I haven't used my bho tube for over a year. the end result is way too strong for me, my tolerance is low so i usually flog the hash n honey oil i make for a nice price. no one else sells the good stuff so i make a killing on it.

well off to trim i go. plants a beast too

1) Do you fancy selling (or trading) that BHO tube if it's a decent one?

2) Don't do anything with that trim, hash wise until you come back from work on Monday......

and can u help me out on what lighting I'm gonna need to keep 2 mother's as well as cut and raise clones?there gonna be in a ds90x90 tent

Are you going to set up this ds90x90 for mothers and clones only?

Mother's and clones but want to be able to veg the clones in there as well so they can go strait in to the flower tent when they ready.

Mother's and clones but want to be able to veg the clones in there as well so they can go strait in to the flower tent when they ready.

I'd go for a 250w MH in a regular reflector to keep the heat in the tent for the mothers and veg, then construct a clone box for the corner out of a rubbermaid type tub with a couple of small CFL's for your clones.

A 400w MH would be better for vegging but it would also make your mothers grow too fast and would probably need a cooltube in a tent that size.

A quick peek before a pot up, tidy up and re-arrange.



The babysitter done well after a pissed up crash course in PH'ing and feeding at 4.30am.

For a bottle of voddy and sleeve of cigs he can sit again!

 

[shawnybizzle]

Sound ikode has got a 250 I can have off him what about a t5? Fookin ell there's gonna be extensions and plugs everywhere in me bedroom Lol.cheers mate this is gonna be a new venture for me I can't wait to start taking clones and shit

 

[trichome 1]

4.5 that's low mate but if our run off is 5.5 then I'd just wait till she's dry and feed with a pH about 6.0 -6.5 and u should b looking better after a few days to a week.
And when you feed you should feed with nutes then the next time she thirsty just plain water and again for the next watering then feed nutes again its a good way not to over feed and get deficiencies

yeah my nutes are already mixed and ph to 6 I had to get my missis to check the colour as to my eyes they look similar lol cheers

They look very nice and healthy mate good work what do u grow in and feed em?

 

[The Yorkshireman]

what about a t5?

Aye, fixed to the underneath of the lid on the inside would do the trick. Maybe 2.
Make sure you get a solid colour tub and not transparent, too much light from the 250w in the tent can fuck your clones.

I keep mothers in soil and grow in coco.

I make my own regime from raw salts or single element liquid ferts and use 'Biobizz Grow' as a base veg nute.

You can have my fogponic cloner tutorial if you want it, top results on fuck all money.

 

[shawnybizzle]

Sounds like u got your shit sorted mate I'm thinking of switchin to plant magic nutes over canna? And I'm getting some if those air pots there not cheap tho are they!

 

[shawnybizzle]

Yeh I'll tay it as long as it ain't too complicated Lol I was thinking of those jiffy pellets

The 1L ones are short of £2 each and the 10L ones are around £4.50.

Oh that's not that bad then must of been looking at the wrong place I use 18 Ltr pots 4 of em under 600 hps would 10 ltr be big enough or would I have to get 20s?

I was going to chuck you it in a PM but I've just remembered the photo uploader is a pain in the arse.

Fuck it I'll sling it up here and everybody can have it.

How big do you grow your plants? 18L is a waste unless you're rocking big eff off trees.

 

[shawnybizzle]

Yeh there quite big normally this grows a bit diff but normally around 4-6 a plant this grow I haven't topped any of just to see what's its like and Ive suffered on the yield I think but you never know. At the min 2 of em are 5 footers with nice big colas but the afghan is only 22" tall pmsl nice thick cola on it though

Fogponic Cloner on a Budget.


For those of you who aren't familiar with the term 'Fogponics' it is an advanced type of aeroponics that delivers water, oxygen and nutrients to the plant roots in the form of water vapour (fog). Using the same principal as aeroponics except that fogponic systems utilise a very small water particle size (5-30 microns), plant root fibres absorb water most efficiently when the particle size is between 1-25 microns in size. The smaller the particle size the more efficient the uptake of water, oxygen and nutrients.

(1 micron = 1 thousandth of a millimetre, 0.001 mm)

So let's crack on...........




First of all you need to go on ebay and buy an ultrasonic fogger unit like this one.



This fogger cost me around £9-$13 and was the cheapest unit I could find at the time that didn't have LED's fitted.

(DO NOT USE A FOGGER UNIT WITH L.E.D LIGHTS FITTED, THEY WILL LIGHT UP YOUR ROOT ZONE AND KILL YOUR ROOTS!)


The unit works by sending an ultrasonic pulse through the water by way of a vibrating membrane, the pulse is so small and rapid that instead of splashing the water it makes a vapour.


I spent quite some time working out the optimum space for this unit with various sized buckets/containers and I've managed to get it perfect.

You need a sandwich box that measures 11" x 11" x 4.5".



Then you need a drill and a 1" flat wood bit.



Drill some holes.



Some duct tape on the bottom to keep light out, unless you're lucky enough to find a box the right size that isn't transparent.



There will be a small 'light leak' gap made by the box lip that has to be dealt with by putting a band of tape around the inside of the box, flush to the edge of the box.



You need a 13 mm flat wood bit to make a hole in the side for the power cable.



The cable comes in 2 parts, feed it through the hole from the inside making the plug a tight fit.

alreet ripper, hows tricks?

those foggers are ideal. all normal aquarium ones seem to have LEDs in the bottom
