OK. Just these and this journal will be real time. Here's day 58 and 59.
The lights have just come on so I'll take some pics later which will be exactly 4 weeks into flowering, which means she has only 4 weeks left.

I just checked and another of those Jack seeds has germinated so it's going to get crowded in there next week. All the better for my empty stash tin :bigjoint:

Hey Watdaheo808. Thanks for stopping by.

I use Canna pro soil mix with around 35% vermiculite and 10% fine sand. I had problems with cheapo soils but this seems fine. I'm also on the Canna nutes at the moment, Terra Flores is the flowering one I use. I've also had good results with General Hydroponics soil nutes in the past. I also use Canna Boost a couple of times during flowering for a bit of bulk.
With a 12/12 setup like mine the soil tends to get the plants through to early flowering without needing a veg nute, especially with auto flowering strains. If they still haven't shown sex after say 3 weeks I'll give them a bit of a veg feed until I see flowers and then I switch to the bloom nutes.
I've learned never to feed them until the 2 round leaves have wilted as they always get nute burn if fed before this.

Good luck with your grow.

Got a couple of pics from last night. A family shot and one of the canopy.

The temps are creeping up a little now it's getting warmer outside and I have the odour control back on. I've been running the fans on 6 volts for the last couple of months but I needed 7.5 volts last night to keep it under 80F. I may need to review my airflow soon as the noise draws attention if I run it at 12v. If anyone has any suggestions for extra cooling feel free to chime in.

Anyway, here's the pics. More in a couple of days.

bunch of beautiful busty women you got there! if your fans need to be silent, try larger ones(most likely not possible) or quieter ones to begin with, otherwise try remodeling your odor control for better airflow, idk just throwin some stuff out there maybe it'll spark an idea. on a lighter note, hows the smoke with 12/12 from seed?

Hey LOLsauce. Thanks for stopping by.

Busty girls :)
Nearly pissed myself :)

Glad to hear you got your stuff. So quit reading. Start growing!

Thanks for the suggestions about cooling. The case can only take 80mm fans so upgrades aren't an option. Look at any of my pics tho, they're all different. Wires hanging here and there; bits of carboard with no mylar on. I'm never happy even though it's always worked ok. I have some ideas though and I still have a couple of volts in hand :)
Don't listen to peeps saying your cooltube was a bad investment. Temps are all fine just now but summer is coming and temps will go up for everybody. I already have a pseudo cooltube and ultimately I will separate the bulb from the grow.

Let me know when you get your pics up m8.

Well now I'm here, got some news for you all. Last night I became a Dad again. Has it really been 3 weeks since last time? :)

Got some naughty porn too. A pic of Granita from her good side.
Also one for you LOLsauce. It's just Granita but this would fit perfectly under your 70 watt lamp and leave half of your case unused. You then have 3 weeks to fit some additional lighting and you can get another one growing!

Enjoy.
I will in a few weeks :)

Hey there rlax106. Thanks for looking in.

I treat the girls like real women. Keep em in the dark and bend them over a lot :)

As they are grown in 12/12 they never actually get a veg stage, so this restricts the height a lot. If I grew them like that they would get between 18 - 30 inches tall. This is still too tall for my case, so I also bend them over to encourage the sidebranches to grow like the main top. I aim for 8 - 10 tops which means the plant can only give 10% of that upward growth to each top and the result is very short plants like Granita.
I also use very little soil which probably helps too.

Bud porn makes me drool, no lie. Getting 8-10 (3g each?) colas is no lie as well, ima try and finish building the box today and if i cant scrounge up a digital camera i guess i'll have to use my phone : / but if this thing turns out nice id like to at least be able to show off the work, also i'm still waiting on the seeds, BTK3ill just ordered his today T_T so we both wont be started b4 next week i assume but hell keep on goin on seein those frosty buds only makes me work faster

Good guess mate. 2 - 3g each top is the norm. Forgot to answer your other question about quality too. 12/12 produces indentical quality to vegged plants, just less of it.
Try to hold on a bit after harvest and do a good cure though or quality is compromised.
