Thanks for dropping by and the kind words. I'm really excited to see what she does in flower now, just need to avoid stressing her out...

Picture perfect health

Day 48

Howdy everyone, apologies for the gap in updates, I've been having a bit of a post related nightmare and was hoping for it all to blow over before posting again. But Royal Mail are conspiring against me, so here goes my tale of woe (I'm such a drama queen!)

My HS1 had a fault last weekend, it seems I'd missed an email about preventing this because of my stupid junk mail filters. GN were brilliant and had a new unit to me 36 hours after I let them know. Problem was I put the power cable in the return package (which in hindsight was really stupid of me) and they didn't put one in the new one. GN were super helpful again and put a lead in the post for me that day, but now, 4 days later, the lead appears to be lost in the post. Huge sigh...

I'm using a four small cfl's to keep her alive, but it's a week now since she had proper light and I'm getting worried this is just the time she needs huge amounts of light to promote buds. On the upside though she's still fairly healthy looking!

Cheers man, it wouldn't be any fun without a few setbacks eh?

Hah, I feel much better for knowing that, cheers! If the lead emerges from the black hole that is Royal Mail soon I'm hoping it wont make too much difference...

Sorry to read about your troubles dude, she looks great even though she hasnt had her HS1 in a week. Everything will be fine so not to worry.

Thanks man, it's a little sad having a HS1 sat right next to an underpowered tent, but I'm not letting it bother me. She's still a monster compared to my last grow and even if this problem reduces what I get from her it'll be alright. It's just for my use and I don't exactly plough through it.

This will mean I have to do another grow straight away though, obviously I need to see what this set up can do without problems...

Day 52

THE CABLE HAS ARRIVED! Sorry for shouting, but we are back up and running properly after a week and a half. Happy Days!

Once the photo uploader starts being more helpful (everything seems rather slow today, maybe VPN issues at my end) I'll post a few photos of progress.

Beyond some yellowing to two fan leaves and a small burn from a CFL bulb she seems unharmed by the ordeal.

edit: have a photo
