  2. Hi guys I have a poit ph pen that i purchased off Amazon last year, I want to calibrate the pen, I have purchased a ph buffer solution of 7 from hydroponics.co.za however, the ph meter comes with a 6.86 ph powder to dissolve, would the difference of 0.14 create an issue? I usually ph at 6 and im growing in coco. Thanks Sent from my SM-N970F using Tapatalk
  3. I guess the quicker crop time is the reason as to why I go with autos but I might try some photos in the future. I did indeed build that light myself with parts that I got from DigiKey costed me a total of around R2500 including custom fees, that driver still has enough juice to power 2 more strips which unfortunately would not have fitted in my space since I only have half a square meter (50x100), might add those when I get my own place and have more space to grow but I dont think its necessary since my usage is around 50g a month so I need to hit 200g to sustain my needs which I have attained.

  4. Awesome stuff, will keep you posted on how she comes out, was hoping that she would be peeking out of that jiffy but unfortunately not yet, hopefully by tomoro... Sent from my SM-N970F using Tapatalk
  5. So far so good buddy, looking awesome! I also prefer a variety and envy those guys who open their stash box and find 6 different strains to choose from depending on how bad the was lol Sent from my SM-N970F using Tapatalk
  6. Sup Naughty, yeah I'm very very happy with the way things turned out and very very happy with the yield! The diodes are thoses samsung lm561 diodes, I believe it's the same diodes that are used on those quantum boards if I'm not mistaken, running them at 1050a and then dont get too hot at all. Anyway....embarrassingly enough I did start my next grow prematurely and the big bud wasnt done in the cupboard therefore I tried to keep the plants(blueberry auto) in the biltong box that doubles as an incubator and drying box lol which failed dismally, they started to flower prematurely and I tossed them in the bin :( I have now begun to germinate 1 guerilla glue seed and 1 dark devil (want to grow some purple flowers) both autos from bulk seed bank. Placed both seeds in jiffys this morning hopefully they should be peeking out from by the time I get home Sent from my SM-N970F using Tapatalk
  7. So I finally harvested and trimmed the big bud( took me 8 hours to trim) and these buds look way better than that of the white widow, unfortunately some of the larger colas developed some bud rot and this was definitely due to the heavy rain we had last week but nevertheless it was only 2 of the large coals, I picked up the issue early enough to not let alot of bud go to waste, after noticing the rot I broke up the bigger colas, decided I rather have small buds than no buds. The buds are so so dense that they can break a window if thrown hard enough lol and covered with Crystals even more than the white widow. Believe it or not the yield came out at 240g after discarding the 2 massive colas that had rot, I purchased 3 950ml mason jars that wasnt enough for the yield. Pleased with the total yield of 340g using 144watts which gave me a yield of 2.36g/w. Buds have a strong fruity aroma and look pretty good. Sent from my SM-N970F using Tapatalk
  8. Shot for the info, I havent tried not having a dark period but perhaps I will try it on the next grow Sent from my SM-N970F using Tapatalk
  9. Shot brother, I am very pleased with the way my first grow came out, honestly I ddnt do much besides the basics like ph and plant training so for the next grow I will just follow the same, should be able to start trimming in a few days time and thereafter get the final yield, will jar those babies up and let them cure. The white widow has been curing for almost 3 weeks now and she smells stronger and stronger by the day, will have a proper smoke in about 3 weeks or so and she would have been curing for about 5/6weeks....cant wait...

  10. Yeah I know what you mean, sometimes we just tend to try everything with the notion that we might f it up by not doing something crucial, will definitely post on the changes by thursday evening. Sent from my SM-N970F using Tapatalk
  11. With the white widow, I ddnt see much amber when I harvested since I started the flush a little early, after the 48 hours of darkness there was definitely noticable amber trichs, I'm not 100% if it was the dark period that actually caused them to amber but I will monitor the big bud and post my findings after 48 hours, the big bud was showing about 5% amber when dark period began.

  12. Lol shot Roasty, yeah those Samsung lm 561c diodes really pack a punch, harvested almost 100g from the first plant and this plants should yield more or less the same which would mean a total yield of 200g from 144watts which translates to 1.38g/w which I am very very pleased with, dont wana sound like I'm counting my chickens before they hatch but my fingers are crossed, I have begun the flush since I have seen about 5% amber, plants are now in dark phase so by thursday night I shall hand her to dry and it should be about 7 days thereafter and I will have the exact final yield....

  13. Update : big bud is enjoying absorbing all of the light in the grow cabinet, I have started seeing some amber trichs so have decided to start the flush and she should be coming down in a week or so buds smell like fresh guavas that makes my mouth salivate whenever I open the cabinet, cant wait to try these.....

  14. Hi buddy, welcome, I am also a new grower and have I am finishing up my first grow, I did a diy led setup which costed me around R2500 that produced a light that pulls 144 true watts that my plants are thriving in. I ordered the components( which is the Samsung led strips and a mean well driver to power them) there are many diy threads for lights as well that gives a comprehensive guide to building a monster light at a fraction of the cost compared to a commercially sold light, growopz also has some nice well prices options as well.

  15. Definitely is the most the rewarding plant to grow and has really sparked something, I am planning to grow some veggies at my mom's place as well....getting back to the good stuff, she was drying for 5 days until the smaller branches snapped instead bend and the buds had a crunchy feel, trimming was quite tedious but I was so excited to determine the yield of my first ever plant, she yielded a total of 99g of these frosty beautiful nugs, the buds are dense and firm to the touch and covered in trichs. The big bud should be coming down in a week or 2 depending on trichomes, I have decided to wait until I see some sort of amber before I start to flush I think I did a good job on the trim lol they look good to me.....I have kept all of the trim in a ziplock bag and left in the freezer, will collect trim from the other plant and process it into something, seem some kewl hash making videos on youtube so would like to experiment on that. Shot to all the guys for the advice and help during the grow [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my SM-N970F using Tapatalk
