    ordering seeds?

    I order from Sannies, never once had a problem. They are packaged discreetly and always arrive on time. His prices are hard to beat.

    My grows

    Thanks Rosebud! Thanks to the advice you guys gave me before the plants are really happy. The two on the left are really giving off a nice fruity odour, the sativa is almost reminicient of pineapple. The one on the left was topped during veg, it produced two massive colas - I left the other...

    My grows

    Guys Thought it's high time for an update. I ended up with only 4 girls. 1 El Monstre, 1 Anesthesia and two Swazi sativas. I took clones from them and they are doing well. Some pics of the flowering girls:

    MJ versus Tobacco

    I totally agree - my experience as well. I have gone for years without lighting up, and then when I get my hands on some good bud I will have a smoke. It's freaky that you guys in the US have these drug tests. In South Africa employers have not thought of that yet, and I'm very glad. As for...

    on a week vacation away from plants

    I can echo that - they work very well, will only water the soil when it's dry - unlike any normal drip watering system. Can be attached to a soda bottle, or a normal tank for gravity feed or even to your faucet.

    DIY inserts for a aeroponic cloner

    @THG Yeah, that sounds good. I have hydroton, I'm a soil grower though - but as you say I could pop the net pot in the ground as well. But I think I might have found a solution - don't know if you get it in the same form in the states but over here we get a thin high-density foam...

    MJ versus Tobacco

    Any burning plant matter will not be good to inhale as it affects the cilia of your lungs - but there is no proven link between MJ and lung cancer. As for the addiction part - not in the same way as you get addicted to alcohol or tobacco but probably in the same way you get addicted to junk food.

    DIY inserts for a aeroponic cloner

    @THG I was planning to use small net pots, so the hole is going to be 5cm in diameter - +/- 2" Yeah, the hole in the pool noodle will pose a problem. I believe some don't have the hole, so I'll go hunting. Sill seal also sounds like a great solution. 1" holes, hmmm. Makes a lot more sense...

    DIY inserts for a aeroponic cloner

    Great stuff - thanks guys! Love the whole DIY angle, growing is seriously addictive. As I understand it it also needs to be light-proof? Another suggestion I saw on the net was to use a "pool noodle" (for lack of knowing what the hell to call it!) - can cut quite a lot of inserts out of that!

    Not a bad idea - problem is my wet suit is quite new!

    DIY inserts for a aeroponic cloner

    Hey, I am making my own aeroponic cloner. Got everything I need but for one item - the neoprene inserts. I really would have just bought some but you don't get them in South Africa, neoprene sheeting is bloody expensive. Ordering from the US/Europe takes too long with shipping - so I want to...

    Hamster Lewis' "Next stop Dankville" Journal

    Good prices! I love the fact that you can pop them into a spare room and that they are unobtrusive (lol, kind-of) Quick question, you vent out of your tent, how do you vent your room or do you just leave the door open?

    Blumat Tropf auto-watering system

    Hey Have you guys seen the Blumat Tropf automatic watering system? hXXp://www.blumat.at/automatic-watering-system.php I ordered the starter kit a while ago and gave it a bash. No moving parts. The probes detect the level of moisture and will only water when the medium is dry. Normal gravity...

    My grows

    Switched veg from the CFL's to a 400W metal halide today, parabolic bird wing reflector. Bumped the circulating fans up a notch, can only see 1 degree celcius above the ave temp of the CFL's More lumens than the CFL's for the same about of electricity.

    Using cfls, need help..

    Just a note about CFL's from a noob: my first grow was done using only CFL's - I used big 85W 5100 LM bulbs. Although I got a nice yield that was very smokeable, the buds were very loose and airy. Initially I decided to go with CFL's as I thought heat would be less of an issue with them, but I...

    Planning on Growing Auto's

    Damn, that's quite a yield. Which strain? I've only tried Lowryders and the yield was very little. Good smoke though.
