S12's first ever grow log! ~~

[noodlesqld]

shit didnt see those older pics, i was looking at the day thirty five pics yours are much bigger than mine

[noodlesqld]

here are the pics of my 2 week old plant well nearly 3 weeks with weird leaves as u can see the leaves have stuck together instead of forming individual "fingers" they have stayed together.

[s12fever]

i just noicticed the cfl's you are using i would advise against those as i have looked around at these lights and i found those phillips ones to be not that good i will show u a pic of my plants tommorow under 4 cfl;s totaling 350 watts i noticed you are in australia and so am I (can tell by the avitar, nice torana =P)
i found some good cfl's at bunnings and the warehouse supprisingly, look for ones witha rating of 6500K and a high luminious efficentcy. my plants seem to be about twice as big as yours and mine are only 18 days old, but this is my fourth or fifth time using cfl's and oh the mistakes i have made not one plant made it to flower yet =(, I aint nokking your grow thou for a first time they are looking great. i will post pics tommorow for your veiwing pleasure....lol peace

thanks, but i bought those with the last money i had, lol must sound like a lil girl saving for lolly money or something, but yea, na im a poor cunt so those were all i could afford...didnt realise the 2 tornado ones were actually warm white, but oh well apparently they work alright. Shouldnt really matter anyway, since they're only gonna be on them for another week or so then planted outdoors.

Hard to tell from that small pic,but its either an rx2 or r100, not an rx3 or torana coz its too small na not from aussie, from NZ mate I drive an s12 silvia myself...hence the name...so anyway, you could prob imagine the shit weather im having down here at the mo.

[s12fever]

oooh yes they're lookign very nice!

[noodlesqld]

it definelty is a torana mate im not to sure of the model Ls i think, i know what ya mean about being broke i recently got the sack so i am on the dole now.
the lights i got from the warehouse are the edapt brand and they work supprisingly well and are cheap.

I am sure the ones you have will work also, i only made the comment as i had looked at those and decided not to buy them as the cheaper ones from bunnings and the warehouse have better lumins and light spectrum.

if you are in NZ, how are they gunna go outside being winter now and all, i am waiting till xmas to put some outside or at least the end of september.

check to find out what your sunrise/sunset times are as at the moment here in QLD the night is currently 15 mins longer than the day which is not good for veg growth, tho they will grow i have found that if u plant on or just before xmas u can get them to 6-7ft outside before they start to bud in april-may.

The conditions are likely to be diffrent where u are so i guess its trial and error but i am sure u will get there.

another good tip that i got of this old bloke here in Aus is use heshian bags and fill them up with mushroom compost and lay them on the ground where u want to grow cut hole in the top of the bag and place your plants, do u get what i mean??. after they get to about a foot tall use 1 tspoon if urea (46% N) to 2 litres of water and then once a fortnight use aquasol as per directions on the pack.

i have used these instructions to grow my outdoors for years and have never seen anything better 7ft plants with buds as long as your arm and about as round as you wrist when dry fucking awsome

[s12fever]

Hmmm...i dunno aye, i only just got back from digging aroudn at the place i was gonna plant them, and found out it wont work! There's an inch or so of soft dirt and the rest is hard clay so it wont grow there....gonna have to find another spot...fast!
It is cold i know, and i wanted to plant after 1st september...really, i did! but i'm just too impatient... if they don't grow, it's no biggie...seeds were free anyway. If they do, bonus christmas prezzie.

Lolto be honest i don't know shit about holdens - i grew up in sydney, & we used to have a bunch of them...they always fucked us over so i never really liked them - thats my excuse anyway

How old ru mate?

[noodlesqld]

ok yeah holdens do suck (but it is a torana lol) and you drive what i want. NISSANS rule, i want a 2000 model 200sx.

im 26.

there are soil conditioners that you can get the will break up the clay soil but u will probibly need to plant a while after puting that in the soil. what i said about the compost and hesian bag will help you out a lot.

where i used to live was right in the ocean and the soil was shit for growing so thats why i started using the old blokes suggestion of the hessian bag.

if u can get any good quality soil and fill the bag and lay it down flat try to get enough soil to make the bag about a 30-40 cm thick when laying down,

this is what i would do i would get the soil condidtioner for the clay soil dig it in then level the soil back over the top lay the hessian bag over the top of that hole then plant into the bag after a while the roots will start groing down throught the bag (as it will break down naturaly) by this time the soil conditioners have worked there majic the roots whil have started to grown down into this soil. or you could dig out about a foot of dirt add the conditioners then replace the dirt you dug out with good quality soil then lay the bag down on top of that. either way it should work out ok

either way mate if u plant september first you will only have leaf and tip for xmas as it will be the middle of summer. as i said i put mine in at xmas that way you have to wait about 4 months for bud.

have you seen the OZstoners web site you might get a lil more info there as they know what the conditions are like south of the equator try this out.

i hate waiting for my crop every year so that is why i have decided to grow three or four crops a year indoors as well as my crop outside makes much more sense and i just love watching them grow.

There are also alot of those gorse bushes (the really sharp prickly bushes with yellow flowers) around that area and next to where i wanna grow... their roots are thick as hell and hard to break, so i'll prob try find another place to grow...

[noodlesqld]

yeah that might be a good idea lol

[s12fever]

Hmm....i had a thought before...a pretty basic one lol...
I could just put them into big pots or buckets and hide them well... Would that work with a big sized pot? i dont c why not...
