  1. Ok, so this isn't Alice, but it's in the cab with her. I suspect it's a male. Can I get some confirmation please guys.
  2. @Jellytot, if you're planning on growing in your closet, I suggest 1st getting your ambient temp. If it's higher than 25 degrees in there, you could have issues with heat this time of year. Then also, a carbon filter would help with the smell and choose a strain that doesn't smell much. Apparently northern light isn't very stinky. Watering shouldn't be an issue if your pots have those saucer thingies. I drilled a small hole in mine with a piece of pipe that leads into a bottle to catch the run off. Another thing is the extraction fan, a good 120mm silent pc fan can move enough air in a small space. I'm still a noob at this, busy with my 1st grow, and these are issues I had initially. Also, I suggest getting some of that CCPS as your growing medium, it worked wonders for my plants. Start with bag seed, just to get a feel for it.
  3. Fantastic! Now you don't have to start from scratch :-hilariousscrog it! BONSAI!
  4. Shit bro that's a real bummer! I feel you did the right thing though. Imagine getting caught and you're not even a smoker!
  5. Shot GLO. The wood's been varnished, so it should be fine...
  6. It's been a few days, so it's update time. Also, compliments of the season guys! So yesterday I built a scrog net, the first attempt failed horribly, the second come out fine. So now it's just to wait until the net fills out? Hopefully the other 3 are females also.
  7. @TK, a friend recently did it. During the day (6am-6pm) she's outside, then he puts a big black bin over her that has an extraction fan hooked up to it. No light leaks at all, plant seems fine.
  8. Exciting times ahead @420SA! With that being said, do you think I should put her into flower now? My space is limited and I'd hate to move her outside (security could be an issue).
  9. Thanks man and shot for the pointers. I'm going to hold off on all other planned grows until Alice has flowered. I wish I knew what strain it is though.
  10. I'm just bummed about the NL considering I paid R180 for that seed. Next time I'll have better luck.
  11. I actually read up on this last night... So I killed them, swak! Thought it was the new medium. Game plan now is to see what Alice and her siblings do. Thanks again GLO :thumbups
  12. I've monitored my temps over time, basically the forecast vs the ambient temp in my garage vs the temp in the cab. So lets say its 20 according to the forecast, the garage is between 23 and 25, and the cab is 2 to 3 degrees higher. On the days where the forecast is above 26, I leave the door open. I have noticed that my additional fan ups the temp by 1 degree which i didn't expect. So check that too. I'm not sure if you've seen my grow cab and reflector, but I've noticed my heat problem is also due to the hot air gathering in the top of the reflector, I'm going to add a duct to it and extract that air directly out of the cab, in theory my garage and cab temps would be equal. FInd the coolest room in your house and put the cab there. Makes life easier.
  13. Yeah man! And it smells like ass! I just compost veggies though, I'm not convinced that meat and dairy would be good for my plants. Dimensions I'm not to sure about, but in the first pic you can roughly judge. I plan on LSTing the crap outta her, basically go the length of the cab. I have 3 45w 6500k cfl's in there, 2000 lumens each. Gonna switch out 2 of those for about 6 23w 2700k's when I flower. I'll hold off on the NL's, coz I'd veg her for atleast 2-3 months. By that time I fear Alice would have outgrown that cab. BTW, I've started a new grow in coco/perlite mix. Popped 4 beans, all sprouted and died 2-3 days later... No idea why, medium was damp. The middle of the stem went thin, the weight of the leaves made it buckle and that's it. Game over. Any ideas?
  14. Thanks @420SA. Epsom salts for the curling leaves and made worm tea and also fed with the liquid from the bokashi composter. She's been doing alot better since then.
  15. Hahaha, thanks GLO! How much longer do you think I should veg? I was planning on popping a northern light seed in too and let them flower together, but I might be sitting with a big plant by then... Thoughts?
  16. Update... I think I may be getting the hang of this now... successfully topped and attempting LST. They're back in the cabinet for now... "Alice" is doing alot better! Shot for all the help guys.
  17. I'm doing the same with my plant, going in a circle. As for the cab temps, I've realized that I have to wait until autumn for it to work, UNLESS you have aircon. I've tried ice packs, ice and bottles with ice water infront of the fan. Drops 1 or 2 degrees. Try changing the lights on period to night time... Mine are on from 4pm to 10am. The temps are not that bad with the change...
  18. I'm thinking LST... I just seems to be more controlled to me. I'm trying my hand at it myself, seems ok.
  19. She's looking lovely. Why not LST instead of Scrog? Considering the space...
  20. Then we'll carry on with little miss sickly! If I repot this one, is there a way to get her out of this JGS and into the CCPS or will she she be fine with the JGS and CCPS mix? Also, I got some Calcium Magnesium Nitrate Plus, they like little granules, how much do I use for a litre of water? N - 137g/kg Ca - 122g/kg Mg - 33g/kg B - 2.14g/kg
  21. Nah, I haven't, I fed with water and the liquid from the bokashi composter twice. That shit stinks hey That's a female right?
  22. My plant did the same thing, but it started as my plant went into veg. I think your JGS mix lasted longer because of your aquarium water... She's grown nicely :thumbups
