Thanks for all the kind words all. Not 100% sure of the exact composition of the soil but I specifically asked for the living organic soil mix with the worm casting and they immediately knew what I wanted, Hydro shop in Claremont Cape Town.

I'm pulling up a chair if you don't mind. First time grower here and nothing like having a bit of local knowledge. I'm also from Cape Town and have 2 nice genetics atm in DC OG and Vanilla. Will be getting a GSC next week once rooted so would be great to hook up sometime bud.

Anyhow an amazing setup you got

One question pls all.

What nutes would you all recommend for the veg cycle?

So far I only have Kelpak and Bio Bizz the Bio Grow.

Have a cheapie ph test kit, but would like the pen asap or even a ppm pen.

Recommendations on Ph in the begging of seeds and clones? I'm trying for between 5.5 and 6.

Well well well, spent over 20 years smoking the tree of knowledge and only most recently got the urge to grow for myself. Mid life crisis my wife tells me lol but fuck it you only live once and after recently loosing my father in law to cancer I'm getting this shit down  .

Wanted something built to last so grabbed myself some plywood sheets and made a box measuring inside 750mm x 1200mm x 2000mm

Lined it out with Sisalation

Placed some serious hinges and lock on to make it air and spy tight lol.

Had a bit of time to waste while waiting for lights and ventilation so made a 225 watt veg light for anyone interested.

Back to the action:

Got myself 3 x cree cbx3590 3500k cobs hit them together on some aluminium angle iron and rigged them up on some chain and converted turnbuckles for a easier adjustment.

Ventilation costed me a few joints pondering on size and whether to run it full or low, ended up getting a 150mm inline fan...overkill yes but I run it on low. It sucks far better than a Green point lady of the night and is fairly quiet. Still going to put it in a sound proof box and diy carbon filter needs to be attended to, needless to say the carbon filter is also going to set me back a few joints. Seriously need to look for a sponsor....Anyone?

Most importantly let me introduce myself and hope you all enjoy my ride and obviously all comments and guidance is appreciated.

I'm from Cape Town and keen to hook up with all, whether you in need of something or perhaps you can assist me. I'm growing in a mixed soil from hydro shop with all the good shit in it. Currently have 2 female clones of DC OG and Vanilla. Beans are for indoor bag those are 2 unknown from a friend and 2 Critical Mass and 2 Sour Diesel.

That's all for now thank you guys and gals, and no doubt they is something I have forgotten and will post soon.

Peace

First time grower her guys and this is my diy rig just built. Will get into that in the forums shortly.

I have 2 clones in there under the bags- DC OG and Vanilla.

In the black pots are beans from indoor I picked up over the last few weeks that I enjoyed that being Sour Diesel and Critical Mass. Currently under a few 75w cfl and I have a few Cree 3570 cobs at the top once things take off.

Now besides the 2 clones, I would really like to have some good genetics to start off with so that being said when can I collect them lololol.

Now to the community of 420, I introduce myself...HELLO !!!...It's good to be here and hopefully you all can assist me on my ride. I'm from Cape Town by the way.
