My last autoflower run I got 365g off 3 small plants under a 240w QB running at 75%. I reckon had i utilized the space correctly, i woulda gotten more.

Lighting is a huge factor in your tent, but i think your overall environment is more important. Optimal conditions is what cranks out the yield in my case. I've noticed the differences when growing in different seasons. I'm with @Ill_Evan, quality over quantity.

i've added my 2c

Clip fans can be convenient, although price and lifespan is what has put me off.

The clip fans I have had, have not lasted long. How old are your clip fans, I assume they also run 24/7 ?

 

I see Hydroponic have a RAM clip fan, wonder if that may not last longer. Its like R600 though.

I bought 2 clip fans from futurama earlier this year. They stopped oscillating after 4 days. But i couldn't return it as i cut the plugs off. I wouldn't recommend anything other than a "real" desk fan. You can always mod it to take up less space

@Cyclone I suppose we can try a DIY solution for you? Maybe just go for a bog standard drying net and slap on a PC case fan at the top with a couple 9V batteries 

Exactly what i'm gonna do

I've washed my buds a few times. You'd be surprised how much shit actually lands on your plants. I grow in a tent in my spare room and my plants had dust and one or two stray hairs. Also a tiny fly or two. I does however change the flavours. I reckon its personal preference.

I bought 2 oscillating fans from futurama not too long ago, they stopped "looking around" after a week, but i had already changed the plugs. I reckon the those fans from clicks are good. Considering i paid R350 a fan

Hello and welcome @KaktusBoer. Your plants are looking befuck bru. I dig your system. Do you have any more details on it?

Awe homie! Long time yeah. Same here hey, just pop in now and then. Been busy with life.

Where's the pic of the other side of your panel? what are you running?

@CerealKilla do the COB lights have to have the Meanwell driver ? 

the driver is just the power supply. Meanwell is just the brand. Most cobs need to be driven. Some have built in drivers.

I agree with @Bospatrollie2. Organic soil and salts can sometimes have adverse effects.

I use biobizz with my soil and the nutes ALWAYS end up at 5.4 - 5.6 with dechlorinated water. My pH out the tap is around 9.5, drops to around 7.5 after the bubbling. Also, it's worth mentioning, my runoff was always higher than what i put in, around 6.5.

When i do run into issues like the one you have, it's mostly a lack of CalMag. I noticed one or two of your leaves look slightly twisty. That's also pointing to magnesium. I'd say flush at 6.0 and once she's ready for a watering, give the base feed and add some CalMag.

On the topic of organic soil with synth nutes, would promoting microbes do anything positive for a salt based diet? Will they still be effective considering organic nutes feed the microbes and not the plant so much. As far as my undestanding goes, synth nutes feed the plant, not the critters.

No one knows.. but we all will find out soon.. Welcome back bud.. where gave you been..

Be safe and be prepared.

Ahoy. Thanks man. It's been a while yeah. I've been off the scene for a bit. We'll see how it goes.

Howzit guys? We all knew that the extension would happen and there'll most likely be another and another. But one thing is certain, we are unraveling here at home. We find that if we stay out of each others way, there's calm. Hahaha.

Personally I think the lock down was timed well. And I'm glad that most people are doing their bit to flatten the curve. I do however have an issue with the stuff that's not being sold. At least allow us to buy hardware supplies at the stores who ALREADY carry them, like Pnp. I have some home maintenance to do, but simple things like silicone sealer is right there, on the shelf, but you can't buy it. Now is the time to get your place in order, but my hands are tied. I suppose i shoulda ran to the shops in the week leading up to lock down, but i was weary of the crowds.

Then there's theory's on WTF is actually going on? Are they using COVID-19 as a blanket name for every other cold/flu circulating the world and that's what making the numbers look the way they do? Social media and fake news is a problem. Are there major things happening in the back ground? Effectively this is changing the way the world operates and sets the tone going forward. WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

lol, the dealers will jump at this idea hey

Hahahaha! Fuck, this one got me again!

So a canapax opened in Strand. Anyone hear about it?

Maybe we should get someone on here with solar know how to recommend a basic setup that would just run our grow ops as a start

"While the government is still in a transitional period with regards to the legislation of dagga in South Africa, people found in possession of more than 115 grams of the plant are prosecuted under the Drug and Drug Trafficking Act of 1992."

Mine took 3 days from china to jozie, jozie to cpt 7 days. At the time i purchased your offering was priced at 8K, i paid R4500 for mine.

Awe, I'm with Greenkush, I got my QB288v2 from Meiju. Couldn't be happier! And you won't find QB's here in SA for cheaper. Not unless they look really kak

Aaaaaah i see. Thanks for that. Coz i actually bought a big airstone to assist with a better spread.

Awe Patty, the girls are looking lekker man! Are those 20L pots?

For more air bru. The airstones restricts it by a bit and puts out bubbles smaller than skittles

I thought you needed losta small bubbles to oxygenate the water properly

this may be a noob question, but why do you leave the airstones off?

Chopped the last of the autoflowers yesterday...

This is the best news! Awesome man!
