If you want death and destruction, check out my grow journal. Everything before September is mixed with a lot of personal drama as well as "How NOT to grow pot". November forward is moving in the right direction so if you want to drop in at that point and skip the drama feel free!

Nosey? You only have 6 posts under your belt! I'm at just over 500 and I'm still a newbie asking questions. Read. Ask. Read. Ask...........

Fire away with those questions because we have the bruises of your future pain to help you through. (did that make sense?)

Things are looking good man, where did you get that cool ass case for your bulbs??

Click to expand...

Hi dude, Cheers man! I got the case from Maplin Electronics on-line its a multi purpose Aluminium case and you can pull out small 1cm squared foam blocks to create a sturdy slot for what ever you choose..I chose to protect my bulbs since they ain't cheap, it works perfectly! If you have more than 1 or 2 bulbs I would highly recommend getting one and they are not too costly either.

Here's a LINK to it :

Hope that helps man - STELTHY

My Tomato plants are growing well fast, I think I may grow Chilli's and Peppers next time instead of tomatoes, or maybe just the one Tomato plant instead of 6 of them lol. They are drinking 7L per day its crazy. Aside from that I've noticed a slight burn to one of the top GWS leaves, so I've raised the reflector up a few inches, The room doesn't exceed 27oC max. so I wouldn't of thought its heat burn, its not nuit burn cos she's on the same dosage as she's always been on and not yet started her flowering feeding schedule, so its gotta be light burn I may have to go back to 250W but I'll use the 400 for as long as I can possible get away with it! ...Hopefully till harvest - Fingers crossed This is my practice grow in this cab so I am not to bothered but providing I get 'quality' I can always work on quantity later, Still its early days yet - STELTHY

Chilis and peppers grow great indoors! And it's easier to keep them in a small space than tomatoes. I put a tomato, orange bell, red bell, 2 jalapenos, and an anaheim pepper (plus a few herbs: Sage, basil, etc) under a 150W HPS, and got great results.

ITS UPDATE MONDAY AGAIN : -






Its my ladies night time so I turned on my green neon tube I had to do 2 water changes 1 for the Tomatoes and 1 for my Great White Shark, both of those are in DWC and are both on starter flowering nuits now. My potted plants just needed watering so that was easy enough

I have only uploaded just a couple of night pics until lights come on at 7pm. I noticed when I opened my cabs doors that the Mylar on the doors had condensation on them so I changed the timer setting to keep the De-humidifier on from 7AM to 7PM (night time/lights off) with out any intervals in a bid to cut down on the condensation and to try and keep the humidity as low as possible.

More pics coming later this evening - STELTHY

Ok to start off Here's a song thats gotten me through today accompanied by a crate of beer and some good ol Mary Jane :

Ok now here's some pic's.....



Heres ann overview of whats going on..Everything is 'Super Thriving' - Sorry for the shit pun lol But seriously everything is going for it hell for leather - STELTHY

Despite having restricted access to the rays of the 400 the Pepper is still growing well, its about 8" tall and green as you like so I'll keep my fingers crossed for the little bugger! - STELTHY

The Lavender is filling out her pot nicely and she's starting to smell nice already! - STELTHY

The Great White Shark is huge, I started her on her flowering nuits today, my plan was to LST her but the cabs more crowded than I thought it would be! So I plan to tie down the branches gently and try to keep them as low as possible above the screen - STELTHY

The Strawberry Thai is very spinderly but never the less she has multiple tops and is 22 to 23" tall along with the others, and her leaves are looking better too - STELTHY

Its kinda hard to tell from this pic but the Mystery Plant is also doing well..A little stretched but well never the less and is also 22" tall - STELTHY
