Geeez thanx man well its really nice to hear from outside people to hear their perspective

Most of those centre buds you see actually come from riiiiiiight down the bottom of the plant they were just large enough to grow fast and reach the top and i considered them worth saving for now, if things get too big too quick then i may have to try and place things or last resort remove the smallest to make room for the biggest. THERE MUST BE AIRFLOW!!, no good me talking about it and not doing much!!! jk i've been on it. Tonight i actually gave her a much needed trim, finding many leaves just not coping from being tucked under a cola or twisted in such a fashion it can't move or breath, they die quickly so i remove them as needed, sometimes picking one, and then finding another below even worse. But this is how I do it EVERY time with my grows and it works great The plant is really REALLY big! Try to take a step back in your mind while looking at that wide tent shot, thats 140cm wide guys. I think i'm dreaming i really do!!

Actually a REALLY awesome way to tell where you need to trim if going down my route,( i mean you could leave all this...... if you wanted...... buuuut getting rid of it maintains quality and keeps breathability to the max. + all my lower growth will be nearly twice as mature than as it would of been left untreated!!! )
anyway sidetracked... I look from under neath the plant at an angle so i can see shadow spots OR dead/dying leaves. I remove all that NOW and before the end of this week as after that i do not touch/poke/prod/taste until All Buds are dried/cured and approved by mrs Flowa a few dark areas can be ok, if they have room to breath and doesn't look like the health is deteriorating they maybe soaking up enough UV from the sides of the tent, the plant WILL show you. I try to again 'even things out' across the canopy doing things of this will save me big-time in the long run, and my tops will be all sweet

Flowa's hehe

I've read through this thread a few times now and I'm still amazed at what your producing from one plant and a 600watt, which has me on the hunt for supplies. This 50 litre pot sok? Can't seem to find A product by that name online, I have found 50 litre fabric pots, would one of these work? Of course you have drain holes in your pot
sok right? I could mmake my own holes if needed, also this feed ring that's talked about? What is this? Also when you transplanted to 2 pot setup was it from soil? Can I transplant from soil to perlite? I use an aerocloner to start with. Sorry for the newb questions, my experience is with soil only

Flowa she is looking magnificent! An it does look like you have a few more heads in there than last grow, but she's pretty well on par! Top work again bro, and consistent

Another top idea with the a/c and the box too, might start costing that up to work out how much it would cost. What size a/c do you reckon would be required?

Hey mate, type on pot liner sox into ebay search and see if it comes up. If ebay US doesnt have them, Oz site does

yea man they r massive, excellent job

I found them on the Aussie eBay site, thanks eastcoastmo! So these 50 litre pot soks are plastic than? I assumed it was a fabric for some reason.

I'm glad you like the system i'll start with saying Eastcoastmo is spot on with the ebay You can't go soil to straight perlite as perlite is more aero than water roots, you will most likely have health issues or atleast a long stressful transition., it maybe possible ofcourse, but not a great idea, if you are starting them aero, transplant into aero If you're not sure on a good way to start and have never used rockwool cubes, i hear there is something called super starters or similar to that and its like a soil/coco mix but not soil obviously and they will allow you to transplant into whatever medium you like.

I would recommend one of hose $350-400 bunnings type around 10,000 BTU for a tent in a room my size would run efficiently with the outlet used properly venting the used heat. I will include a couple of links These will run fine and keep things perfectly cool on the low setting. They work really well, and depending on this summer i may end up getting one myself to bring some purples out of Jack

I really don't know actually!!! i think they are fabric but a type of synthetic plastic. Not very strong so you will have to support the bottom, but they do the job of keeping in the medium from falling through the larger holes in the inside pot. Edit: Plastic doesn't nescesarily have to be made from synthetic compounds, a little research will amaze you in that some are made from plants They are water resistant. BUT breathe, as they are stitched together

wow! spellbinding flowa!
the comparision of day 24 this grow and last are really close but this grow your camera is sharper and the picture is clearer.
i counted 41 visable colas in your last girl and 55 colas in your present girl! WOW thats HUGE!!!!!!
I have NO doubt you got 2 plus lbs there. remarkable!exceptional!outstanding young man.! lol
you have the most beautiful pictures as well. They are so clean and crisp. I feel like i can smell and touch them.
yur a true inspiration .
hah, the swimming pool i had to help for humidity did like NOTHING! so i brought in back to the store , got my 9 bucks back and put my rubber duckys in my bathtub.lol
I do my best with my humdifier ..it is what it is , the farms look really good still right now. I might stick around AZ for a couple years. who knows .. so i will see how the first year goes. Summers no doubt kick ass for growing .. so looking forward to next summer.

My sativa has really taken off though and the light green leaves are looking darker.
but my girls fail in comparision to your magnificent beast. A picture of perfection. i admire u so much.

nearly missed that..... it is placed at the top of the medium and has several nipples that flow all the nutrient down into the medium via a 14mm ( i think maybe 13mm doesn't matter ) line by my 1000 litre per hour pump

You are too kind!!! Thankyou conkey 2lb?! that would make me skip a heart beat lol! i mean it is a bigger tent and more buds, suppose the wait game is on now for how big some will get, i can already see my support net is dropping with the weight so i will have to re-tie some location and prop her up so they can all stand straight and look extra sexy i like the uniformed even bud look

Yeah me too bro, so keen to have some good buds! The hermie issues i had this time really bummed me out!

I checked out the A/C at bunnings too, they'd definitely do the job hey! That will be a job for next year i reckon i'll have more cash by then!

as smart as you are, i gather you know that 'outside' is the tent good man! The outside temp is averaging at 31 degrees with the 2 lights running, that 1200 watts BUT the 2nd light only runs for 4 hours from 8pm-12 midnight. 31 degrees is pushing it by some means with alot of strains, but i'm running around 50% humidity so that's fine. If that was creeping up to over 60% while lights are on it would mean the plant is transpiring to much and not retaining enough moisture and will most likely dehydrate her. Keeping things safe at 4 hours, it helps get some warmth into the tent also as the cooling hood is over-efficient, but i'm scared to run the built in fan without it being turned on. The extractor fan sucks it fast without it plugged in lol, I have card cramped into the sliders with the glass so they don't vibrate and create harmonics i can hear across the road!

Hermies do suck its unfortunate, but we all at some point have had a bummer plant, luckily for me never an indoor. But my genetics are always proven to me. So that gives me huge reassurance. With the Ac depending on humidity (especially dark time) you may have to make sure you have one with a dehumidifier and hook up a drain hose to the bathroom. But simple enough, you don't want powdery mildew

Yeah mate thats true, i just should've trusted my self and not used the seeds in the first place, hell i had plenty of good ones, just got sick of them not growing...patience was why they were dying, i didnt have any

Ahh i hadnt thought about the humidity too, will make sure i remember that, cheers mate

I just wondered what the weather was like in OZ!

Ha ha ha bloody hot during summer Mo! Parts of southern Oz get up in the mid 40's centigrade!

yeah man, alot of people don't consider the humidity factor especially during dark times. If there isnt heat to evaporate moisture there has to be some decent circulation
