Hi all, back again after some tinkering.
Last grow harvested 5 plants max 50cm high for 4.8 oz of buds.
Please excuse the poor quality photos.
My current setup.
The plants are cuttings @ 15 days "as cuttings". Getting decent root development after snipping, dipping in clonex and straight into a jiffy pot. 15 days under burple light in my "spacebox". At least this time i know are all female but have to keep an eye out for hermies. These are cuttings from the plant that exhibited the least tendancy to throw male flowers.
Lights in the main tent are 2 commercial COB setups with 2 burple COB's apiece. As well, a DIY COB setup with 2 burples, an 2 warm white COBs. These are the cheap Chinese COBs that run straight off the 240V supply.
Watering is from a tank on a shelf via an Auto-pot Smartvalve. Floor is very level so distributes from the little box with the Smartvalve to tubs the pots sit in. No Batteries Needed!!
Anyhow, as long as the cuttings take off over the next couple of weeks all should be good. Am starting to get into hot weather here so this is a bit experimental. Where i am growing will get to over 40- 45 degrees C in summer.
Dont have capacity or desire to air condition where i have my tent so if things get too hot will shift lights to run at night, or just shut down for a while. Will be interesting to see how humidity holds up with this setup.
Still, it is called "weed" for a reason and is pretty robust. Will See where things go.
Seeyahs!
