Geez man their growing fast:thumbsup: Have you planed on lst or any other methods? They sure look healthy for sure.

:weedpoke:

Il be watching:rasta:

I've used a heap of different methods before but i think ill just top them once they get a bit bigger and see how they go..
Im going to let them get quite big before i turn them too :thumbsup:

Going to be big plants.. Last grow i had around double the plants using a SOG technique but this time its going to be half the plants twice the size

Thanks heaps for the support guys it really means alot to get compliments from other growers

p.s the walls are getting mylar'd today and the floor too, got a 12" carbon filter, fan and silence getting installed today so that should help..
They are really small now but smell quite alot already! Got my hopes up!!

Hey mate,
Yeah just a mix of the perlite and vermiculite is all im using
I believe i started late january..

It makes things very easy due to the face that they don't actually store nutrients in the medium so when flushed properly it goes entirely back to neutral and is very similar to using a hydro setup because you have so much more control in what the plant actually takes in.

I generally water the plants when i notice that they are quite lighter its a great indicator of how much water (nutrients) is still being held.

I have a mate that waters them every day but i find that to be a bit over kill but he doesnt seem to have any large issues doing this due to the good aeration from the medium.
(I have told him of the risks of mold and behold some mold reared its head)
Some just can't be warned lol

Thanks guys for stopping by and i will be posting some more pics this arvo as i have installed a 12" Carbon filter, fan and silence ducting into the roof cavity and the walls and floors are now covered in mylar to help reflect some light to under the leaves and the sides :thumbsup:

hey I am goign to try a few in just perlite and vermiculite as i just started one and it is taking off... however i started it in a little cup..... now I am tryign to figure out how the hell to transplant it... in the future should i start the seed in a larger container so i do not have to transplant as many times?

Hey mate,
Just give it a little while and when your looking to transplant let it dry out and transfer like you would with soil

MAKE SURE when you pot it push the material down well (compress it) if not the medium will not be strong or stable enough to support a larger plant, i learnt the hard way last grow
Just not too hard or you will damage the roots :thumbsup:
