Hi ya Delux
Yeah , I just sat them in the soil in the pot's so they don't roll about... give them a bit of support
,I have back filled round them since i took the pics I was really supprised by how well the cuttings acted after planting them , I put straws in with them to prop them up incase they wilted a little .. lol they pushed the straws out of the way ... no wilting what so ever
I soaked the jiffys overnight in a 1 ltr mix of PH ballenced water ( 5.8 ) with 1mil of Rhizotonic and 1 mil of H2o2 then gave them a little squeeze befor putting the cuttings in .... I allso put them in the pots empty under the light in the propergator for a few hours prior to planting to get them up to temp .... the clones LOVED it
Thanks for the pointer ... but they are nice and tucked away now
Will try and give a better update later

finally - the pics of my little veg rack (not for potatoes n shit - for vegging in the 1st 4 weeks) simple screwed together strips of wood (£6) and some white/black/white (£3 worth) along with my flourescent tubes - seems to work ok! As you can see, I added some small hooks and chains to adjust the height (£7 max)

LOL .. use the edit button and clean up my Journal you pikiey
See .. heres the thing ...You have NO need to feel embaressed about that one tiny bit Cafe ... you have a veg box For £16 thats to be appluded mate ... It works .. does the job its ment to do and you never had to bend over when it come time to pay for it all
I love it ... and im inspired to actauly build something like it ( as my veg box is only really big enough for about 10 small cutting's / babys ) in the very near future... So you should be PROUD of your fine craftsmanship and your sence with money ... I wish the world had more people like you
+rep If you can tidy my J by the time i get back P

hahahaha...pikey. Thx - didnt know you could do that! always too stoned to notice stuff like that properly! lol - all tidied I hope?
Thanks bud - I thought it might help somebody who is better placed to spend money on more essential products if it's their first set-up - I'm glad you like the idea!
Yeah, mine's just big enough for about 4 plants - more than enough for my needs.

Day ?? ( need to re-count... 8 Weeks Veg + TWO Weeks & 2 Days Into Flower Stage )
Hi all
Sorry for the delay in my updates...But im trying
Last Grow Room Update i was just getting over a battle with heat issues i think , I resolved it with a Passive intake vent cut into a loft hatch just outs side the Grow Room .
It's all contained within the one cupboard ... I Ran a duct from the hatch , Across the loft and down into the flower room , Connected it to a Cool Tube and connected the other end to duckting back out into a second Loft to where my my extraction fan is located .
*Pics to be added later*
I had no issue at the time with oder so that was a quck fix , I later added a T-Peice Connector inside the room to pick up the Carbon Filter ... So i had negative preasure ... a cooled Light .... and oder control all by adding a vent and a T-peice
Clone Time ..
So with all heat issues sorted i decided now was a good time to take clones , This was a bit of a dreaded moment for me , I knew WHAT to do ...I just wanted to make sure i dit it RIGHT .
I'm happy to report it all went well and all 6 of my clones have taken root and are well on the way now
Flower Period Begins 10 / 08 / 10
So with all heat issues sorted , Clones Taken and looking very fit and healthy ..It was Flower Time
This was 6 days in and as you can see they had shot right up .
Sorry about the pics.. i have a better on now as you will see below
Flipped to 12/12 as soon as i had the heat under control ( 10 August ...my moms birthday ) and all i can say to discribe what happened next is ..... WOW !
The growth in the first week was allmost violent ... and by the end of the second week ...i was praying for the growth to STOP ... or at the very least slow down ... Wow they grow FAST !
The preflowers turning to buds within 2-3 days ... then the buds just sprouting all over the plant from top to bottom, Im shocked at how many buds and the sizes of them when i compaire them to my friends plants that are exactley the same strain.
It really is night and day ...and heres the reason i think mine are diffrent .
I started useing H2o2 and Mono Nitrogen just befor i flipped to 12 /12 , For 2 feeds befor i flipped i was adding
2mil per ltr of Mono Nitrogen ( 27% )
1mil per ltr of H2o2 ( 17.5% )
I had also been useing Cannazym for about 2 feeds prior to that .
I will let you decide for your self if my plants look better for it when you see my buddys plants .
View attachment 1122332
Started to use Canna Boost this week for the first time , Cant say i have seen much difference with it yet ... but it's only been a couple of days , Fed them late last night again so need to wait till lights on to see if i can notice any changes in bud growth .
I'm pretty excited about how all of this has gone and im looking forward to the next 5 or so weeks to see the buds forming and growing
Here is the Feed schedual im on at the moment .
All mil per 10 ltrs
Canna A + B 25 -35
Canna Rhizotonic 5
Cannazym 25
Canna Boost 25
Mono Nitrogen 5
And one shot of PK 13/14 last week
Thats all i can think of at the moment , If you have any questions or want to dive in and add some input ... Feel free
I will be adding some shots over the weekend but for now ... Thanks for watching and lets hope the next 5 weeks result in some aazing looking buds
I will post some pics of my friends plants later ...we need some help as his grow is NOT going to well .
Thanks for watching guys ... Hope you have a GREAT weekend

Hi ya Fella's
Ok ... The time has come .... I need to make / find / Buy some kind of Clone/ Veg / Mother Garden ....i'm allready pushed for room as it is ... so i need to put a lot of thoght into this ....I only really have one choice for a location
The room i'm in now ( Spare room ) is where my PC and a load of " MY THING'S " are located , I have mad big Tool Boxes , Nirto RC Cars & and all the kit that goes with keeping them running ... Deck's and mixers ..amp's and god knows what else , i have my little clone room i made a few weeks ago and another unit just like it .... Basicley this room is RAMMED fulla gear that i CANT get rid of , My loft is crazy full of stuff from moving ... boxes ... crap that i keep " Just In case i might need it " along with a multitude of other things ...I doubt im gonna actualy need that time laps security VCR though
So ... i need to learn E-bay or something ... get rid of some crap ... make room for some of the other crap so that i can get a bit of space in this room .
THEN and Only THEN can i set up a little plan i have for a 3 -4 level storagte cupboard , Was looking at one in argos for £70 ... but seen a bigger better looking one for a bit cheaper ( but cant remember where ( forgot to bookmark )... andy one got any recomendations ?
So the plan is ... a locking storage cupboard ... Lower section for a couple of mothers with a MH ... Middle section for Vegging , Might use some CFL's or some tube floros .... Then The top section for Clones ( Thinking about an Aeroponic Cloner with Mist maker ) might use some CFL's or some tube floros there to .... Straight away one word jumps to mind " HEAT " ...so i might deploy a small ex fan and maybe a filter in a seprate top section and have a passive intake at the bottom .... Thinking about the " Air Floor " system Hobb's was talking about .
So thats the plan.... Now i need to learn e-bay ...i have NO clue lol .... then clear some crap out .... then go and get all the kit needed .
I have about two weeks to do this befor my clones become to big for that clone box i built
Any ideas ?.... anyone know how e-bay works ? lol
I will find the cupboard thing again and post some pics ...maybe collect a little list of things needed to get it up and junning and journal the build ... could be fun
Will allso update with some pics of the POG later today... some hairy lookin pussy's on my girls now mmmm yumm
