thanx alot v, loving yours too.

how does the plant flower when its so small ?

how do you keep it small ?

what lights did you use ?

Hey 963

Plants will flower small no probs. A combination of a few well known growing techniques can keep things under tight control, and as long as they produce some cloudy trichs then they did their job. With a bit of experience the only difference between small plants and large ones is measured in weight.
Any questions you have will have been answered somewhere in this journal. Have a read and let me know if anything isn't clear.

Might pay to edit your location details. I revere your town for reasons to do with the oval ball, but sadly it isn't just potheads that come to RIU to learn.

what do you mean edit my location details ?

Well if I was looking for you I think I could narrow it down to a town and a first name already, and that's off 1 post. Nuff said?

im confused but never mind......

I was trying to tell you that police monitor places like this and maybe you just told them your name and where you live, but I guess I'm not so good at being subtle.

awesome work man im try'n the same kinda thing but only in a rubbermaid tub you said you had lights 12/12 from seedlings and many plants in different stages of growth thanks in advance

i dont grow anyway, i used to but my parents found it :/ gd job it was harvest time

Hey v, lend me some of your comic books !! lol

Hey thanks hawaiian.
I like having plants at different sizes because I can give 50% of all the light to the biggest plant and keep another 3 ticking over nicely with the leftovers. I could only get 2 full sized plants in there at a time and that would halve my output.

Hey robby
Just trying to help.

Greets worm. Been a while m8.
I'll dust off my old scanner & see if I can't immortalize some of those cartoons for you.

V12, I am so glad to see you keeping this thread going/growing

I had to take a step back a few months back and now have a new username but you knew me as 'cerebralvibrator'...............both HAWKWIND fans, remember? Apologies for seeming to suddenly vanish but I'm afraid anxiety got the better of me. I hope you are keeping well, I'd like to PM you if you don't mind to explain what happened?

Anyway, just referred a new PC case grower over here for some info as I'm sure you're the man to help him!

ms.

Hey ms
Kind of figured who you were. 336 watts of cfl and a helpful attitude south of Watford was a bit of a giveaway
Didn't want to pipe up and blow your new ID though.
You're always welcome to pm me but there's no need to explain anything. Glad we're good TBH as I really wanted to know what you thought about those biobizz nutes?

Just an update on the current state of play aound here; The growcase is still churning out little wonders of nature every time my stash gets low but after many months of constant use it's beginning to get a bit the worse for wear and needs a full overhaul. I could prolly do it in a day or 2 but I've decided to build a new unit and start over, so I'm down to a couple of NL's and some cuttings. Nothing especially photogenic after the standards I've already set
I figure the pc case thing has proved it's value to me many times over, so the construction will take the shape of a tower case once again, but I've got some killer plans for it.
New for the 2010 model is a 100w HPS/MH/CMH ballast and matching CMH bulb. I'm also going to fit underfloor heating! It's very likely it will be a pentium4 as well
None of your pikey amd shit for my girls
All the parts will be arriving over the next couple of weeks so I'll take some snaps and prolly start a new thread in the new year.
Not sure it will be on here though.

Cheers V12

Can you let me know where/when you start the new thread please? I'd like to follow it.

Your heat shield idea made me decide to do the same in my cab and its brilliant. Thin glass cut to size and bang!... temps drop right down. Defo the way to go in a small case/cabinet grow.

All the best mate.

Ooops.
Sorry guys.
I moved some pics around on photobucket so I could start an album for the new CMH bulb I'm using and forgot that they were linked here. I've restored what I can but I've forgotten which pics go where so there's some gaps I'm having trouble filling in.
By way of apology Here's a couple of the last shots I took before I switched the bulbs last Sunday.
First is a cured nug ready for me to smoke, next up is a pic of the new NL genetics. This is the main cola after 1 week of flowering. Last is a macro shot of some Jack moments before she was cut down.
Sadly the bulb has now been removed and replaced with an Osram Powerball HCI-T 100w, so the case as featured here is no more
Wish me luck with the new kit.
Best wishes from me for xmas & the new year.

Just a quick update. I've been working out the kinks since I took out the cfl's and fitted a cmh in the case. I got a new acrylic sheet today to replace the old one and when I fit that later everything should be done and dusted.
There's a small batch of NL's in residence just now. They've been a bit problematic but again I think I've sorted out enough of the issues to get something worthwhile out of the grow. The signs for the future are very promising judging by what I've seen so far.
Here's a couple of recent pics, the main plant is about 6 weeks into flowering:
