Hi Jats, been checking out ur journal, ur room is really coming together..future weed barron no doubt:hump:haha.. And the grilla grow for back-up.. Half of Melbs puffin away on bud grown by a girl:shock::eyesmoke:
Imo the one thing lacking is quality genetics which would also knock ur hermi prob on the head too.. ive no doubt u already know that its easy to get quality seeds into Oz, and that great fucking space u got could really be used to its full pot-ential
How much light wattage u got in the flowerroom now?
Hey streetlegal.... howzitgoing...? Yep the room is coming along...considering I started about 2 years ago with a table that I screwed 2 long fluoro tubes underneath and as the plants grew I raised the table by putting bricks underneath the legs.... :shock:...while I was building the rooms...
progress has been made... I started with some sensi seeds nl#5/haze and orange bud... the nl/haze took 18/19 weeks to fully ripen in flower (but wott a gr8 smoke) so when a m8 said that these super skunk clones were available I jumped at the opportunity to fast track some good plants... that was the 1st mistake because they throw bananas at 6 (ish) weeks,,,2nd mistake was cloneing them and continuing to grow them (( I thought that the bananas were from something I had done)) .... but now there are none left of them... I have got some reg white russion and super skunk seeds I brought from seedsmen on standby for around feb/march...but in the meantime my m8 who I am doing the outdoor with, has some shiva skunk clones which he has started moving into the flower room that we will share... they are solid females...:weed:
I'll post some photos of them l8a....

I have learnt that it takes time and money and patience to get this show on the road... each fuck up brings you closer to and further from your goal .......

HaHaHaHaHa :lol: about the gunga barron ... I have heaps of really sweet seedy buds beautifully cured only $20 a Q....who wants em..?? HaHaHaHaHa :lol:

Lovely additions jats
Yeh i hear ya Jats, imo money alone cant buy a great growroom, it more like a journey learning from mistakes, building ur experience and growroom at the same time..im glad i didnt have unlimited budget starting out, i wouldve wasted alot of doe..
That shiva skunk is like puffpuffsnore:sleep: puts me on my ass.

Hey All...... I hope yr all keeping cool :bigjoint:

I do love growing with autopots...:weed: too easy

ok....my flower room has filled once more.... I've added another light its a 400 hps but I am going to swap it for a 600 hps (( because I just scored 2 x 600w hps ballasts and a light fitting and shade for $50.... good huh..;-).... that will mean that I will have 4 x 600 hps's in my flower room....but I can handle the heat.... so its all gr8.....my m8's plants are covered in bugs of all kinds(( because he's been growing them outside)) so we are going to nuke them all this weekend,,..heres the new view from my Flower room
















and I am 1 autopot short.... I'm gonna hav to get another 2mozza

Hey Yandi1.....howzitgoing......Thankz :bigjoint:
Yep the Shiva looks good..... doesn't smell like much :weed:........not
Still a good fast growing stealthy plant.... I guess I can try to work sum magic in the curing process,,as far as the smell goes...

I am not growing clones at the minute...:leaf:. soon I will take some from the outsiders in my G grow...

......................................... I have learnt another big lesson about the autopots.... Don't top feed them.....why? because they will soak up the run off.... and with coco that's not right..... I cant beleive I only just figgered that out......... :dunce:.......<<<ME <

Hi there jats.

fantastic grow you got there, and one of the best journals iv seen. Thank you.

Im still pretty new to the whole thing but got my kit yesterday.

With my kit i got 2 large pots & a bag of all mix soil, but i also decided to get the autopot easy2grow system as it was on sale.

This being my first time growing ever, although autopots def seem to have alot of ease in using the would you recommend it for a first timer. Or should i stick to handwatering in the large pots for now.

Also, jast, u got a massive area there, so u prob never had the need to do it & may not know, but do u know if its goin to be possible to lst in that twin autopot system ? Can i just rotate the pots every few hours so the inside foilage is getting as much light. As this is only a tiny 2 plant grow compared to yours lol. Its in a dr60 with the height of 140cm, so im gonna have to lst or scrog.

Thanks for any advice.

Some amazing pics in this thread. Good job :weed:

Keep up the good work. Look forward to an update :]

Hey monty python....... Thanks....:mrgreen:
I started out with soil and hand watering and have learnt a load from there.... if you feel abit overwhelemed by all the info and advice available ,,then I would wait until I used the autopots,,,, still the autopots are very easy to use,,,,prob esp the twin sets as you dont need to set up any plumbing with them.... I would guess that listing would not really be a problem..... I only have the single pots and dont really need to list at this point.....but marijuana is a very hardy plant.... hey good luck with that :weed:

Nice thread and nice job, I think i might have to try the autpot route and as I am new to coco growing and it seems like with the pots i pour water in them, but than they are still dry and it all runs out through the drain holes.

So with the autopots, do you just have straight coco in them only? I am looking for a place now to buy and try them out as i am jsut going with a 1-2 plant grow at a time.

Hey ruby .....:bigjoint:. I have meet the man who designed the autopots , Jim... He took me through the whole nursery space where they are the only pots in use ....he mainly uses soil for his but has clay balls and other hydro mediums too....he did not recommend coco as I think in the past it is a nortoriously salty medium,,,but these days the processing is very good for coco and if you use the good brands you will have no problems.... I like it with the ap's but have had my share of stuff ups from using it...eg do not top feed coco in an autopot,,, ph nightmares..... if you are only growing 1 or 2 plants you could slurge on a really nice soil mix or make your own.. good luck with that... :weed:
