Well gents unfortunately I had my first mould problem a week ago but I've learned my lesson and I'm getting straight back on it.

I'll be growing 3 plants in 10l airpots OR 2 plants in 15l airpots TBC.

I'm back in the mud this time. Plant Magic Soil Supreme with Granules, Root Stim, Bio Silicon and Oldtimers Grow and Bloom. I've also got some AN Carboload for later on.

The Blueberry was germinated a couple of weeks ago and has been outside for a couple of weeks. She's a bit leggy but coming on leaps and bounds now she's been bought inside. There's only 1 cutting potted up atm. The other is hardening off and will be planted out tomorrow.

I fired up a 250W MH to help with temps then quickly turned it off again. I forgot how much HID lighting scares me! I'll be sticking with HS1 unless ambient get too cold.

Cheers
 
Thanks chaps. Taking it right back to basics this time. Plants grown well in soil will be much more rewarding than plants grown badly in coco!
 
That ram fan wont last long if you are running it constant I have the exact same one and I am on my 3rd grow using it and it has decreased in power alot also can I ask why you have chopped some of the fan leaves in half?

Oh bugger that's not good news. It's running constantly and is rather noisy!

The plant with the clipped leaves is a rooted cutting. I followed a guide a while ago that suggests clipping the larger leaves to help retain moisture. I've followed this guide a few times and always had decent success so I just carry on.

Thanks for looking in :)
 
Mine usually is on for 18 hours a day and was making more noise in the beginning that decreased as the power decreased, I used it for a month straight at the end of last year and have been using it since early january everyday and the power change was only starting to get noticeable 3 weeks ago, so you should be fine for a couple grows, I have never heard of that but then again I haven't read much about cloning as I have only ever grown autos

Excellent news, the 60x60 diffusers are now available for purchase. I am going to continue to veg for a while under the 60x90 diffuser then swap out diffusers and fire up both lights for flower.

Plants are coming on a treat. I'll get a picture up at the end of the week
 
Quick update. Plants have been under the HS1 for 5 days now. I'll start slowly introducing a feed at 1ml/l of Oldtimer Grow on the next watering.

I'm going to veg for as long as it takes to fill these 3l airpots then pot on to 15l and repeat.

The dodgy looking clone will soon start to pick up once she's got some more roots. She's going into a wardrobe under cfl for cuttings once the others get bigger.
