very nice my dude! tie em down tie em down:hump:
thanks bro, yep im actually out to get some better material for the restraints..i lost my good roll and hada use the string and have been working so much lately i havent had time to upgrade...also ima throw my third light in there tonight when the lights come on and really brighten things up!

im so glad that i did take the time to rearrange i was getting a bit stir crazy in there when i watered...assholes and elbows...of what is soon to be elbows...

i would not suggest anyone else in a smallish space trying try to do a moderate transition such as the one ive undertaken as it proves to be a constant battle of space light and mental preperation. once all the girls that are budding get done it will be loads better..and next go round the preperation will be made upfront..

but ill never go back to soil no matter how much it takes to get me through it

Well it's been a few days since an update so here goes
I re tied the girls for max coverage and am going to be adding the third light soon, also due to time constraints and space issuess coupled with watering/draining probs I have sent the big girls to bud after 4-5 weeks of veg from the height usually used to start the big grow. I am a bit dissapointed but feel confident that I will get 2 + elbows off the 4 and I have a mazar and a rhino that were veged the same ammount of time that I have high hopes for as well. Overall I believe that I should get about 3 from all the girls I have going right now. 4 big 2 in between and 11 in 2 gals. I
on a positive note I originally had to modify the list of nutes that m blaze uses bc I couldent find a us company that carried all the stuff. I found it it's called www.justhydroponics.com I believe

yeah thats the site sorry i forgot it was an aus site but when i registered it had many country options for your personal info which i assume they use for shipping info, i have found many sites that carried it but wouldn't even talk to me bc im in us. and i seem to remember seing that they did but im not 100% but will update on that
overall the 4 girls are good...total veg time in coco from small clones is right at 10 weeks but only 5 weeks since being upgraded to potential beginner big girl
i had another light issue and only 1 is running for the next few days untill i get the "fix" that should solve all the future probs. I have also solved my watering/draining issues and the space thing is getting better

I like the Liquid Lead and I think it is one of the best additives I have used along with the Grotek Monster Grow and Monster bloom. I will check out a few suppliers that I know of to see if they ship to the USA.

that would be awsome if you did, i really want to trow some in on the big girls...but i have a little time still on that. i would like to get it soon bc i have other plants that are about 3 weeks into bud and will prob need it in about 3 weeks...so i should prob order soon if its coming via boat or plane...dont want any probs.

i will log on there tonight and try to order some and see if it will infact ship to me

I actually found another company to try as well and I'm awaiting the reply on shipping cost to my zip code, I tried doing an online checkout on justhydro and it told me I had to pick a diff addy, so if this other company dosent work out I'll call or email them with my request

I just pulled 4 plants( first coco smoke) they needed a week more to amber up like I like but they are doused with truce that are 1/2 clear and 40% cloudy and 10% amber
it made the space deal in my op much more manageable now I'm just waiting on my lighting fix so I can comence to lay the lumens to it

What nutes are you wanting to buy exactly? There should be similar products available in your country. Although I am interested to see what the prices would be like for you if you ordered them from aus.

Really the only things that seem to be aus specific is the nutrified coco and nutes and the liquid lead. In my next go i want to get as close as possible to the same deal u have. I can get the budmeister and sensa spray and the growteck products. I'd love any help
I can prob deal w the coco I have as it s doing me right and will need to find something similar in makeup to the a and b u use but I really want the same additives and really give it the college try.
I think Ima fo with blueberry from mj seeds nl for the next big grow, but I do have 5 white rhino and 10 northern lights to be used too, and depending on how my dc1 plant does I may just take cuttings of the white rhino and dc1 for the next go. I say this because it is a big girl started from a piece of branch thatvwas cleared of most of it'd bud and revegged

There is nothing special about the Nutrifield A+B and there are many products that are similar or better such as Canna coco. I only use the Nutrifield because I get it cheap and it does the job. Next time I will switch my A+B nutes to another brand called The Professors original which I have never seen before but have been told it works great and is half the price of Canna. Apparently it has a very stable pH and holds pH levels longer than any other nute.
There should be a good substitute for Liquid Lead so I might look into it and see what else there is.

I'm pretty sure I can get the prof orig here and it's good to know that you don't feel that it's the coco and a b nues that do the greatest benifit( brand specific I mean) a liquid lead substitute would be great

Well i have good news and bad news the good news is that I can in fact get a 5l bottle sent to me I'm just waiting on the price for a little slower shipping, the quote I got was express and it was like paying double so I'm awaiting a reply on cheaper shipping

the bad is that I still didn't get my lights back. And I'm mad!!!! It's been 5 days now having to switch the one functioning light bulb out to give them all 6 hrs of decent light. It's so early in bud for the big girls that I hope it dosent affect them too much but I do have girls farther along that I feel will be stunted because of this setback. I'm calling tomarrow when they open and getting some answers. I feal I shoulda had them on sat or sun latest and they shoulda used someone that ships 7 days a week.

I do have other lights but there packed away and aren't nearly as safe for me in the setup I have now with the abundance of water and potential for spills there un enclosed ballasts and I'm not trying to redo everything with haveing so much space occupied by plant... I don't want to have a catastrophe

If there not on thre way to me directly Ima have to drive to the new store they put in near here and get myself straight

I did buy a ac unit to run durringnthe day to coolnthe temps down lower than the lights on time which is at night now if u haven't read. And I got a big window fan to pump in fresh night air durring lights on.

The 4 girls that I pulled a week ago have dried up enough for a taste and even though they were early there still good

Well it's been a while since my last update. Things went well in the grow, I didn't get the 3 Elbe I was looking for i ended up with right at two Elbs for the whole 4 1/2 month deal. Which by my calculations is .5 gms per watt. Considering that when I pulled the 4 big girls outa ther pots to see the rootball/ mass I was suprised to see that the root ball never spread, only a small ammount of top roots started branching out into the upper half of the large pot. The lower half under the root ball had almost no roots in it. This is a mistake I will correct this next time arround and I expect at least 3 more oz per big girl on that alone possibly more. Other than that he grow went well and 6 oz per big girl w a root mass of only really the original 2 gal containers ain't to bad. I also had some other smaller plants going alongside that made up the remainder.

I did go to the hydro store and got some overdrive and snowstorm to finish up the grow. I must say all the smoke that I got off the plants is good. All except the Afgan mazar that were free with my order from mj seeds nl. It may be that I didn't pay as much attention to what this plant needed but it wasn't that apeali g to me and didn't realy get me stoned. Though the last one to finish had started to turn purple in spots before I choped but stil has similar smell to the other two. Idk I just won't save it.
I am starting a new thread on my next endevor with northern lights a white rhino clone and my personal dc1 . The thread will be titled growing big with maintman
cheers!
