Have you had any idea on how i can mod my bucket lids mate? I wish that guy was still on ebay i could have got them off him. Ive had a look on google and cant find any like mine:( I think id go for the 140cm pot, its still big enough to give alot of support but not so big it takes up half the bucket lol.

I forgot to say mate im gonna leave adding the pk this time until they have stopped stretching, i think i added it way to early last time. Saying that though the old Canna guide said to add it as soon as pistals appeared where as the new one says when buds start to fatten after stretch!

I think im sold on these Dutch Pro nutes for future grows, much more simple to use and from what you have seen awsome to boot!

I have got a shit-load of CANNA to use 1st but once I have Dutch Pro is defo. the way to go :) !!! also leaving the PK till later sounds like a plan, I hope it does make the buds swell alot more than if we add it earlier on!! - STELTHY :leaf:

Thanks dude, there is no rush man whenever you have time.

Im off work tomorrow so ill get some lights out update pics done, freak haze is budding nicely already, all the main cola's have been stretched to either end and i have a nice even canopy of buds along the middle:) The RKS and OG 18 are about 2 weeks old now also and are looking really healthy:)

Sorry for the slow update ive been busy with work and life in general:)

The ladies are just starting day 49, ill get some pics up tomorrow but there has been plenty of new growth. The little buds on the freak haze started to fatten a little last thursday so i added the pk. I did the other haze today and the blue venom about 3 days ago. I may give it a couple of extra days with the pk just to make extra sure its in there at the right time.

I think flowering will be a little long again but i estimate the blue venom at about 75 days and the normal haze about 13 weeks. I think the freak haze may finish first though as it just wont stop growing:):) The stem is well ove an inch thick.

The blue venom is a little behind because i reduced the feed for about 10 days on it thinking that was what was causing the ph to drop but later i found out it was the clay balls. Ive also pruned it a bit which has slowed it a little also, its not really stretched much at all, i figure its not ideal the light being so far away from it. In future grows i need to take into consideration the heights of the plants so i can start and get a true even canopy:)

Here are a few pics, the puic of the 2 haze at the back is mostly all the freak haze lol, i rekon ill get a good few oz off her:) The pic of the not so fluffy haze bud thats a bit smaller than the others is the standard lemon haze, i rekon she will also yeild well:)

As you can see the blue venom is getting fatter, i suppose its stretching but sideways:) The pic of the 4 vegging ladies, the 2 bigger plants are RKS and the 2 smaller ones are OG18, the smallest of these 2 is a week and a half behind the others.

Yo BB, I haven't been on here for months as I've been enjoying the results of my first go, but I'm so pleased to see some of the results you've posted up. I'm about to go again, have you learned anymore about the best height to have the light above the plants?
ps: update pics look good!!

Well mate i havent really because on my last grow and this one ive had runt plants, the runt on my last one went mouldy so im gonna see how thos one i have now fares, its about 2ft form the light so we shall see, i cant lower it because of this freak haze ive got, the stem has to be 11/4", its like a tree and its taking up most of the cab.

We are good mate thanks, she is alot more relaxed about it now. Just the fact nobody knows barring 3 people who i trust 100% means we dont really have to worry.

I have been looking into organics:) Im always about the quality in whatever i do so it really interests me. The only thing putting me off is yeild but after some looking around i have found something called airpots, im not saying they will match my bubble buckets but they are meant to be loads better than regular pots. In my flower cab i can fit 4 x 45ltr airpots:) I rekon if i vegged the ladies from seed for 12 weeks(also taking advantage of the longer flowering time from led:)) and veg them into 20 ltr airpots then transfer them into 45ltr pots for flowering i will get monster plants. To get close to what i can yeild now ive got to go with 45 ltr pots to make up for what im losing going organic.

I could even sort out a decent propogator and get them up to the 2 week mark from seed in there and then i can veg for another 12 weeks while the others are flowering:) I think i would go with oldtimers plant magic with there premium soil and full range of nutes to start with. Im def gonna have ago with 1 organic plant next grow i do. I would like to get a few organic grows under my belt then try super soil or something similar maybe my own recipe:) where all you have to do is feed them water there entire lives:)

Ill get some pics of the freak stem etc later, it looks weird man:)

Airpots are great :) the roots grow out like normal, but when they reach the holes in the pot the ends of the roots die off and this makes loads of tiny new roots emerge and take up nuit & water etc at a faster rate :) the only down side with soil/coco is that you'll find yourself watering them alot... where as in Hydro its the one thing you dont have to think about :) If you do decide to do it I'll defo be subbed as I'd like to see how you get on with the airpots.

I look forward to pics of the Freak-Haze :) - STELTHY :leaf:

I have been thinking about these airpots again. I think 45ltr will be to big. Obvioulsy unless you fil the airpot up its not going to air prune the roots. I may start in a 5ltr and switch to a 30:)

Temps are starting to drop now so i think its time to thinking of adding some extra heat to the cabs, any suggestions stealthy mate? I was thinking a tube heater but im unsure on wattage and length and i dont know how much they raise temps etc?

I use an anolgue thermostat... I set it at 26oC ... if the room temp drops more than 3 or 4 oC the thermostat will turn on my 2 bar heaters (unsure of wattage - think 120w each if memory stands correct) then once the room has regained its core temp of 26 oC the stat will turn off th heaters until its told to turn them back on again (by sensor) ..

It may pay to have the heaters & Stat out side your cab in the actual room and use a bigger source of heat that will fill the room more quickly than bar heater s given your space... and the fact you have two separate Cabs :) but its personal choice, I still plan to insulate my 2 Res tubs so despite my cabs internal heat the Res temps stay consistant and stay @ approx 21oC and are pretty much unaffected by the rooms temps ... Hope that's helpful - STELTHY :leaf:

Thanks mate ill look into what you suggest it makes sense to get the actual room hot rather than try to heat 2 seperate cabs. Its not to bad to be honest, its freezing here today and its still abou 15-16 in the cabs. I think i may insulate my tubs mate its a good idea, do you recommend anything in particular to use?

I have just turned the heating on so im gonna see if that helps first.

Regarding these airpots mate, have you used them? Im not sure what size pot i can go up to, obvioulsy with airpots you dont want to go to big as the roots wont air prune. They do a 30ltr pot but again im not sure if that will be to big with 12 weeks veg, maybe i should try a 20ltr? I was thinking starting them in 5ltr pots.

Yeah try your normal house heating 1st that'll probably suffice :) I haven't used them man! :( .. I had one I was going to use.. but I ended up giving it away to a mate that grow predominately in soil, and I stuck with DWC/Hydro :) I doubt you'll need 30L ones ..20L sounds more than enough, but You'd prob be best with a 2nd opinion on that :) 5L tubs should be fine to start them in...But not being clued up in soil par-say I would just plant straight into the 20L Air-Pots :) So I would defo seek some one elses imput as far as general knowledge of soil/Air-Pot grows go :) - STELTHY :leaf:
