free to ask for help if you get stuck.
