Put this screen in today.
Have taken 4 cuttings in rockwool. I will flip to 12/12 tonight as I need to buy a timer.

I used my light timer for pump cycles so have vegged the whole way @24/0 :)

I have a mate who has some 40w 2700k cfls to add in. Should be phun.bongsmilie

And this is where we're at.
It's the beginning of week 4 flower.

Bit worried about the lack of flowers.

Maybe because I didn't give it 24hrs darkness when I flipped to 12/12...

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Peace ;)

looking good Funt....how long have they been at 12/12, most strains will start showing preflowers with 5-7 days

I had a Mexican strain that would not trip at 12/12, so i had to add an extra hour of darkness (11/13)

Nice! Seems in perfect conditions! I've never used em, but I heard great things from dutch master nute line. Your humidity however will need to be lowered when flowering. It's fine for Vegg, but when you flip, thats gonna cause mite or mold issues. 30-45% is the most I'd go for flowering..

Hmmm.. I might try making a second inlet. The hole I cut in the bottom of cupboard can probably be twice the size.

Then the fan won't have to work so hard then either ;)

Ya that should help, if worst comes to worst ( I know you dont have much room to work with) but stick a dehumidifier in there.

Looking good dude I'll be coming by to check out progress.

I use 13 hours of darkness to initiate flowering and I get very good results. I've read it is somehow beneficial compared to just 12/12

I always go from my veg cycle to flower in chunks. I believe straight 18/6 to 12/12 may cause shock

Interesting insight, I'll have to try this sometime.

Sounds fair enough. In nature the hours of light gradually change I guess. Will try this on my next grow ;)

Been lazy with pictures. Got some buds happening now looking tight :)

Will upload pics tomorrow
