You think watering with fishmix is bad, try foliar feeding.
I sprayed mine in my bathroom and now my bathroom smells like rotting fish almost a week later...

If you have a girl friend you can always blame it on them...

Picked up my soil and RVK fan number 2...

 

The goddam seller has sold me a A1 rather than a L1 fan...

 

Had to drive all that way just to return the fan...

 

Oh well this is what happens when you think you have spotted a bargain..

Bit of an update..

 

Just fed and watered after 48 hrs. 5 mls per litre of, fish mix, grow and root tonic. With a touch of bio silicon.

The plants are bustling. I can't use both lamps without having both fans! And as I said the seller sent me an A1 fan not a L1! I have my bonsai in there trying to bring it back to life.

 

Someone looked after it whilst I was on holiday and it's never been the same since.

This is the monkey fan in the bottom left hand corner. It oscillates across the canopy.

Underfloor heating...

The electronic department. Only one ballast running and it is 30c in there. Hope it doesn't overheat with ballast 2 on. Max temperature for ballasts is 40c!

 

Edit to add. .The ambient temperature is 24 c. 

It measured 31c with the probe directly on top of the ballast. Max ambient temperature for running temperature for the ballasts is 40c. We aren't anywhere near that though...

 

Regards dudes

I have bought two 120cm SCROG nets.

 

They are the thick heavy duty elastic material.

 

My plans for this grow are..

 

Return RVK A1.

 

Buy RVK L1

 

Veg plants under both 930 bulbs.

 

Fill out and grow out the plants until they need repotting to final 12 Litre pots.

 

LST / Lollipop them heavily, as the plants stems have grown very pliable and not stem or twig like at all. They bend very easily.

 

Place the final 8 plants in their most comfortable places on top of the 8 saucers in the chamber.

 

Introduce the SCROG nets which must be trimmed to fit 220 x 80 cm.

 

Flower them for the rest of the grow..

 

Stagger them by putting them into darkness in the drying tent when each of the plants is ready..

 

That's the plan although it may seem I am doing things in the wrong order I am pretty confident about this grow this time..

I don't have any problems or questions about this grow except...

 

What should I do about the plant stems being so flexible??

 

I have used a monkey fan so much that the leaves have windburn. And I have used a clip on 6 in fan when they were seedlings under T5..

 

I have used bio silicon now and again so the stems would be strong.

 

 

When I went in tonight to water and feed them I moved all the plant pots around and discovered that the plants can barely support their own weight...

 

Here ls a picture of after I moved them all around and then watered them...

The leaf damage was done by the monkey fan..

 

Managed to print off the return of the A1 RVK

Parcel is ready to go..

 

The seller said that they might be able to send the right fan this time, or a refund..

 

In the meantime here is the latest pic of the plants.. 

 

I'm going to do some heavy trimming and bend some stems.

 

They have vegged long enough but don't want to run both lamps without both fans.

 

I dialled down the 942 a lot as the lights are now half way up.

 

They are going to be monsters in flower!

I've never had lights with as good penetration as these CMH bulbs..

 

Even 600 MH can't beat it. And the 315w CMH runs at 25 percent of the 600w heat, and nearly half the energy.

 

Looking under the canopy every leaf is green..

Every bit of trim was green.. unfortunately I left the plants without water for an extra day, usually I feed/ water every other day.. 

 

This left some of the wilted leaves coming off in my hand..

 

I was left with a huge bag of trim, wondering where to dispose of this!
