hey Tricka yeah im good thanks mate.

yeah i was a lilttle worried there for awhile between the the fimming/topping and nute burn slowed em down a bit but yeah all is well at the momment.

I have got 175mm and i can pretty much put the light right to the top mate cause my chains on my light setup has hooks on the roof of the lil tin shed and i cut lil slots to stick em down in my tent if ya get me will get some pics.

I karchered (pressure cleaned) the old fridge out an the boards out im using with bleach an mould killer spent a few hours in the shed putting it together not quite finished yet will post pics when im done just need some gap filler an cut my plastic to size.

what a nightmare it was all to put 4 boards on and fill some holes lol.
im no builder was a mission my drill bit broke so screwed em all in by hand haha there was some swearing going on.

and yeah tricka i want another 2 or 3 of those fans there sweet.

im not 100% sure when to flower i thought they where a lil small them being the white widow
what you think mate im open to suggestions as to when to flower that is?

hey Master Hemp yeah it's weird there spose to be sativa dominate lol.

ya must get whatever the seed companys have got lying round.

but hey im happy.

well all i know is that they can be a longer flower, more than what the breeder and seedbank says...some 12wks+, tho yours does seem the Indica Dom pheno as MH pointed out.
In general a safe bet is to consider your plat a third, it will grow the next 2 thirds in Bloom...so you will have to work that out yourseld in relation to your cab height and pot/plant size

cheers tricka well looking at them there lucky to be 30cms tall so 90cms in all if i flower now i got that in the bag lol.

so they could do with being a lil taller. my way of think was wait until they bushed out passed the edge of the pots an flower.

I'll play it by ear not to worried bout time now i got the veg cabinet on the way cause that gives me a couple months to veg some plants while there budding.

hey man how many cfls will i need to veg some plants i was thinking 1 or 2, 200watt cfls off ebay.

already posted this in the aussie growers thread but thought id post it here to

ok this is my veg cabinet few hours of messing round as im no cabinet builder or any sort of builder for that matta

velcro strips for the front and to make sure of no light leak i got some magnets glued some duct tape as some my of plastic didt go round far enough an magnets would't stick so duct tape lenghthened it a bit and that seemed to work

anyway this is the guts of and old fridge few boards few screws few bits of velcro magnets and duct tape bobs ya uncle and a grand total of 0 dollars to make as it was just old shit i had lieing round

anyway i hope it works.

the only thing i dnt have any fans im just thinking a couple of pc fans should do it as its pretty small.

Hey there J...your an ideas man too i see, what a perfect build, all for nothing and you got power wired and light proofed it, well done mate, that there will serve its purpose quicker than you think! 200W CFL hell yeahz! i was gonna get two but the hydro store didnt have them, only DHS but i wanted mine there and then. just a bit of advice, im using a 100mm ezyair fan for my 3 CFL's and its not quite big enough, tho i am splitting it into two 100mm duct sections which will surely wipe out its power, i did burn my leaves from the bulb as they run pretty warm, Ha and i got 3 x 130, i think even the biggest PC fan may have dramas, tho unless you run no duct, just straight mount it to the cab then you will be fine, just get a bigger one or three ;)

hey tricka cheers mate im usually the kind of person that buys everything hehe but low funds = ideas lol. I got 120mm pc fan yeah thats my plan might run like 200 mm of ducting just enough to keep light in

Hey J, mine was supposed to be indica aswell lol judging by what the seedbank said, i ended up with a heap of indica looking phenos which ended up being male and this sativa pheno which was female :lol:
If you flower now they should stretch out and make some nice colas mine tripled in size once i switched to 12/12, while you flower these beauties just start veggin some others and get a perpetual going, when flower finishes for the widows you got another batch ready to go in the flower room, nice grow so far man, +rep to you when it lets me

Clones are the way to go man, it'd be good to hang on to that ww strain atleast you know you have some good genetics and 100% females. The clones will be of decent size by the time the originals finish up, not sure if youve seen the recent pics of my ww in the aussie thread, but that was from a clone and turned out lovely

Hey jzs, i try to take big cuttings if i can, but i recently cloned my blueberry gum and the cuttings on that were tiny bout 5-6 inches tall, i placed them in rockwool and they rooted just fine, i always had better success cloning with jiffy pellets aswell but rockwool worked well this time around, keep us posted on those clones, goodluck man!
