You are welcome!

Apologies for the interruption.

It seems i'm having trouble uploading photos, it says they are uploaded but then they don't appear in the 'my photos' tab.

We had a site-wide problem with photo uploads yesterday affecting everyone. Apologies for that. All fixed now.

you can go to the 420 app

Better than 420 for a number of reasons is our free 420 Magazine app. Here's the link - Information For All 420 Users

OK back with another update.
Had some roots showing through the rockwool. So its time to take it to the next step.

I've got two 40 litre tanks each will hold 6 little ones, two 600w hps bulbs and I've managed to acquire 2 fish tank heaters for the water, and a couple of bubble stones.

I'll post another update soon, once we have finished filling the water and all setup fully.

OK back again, just having a coffee break.
I've lowered lights to 1 metre, added a scrog screen (looks a little bit too high to me but I'm going with the advice I've been given and what I've read online.) it's around 22 inches from the top of the tray.
Fans are setup, so it seems all to do now is transfer the plants to their new home .

OK, so all in now . . .

Got the water to 5.9 ph level with quarter strength nutes.

Had a quick check in the greenhouse and mother and 2 extra little ones seems to be doing well.

fed them on a quarter strength soil nutes too.
I'm done for today time for a beer in the sun . . . . .
Thanks for looking guys, any advice would be appreciated.

Hey guys back again...
Thinking I should move this because it's no longer a 'budget cfl grow'.....anyways... Here's my update..

looking good in the hydro setup .
On the other hand though, due to the weird sunlight patterns in my greenhouse I think the mother has started flowering .

and the cuttings I did too

I think I will just leave them to flower and see what happens... I will be able to just take cuttings from the hydro tent soon enough anyway.

OK back again quick photo update.
All is looking well and getting along nicely.

Roots showing through as well,

I'm thinking to top them at around 10 inches high? And then let them grow to the screen and work from there.

Hey guys back again with a new update. A couple have now started to touch the screen

So, from past experience (what little I have) and what I have read online and been told by friends, this is the time to trim the foliage around the bottom. I was quite reluctant to do this, and was constantly taking pics of my progress and sending them to my friend asking if it was too much or not enough
Anyways, this is the end result

Mother plant is growing well, I'll do a photo update of that another time. The other 2 clones have gone to another home and I am in the process of starting 2 new from seed.

I think I'll go with root riot cubes again, and just put them in prop for a few days and see how it goes.

Wow, you got some good mentors, your doing great with your setup. I'm sticking around for this show.

Cheers

Hope all is well in your world.

Is this grow still alive?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

If you need any help with posting photos, please read our Photo Gallery Tutorial.

I am moving this to Abandoned Journals until we get updates.

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.

Hey guys, sorry for the late update (again).
I'm just into 5th week of flowering. Its looking quite overcrowded and I'm thinking maybe i should have done 4 per tray rather than 6.

I will be back with a more in depth update soon.

 

[evilryu667]

OK here's a new photo update.
Tomorrow will be that last day of week 9 of flowering.
I've got a 100x pocket microscope and have tried looking for the trichomes, they all look clear, I think if what I'm looking at is correct.What do you guys think? Is it nearly ready to start flushing?
Any feedback would be appreciated cheers.

I accidentally leant on one of the heads and its almost snapped ..... I've tried to support it with some wire.
I've just taken this photo now... You can see a lot more of the pistils have changed colour.. I'm thinking to start flushing in next day or two?
