  2. You are correct! I forgot to factor in the required yield - from autos (experienced grower, good breeder/genetics, and heavy yielding strain), you'd need two medium plants to produce the 140+g to keep you going while your next crop is growing, but if you have enough juice light wise, you could probably push 200g out of a topped, lst/scrog'd regular/photo period plant in a 70x70x160, but then again, if grown from seed you add around a month onto your grow cycle (auto vs photo), so he might run out before next crop is done, you also have to factor in 7 to 10 days of drying and 45+ days of curing (minimum I cure before I start smoking my buds). That's the one thing about growing cannabis, one grower can achieve 200g from the same clones as the guy next door, who only achieves 60g, so many factors that come into play, so it makes it a bit hard to guestimate yields, but working off of my experience, a very cheap setup and beginner grower can get at least 50g of decent quality bud from a grow, barring any major incidents along the way (pests, deficiencies, toxicity, etc). Then lastly, a bit of research always makes a huge difference... in my opinion it's very beneficial to understand the stages of the plant, effects of light intensity and spectrum, understanding how plants update nutrients and how growing in different grow mediums have an effect on the buds in certain aspects (sweetness & taste, etc), such an amazing herb. Anyhow, all the best and happy growing!
  3. If you DIY your lights and exhaust fan setup (for a smaller tent a 12V 120mm high airflow server fan (around 150CFM) is a much cheaper option and is sufficient) and for a single plant DIY light you can get away for around R1500 all in (depending on what components you use), so you can still shave off quite a bit if you do a smaller (say 70x70x160) setup and DIY a few things.
  4. Episode 4 of my Dutch Passion Auto Daiquiri Lime grow is up on YouTube:

     

  5. Also, this is the light I used in my last grow - also from GrowOpz, superb light, zero compaints.
  6. Nice one lads. Enjoy. All the best with the DIY beast.
  7. Hey there guys, Thought I'd drop this here so long... Please let met know what you guys think: This forms part of the main Dutch Passion Auto Daiquiri Lime Grow Series (Forum Grow Report and YouTube Grow Series). I will be building this forum topic as I get time, so just sharing the video for now as I'm quite busy with my full time job, etc. I'll post some finer details if anyone is interested and can post some decent quality copies of the photos in the video for those interested in this sort of thing (DIY light building/tinkering with electronics). Hope you guys have a great weekend! Peace.
  8. Hey guys, Thanks a million for the warm welcome! I'll be posting some grow logs on the forum as well, just a bit crazy at work at present, but keep an eye out for them. I've also got some interesting stuff to share with you guys, from how I built my own custom LED lights to my own little automated 12V backup/failover lighting and air extraction system to help keep my plant happy during the loadshedding woes. My wife and I are also in the process of either selling our flat or renting it out, so once we've moved I'll also be getting into outdoor growing (my flat doesn't have a yard or suitable balcony) and since I love DIY, I'll be building my own little greenhouse, etc, so I'll be sure to share my journey with you guys, I'm also looking at upping my indoor plant count now that we know what the Cannabis Bill entails... Have a blessed day and remember to keep it clean, keep it green... Keep Blazin'... stay amazin'!
  9. Hey there 420sa community! Hope you guys are having a FANTASTIC day! I recently started a YouTube channel where I'll be doing some grow series videos... I'm currently busy with a Dutch Passion Auto Daiquiri Lime grow series and have an Auto Euforia grow series lined up as well. Link to my channel: GoodGrow on YouTube Please check out my Instagram account as well, you'll get a sneak peak of the Euforia grow there and I'll be adding some pics of the Daiquiri Lime grow at a later stage as well. GoodGrow on Instagram So that covers the intro, I hope you all have a blessed day! GoodGrow
