Afghan Kush - 1st Time Grower

[achilles]

Hi Guys!

Is it too late for these girls to be re-potted for flowering? or will that stress them out too much? and hamper my end quantity of product?

Is it possible to re-pot whilst flowering has commenced?


Cheers :thumbsup:

Its up to you, but I've never seen any damaging effects from repotting within the first month of flowering. As long as its done a little dry(makes it much easier) then there should be no stress.

Thanks Achilles,

I've got an experiment I'm gonna try out with the re-potting...

My H.P.S still hasnt arrived yet 6 days since I ordered it!

My girls are getting Waaay too big for my veg cab so I've tied some of the branches down on them In the hope that this light gets here soon!

I've got a bit of a 'dilemma' I'm actually going into hospital this afternoon as I'm getting an operation first thing tomorrow morning.... I'll be in until Thursday at least..... And I was hoping my H.P.S would have arrived before now so I could have got everything squared away.....

I was wondering If any of you vets out there could tell if If it would be alright If I put my Girls into total darkness from now untill I get home maybe on Thursday evening?

They have already been on 12/12 under the envirolite for the past 3 days now.... would putting them in total darkness for a few days fuck them up? or hermie them?

I really don't know what to do.... I can't leave them under the envirolite as (a) they are getting too big for it! and (b) My father in Law will be over to let the dog out whilst I'm in hospital and he might hear the fan!

SHIT!

Hi Guys!

Well I'm back home now... and I'm on the road to becoming fit and well again!

Waaaw! that stuff they give you to knock you out into dream land is F**king amazing! :stoned:.... I had a concoction of drugs pumping through my system including ketamine, propofol (the shit that killed Micky J) snd some other stuff beginning with R.... wawaweewa!

So I left my girls in total darkness whilst I was away and now I've got them back on 12/12....I sure hope this doesnt hermie them...

My HPS still hasnt arrived! although I did get an email from the company telling me It should arrive within the next 2-3 days!

hope you're ok...i have left my flowering plants in the dark for five days with no problems.

Hey Guys!

Well it's time for an update I think!

So my 150w HPS finally arrived! 12 days after ordering and a lot of stress and hassle for me as I thought It was never going to arrive!

I got to work right away and got my 'BUD' box up and running.... I managed to sort out all the kinks and I'm pretty pleased with it!

The heat from the 150w hps was not too intense but to counter any heat issues I've got a small oscillating fan blowing over the tops of the girls and and I invested in another £15 bathroom fan from B&Q which does the job of an inline fan admirably!

(blowing in cool air from the attic for 15mins every half hour)

Temps are sitting at 25 celcius...:thumbsup:

To counter any light leakage I've got a german army poncho hung up to make a good seal and It is totally lightproof.... Its a shame I couldnt get something more reflective and less...well...green...but hey I'm on a budget and it does the job well.

here are some pics:












My girls are looking well... a little bit more stretched than I would like but hey...its my first time...

So I was going to re-pot the girls but I wasnt sure of the stress this would create so instead I have cut the bottom away from my homemade (water bottle wrapped in foil) pots and doubled them up on one and placed the other into an ice cread tub..... kinda hard to describe but a picture says a thousand words.....

The only other tweak I have made to my set up is that i've now got a sheet of perspex in my veg box so I can get my new girl (G13 pineapple express) closer to the light.... I realise I accidently deleted the pics I had up of my veg box...so i'll get some more up for anyone who is interested as a.s.a.p.

As always any advice and comments are always welcome!

Cheers!

do i spy the value argos fan ?

[monny10]

Both fans are from B&Q my good man...... the clip fan was £3.88...bought it last Autumn.... they sell off all thier summer stock really cheap....

And the other charming character you see is a marley B&Q bathroom extractor fan...£15....smashing!

[monny10]

Ahhh shit!

The fuckin envirolite in my Veg Box has blown!

Fuck! I've only had it like 6 weeks or so....is that normal?

I'll bet those cunts at Basement Lighting.com have sent me a used one! after all the shit I had to go through with them! Pricks!

I'll now have to go buy another one! damn....

plants are looking good....sounds like u got a real shitty light supplier...i get my seeds from over the pond but my lights are from the states...u need to do a little research and find a reputable light dealer....other than ur bullshit u have to put up with grow looks good

[fleetspop]

i would also wrap that closet with mylar....it makes a big difference for ur lower buds....i tried just white walls and it doesnt work as well...u should also try to center those lights or ul get some plants leaning over like they been drinking tequila:yippee:
