Finally Finished my cabinet, though I cannot take decent picture with the lights on and only one on isn't enough to show the stuff off, furthermore I can't get the shitty phone I bought to upload the photo's, it refuses to Sync. Any help with taking pictures properly would be nice.

Anyways the finished product is a stationery cabinet (2000mm high 400mm deep and 900mm wide) with a mother/cloning/clone section, the mothers are under 10 24 watt globes with room for 6th presently though I am going to downsize the hempies I made they are making the mums to big (4-5L pots) and have the option of ~12, the cloning room is two little tote boxes with room for 26 clones powered by a 2 port aqua one pump though I am getting one of the better ones (bought headphones instead) with a single 24w globe for light in a standard desk lamp fitting, and third and what I have just finished is a clone Veg room with space for 27 clones (15 atm, and 7 seedlings) this is lit by 4 45mm fluoro fittings bolted to a shelf.

I really need to scab a camera that is decent and show you guys but my budget is tight and the only person I know who'll let me borrow one is my sister who I never see.

As for my little clones in winter experiment I put 2 8 inch clones out both are ~12 inches tall now after a week and have not even sprouted preflower pistils so I think they could get to almost 2 foot before they start flowering and previous experience with the strain would put them at the end of flower at 5-6 foot with summer sun so may be 4 foot with the winter sun yeilding approx 2-4 ounces each. If everything goes well as it has been in the next fortnight I'll put out another 20 or so clones/seedlings and go from there though I am finally hoping for some decent results. And with the potential to do a 26 plant run every week I am only limited by how many sites I need to scout ~4 more for 8 total, though I am getting a little to large and ahead of myself.

I'll keep you all posted and try and get some photo's.

I was thinking the same but was sure that you would know spider mite eggs if you saw them.

If what I can see are larger white fluffy spots and smaller "eggs" surrounding them, I would say that you have a type of aphid infestation - "woolley aphids" possibly.

Mix up a batch of nicotine spray (cigarette butts boiled for a while, strained then add a bit of detergent). That should kill them if you make sure that you hit them with the spray.

Looks like aphids to me. I would just smoosh them with my fingers. I wouldnt spray anything that late in flower but definitely keep an eye out for anymore of them. If it was earlier in flower i would suggest spinosad which works really well against any sap suckers. It is also organic!

Wondered where you've been 25 or so pages and no sightings.

I was OK when I was just smoking Red Dragon, but when I added Magic Bud into the mix I seem to have come unstuck :-)

Lost a lot of what little motivation I had to begin with, and pretty much drifted along for the last month.

Still happily torturing plants, ready to harvest my LSD scrog in a week or two and replace it with Tangerine Dream ... got Acapulco Gold cloned and Pineapple Chunk just sprouted.

Sorta got to a stage where everything is following after the one before, and my grow is officially a perpetual system spitting out fresh buds every 5 or 6 weeks.

So, where I've been is in my own little world .... nah, that's not right ... I know where I have been ...


... ever heard of MINECRAFT ?

Good to see you are alive and well @Grump's, sorry.... i mean that your plants are doing well ;) hehe.
bummer cos i was really looking forward to seeing your harvested buds and a final ScrOG shot......

@Odlaw--Ya clone IS the BARRA' fucking sweet as mate! oh and nice job on getting the top to root aswell, can be tricky cloning from that high up. As for ya eggs yeah im with n1 and Grumpy tho i have never had an infestation that bad, so i cant fully tell, plus my junkie types need a 'in ya face macro pic' to give a proper viewing diagnosis lol ;)

Oh' @Chunky, ya veg cab is sounding sweet man, but if you dont get a camera that will upload soon, i will explode in rage and then i will have to fix myself back together and then i will have to send you my Donga' of a one that still does the job for free, just so i dont have to listen to another "im gonna get some pics soon, but my crappy phone......" again hahaha lol, Nah all good brother im just fuckin with ya :bigjoint: but yeah pics are the food that that i feed on while im at RIU....

Anyways......my whole reason of posting was to say i been building in the shed again....i am working/experimenting (for fun) a cascading filter for my E+F res, this one i knocked up real quick (prototype #1) and works but i need a better one, so back to the drawing board, next one will be 3-4 tier's instead of 2.

and here is my DYI sealing arrangement for my doors on my cab, like i said i love to build and fuck-arse about with shit, so there is no extra main avantage for having these (oh except for the door closer, cos i kept banging me head on the extra long clamp i was using to hold both doors shut) just bored onna rainy day ;)

Hey Tricka

Here is a pikkie of the day she died :-)

110328 MB top view.jpg

I will be updating my "grumpy" thread soon(ish) to show the whole grow from clone to chop, but I will also add my current L.S.D. grow for comparison - amazing what difference a different strain makes.
I won't be growing the Magic Bud again, it's a nice enough high but the high only lasts about half as long as the Red Dragon and it isn't as potent.

edited to throw up a pikkie of the L.S.D that should be being chopped in a week or twos time.

"Advertised" flowering period is up in a week but she is still throwing tons of fresh pistils.
Trichomes were born cloudy - never appeared clear at all. So far there are no amber trichomes and I will chop as soon as I find more than 1%.
She is a smelly biatch - thank god for the sea breezes to disperse the smell.

Odlaw, you know im a noob, and no expert, but I had a few little bugs turn up, and after introducing lady beetles all the bugs dissapeared, and nothing new has arrived. I keep a moist paper towel in there for them to drink, and they eat non acidic fruit, raisins are good, with food and water the lady bugs will live in there and patrol every nook and cranny of the plant for you. Its free, and causes no harm to your plant :)

Oh forgot to say, lady beetles will devour 50 adult aphids a day.
