May this thread help some grower with this strain... On 16th may, the ladies were cut down and gave me after one week drying a solid 183g. I was only using half of the tent floor space so this score could be doubled easily. Yesterday, I harvested another half made from 4 plants that I wanted to...

As far as all suggestions are welcome ;) How do you measure your temp : doors off the drobe opened ot closed? If opened, you will soon not only have heat issues (sommer about to arrive in Europe) but smells problems too. Looking at your seedlings, you have maybe 2 weeks left (veg time, not...

Here we are with a little update of this topic. As of 13/04 they were looking like that (flower +31) : Notice that the young ladies upstair were brought to flowering the same day. I tried to lift them up a little, so the canopy takes benefit of the HPS at most. They first tooked little space...

The clones are in 3L airpots right now, but I may buy bigger one if needed. I heard that their results were equal to nearly twice the size of regular pots when grown properly. Maybe I should have gone with 1L for the mother... veg area is only 60cm high so I hope it won't reach the roof within...

Thanks for the kind words! Yes they did stretch but they were trained somehow before, thus developping lower branches and keeping their heigh as low as possible. I even thought I will make a scrog but was too lazzy to try this technique with an unknown strain. Btw the #1 already has +20cm...

Here's what I have in less than a gal pots. If you have a nice rootball, just water them enough and several times a day and it will do the trick ;)

Hi there, i've been reading you for a while, I thought it was time to also share some of my experience along with you. I started in 2001 with some bagseed and a 70W MH that was more intented to light a shop than a plant but learned alot from it. Then Internet and overgrow shew me the right...

Hi, Haven't look at all the post but it seems that the airpots were assembled upside down : the first line without holes should be put at the top, so they avoid the water to run away when you water them (considering the medium you put in it is around this level). One other way to recognize is...

Here are my 0,02€ Ordered back in 2000 several time from Gipsy seedsboutique, had to hide the cash in some alu and send it to him, always worked even if I won't do i again (post offices are always trying to ripe you off...). So 100% success with this one, even if it's been 13 years...

How is your hood like? I'm running an adjust a wing with a 400W hooked on it, all in a 120x80x140 homebox (the twin with upper veg room) only cooled by a Vents TT125 extractor running on low speed (220M3/h) and it works well. In fact, it does way better than with my cooltube : the bulb isn't...

What are they made of? I mean, if it goes pretty hot inside, how will the material react? Several copies of "homebox" have been hit by PVC issue 10 years ago, affecting both plants and people around the grow tents. I would stay away from such cheap cloths cabs and rather build a "sure to grow"...

Using insulated ducting too (a regular alu 125mm wrapped in some 1" thick rockwool, all wrapped in a very thing layer of alu/plastic to hold it all) between carbonfilter/fan/exhaust and it does pretty well. To counter the airflow noise issue, you can also add a silencer like a muffler at the end...

I would have upgraded to 600W in such a tent, way more doable with less heat/noise. This doesn't mean you don't have to use an oscilating fan in your tent to get some airflow around you canopee though. Is you ballast switchable to less watt? If yes run it under its max power, your isue will be...

Hi there, in fact you may ask yourself : do I want to buy something that will produce less heat thus less lumens (i.e. T8/T5/etc) and save on my electricity bill, or will I go on with what I do already have? A MH should be kept at a fair distance from your seedlings, as you already know it. On...

Hi there, if I were, you, I'll ask the permission to my parents before starting anything. Not that the smell is going to be the main concern, as it could be handled quite easily in such a small setup, but as you're still living in their house you grow op could cause troubles to yourself, and...
