Yo fellow kiwis haven't been active lately super busy with the family . Also not much action in the garden as my last run turnt out to be males haha not sure if it was the person who supplied me the clones or one of my neighbors has a male and it polinnated mine ( over 4 years of dealing with this person for clones never not once had any males ) but yea it is what it is . I ended up putting two runts that I had in a closet under a cheap blurlpe Into a tent under the Helios 450x and am pretty impressed with the results nothing to impressive as the girls receive next to no love haha been running a survival of the fittest type garden recently but running cost compared to hps Is pretty much half the price and seem to produce nice buds can't wait to do a proper run with this light . Will try get some better pics when the lights turn on my phone's quite shit 
, Also ordered a few different fem strains from Herbie's head shop (advanced seeds) traking shows them sitting at my local depot pretty excited to get them sproutrd also got a few autos to try see how it goes but yea much love to all and great to see Abit of action in the thread

It looks like those ‘runts’ are humming along nicely PATSR420 If these seeds don’t turn up I’ll have a go with that supplier, obviously the whole Covid shit doesn’t help at the moment, but I’m pretty impatient and it’s coming up a month now.
That clone I’ve been vegging out to be a mother is looking good tho, I’ll try get some cabinetry built so I can show that off in my next round of pics

Yea there doing okay bit of mag deficiency but still going strong about 2 to 3 weeks left tomorrow will be the start of week 8 have found this stain takes a little while longer than others but has a nice citrus'ty taste I like so have keepet it around for a while . I only chose Herbie's as I found another member in nz that had a few from them and had a good success rate of them coming through also nice quality the strains seem to be true to name but yea man this covid stuff is a headache hard to get anything during lockdown haha had a bit of a stuff up with clones needing to be transplanted to there homes but couldn't buy any decent soil anywhere so gave them to one as f my neighbors , I've got a few mother's around the house cubbardds one I've had for 2 years plus might clone each one and give to mates (just so they will be around if I feel like running them again) then flower them to make room for new mother's that I'm hoping to find out of the strains I've just purchased

Yeah, I’ve got a few mates all with small grow setups, everyone has their own strain/s so we can swap around when we want, also a bit of fun/banter when comparing outcomes, as all our styles/environments/and processes are so different. Will end up with quite a few mothers between us in the coming months.

Good idea man. Keep the green going eh. Only started growing last year but loving it so far. Upgraded to a slightly bigger tent and light and keep cooking my seedlings but it's a learning process eh. Can't wait for a few more weeks to get a few outdoor going

Yeah I woke up to the choppers going hard this morning, heavy frost again, lucky I have been lazy and the pots with seedlings for outdoors are still on the toilet windowsill, was gonna put them out this weekend but I might give it another week. Not sure about this lot of bagseed, they already have massive spacing between nodes….

Mate me too. Flying round at 2am, back at 3am. Used to be stressed as fuck when I had the plants outside.indoor good for stealth but outdoor gets bigger imo. Bag seeds hit and miss in eh, had some good ones but also had a few herm. I've got quite a few seeds if you need some bro. Mixed variety and not all pop tho.

Yeah I got a shit ton of bagseed, if they turn out male, they end up compost, no stress to me. I don’t really do anything for the outdoor ones, I have a drum outside my room I pump my hydro res into every nute change and I water everything outside with it, fruit trees, veges, herbs the lot. If they grow they grow, if they develop deficiencies too bad. It’s my zero fucks given gardening approach.

Thanks man yea they are pretty buds , oh mean that's good bro Ive herd some nice things about the moby dick . Mine were supposed to arive today but had trouble with my adress I had to ring them up and verify it haha was Abit worried at first but they said should get parcel tomorrow also waiting on a order from herbal house purchased the 10 gallon fabric pots for my next run also grabbed a bit of the herbies dry nutes I used the 4-4-4 on a mother plant and noticed a significant amount of improvements within a week or 2 so am going to give them a go on my next run . Far man my first 2 years of growing was from bag seeds done well but got annoying iwould plant Abit more than what I wanted to run then as soon as I could get a clone of em I would then flower them out to see sex of plants before I transplanted them to bigger pots to try save money but yea haha was app a learning curve

I avoid that company like the plague, everything they supplied failed, they wouldn’t honour warranty and threatened me with the police stating ‘I believe you are using our products for illegal activity’
Tayte Cozen was the owner, just a scum bag P.O.S as far as I’m concerned.
