Hey Man

These are the 2 i have been looking at haha same seller also odlaw recommended the shop so i checked it found these, also the next one up 1.2x1.2x2m one.

Not sure but think I might have to do some more reading etc to get a better idea, crossed thoughts at the moment

Thanks

yeah mate they are good i spent about 300 odd dollars with them guys maybe more waiting for my 3rd order to come through lol.

bout the cheapeast you will get and like another 5% off if you buy direct.

yeah there is some good deals there yeah any of those tents would be fine id imagine the smallest one was't there before i prolly would of got that
would of been good.

all just depends on what you want and how much space you got.

Nah that girls' chillin in my backyard,BTW i was right about that hairy bitch she/he is a hermie & ive picked a few bananas off it.

I investigated a few particularly swolen calyxses (calyxi? meh) and found underdeveloped seed embryos.Fukin tranny!

Hopefully wont have to go out to my patch for at least a couple weeks,havent had much sun and been a bit of rain so i recon i can stretch it a bit,anything to avoid those fukin choppers that have seemed way too frequent lately.

Hey OZgirl

Nice setup, Did you get the complete package they offer or just the tent?? If so how is the gear that comes with it?

Cant decided on what too do, Thinking of maybe getting a bigger tent later on when i have more experience on my shoulders.

Thanks guys

Thanks, but no I just got the tent from them, I wanted to shop around for the other stuff. Measure your area first, I have the room and wish I had that little extra stretch room with the 1.2 m x 1.2m. I got the centrifugal inlet fan which works a charm, but sounded like a jet, so ended up at the local hydro store to get a smaller quieter one, I also got my hydro kits and light there, as im a bit concerned sending those lights through aus post.

Some things I just like to see with my eyes first, and also have someone explain it all to me, the guys at both stores I have visited have been very helpfull with me, and I'd already been looking online to know what prices I was looking at.

Looking good with the grow there dude!!!!! Outdoor grows still have a very romatic idea for me....i mean the whole natural thing is still by far the best way to grow ANYTHING imho!!!

That said here is some chemically played with in hydro plants.....

Jock horror and White Rhino in 2nd or 3rd week of flower.

Here is the G13, Super lemon haze and Amp Bubblegum ready to go (will have to continually top them though) as well as my cloner. Its a 400L/hr pump with a nice 60cm or so length of flexi airstone attached at both ends in pure water and 2 packets of rootex powder. The light setup was my own little contraption i made and as you can see can attach more lights if needed. I think i should max it out as heat is no longer an issue in that tent....i have a nice inline fan on the ceiling (out of frame) blowing in a shit load of fresh air. Its the 200mm ezi fan you use for cool tubes. I also have a little shitty bunnings one i put on the back wall to help keep the lights cool. Need to line the rest of the box with Panda film when i get time....

Wow Odlaw those girls are looking wonderful, your new cab fits them very nicely, glad to see it serves its purpose (unlike my tent-growing my mates clones lol :P)
There seems to be many bud sites on th WW, great job on all the training and 'pruning'

Clones look impressive, nice stems. what do you have them under atm?

i have just finished my designs and measurements for my veg and clone cab, it will accommondate my bubble cloner under a 130W CFL on one side and on the the other side it will be split into two sections- one for my humidity crib sitting under 55W fluro's and above will be a storage area for stuff and a dark spot for germinating (and a place to mount my fan) all in closed....cant wait (kiss) i know but hey its all the fun in building it

Total dimensions will be 1200W x 700D x 900H

Edit: that's 130 real watts

they are under a 21w tube fluro while in the humudity dome but in the veg cab ive got 2 45w cfls
as ya can see they get them to a nice size by the time the flower cab is ready
it got a bit hot in the new veg cab yesterday so i just put my portable cooler in front of the open door on fan setting and that worked fine for now but guess i need to up the fans a lil in the veg cab

your cab is almost the exact size of mine i think i went 1200 70 70 or sumtin like that lol

no prunning on the plants man i never prune i top fimm lst and supercrop but i never remove any leaf unless its dead leafs are the plants food source man they absorb the light and feed the plant why prune unless ya need to for size restrictions or sumtin like that or of course u sog

This is going to sound really dumb, But would it be possible to connect a tomato or something to a weed plant? or would that just not work at all?
grafted plants need to be from the same plant family
the only know plant to be grafted with mj is hops as they from the same family but graftin hops and mj gives ya a plant with no thc lol
 
aww snap, it would be cool if you could have a fruit or something with thc, would also help keep the police away, no officer i am growing carrots not sure why my eyes go blood shot. hehehe

Thanks for the advice also, I am trying to keep it simple but its not very simple if that makes any sense.

yeah it seems that way at first Waka but believe me once ya actually get a full grow under ya belt you will see how simple it really is to grow its heaps easier than trying to set up for the first time lol thats for sure all the diff options for lights mediums feeds etc... its fucking daunting
do not be scared to ask questions man nm how dumb u may think they seem you cant learn if ya dont ask and everybody here is very helpfull and tell ya whats available in aus not at walmart and shit lol

If you want to keep it simple, download the Buds for Less .pdf - it shows how to grow half a pound of buds using CFLs for less than $100.00.

Of course you should only download the .pdf file for evaluation purposes only, then you should order the paper version so that the author (who posts on RIU) can get some money from you.

Many people start off with CFLs after reading the book, but a lot quickly feel the need to expand - damn good starting resource though.

Thanks for the book link man, downloading it now but at 3.9kbs :( i will seed it for a few days also but i have a crap upload speed. Where do you buy the books from? I have not been able to find any shops in my city that sell these books, I always buy something after a download if its good its worth the money :)

at the moment i am looking at buying this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/INDOOR-ELEMENTS-1-2M-MYLAR-GROW-TENT-COMBO-1-/120674795780?pt=AU_Seed_Starting_Hydroponics&hash=item1c18c74104 but might after a read of the book might change my mind we will see, Has anyone used any of the gear that comes with the tent? I have got feedback saying the tent is prefect but not much on the rest, just really like the idea of the tent seems a lot better for me then a wardrobe :)

Thanks guys !
 
Hey Odlaw

They would be trust worthy with the info if i give them a call up and ask a few Q with the items in the kit?

I was hoping if they are loud fuckers for some extra $$ they could swap them for something with less sound, I am going to buy mufflers also no matter what just to keep it as low as possible but the lower the stranded sound is the better :)

The carbon filter is a decent one tho? I dont know how to figure it out, I have seen can filters and another brand with a 100$ difference but the specs look the same :S

thanks man
