Haha, good ones there dura :D At least you have nutes to give them nute burn, i went to the store a bit back and bought some more flowering nutes, only i bought part a flowering and part b veg doh, and my car battery is now flat and i've lost my jump leads. Gonna give them water tonight, nice little flush and then jog on down to the store in the morning :S Still growing the cheese and am just shy of 8 weeks on the first sweet tooth. Once again i cocked up my clone timing and such so my next plant in is a cheese clone that is still trying to veg back from flowering, think she's just about ready to start growing. After that it's AK-48 and some LSD. S'all good other than i'm not growing enough plants, want to have more going.

The cheese is 6 weeks old so another 3 weeks left on them. They've just started to put on weight at a fierce rate.
 
Right, so finally got my new grow box sorted, I currently have 3 45watt CFL's and will probably buy another. Using a NFT hydro kit too. Will this setup be adequate for 1 or 2 plants max?

Ooo, just looked at my diary, just 8 days left on the sweet tooth roughly, think i might just start it's flush now and hope it finishes in 9 weeks :)

That box looks fairly small so i think it would be best to just go with the 1 plant. Don't want it to get real crowded so the bulbs get blocked out by leaves etc. How noisy is that unit when the pump is running getinnocuous? My DWC system is great but it's a tad loud at night for my liking (the bubbles are actually louder than a pair of desk fans)

its all lemon, amnesia or silva haze, blue cheese or master kush, paying £20 for 1.4 or 280 oz. sucks.... hence why iv invested in a hydro garden :)

Surprisingly quiet, I can get to sleep with it on which is handy as the box is right next to my bed.

Any recommendations on a strain to grow?

Well i can get to sleepo with mine running, just you can hear it, meaning if there is company in the room while the coputers are not on, then it's hey, what's that funny rushing sound from your cupboard :lol:

As to a strain, i'm not the best for giving a recommendation, i'm still mainly growing out the one same strain at present with the odd bit of this and that here and there.

Sweet Tooth (Barney's) Apparently it should be done in about a week, i don't think that's quite going to happen from the looks of her.

chopped my critical mass last wk, burnt the fuck out of em in the 1st few wks with too much mollasess but the 5 plants still yielded 16oz and the smoke i was very impressed with, really skunky smell and flavour got another 5 4wks in flower minus the burntness n looking very nice.

critical mass from mr nice is spose to be the origanal bigbud??? very impressed so far tho.

Looking nice TT, they are some monster colas! How do you flush? with molasses or just plain water?
The Sweettooth colas are litearlly cola an sized, i was going to get one in the photo but i don't have one :P I'm completely DWC at the moment and i am aware that while it can be done, molasses in DWC can be a right pain the the arse, instant froth, so i just give them 30L of plain water for 1-2 weeks, topping up with more as needed. I'm not really seeing much benefit from flushing though, not in the sense that it does or doesn't work, but i find near all smoke very harsh and gives me really bad gag reflexes, so regardless what i have, it's never smooth going. Currently water is all i have, ran out of nutes, so they just gotta do what they gotta do.

Thats a shame mate about your gagging, could it have something to do with the nutes you use? Some smoke makes me cough as well especially when it burns like charcoal. Are there any organic nutes you could use in dwc? Ive heard the botanicare line is pretty good in hydro. May help your cough, ive heard its a smoother smoke, gona try organics next grow For sure.

I hear you on the nutes thing. Ive run out fully of PK a week early.. DOH! gonna have to substitute with some bio nutes lol. Just means half a bottle of bloom every watering.

I reckon the gag reflex is because of hot smoke or something, have learnt to slow down my takes, but when I'm drinking I have a habit of being dosey and ha. I barely ever cough though. Silly me got it the wrong way around :D

Did folk have an enjoyable bonfire night? Just lots of rain down here so watched through the glass.

Woop, it appears i finally have a genuine reason to have a little bit of noise at night, now that winter is on and it's getting chilly my kitchen, which is next to my bathroom is having condensation issues, so now i get to install a loud enough to be heard extractor fan in the attic to exhaust as much steam etc up the chimneys as i can.
