thats one of the great things about posting up details about what one does in a thread. you always get lots of good tips and feedback. there is always some thing more to learn. at least until you are dead anyway. can't learn much after that :)

here's a update from today

The big devil that had transplanting shock is fine now thank god.
Repotted the last big devil today so it's all systems go :jump:

I also put copper wire around the bottom of the girls for max protection against the slug's ;)

PH'd the stream water it's quite high at 8.0 but no probs ive taken the PH down to 6.5 ...will need to keep doing this tho which sucks....... it's two trips to the stream every time they need water...so the quicker i get the rain catcher finished the better :)

anyway here's the pic's

this is the big devil that looked ill yesterday

the girl's have had a reaction to the new soil and the new soil was flushed as well ..maybe too strong for them at the moment ...

they look good to me, even if it's a bit hot now, they will deal with it and things will cool down fast the next few waterings or rain days i think. the sooner you kook up the wick system and water collector the better though. those pots can dry out fast once the plants get bigger. i'm very curious to see your solution for auto watering. i kinda understand what you want to do, but seeing it will make things clearer i hope.

peace and puffs

I can't believe I didn't find your thread earlier mate. This is the coolest shit. Very exciting indeed. Our grows are kind of similar, but not, if you know what I mean. Our skill level and autos and pots and such...... Poor deer though..... I wish you the best of luck. Have learnt alot in here.

:lurk:

hi gaiusmarius i hope it dosen't stunt them with the hot soil ...i think i will need to water them every 3-4 day's with this warm weather we are having at the moment oh and am re-thinking my water collector system i think the wick's will dry before they get to the capillary matting so im thinking of putting it closer to the pen ...uphill of coarse .. will do this next time am down :biggrin:

hi iron lungs i thought about electrifing it as well but that means carring car batteries ...too heavy for me i think ...i also thought about digging pits too lol

hi bom

yes i'll test this method so you can make your mind up if you want to use it or not
i was down today to check on them ..some insects have been nibbling on them and i dont like the light green the the fast buds have turned and the big devils look nute burned so all not well at the moment ..

last night it was 6c so the girls wont like that and the big devil that had the transplant stress has decided to have another funny turn ...he must be a rougue plant lol
A sunny 22c today so they've had a good spell of weather and have grown a node so that's good news :).....will post pics later

I had a big devil outside and it made not even a joint, but the indoor girls are doing great. looks like youve got better weather conditions then I had though, yours already look better than my single outdoor big devil did when she finished.
