Well things are looking up! I have a source for some bubblegum clones! :D
They should be ready in 2 weeks for me to pick up so I don't have to worry about these seeds I have. They haven't popped yet anyway.
So Im gunna grab a few of these clones and stick one in this case and one or 2 in the other cab.
Yay for known genetics! Lol I can't wait now :P

Well this he she is a funny little thing, only one of the buds has the pollen sacs and seeds, Only ic couple of the other buds have one maybe 2 at most seeds in them. Its also still pumping trichs out all over, light touch leaves my fingers sticky and sweet smelling :D should be a decent outcome after all!

I found either a dead nutsack, a seed, or an insect/ insects babys on my plant the other day, touched it and it fell off lol. Plant looks fantastic mane

cheers dude!
Weekly update time!
Think i have a bit of a deficiency problem this week, few of the lower leaves have started to yellow and have brown spots, not too worried at this point just as long as doesnt get any worse, i suspect it may have been due to the res ph being too high at around 6.3 for the last couple of days. This res change i have lowered the nutes a tad and next week i may start flushing, will check trichs and see how it goes.

I got busy today and modified the case a little. ive setup the lights so now i can adjust the height by sliding the whole light rig up or down on steel rods bolted to the top of the case, no more dodgy wood blocks to chock up the tub :D
ive also added switches and speed controllers to the front 2 intake fans, now allows me to have individual control over each fan depending on temps etc. i planned on adding a speed controller to the 2 exhaust fans but i cant find the damn thing, i turned me shed upside down looking for it lol. oh well it'll turn up when im not looking for it :)
finally got around to gluing and sealing the top light trap down, got tired of it wanting to fall off all the time.

Haha who's stalking who! Lol

Cheers for the kind words guys, I nearly have this case setup perfectly, still couple of minor alterations to go :)
The tub size is actually less than 2L, I think its closer to around 1.2L cos my 600ml fill mark is pretty much half way up the tub.
Next grow in this case I may end up going for a larger Res.

Hey dude that light is a GREAT improvement! Looks very clean. The plant looks great really, I wouldn't worry too much about burn/ def. at this point, if you want to correct it here's something that should help you a lot.

A lot of people have problems with their hydroponic grows because the pH of their water can change what amount of nutes the plant takes in.. good luck

not a bad size plant at all for that pot size. i like how IHAOQ 1 gallon plants growing, imagine something bigger!

thanks alot for the pic, im def going to have to refer back to this

Yeah I found that pic the other day too, that's what makes me think the deficiency /burn was caused by high Ph. Got it at 5.8 now.
Im surprised how well it is doing in that small tub, root mass has nearly filled the bottom of the Res! But yeah next grow will most likely get a bigger Res and I want to attach a scrog screen to the top of it so I can remove the whole Res from the case for top ups and cleans :)
Seen some nice tubs at the supermarket which should fit nicely.

I did use h2o2 for a couple of weeks when we were getting 40C + days, was only the 3% stuff from the supermarket.
Now our outside temps are around 28C so don't think I need it.
Was using about 2ml /L, not sure if it helped, but it didn't show any heat stress that I noticed.
Those 40+ days saw Res temps in excess of 30C regularly for about 2-3 weeks!

H2o2 =hydrogen peroxide. Can be used to clean /sterilize yer hydro buckets etc
Another use is to add extra oxygen to your nutrient solution, from what I understand if temps get excessively high the levels of dissolved oxygen in the water drop resulting in less oxygen available to the roots. So adding h2o2 can help increase the levels of dissolved oxygen.
That's my understanding anyways, I may be wrong :)
It also comes in a few strengths, 3% available from supermarket, ~30% from chemists? And I think there's a stronger one you can get from hydro stores. From memory anyways, been a few bowls since I read that lol


Edit : found the thread about it https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/311670-guide-hydrogen-peroxide-hydroponics-systems.html
