New here.

Hi all,

Been reading some really awesome stuff on the site and ended up registering so I could see the pics on the 12/12 from seed thread

Anyway decided to introduce myself.

I live in Southern Africa and started growing a bit before our spring started (May).

The original plan was to grow 10 plants then cull them down till I have one female left and let her flower. That went out the window.
I planted 10 bag seeds in a tray indoors but due to the time of year and lack of heat/light only 3 of them survived.
I then planted another 9 bag seeds in small pots outdoors (around Sept/October).
Some turned out male and 1 turned out hermie while some more got killed by everything from hail to my clumsiness.

I currently have 4 females outdoors in 25l pots. 3 of them are mainly sativa dominant, the other auto flowered so some sure signs of containing ruderalis.

I have a DIY clone bubbler (12 new cuttings in I made yesterday, my last attempt I got 10 out of 12 cuttings to root and they are all now in my server).

I have a grow server monstrosity I made, originally to play with indoor, now it is used for vegging only.
Currently 10 Clones from 3 species in it.

I also have a walk in safe I converted into a flowering room.
Currently has 3 clones all in flower.

Pics to follow

Outdoor plants.
I had an insect problem and messed up by using a concoction that messed with my PH and killed more sensitive leaves.
Photos about 10 days old, had a heat wave which is why some are drooping (they were extremely dry just before I took the photos).
Shaped with wool to keep them "short" and change the profile.

DIY Bubbler set-up.
I use the top shelf for the electrical stuff and as a drier for small amounts of weed.
My last batch, about half way through.

1x 6500k 14watt CFL, 1x fish tank airpump and a 220v extractor fan.

Grow server:

Ugly on the outside...



4x 18watt 6500k florescent tubes.
3x server extractor fans, currently running on full 12v, will take to 5v for winter.
I can fit 12 of these pots in it at once.




I ran it on a 12/12 schedule with 2700k tubes once with some clones to see the results and decided it's to slow and not enough harvest.

Finally my Safe.

Still a work in progress.
Had some serious issues in here already.
I put a hermie in to isolate from my other plants along with 2 clones. Terrible idea but at least the 3 got the safe to the point where plants don't die in it.
Hermie has been killed (with water and then a series of small fires).
2x 305 cm3 inline fans
1x box fan
1x 400watt HPS

Walls are covered in Mylar.
Floor is silver packaging material on top of a 20cm thick piece of polystyrene (the type used in cooler trucks, covered in a thin sheet of metal).

Friendly bunch here

Looks good bro, can you get an indica and run a perpetual grow? also the outdoor ones are yellow from the ph being wrong as you said.

I have some seeds with the following parentage from a local grower.
Dinafem Cheese x Emerald triangle Bubba '76 Crossed with Autumn Harvest and Sannie Killing Field x Colossus.
Indica dominant with a slight chance I may get a colour pheno out of them (here's hoping, bag appeal weed is pretty scarce in this part of the world).
I used bag seed to get everything up and running but will be planting these out soon for a more permanent perpetual grow.

Just want to make a few more clones of my outdoor and keep them isolated to be sure I don't have any bug infestations indoors before I start with that project
Also, I want to try 12/12 from seed with some bagseed just for the hell of it
