Sorry no update in a while, repotted them into 10L pots, one had a Mag deficiency cos the Miracle Grow starter soil doesnt include it as a micronutrient (go figure) but its coming back and one of them has female preflowers already. They're growing extremely dense nodes at this point, cant wait to flower these... maybe 2-3 weeks and then Ill think about it. Will throw up some pictures soon.
Looks savage mate.

Alright Harrekin, nice setup you got yourself there, Id also def go for the cooltube in a tent like that, otherwise when the plants are big, your temperatures will be mental. What you growing them in? Is it just the photo, or are they lookin a little on the yellow side? Just compared to your avatar pic, say. Nice pic btw
, is that yours? Anyhow, looks like your gonna have some fine weed, looking forward to seeing how they come along. Good luck man, +rep

The temps are still pretty low, rocking heat matts in there to try heat it up! They were a bit yellow before but they've really greened up now, that Miracle Grow seed starter soil I started them with is muck, only since I transplanted into the All-Mix soil have they really gone the "proper" green...the most recent pic just looks yellow cos of HPS tho.
The pic in my avatar is a Lowberry (dodgy non-autoflowering "autoflower" cross between LR2 and Blueberry), was beautiful, but the spider mites got it in the end just a week or two after I induced flowering...didnt know how to deal with them then, it was all webbed up and I just said fuck that!
Im hoping for like 12 zips outta these in the end, I know its a pretty ambitious target, but with the topping/LST combo Ill be starting soon I think its reachable. (Yopped to give 4 colas then when they grow a bit Ill LST them to the corners, wait a few days then flower, really good penetration cos of its low profile)

K i wanna say both Harrekin and BigBuds have great setups in the Dr80 and im quite jealous! haha. I have a DR80 as well but an oversized cooltube!! too long to fit horizontal (if i wanted it attached to any ducting) so i had to go vertical and i'm not happy with how it turned out. My next grow i want to try and copy BigBuds design layout which means i may have to buy a smaller cooltube. Do you mind asking where you got yours BigBuds?
Also Harrekin how is the heat in your tent? I noticed you have a filter and intake fan but nothing attached to light for cooling. Any issues at all? As a last resort I may have to switch to a small reflector with no cooling to light eek heh
+rep for the thread and designs guys!
might as well show you a few pics so you know what i mean hehe

Wow.... That is cold...
damn that is cold!! i guess you wouldn't have a problem then with your light being to hot haha. do you have to keep the light farther away from the plants?

Id say its just over a foot away from them, maybe 16 inches purely for coverage, any lower and plants on the edge are slightly shaded...was thinking about getting a 400w MH and hanging them side by side, full spectrum jobby. If needs be Ill buy two cooltubes and link them with ducting and a high powered fan to cool both.

Hello everyone , great thread just thought i could share my grow if thats ok, this is my second grow cfl only 2- 300 watt red spec cfls, At the moment from day one of germinating seeds, i have 3 maxigom autos going on day 64 a bit slow , 3 speeddevil for sweetseeds at day 59 funny thing about them the SD all 3 look different i guess its what they call unstable strain or phenotypes just a heads up to anyone looking at buying them , all looking good but one seems to have the better genes it has more trics since day 45 and more milky looks like it will be the first to mature. i also have some younger strains 2 fast bud from sweetseeds at day 34 and 1 big devil day 33 from sweetseeds. Also to new growers who want auto seeds sweetseeds has a pretty good deal where u get 3 diff autos 2 seeds of each total 6 seeds for 45 euros. last grow even with many fuks ups the speeddevil yielded 30 grams dry but this time and roadrunner 45 grams dry. Last pic is the roadrunner close to cut date.

i agree buts its a bit hard to get 2 300 watts close to 9 plants since some are 70 cm and the others are 45cm 50cm and i have 3 new ones coming up that are 30 to 40 cm , im waiting for 3 to stop growing in the next 6 days and then i will be able to cover the edges of the grow tent with the tall ones and keep the short ones in the middle and place the bulbs more in the center. thanks for the advice hope my plan works this is my second grow.
