First two attempts were dismal, all a learning curve.
Finally, we seem to be doing it right.
39 days old (bag seed), she's been tied down, correct nutes etc.
I'm absolutely amazed by the nutes I've been using. Hydrobotanics. I'm not sure if it's available outside AU.
Proud of her so far...
Bought a few from Bonza, destined for Brisbane. Never received.

I wish I could run my stuff at night, but unfortunately can't now. Only have 1 portable aircon so during the day it's used for the plants, at night, for humans. (Brissy here too)
The plants have been under flower for about 3 weeks now (We believe they're Indica dominant). We identified 1 male and 1 female, got rid of the male. (That was more than a week ago)
What's strange is, the other plants refuse to show confirmed signs of sex (4 plants remaining)
They're bag seeds...
$2 from eBay http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575015020&toolid=10001&campid=5337086430&customid=&icep_item=390507009131&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229515&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg
200x is overkill. I have one and it's too powerful. I stick with the 35x...
You'll want to invest in a portable aircon. I bought mine for $135, 2nd hand. When I didn't have the aircon, my 2 plants died due to heat stress etc, so I waited until I had $ for the aircon and started a new grow from seed. So far so good.
I've read that Indicas induce couch lock and Sativas help with creativity. What I'd like to know is what strain you use so you're still functional, sort of, but your mind's set free.
A video I watched said a lot of New Yorkers smoke a strain called 'Sour Diesel' because it helps them think...
Thanks for the replies guys.
Heat isn't an issue now as we bought a portable aircon. Sits at a pretty 22 - 25c. If the leaves look droppy, that's because I'd just misted them a few secs before the shot so it could be the weight of the water droplets. I had NO IDEA it could harm the plant. I'll...
This is my first successful grow so far. Fingers crossed we get to the finish line. My 1 plant from before had to be taken down (stress, heat etc) I did make some clones of it though.
The large ones pictured are about 4 weeks old, from bag seeds.
Cheers
If anyone's interested, my water...
The main plant was on 12/12 for about 2-3 weeks. We had to move the grow room because of a few heat issues, took quick clones of the main plant and put it in for propagation.
