Thanks bud, I still have a pure sativa in the outside greenhouse box along with some other girls.
Regarding stronger or better lighting, I plan to use those big CFLs of 84watt each as the HPS system draws too much power.
Would it be better to go with LED in terms of energy saving?
Yes, very much so.

Looks like your plants are 100s may bru:). Post previous you said you thought you had a N def, lowers will yellow when they are not getting enough light and with cfl the penetration will be a lot less than with hid lighting so I wouldn't stress too much (I saw some yellowing tips on leaves so I wouldn't be throwing more nutes at them if it was me).
Get on the LEDs if you cannot get access to hid's. My friend was growing with a 400hps down in Cape Town so they are available. I will be in Cape Town for Xmas, can't wait!!! Fukkin love the place. Happy growing.

Lots of people sing Capetown's praises. Why is it such a great place?

Mediterranean climate. Great social scene, loads of bars and restaurants, wineries not too far away. The beaches aren't too shabby either. It's gorgeous and the Mountain just sets it off. The6 also have a nice breeze there (Cape Doctor I think it's called) so it never feels like you have to lie with your face on a cold tiled floor (I have done that on the East of SA). You don't quite get that angst that you do walking around in Johannesburg.:)
Oh. And did I mention the vast quantity of available members of the opposite sex there are. Fuk me it's a silly ratio. There is a large gay scene I believe if thats your scene.
I am sure Potency87 could add to it.
Did I mention the fanny....oh yes. I see I did:)

If your looking for lighting I know Gavita's will be landing in SA in the next couple of months and should be hitting the hydro shops around them
Shit. I got lighting that would be a whole new world to them if they think Gavita DE is all that, lol

Thanks bud, yeah I also thought it was the cfl's but when I added a bit more N, she picked up nicely in colour and growth.

Nice one bud, how much do they go for where you live? I wounder what the S.A price will be as things always sky rockets as if the economy is a part of NASA lol.

Man eaters?
Oh...just to be clear... We have great whites in Falsbay and you will also find on the west coast from Camps bay up to Melkbos area. You can also expect to see them towards Mosselbay all the way up to Durban east coast.
it is actually a blessing to live here in Falsebay as we get to see so many marine life (Sharks, Dolphins, Whales etc) breaching out of the water. Sometimes Im high af and trip on these beauties from the shore.

I went shark diving up in Gansbaai. Love those creatures....just not too up close lol.
Lol haha yeah its great hey, you should come do some shark cage diving here in the bay. Massive beautiful whites... Im not into shark cage diving though, just thought I'd mention it. I love what Cape Town has to offer as enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, swimming etc
There are even a few gorilla grows in the mountains but I personally didnt come across these fields as they were told to me by a Rasta friend. Hence the hiking hobby lol

The jury is still out on the cage diving for me. While I enjoyed it it was all very much set up. Sharks following bait trails and then chasing a tuna head into a cage. It was a fantastic experience seeing this massive shark swimming off into the depths though I admit. I spoke to a few different folk down there and while I don't trully believe the interaction with humans makes them want to eat us more I would much rather see one naturally (and preferably while I was in a boat:))
We always goe hiking and exploring when we are down. Generally a trip up the garden route towards the east and then up to visit my wifes folks. My wife is keen to move back to SA so our kids can experience it full time; but she is also torn between that and the life we have here.
