    Mega lumen setup. Fingers crossed!

    Right then, time for an update....

    I think I did the right hand plant no good at all by forgetting to switch on the air pump (5 days without pump), it seems to be in poor health compared to the left hand plant. A lot of the leaves have become discoloured toward the edges and growth has stunted (except for the flowers, they are still growing). I have flushed it twice in the last 3 days and hope it will pick up again.

    Other than that, the other plant is doing great, so not the end of the world. :hippy:

    Couple of pics below.....

    Well, looks like the right hand plant will be okay. It still hasn't started stretching wildly like the left hand plant, but it's condition hasn't got worse, so all good.

    Flowers are still developing nicely, can't wait till the trichs start glistening..:jointsmile:

    Also, I have a couple of small plants (about a foot high, not more than an eighth ounce on each I wouldn't imagine) which are in small pots in the garden that I completely forgot about. They were clones that I put in soil ages ago as mothers but then didn't need, so they got thrown into the corner of the garden. The flowers are not yet complete, but it's getting cold and wet outside, so I'm a bit concerned about bud rot (a tiny bud has already gone grey and mouldy) so may harvest them soon. They smell amazing, and will be a proper head high. :stoned:

    Pics below taken yesterday. :thumbsup:

    Hey Moz, they are real easy to flush as long as you fit a means of draining them before you start using them. The usual method is to drill a hole near the bottom of the bucket (I used a 16mm drill bit) and fit a 16mm O/D (13mm I/D) rubber grommett from the inside. You can then fit a 90 degree elbow (outer section pointing up) and a piece of clear tubing. The clear tubing acts as a nutrient level indicator and you can turn the elbow through 180 degrees to drain the bucket (into another bucket of course). This saves you having to move your plants when you drain the nutes. If you go to the start of my grow log and look at the left hand bucket in the early pics you will see the clear tube (ignore the right hand bucket, that uses an experimental method I am trying, where I have a T piece instead of an elbow, which allows an extra tube with a tap to drain, but I'm not too keen on it). You need to make sure you have room to put a bucket below the bottom of your grow bucket in order to drain it..... hope this all makes sense.

    As for the cool tube, my local hydro shop sells them for around £45 for a 5" diameter and £50 for a 6". If you have a local shop they can help with allsorts of stuff.

    Peace :hippy:

    Update, 21 days in flower.

    Just looked in on the ladies and noticed some nice sugary trichs starting to show through, unfortunately my usual camera has gone for repair as it was playing up, so I will have to make do with an old crappy camera for a while.

    Both plants are looking real niiiice!

    Just done a nute change and thought I would take some pics while I was at it. They are both doing well.

    Pic 3 is a closer pic of the plant that was without an air pump for 5 days.

    Lots of buds, lots of trichs, things are building up pace now! I had a little rummage through the undergrowth, and there are so many buds forming right in the thick of the plants! This must be a result of the 400w HPS light because although there were some buds lower down on my previous grows (with the 250w HPS), there were never this many.... awesome!

    Still using the crap camera, although think I'm getting slightly better results from it now (been pissing about with the settings). Pic 3 shows some nice trichs forming on the smaller plant.
