Hey bro, good to see a local on here. I'm from palmy by the way.
I just had the lights lying around (my old man's a sparky), so I wouldn't know the exact type, but it's 2 x 5foot fluorescent tubes at 58w each.
If I was buying a setup, I'd get slightly shorter ones so that they'd fit in my closet better. This looks cool (not that I could afford it): http://sog.shopau.biz/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=30&products_id=1443
By the way, you'll want to keep people out of the room with the closet as much as possible later in the grow, and keep it aired out pretty well. I've just got it in my room in my flat, and a fan out the window gets rid of the smell completely in about half an hour. That's with my makeshift carbon filter from page 1 running constantly too.
If you got any other questions, go hard, I'll do my best to answer them from a newbie perspective. For what it's worth.

Yea dude, i thought the same thing but they came thru no problem. I ordered from attitude, removed from original packaging, and got the t shirt they offer for added stealth (only cost 5 buck extra or somethin). Not a single problem. I looked into it, and worst customs can do is crush them up then send them on to you, you can't get in trouble for receiving seeds in nz.
Everyone always says you shouldn't send seeds to your grow address. Which I understand and sort of agree with. If they get found, you wont recieve them and shouldnt grow at that address. If they do get to you, you are safe. I had mine sent straight to me. But don't worry about that, it's extremely unlikely. I emailed attitude before i ordered and they said 98% of NZ orders get delivered with no problems.

That lens attached to the 5mp camera on my cell phone. I can actually get a lot closer pictures than that if you look back through my journal

At first glance, I would say no. But, I do a diligent search for clear trichomes before I cut. If I find even a 5% clear, I usually wont cut. There are exceptions though.
Note: I grow medicine, primarily for pain and cancer patients. To that end I aim for around 10% amber thrichomes. Some will say that allowing THC to degrade to CBD is neglectful or flat out wrong. Research into the cannabinoids which are our collective prize will show the different rolls each play in constituting the medicine. For cancer prevention, cancer cell death, and neurogenic pain relief, CBD must be more abundant than early-cut, or just ripe buds. All the science aside, the bottom line is I let them go longer than most to allow some THC (cloudy trichomes) to degrade into CBD (amber trichomes).
Keep in mind, an extra week wont kill them, it just gnaws on the patients.

Cheers for the reply duder. With all due respect, i'm probably still gonna cut it down on sunday. This is largely due to the fact that I've got an inspection from the landlord on tuesday, so I need to cut the smell down as much as possible. But also, that I prefer a heady high over an intense couch lock (within reason)

Alrighty!
Harvest phase 1 is done, my Strawberry Blue is now in many pieces
It really was a learning curve, and I've got no idea if i've trimmed enough etc + many other things.
Hopefully it's about right. I've got a nice sugary bag of trim to hash up too, so lookin forward to a bit more learning there in a week or 2.
As always, feedback encouraged

A lot of places where you get diving tanks etc refilled and just general gas companies do dry ice. I know BOC does. But mainly in large quantities. I think your best bet would be a party hire place

Haven't tried any yet, trying to wait until they're dried naturally, as hard as the wait is. Will be sure to let you know how it performs
Cheers for the support!! And of course to you as well chb.Now just waiting on my THC Bomb, which I'd say is 2 or 3 weeks away, but I'm anticipating a smaller yield off of that one (although not as small as I was anticipating about a month ago. Progress is beautiful.)

You've done a really good job man especially with that light set up. What are those closet dimensions, and did you happen to measure how wide your bomb got? Also, I've heard bomb doesn't stink up too bad is that so? If you can't tell Ive just made an order lol 
although that SB looks really great.
