I hope you have all your sticky digits crossed for me, Spandy. :) Thanks for passing through. LST'd my plants yesterday, they were tall enough to tie down so I did! And they've responded very nicely indeed. This week I shall be mostly training the little fekkers around the rim of my pots...

Sub'd! Noice! I'm impressed that you could wait 75 days before flowering :) I'm also using CFL's only in my micro shed grow. I'm three weeks in, and I intend to start flowering within the next two weeks using very much the same technique as your self. Kind of an experiment for me as I've never...

Pound shop it is then! I want to attempt getting into town this weekend - I have to plan these things as I live out in the stix, town is like 10 miles away... Chill as a chilled thing in a proper chilled place :) Light proof blanket, you say. hmmm. my think cogs are turning on this one...

On another note; I've still not tested my heat cables. I will try to find time this weekend and come back with the temp results ;)

Can't help with the root thing, Trout. I'm not so sure about mine either. I had intended just to leave mine in their current pots but after hearing your story and looking at pics on here I am now seriously considering transplants... although I have no room for that lol You could b right about...

Interesting stuff is that bubble foil. I've not come across it before. I suspect it may be useful so I'll have to investigate. Is it expensive? My issue with sealing the door, is that my door is a slab of cellotex. Taking it in and out every time already leaves a trail of foamy powdery stuff so...

lol! Yeah good guessing! 5am I got to bed! Today, I'm mostly using cruise control... My kids won't let me sleep in... Aye the heat cables... I'll probably leave it a day or two before pulling the plants out again. They've been in, out, in, out... they don't know if they're coming or going...

Cumbers - I like it! lol Can't say I agree with the time share though... :P Sounds like your shop keeper is an arsehole... it's a shame I think, when someone is in such a position to help so many people, but decides to be a miserable c**t instead. My mate goes to a local grow shop and he...

Thanks growone, that's awesome advice. It's hard to know exactly what to do in the case of LST as everyone has different opinions and techniques. i bit like having your first baby - everyone has something to say and you're always doing something wrong lol but what it comes down to is, it's...

Okay, so I've achieved a steady temperature through night and day with 24/0 light cycle with a 1 degree C difference. Here's some pics of my upgraded chamber :) Pic 1; Show the light leakage through my closed chamber door. Pics 1+2; Shows my out fan and vent. Pics 3+4; Shows my intake...

You're devised plan appears to be a good one! 10L tank of rain water with an aeration stone - dude, you're full of good ideas :) I'm tending to use 4L (2L Coke bottles) of tap water left overnight before mixing the nutes. With a once a week pure water feed to help dissolve and wash out...

That's something I've considered too. I tend to water a little every day, but then I have no trays underneath and don't really want a lake in my chamber. Though I upped the amount last time, to two coke cans worth (about 2/3 of a litre) for all 5. No run off and seems to be okay so far. I'd...

Nice ;) I'm also running my first grow, am 3 weeks into veg and very impatient!; https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/478214-experimental-micro-grow-cfls-1st.html Happy for you man - keep up the good work!

Nah mate, I gots skillz with the cellotex diggin' pmsl - was a right mess in there 4 sure but I did manage to contain it in the shed. Just been out to check the temps. Kinda warm outside compared to 4am this morning, but the chamber says 27.3C :D Can't believe it! And I didn't remove any bulbs...

I've been smoking nothing, so I have no excuse! hahaha Well, good news. I have an ambient temp inside my chamber of 26.2C and I'm dead chuffed ;) I've taken my two fans and dug out some holes for them inside the actual cellotex foam, with little tunnels through it, to the outside. Took bloody...

Mixed. I've currently got my 'out' at the bottom. Duh - I'm an astro physics student pmsl I should know all about subduction LoL

What do you mean by 'intake passive'? I have a fan hanging on string (as seen in previous pics) which is directed at the plants. Would it be better to use this for intake? I do like the idea of having it on the plants but it may be the last one I can find to use so must use it wisely. Plus...

Is looking good so far Troutie :) speaking as a non experienced grower lol But your chamber looks impressively tidy compared to mine. And loving the 'damp towel trick' I may give that a go too, but I'm really concerned now about my temps, now that I have a thermometer and it's telling me 'too hot!'

Talking about problems getting the basics set up - It's a great job I got my thermometer (it was delivered today), as my temperature is sitting constant at 35.5C with my cellotex door closed. Which would explain why the leaves are a little droopy. I think. The door itself I've cut into shape to...

Yes that's right I actually found a charger and did it! :hump: And I got bored so I cleared some space in my shed so I can actually stand in there now and maybe even have a second person too! Woo lol It's quite breezy in there now. Tomorrow I'll have a good idea if it's working inside by...
