Cheers Cola but i recon your doing ok and that guy Baudelaire seems to like you bro, well he speaks to you anyway lol. I always feed them to runoff, i don’t measure it but it’s probably been at least 20%. I’ll switch them to 12/12 tomorrow for 3 days then back to 18hr day so i can identify the males and veg the females for a week or so longer :thumbsup:

Thanks pal i’m trying to keep all my stuff in one place, for now anyway. Forum mods don’t usually like it when members create multiple posts, especially recent members. Also i’m no diary keeper, the only things i do with regularity is get up and get stoned :thumbsup:

The plants still arn’t looking too happy, ph issues not resolved so i’m thinking those AN nutes don’t work well with our tap water. I had a hunt and found an almost full bottle of ionic grow, about 1 year old but it looks ok so a big flush with 0.7 ec (inc 0.5ml/l calmag) ph 5.8. Got a runoff ec of 0.65 at 5.9 so it’s not been overfeeding to blame eh. I’ll take some pics tomorrow. A

I still hoping i can recover them ok but those AN nutes just dont seem to suit our tap water here.

I sneaked a few pics of the missis wee auto tent to show the damage there. The blackberry auto (middle) got flushed with ionic yesterday and is already picking up.

I changed up her outlet duct from 4" to 5" today to help reduce the roar from it when running hard.

Some pics of a control unit i made yesterday, it’s actually for a pals winery but it could easily control a decent sized grow.

The extra relay allows up to 30A of heating load and the inbuilt relay can handle up to a 20A ventilation load.

Fancy shaped wiring and everything you crack me up bro. Nice work btw. Again btw. Btw :sweat_smile:

lol cheers bro, there is a couple of 30A terminal block busbars still to fit in there for the returns and earths which are all common. I’ll do that when i install the thing. I started out with good intentions with the wiring but it took longer than i thought it would as usual and by the time i did the heavy 4mm stuff i had kind of lost patience. I just wanted it to be functional and finished :grin:

Bought a small used humidifier cheap off ebay to help with the leaf curl issues. We cant seem to raise the RH enough when in veg, it’s so dry in this place and i’m used to the reverse. VPD is too high and they are suffering, tried the usual - flooded trays, damp cloths etc no good. Got them all potted up and slowed the extraction down today. That should help a bit anyway.

The bigger pots hold more water so RH is hovering around 55% with the lights on now, i’m spraying them more too. The weather here is cooler and that’s helping. They are looking better now so just waiting till they show sex and i’ll take a few cuttings and pull the males.

A dinky wee humidifier the size of a kettle just turned up so hopefully i can bring the RH up a bit higher when in veg now :thumbsup:

I’ve got that wee vicks humidifier going now and i’m quite impressed so far. It’s very quiet and puts out a visible jet of cool damp air. I plugged it into the same socket bar that’s powering my drivers so it’ll go on and off along with the lights. Time will tell…

A last group shot before i start pulling males. Two showing signs of nads tonight so not long till i get stanleys knife out again :grin:

The front right satori is in a hempy bucket, i took it out to try a better shot, still crap but i now get how i look like a completely different person sometimes in photos.


Same plant different angle

She thinks that one’s probably a boy but too early to be sure.

I tried for a better group shot today, maybe a bit better…


I took a purple badlands out for inspection, looks like a male and so does another of them so i might only get one female PB sadly.

I might make a new thread just for my plants, this one is getting very long now and it’s probably too cluttered up with all my other sh*t.
