Well looking very nice so far!!!

The one thing I noticed is you are using alluminum foil. Get rid of it ASAP. Use Mylar or flat white paint. Alluminum foil has the reflectivity of gray paint and can burn your plants if they come in contact with it.

[thanuttiscotsman]

hi there, oh ok will think about that, cheers rossco

[JackHerer]

Awrite Lad, nice looking grow you got going, I'll second on getting rid of the foil. If you have a read around you will find it only reflects heat at worst which can cause burning. Mylar or white paint is defnitley the advised route from what I have read as Jerry has pointed out.

[thanuttiscotsman]

hi there,
ok folks think i will loose the foil and see what differences there are.

cheers rossco

Yes very nice start! Looks like your past do to take a clone from each and force flowering to make sure you are not wasting your time with any males. Good Luck with your grow!

[Rusty Trichome]

i agree, but anyway mylar is good shit

...Until you have to clean it. (after every foliar soray) But when you do that, be careful of scratching and creasing.
Flat white paint, or flat white self-stick vinyl flooring squares are a great, a long-term option.
(A sample of the vinyl squares) (http://shop.vendio.com/powersellerusa/item/912966984/?s=1199014249)

Personally, on my back wall I use the underside of my old truck bed cover. Is a 3/32" white plastic sheet (pebble finish 4' x 6') and on the side walls, I had a roll of some bathroom shower-wall type of plastic sheeting that works perfect. (shiny white on one side, flat white on the other)
Easy to clean, doesn't flutter in the breezes, won't scratch unless I want it scratched...
Point is...whatever works is fine. I even used foil for about 15 years before mylar came out, never lost a plant because of it. (Using early mercury vapor, to boot)

[Weedhound]

Dump the foil.

[thanuttiscotsman]

hey folks,
and thanx for the replies! i have followed ur advice and ditched the foil! just slapped some white paint up for now! though iam a serious grower so will go buy some mylar in the next few weeks! ny the way YES, all these plants are showing female signs so im happy with that.

lol the binoculars are because im too tight to buy a new magnifying glass!! broke the last one, basically they are there for identifying bugs if i catch any inside the grow room, i grab them and check to see what they are just incase i can identify a bug problem early doors lol.
and for when it grows to a 5ft jungle i will use them to find my way out the grow room lmao.

pic is a bit dark but here is my grow room foilf free!!

[thanuttiscotsman]

hey folks,
jus poppin in to say hi and update. well i have found my first prob of this grow so far, i have symphilids (like aphids) little bugs that primarily eat new roots and shoots etc and also burrow into larger roots causing only death to the plant over time. this problem comes around from poor ventilation and high humidity.

so today i went straight out to get the equipment i should have had in use weeks ago, so basically its my fault this happened du to lazyness. so i got me some new fans, timers, ducting, and pesticide to kill the lil buggers.

also iam a little over due for cloning but i got loads more lots and compost in today. tis a bit of a pain atm because my growroom size is v restricted but the good news is im moving house v soon so will have 10x the space. but for today ive clipped 10 clones. as u can see in the pics its gettin pretty tight for space in there lol see here..........

Looks great, coming along nicely, your plants look full and healthy. You will be glad you took the clones, Being ahead is the name of the game. Thanks for sharing.

[Rusty Trichome]

Looking great
-but-
are the electrical cords still on the floor at the base of your plants? (safety, saftey, safety)

[GaGrown]

Do you have a dome for those cuttings? They will root faster if you keep the humidity high.You transplanted the first cuttings,huh? Looking good!

Ga Grown!
