Looking good man! How big is she? like do you have a pic of the entire plant?

@Heisenberg, I knew something was up, but I didn't have good enough pics to bring my message across to the forum.

@420SA, she fell and the roots were exposed to the sun for an unknown period of time, coulda been hours. Potted up, watered and following the advice of the homies here, I kept her out of the cabinet and direct sunlight until Tuesday. She's been back on the 18/6 cycle since then. I don't have an airpump just yet, but I figured I could grab a handful of fresh earthworm castings from my worm bin and leave that in the water for like an hour then water with that? Could that work?

Thanks guys, the whole plant was actually yellow, this pics didn't show it coz i have a shitty camera phone, but the new leaves seem to be showing positive change. Will water her tomorrow again, the soil started to pull away from the pot and the weight is almost the same as it was before watering.

Shot @420SA for the explanation and for removing this oke! LOL! I've been very paranoid lately. Over active imagination I suppose.

I'm curious, how do the admins filter new sign up's? Like is there even a way to know who's signing up?

Ok guys, it's been a few days, Alice is due for watering soon, probably gonna water tomorrow, but she's still yellow. The lowest set of leaves are yellower than before... What are your thoughts? I don't think she's dying, coz she's gotten bigger and new leaves are appearing.

Lol, I speak to her daily... In fact, she's looking greener towards the middle already

That's exactly why I did the bagseed first, for the learning curve and also, the NL seeds were pricey! R150 each from GSR. Hopefully they're decent.

Shot for the heads up Skolley, I'll be doing the drying in the cabinet as well, so my carbon should work then I'm excited already and I didn't even drop the NL bean yet. Trying my hand at bagseed first.

I like it... I like it alot!!

Thank you, will keep you posted on her progress over the next week. I'll keep her out of the cabinet, maybe in my room...

ok, I'll see how it goes and keep you posted. It should be fine for a 1 plant show though. And I believe Northern Lights isn't a smelly strain. I've read lotsa posts where the guys say it only smelt when disturbed.

IMO You cannot have a fan that is too strong only too noisy! Considering that your exhaust velocity will decrease dramatically if a scrubber is used and also the length and turns in your ducting would also be a factor. The fans specs will be maximum with the assumption that the air will flow directly in and out without obstruction. My Elicent fan that I want to use for the fridge can change air 70 times per minute. So that's more than enough to cater for my large carbon scrubber and the bends for my passive intake and exhaust. Shit son! and here I thought my fan was strong! :-hilariousClearly I have no clue! Ok, so my scrubber will be coffee tin, bottom removed and ducting going in on either side, there'll be a hole in the middle of the tin, that'll be my intake. the other ends of the ducting will go to the fans. If you can picture it, you'll understand it, lol! If you understand it, you'll know it'll work I've seen so many different DIY scrubbers online. I can picture it CK! How much carbon (kg's) do you think it holds? Mine's gonna be tiny SS, probably about a KG, plus the ducting should slow the extraction down so it leaves enough time for the carbon to do it's job. More or less when does the plant start to smell? Mostly in flower?

Subscribed! I want an old fridge now too :'(

For my cab size, 60 cfm will remove the air 4 times a minute, Reaf worked it out for me a while ago, but if it's gonna be sucking air through the scrubber and additional ducting, more sucking power can't be a bad thing right? My current fan is 87 CFM, but that thing belongs in a vacuum, lol. It literally sucked my panda wrap lining into the exhaust hole within seconds.

Noted sir! Thank you. I'll get her outta the sun asap! The growth hasn't stopped, she's growing faster after the incident, but the yellowing worries me. I'll take your advice and keep her out of direct sunlight for a few days and let you know how she does. Hopefully she's not buggered.

I've got her out of the cabinet and in the sun today. Maybe the natural light will help her along?

Shot for always being so helpful Sir Smokalot! I actually had a brain fart at 2am this morning. I'm going to get 2 x Deepcool 120mm ultra silent fans and use that as an extractor through carbon filter. The sucky part is that they are 12v fans, but I'll make it work. They rated 66 CFM and have a sound sig of 20db max. Low rpm as well. R160 a pop, which is cool! I'll draw my idea and post it sometime soon

That's great! Speaking of noisy fans, I bought a 120mm fan, this thing is so loud I can hear it from the street! So no exhaust fan for now, lol! I'm curious, how many plants do you grow at a time?

Can't wait to see what you come up with... The fridge might just be perfect for summer if it's in a cool room

I was thinking that same thing since the day I found her on the ground. I have no idea how long she was lying there, and in the direct sunlight too... I'm hoping it's that and not a soil issue. Shot for the pointers Sir Smokalot!

I've started my grow journal guys, feel free to pop by and help a noob http://www.420sa.co.za/index.php/topic,743.msg5914.html

Shot bud, I've actually been watering by weight. I weighed her before her 1st watering and went from there. I did feel the top of the soil, that was dry, stuck my finger in one of the holes in the bottom of the pot, that was damp, barely left any moisture on my finger. Also, I'm not sure what good drainage is supposed look like, but basically, I am watering once a week, expect for when I did that premature pot up. The amount of run off is close to, but less than half of the amount used to water, if that counts for anything?
