Looks great so far, be careful re-potting. Did you get that tin foil down and wrapping paper up yet?

The cat in the ceiling is watching me masturbate!!! LMFAO!!! Brilliant - that really made me laugh longlive!! haha! Great avatar!
It's 0745am here at the moment - I'm just of to work (bloody stock-take). As soon as I get back at 12, I'll get that wrapping paper up!
Thanks for the supportive comment buddy - I really appreciate it!
Take care,
Me.

I went to a hardware store and bought some hard-board. I'm currently 'wrapping' these sheets of board with silver wrapping paper, nice and tight. I wrapped the boards so that a) the wrapping would be nice and tight and b) so that I can angle the boards when the plants get bigger to reflect the light up to the bottom leaves.
Does this sound like a plan? Methinks it'll be good, but then again, I am a novice
I'll post pics as soon as I'm done. I'd love to know what you think people!

Please could you give me a heads-up on the question I
asked on the previous page:
QUESTION:
The largest plant here has stretched a bit due to the distance of the lamp (I know it's a bit far away). Can I add top soil to the pot to 'bury' some of the stem? (to make it 'shorter' and more sturdy)???
I'm about to re-pot and I need to know.
Thank you

yes, you can bury some of the stem to get rid of the stretch.

Okay, so here are some photo's of the new boards:
They're about a billion times more reflective than the tin foil. You can see the difference (I left the tin foil on behind the boards):
Another pic to illustrate the difference:
One more:
And a happy lil' plant:
Moral of the story: Don't use tin foil. It's shit.
I'm off to get pots from B&Q.
Lemme know wot u think people!

Yay!!!! I'm no longer a stranger - I'm learning how to roll!! I guess I'll be using a bong until I've learnt!
Plants are well this morning. The biggest one has really moved on. You can clearly see the new leaves forming
Didn't get round to re-potting the smaller ones last night. I'll try and do it today.

I got my copy of 'Buds for Less' today
What a fantastic book! I'm very very happy with it - it'll be my bible
My biggest plant made some good progress over the last 24hrs. These 2 photo's illustrate the growth nicely:

I noticed this though on one of the smaller plants:
The tip is slightly curved upwards and has started to yellow at the very tip. I think it might be heat stress because it was pretty close to the lamp at one point. Can anyone confirm that?
I do suspect that the soil is a bit alkaline - around 8. My gauge isn't very reliable I don't think. Despite being new.
Today is day 8 for the bigger plant, day 5ish for the smaller ones.

ha! Strangely, the shower unit is in the spare (small) bedroom. If it was in the master bedroom, I'd probably use it properly! There's a perfectly good shower in the bathroom
A friend of mine has some HPS lamps for me to use - but in this veg. growth, I think you're right mate.
Cheers!
