yes a hole saw :) 19mm grommet for return. 14mm for feed line and you want the holes as low as they can go. the plastic might warp over time so think ahead and you will be fine :) the grommets house the correct plastic pipe joiner so it should a flood be tighter than your bong seal. Very difficult to remove is the key. hot water to set it on and then run cold through almost guarantees a safeguard from having a flood.

I'm thinking coco is your veg issue. It shouldn't be compared to perlite although similar in ways of moisture retention, perlite is a game changer. I've seen enough growers change to perlite and never say the word coco again ;)

Sweet man do you get your fittings locally or online? Those aren't drip rings but feed rings?

get my fittings from the hardware store with the hoses... easy find, you can feel and see if they will be the right size.... they will be very tight and difficult to fit in.

feed ring is correct. it flows around 80-150 litres in 15 minutes, so the solution is consistently spread through the medium, totally saturated, and then left to sit and drip until the timer comes on again around 3 hours later. Perlite drains very fast, but holds a PERFECT ratio of water/air so growth is increased given the right food and conditions.

Porn time!!

a couple of shots of a primo in some daylight, followed by my current outdoor of the last cut Jack x Skunk (3rd gen)







Sparkle baby!! Sparkle in the sun!!! You gotta have you Spheres intact and on their stalks to have them glisten like that! not to mention a proper dry and cure





MMMmmmmmmmm outdoor. come on girl!!! show me what you can do outside!!! yield would be anyones guess at this rate!! she's re-vegged and going flat-out!







A cool green only filter effect . Cheers samsung for the cheap app :p

lol, they did come out ok didn't they :) that Samsung cam man, i tell ya, if you didnt know already i use a samsung WB150F 14.2mp. Shweet ass cam. That was with 0% zoom and less than 3cm away from the nug very high quality, the original pictures quality is incredible, i can zoom into the trichs and see their ripeness easily.

Thanx man!!! much appreciated.

Hi matey! Hope my thread becomes of use to you somehow :) welcome to RIU, and my thread!

Can't find those ”feed rings” anywhere flow

hmmm, i see now, this must be because the store themselves make them up, they just use the same plastic tubing that outdoor gardens use, and bend the tubing around in a circle and with a tube joiner, the poke some holes where needed and add some little pop in nipples easily found at garden nurseries, if they aren't as someone there where they came from :) I stupidly assumed they came like that, but i have made them up myself but a little different. If you have ever seen the plastic tubing around trees, its the same stuff.

Flowa that outdoory of yours is a beast!! Nice work :)

Looks like i'll be doing a sugar haze this round, both my indicas i wanted to run were males :( its cool though, im up for the challenge of trying to scrog a full sativa :lol: will just flower it a bit smaller than i would for an indica!!

Thanx Easty! I hope she return me well!! a fair chunk of risk having the skunk growing outside. It clearly stinks already, and only going to get much worse!!

Damn pity about the males, did you grow them out to collect some pollen? They might be a keeper strain to play with!

I have a little green baby that was given to me, i wasn't going to grow anything yet, but i have 2 choices and a surprise coming up not too far away.
The baby is a cutting of amsterdam gold, i've had the chance to grow this outdoors, and it shits all over the indoor that i get off my mate, BUT lets see what my system can do. I'm a tame but strong feeder and always monitor my nutrients and water, so I think i'll be fine. Timing is an issue. JUST had the inspection, so i'm not 'in front' so that takes my 4 weeks of veg away, and cuts my time for the given baby i have. I can grow my secret new strain slowly under a gro-lux set of tubes and when the next time comes by, i'll have a good and proper CRAZY MENTAL strain, thats going to make me weep with delight. :)

Man i can only imagine how stinky that girl will be hey, especially when she flowers!! Good luck hiding the stink lol

Yeah mate, kept one of the boys outside to get some pollen and to also pollinate my spare clone of sugar haze. So with any luck i'll have a sugar haze x Big blue (NLxBB) which should be nice :) we'll see hey!

Do you mean old school amsterdam gold? Like the outdoor strain from the 70's? Sick mate that would be wicked. Havent seen it even mentioned since the late 90's! Nice citrusy smell too if i remember right!!
Spewin about the timing for you though mate, im sure you'll find a good work around though ;)

Hi sorry if you have said this how many watts did you use for 1 plant and how long veg/flower ? I've got a tangerine dream its already 18 inches tall with 2. 35 watt cfl I plan on veggin with a 600 watt hps for a few weeks when its 20 inches I dont have a problem with heaight so I might not flip till 36 them flower with 1 more hps. On the side so 1200 watt for flower

Well Flowa, i think i jumped the gun a bit with my indica, turns out what i thought were balls were actually calyxes. I looked today and there are big yellow hairs coming out and no balls at all! So looks like i will be growing my indica this year :D pretty happy about that so will take clones tomorrow!!

So now i have 2 sugar haze clones! Think i might use some colloidal silver on one of them and seed up the other one and the rest of the NLxBB to get some seeds :) should be a good mix too!!

Ha! yeah, there wont be any hiding the smell, let alone the plant! she's already up to my chest in height (with pot as well) I think she's started to flower, it looks that way, but not a mass of white hairs yet, i can just see the nodes are getting closer together, a usual tell-tale. Come oooooon Baby girl!!!! i slowly watered her yesterday to see how much she'd drink before run-off, 6 litres! Every day i drench her, the slow release fertz will do their job and i'll just introduce a bit of potash for a few weeks and finish up with some swell :) She handled ALL the NPK i gave her and then some! No tip burn, just FLAT OUT growing!

Sick on the plants and clones man!!! :) i'm not sure on the amster gold, a mate got seeds when he went there for a trip after going to some growers festival or something where there were literally grows set up to have a look at and professional growers doing their thing in club like places. Very trustworthy seeds quality wise but not sure the guarantee on it being actual Amsterdam Gold from the 70's. All i know is you don't need to grow it massive as when she flowers the go long and stretch, a much Sativa blended gold strain but still grows big buds if grown properly! and has a more floral type pot pouri smell but musky kind of... still very noticeable.

I'll just grow a small plant to clone and get a few oscars to try. Still a couple of weeks veg will give me an easy 4 ounces at least i'm sure. After a topping and a bit of managing. 2 lights hehe ;)

Only 4 weeks veg matey. well 29 days actually, and Flowering was 55 days i believe... quote me if i'm wrong. Massively stoned.
If this is your first time grow, i would stick with basics and get accustomed with the whole idea first. 2 lights is stepping into new territory especially if you dont have the right setup and cooling for it. Having a light under or on the side you MUST remember if 1 leaf falls off and dries up, YOU HAVE A POTENTIAL FIRE. PLACEMENT IS CRUCIAL, SAFETY IS PRIORITY.

.@eastcoastmo where can u get colloidal silver and how much do u add haver herd about this befor and read a few threads but the 2 things all the threads i read never saids was how much ad where to get it

I bought a 500mL bottle of 50ppm online for $40 i think it was. Its called Oxi Min or something like that.

What you do is spray a branch or whole plant every day until you see balls start to form. Basically turning a female into a male but it will produce female pollen. So when i pollinate another female i will have feminized seeds. You start spraying a week before the flip to 12/12 but mine have been under 24hr light until today so i just started spraying today and will keep doing it until i see balls forming and then put them with my females :) pretty simple. You can also just collect the pollen and store it to pollinate later :D

Haha hmm if she's that big already she'll be massive by the time she's finished, with big fat buds on her though! She will reek the street out man!! Hope she doesnt give you away!

Sweet man, sounds like the amsterdam gold is a winner! Cant wait to see it done in your system :)

Snipped up the indica this morning so with any luck in a week or two i should have a rooted clone!! Then she should be ready for the tent when it gets cooler!! So happy she was a girl too and god damn she stinks already, a beautiful scent too :)

already a dead give away LOL!, this IS a huge risk, but have sensors all over the place so should be good, as for the smell there isn't much i can do! i might have to fence her in her own little area perhaps it may help a little.

Pics!!















A few white hairs!! how big she gonna get?

well my last outdoor came in at over 10 ounces, different strain but ALOT smaller! the weight shocked me in the end, I hope Jack Skunk will do ok!!! she's so beautifully healthy :) Gave her a taste of some Potash and Bloom base to spice her up and get things happening.
