  1. Hi all I'm a tattoo artist who loves the creative edge i get from really good indoor. My growing passion has only been ignited due so an unforseen illness but like I like to believe everything happens for a reason. Peace
  2. You can have the cylinder refilled at a paint ball shop. Should cost around a R100. I ordered a co2 meter just waiting for it to arrive still.
  3. Once I get everything 100% right I will let you know how this works.
  4. Hi Bones I have been doing a lot of reading and from my research co2 will only be effective if you have your environment spot on. I found a cool co2 kit at a pet store for R1425
  5. I used my home built diy led. It has 8 6500k down lights and 4 2700k down lights. I soaked the rockwool in ph 6 water over night and gave them a gentle shake before putting seeds in. No nutrients in rock wool but yesterday I made a very weak solution with nutriplex. Over night the colour improved.
  6. I'm going to be putting them into the bubbleponics dwc tomorrow. Hopefully that sorts them out.
  7. the light is about 30 cm away.
  8. Hey guys and gals Need some help, so this being my first grow and all I'm not quite sure if my seedlings are okay. They are 7 days old. I have got them in a humidity dome under 18 hours led. I'm growing 2 auto flowering Ogres and a auto flowering purple ryder. The white leaves look like light bleaching but I'm not sure. Any thoughts? Respect
  9. welcome guys. so good to see this forum growing. Respect
  10. I have ordered a Co2 meter. The. book I'm reading called "how to grow elite marijuana" by Ryan Riley Says you should aim for around 1500ppm, I'm still fine tuning the extraction. I'm building a box that will go on top of the grow box that will have 2 small pc fans that suck the air out the top into it. This smaller box with have its walls lined with activated carbon as well as a small ozone generator. I don't want any ozone escaping into the grow box that's why I have opted for a external unit. This unit will have a larger pc fan on the outside pulling air out through one small hole. In theory this should control smell. I have decided to go with nutriplex. My first grow with be some purple ryder autoflowering seeds I got from green smoke room. I basically just want to use the first grow to fine tune everything.
  11. To be honest I spent a lot more than I should of. I got pretty high one night and after reading something about how well led's work I got a bit carried away. I bought equipment in drips and drabs so did not really look at over all cost. I wanted the lights to be in the higher range because I will be supplementing with Co2. The DWC bucket I'm building is a replica of stealth hydro bubbleponics model. I just tweaked it by adding two very large air stones on two air pumps. also I'm only doing two net pots instead of six as I'm building a scrog. Two plants will fill the canopy in that space just fine. I will post more pics as I build. I have a really over the top cooling system and I'm busy putting together a cleaver system to reduce smell. I'm also adding a negative ion generator to help with smell and plant health. I have also got a humidifier and a dehumidifier that will be hooked up to a atmospheric control. I do realise I have gone way over the top with this grow box especially since its my first grow. Here is a pic of the Co2 kit I got.
  12. I'm Thinking of getting two more of the 45 watt cfls so I can hang one from each corner. What I was going for was even light distribution from different sources. Most of the lights are all at 6500K except 4 of the down lights witch are at 2700K Once I get into flowering stage I will swap out all bulbs for 2700k ones
  13. yes the T8's will be mounted vertically on the front left and right. They will be just above the level of the dwc bucket. The Red Dawn led will be attached to the back wall at the level of the scrog centered. My Diy Led down lights will be attached on a pully system so you can lower and raise as needed. The clfs will hang from the roof and will also be able to be moved to where they are needed.
  14. Hey Guys I'm busy building my Grow box, and I need some advice. its a 60cm x 60cm x 180cm I have just sealed and painted it with a anti mildew paint. I will be covering it in mylar as well. My question is do I have enough light. I have built a small Led diy contraption, I also have two T8 600mm Fluorescent tubes, as well as two 45 watt cfls. I also bought a red dawn super harvest led from Hydro Herb Africa that I want to test out. So in total watt and lumens here are the specs. 60 watts of led down lights at 3000 lumen 36 watts of fluorescent tubes at 2200 lumen 90 watts of cfl's at 5200 lumen I'm not sure what the lumen value is on the red dawn led, but I know it's 14 watt. I'm going to be doing a two plant dwc grow. Do u think I need more lights? I'm taking my time with this build and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Respect
  15. here is the link http://www.dehumidify.co.za/
  16. hey guys the best one for what we want to use it for is the 6l humid X dehumidifier. They go for around 900. The company is based in great brak. so just Google it.
  17. Hi all Inkfreek here from kzn, been smoking on and off for 12 years. I recently also was diagnosed with the big C. In my quest to get my health back on my terms I'm going to be starting my own grows to produce cannabis oil. Very grateful to have a forum where I can ask questions to help me along this adventure. Respect to all
  18. hey guys anyone had any luck with nutriplex
