BillMonroe Dank smells already permeate the room in week 2/3. One plant has quite pronounced variegation in the leaf I'm not gonna update the veg weekly, I don't even keep track of the weeks. I can't help wonder if the smell is due to the biobizz seaweed foliar product... never really had such reekers in veg ========= Veg light: 2700K LED Flower light: ???

BillMonroe Plant 1 and 2 are like clones! Righteous smells... Been spraying them with alg-a-mic and added that shit to the root zone last watering. Sometimes (actually, all the time) I wonder if these things really do anything. Some of these days I'll have to do a side-by-side for these root stimulants and foliar things. Pics are from day 1 of week 4.. growth is exploding now

Grow Questions

BillMonroestarted grow question 6y ago
Whats up everybody! I'm interested in your favorite automatic indoor watering system. I want something that can do top watering drain-to-waste in not too long of a time span - no slow continuous drips (no blumat etc). Any ideas welcome, prefer DIY! Even water distribution is key

I have no experience with auto watering system BillMonroe but I can give info on what I would do if I wanted to set up something like that. I would get a reservoir of some sort let say 5 gallon bucket for this example. Get a submersible water pump, a timer to set when pump to water, some 9-inch halo water ring, some t fittings, and Hydro Flow Barbed Ball Valves. Put Hydro Flow Barbed Ball Valves between Halo ring and t fittings to control water flow so you can even out watering to each container.

BillMonroe Unreal smells! These plants are about 2 months old. Going to start flowering next week. Again I am seeing lots of pistils emerging from buds. These zambeze plants are ready to explode. Yes they are that freaking huge in 5L pots with peat. Amazing what this plant can do. A lot happened ... a CMH fixture fell on them and also a heavy oscillating fan. You wouldn't be able to tell from the pictures though. Good luck everybody

BillMonroe It's about week 6 I guess, I don't know. Pheno 1: 2 short ones with great smelling medium sized buds. Fast Pheno 2: looks like a nice producer, very frosty, nice growth, keeping an eye on this one. Slowest of the bunch but not a slow plant by any means Pheno 3: woah, THC bomb! The frostiest plant in the house. Also seems like a fast one Great smells Quite excited for these awesome plants from Zambeza! Catch you before harvest time for some nicer pictures
