20 august....(day 26 from sprouting)....31c daytime & low of 25c at night.......
#1 is still very slow
#2 (deformed) is growing ok now
#3 is ok
#4 is well ahead of the pack...........

lighting is now: 1 x 100 watt flood light.....4 x 12 watt @3000k led bulbs.....7 x 13 watt @6500k led bulbs.
also have a fan bringing cool, fresh air from outside directed underneath & on the bottom of the pots. also have an extractor wall fan at the top of the room taking warmer air outside of the building.
still using the co2 generator i made which might be working.......but i dont really know. not used the air con as of yet.

my question now is: If, after they start to flower, I move them outside.....would it be a good thing or bad?
we're at the arse end of the monsoon season & it still rains heavily every couple of days.

as i can't get proper ferts......started feeding them yesterday with 20-20-20 at a tiny fraction of the recommended dosage.
water every other day with 6.5-6.7ph until theres a little water coming out of the side of the cloth 5 gal pots.

any thoughts, direction or ideas are greatly welcome and appreciated chaps.........cheers!

I have now placed the two smallest outside. I may put the other 2 out, depending on the progress of the 1st two. Light cycle outside is around 13/11.....Everything I do is a gamble......no sign of flowering on any.

I would suggest stop changing their routines i.e moving them outside and back in and such the light pattern changes will have an effect on growth. I think for the most part you may be overthinking things and changing it up to often trying to fix problems you didnt really have. Stick to a routine and let nature run its course dont keep changing things in the hope that other will catch up. I got 6 clones 6 weeks ago 3 of them were much smaller then the other 3 now the 3 smallest ones are bigger then the originally bigger ones. Alltho i am just a noob aswell so may not be the best advice just trying to help bro.

pmsl....true. looks like 1kg will cost me $14usd............ if they reply & can deliver......which will be a bit extra........
bin thinking too much......n the mrs has been chiming me with her sudden input....... two to start.....hahahaha.....
so decided (could change.....again) to do 2 auto fem & then 2 more & then 2 more........ staggering.......
think autos will be easier n also with 5 gallon pots may reach somewhere close to their full potential.......in their predetermined lifespan...................not replanting will help too........
doesn't look like i can get ferts from abroad..............soils good tho.....& if there's one thing the village people round here know.....it's how to grow stuff..........
it's got: black peat soil, black burnt rice husks, cow shit, bird shit, coconut husk.......will add perlite, vermicompost, clay expandable balls...........will add organic compost if / when needed..........
also been checking out youtube experiments with 50 watt led spotlights.......... look fkn great...........
if funds can cover it.......i will buy 4 x 50 watt........2 of each 2700s & 6500s....(one per plant).........$25usd a piece.......even cheaper on juice & minor heat with fkn bright light.........altho.....when i say cheaper/cooler......that doesn't count if you're adding them on to your other lights......
not purchesed the air con.............yet.............delivery 3-5 days............apparently..........the room is quite cool at the mo with 3 walls complete.............because its bin pissing down a lot..........in fact it's been pretty spot on heat wise..........trouble is....when the clouds ferkoff it's 35 again........
the roof of the room is half covered by another roof over the top n trees around the back also shade the room well............
i may.......by some miracle........or by the fatherinlaws wisdomly design.........not need to shell out on aircon.............?????

NOTE: i can only communicate with my gf n the kids (limited).....there are no doods who look like me for miles around....... local kids see me n usually point n start fkn screamin...........even dogs are a bit suspect of me at first..........
my dogs only understand english........so speak more to them than anyone...............pmsl.

2 months of life in the sticks..............fkn love it.

With the autos run at least 18/6 light schedule. Any thing less will hurt yields.

You can break it up and run several 6/2 instead to help with heat.

All though thinking about my 6 plants are all the same pheno because theyre all taken from the same mother so naturally they will grow in a very similar fashion. You are growing from seed which means all will be a different pheno to the next especially if you are geowing different strains. But, again different phenos grow differently some grow vigorously while others bide their time i still think you should stick to routine though and try not to change things up so often.

Ahh i see man sorry should have refreshed the memory on the previous posts before weighing in, my bad bro im high af haha. But what i was saying about different phenotypes could be something to look into. No 2 seeds will grow the same.

I hope to God your not posting from inside China..... That would be a bad move. Find people locally who can teach you that you can trust. Please don't be from China. The government literally reads and prosecutes people for their emails and probably for accessing this site.

I appreciate that 20-20-20 is too high... but isn't 1/4 strength 5-5-5?
As I said....Where I live....I've got to struggle with what I can get my hands on. Which isn't a lot......Cheers!
Click to expand...
Yes it would be 5-5-5 but that is still way too high you want it tho be more like 6-4-2 in veg then 2-4-6 in flower you want it somewhere close to those values... That's what I run and my baby is loving itIMG_20170827_202753.jpg

Question :
My outdoor ladies are growing a lot better than my indoor favourite.... Even tho the indoor is on 19/5 & outdoor around 13/11. Shall I just put all outside? Will I get a better yield with sunlight? Cheers!
