Are you seeing an improvement?

Warning about the silica noted. Thanks!

The girls got their first round of bondage tonight.. took it easy as it's my first time playing dominatrix. Before During After Now that I have some chains on them I will tighten gradually and keep them towing the line.

Cool With the silica (excluding any Amino) my res goes cloudy once I add the canna A and B... but as soon as I adjust the PH down to acceptable level the water goes back to clear . But Amino makes it a slight brown and after a day some froth on top, slightly cloudy and a bit slimy for lack of a better word. Think I will just feed it separately once in a while going forward. And not add it to the res itself. Take out 10l from the res for example and just add it in there and feed. Will f@ck with my automatic watering plans, but a a manual watering once a week was ons the cards in any case

Kinda my experience exactly! Did you notice any negative effects on plants themselves.. apart from the 'hardware issues' that is? Don't know if I like that shit. I like things clean and sparkly

Thanks for the advice Even though it is not ideal from a "time management" perspective, I will do this until someone can confirm it is okay to have it sit in the rez.

Hey Thanks! Still early days, but happy thus far. Coco/perlite mix from Freedom Farms. Feeding Canna A and B, a smidge of silica and a touch of Calmag. These maidens are all Mango Sapphire from Humboldt. Will only flower the best 8 of the 10. Two pheno's clearly standing out already from a veg perspective. Hope to find 1 keeper amongst them. Started adding a light dose of Canna Pro Amino Boost on Saturday. But a bit concerned about having this stand in the reservoir. I feed daily, but mix a fresh batch every 4 days, and keep a water pump and air pump in the rez to circulate. Any experience with having Amino Boost sitting in a rez for a few days? Reason for concern is that it turns the feed a slight brown color (not an issue), and after a day it went a bit cloudy (more of a concern).

Okay, thought I would somewhat document my first indoor attempt. The plants were potted up to 7l pots on Wednesday and moved from the mother/clone box on Friday to the grow room. Seems as though they are enjoying the 600w MH. Some pics for context. Before transplant Transplant - could probably have done it sooner After the move Two weeks and I plan on potting them up in their final pots. Will then switch on the second 600w light and have them fill the space. Keep safe!

Looks awesome.. what EC you feeding at currently?

Hahah..Looking forward to how this plays out. Worst case we have a good laugh and know what not to do.. Respect for your contribution to science!

Hey @greenkush I am using BioLeaf at the moment.. and canna nutrients. So far ok, nothing real to complain about.. yet I am not 100% sure about the BioLeaf. Spoke to one of their staff members and according to him it is washed,rinsed and buffered. But if I take "virgin" BioLeaf and run some very low EC water (winkel water) through it I get a run-off EC of 1.4. Normal?? What issues did you experience? In your opinion definitely not buffered and ready to go straight out of the bag? Am considering FF coco and perlite mix when I pot up next. Any other options you recommend? Apart from doing it from scratch with a coco brick and perlite.

Dankie!

Got it as a freebie from Bud Buddies, their in house brand. BCN Critical XXL.. to be honest not impressed at all. Bud structure very leafy and buds generally fluffy. Don't think the exceptional heat we had over the last two months in the Cape helped her, but in my opinion inferior genetics/pheno compared to the Fast Buds auto that grew quite nicely. Should have harvested her a while ago but could not be bothered. She will most likely get the chop this week and go into the extracts bin. She might just serve a purpose for some sleep meds.

Haha.. eventually it will probably end up there

Thanks.. must be honest, the majority of the 'construction' was done by the brother in law.. he owed me a favour or two. My hands are a bit round when it comes carpentry and screws... proud part will come if I manage to eventually pull something top shelf out of there

Thanks Cupboard is for early veg and clones. Maybe a mother or two if I find something worth keeping. Two Growopz 75w fixtures in there.. big saving on the Eskom and much less waste compared to having 600w HID on them.

Hi all Thought I would start off courteously and introduce myself. Been growing outdoors for a number of years, and at risk of sounding vain, I feel I have pretty much reached my full potential given the natural constraints inherent to an outdoor grow. My outdoor grows are organic, with either Freedom Farms or Orgasoilux along with mostly the Biobizz nutrient range. I like to use the odd dose of Nitrosol, molasses and Epsom salt too. Used the Freedom Farms Antifragile soil as test this year and thus far I am quite impressed (only used it as a third of the medium in each pot). Having to wait from May to November each year for summer to come around has forced my hand in setting up an indoor grow. Currently on my first run, plants at 3 weeks and so far so good. Indoor I am going for coco and salt based nutrients, and will have to pick some brains here to assist with the unknown. Anyway, that's enough about me for now. Looking forward to this journey of mastering the indoor side of things. Hopefully I can give back or at least pay forward the knowledge obtained here. Apologies for the "low" resolution pictures. My photography skills have never been much to write home about. Respect
