#1 Frosty Flowers

#3 Like a school group photo, the tall ones at the back.

#2 Haze for Dayz.

@StickyD420 thanks man! Second grow for me! Never had such deep interest in something

Still haven't gotten round to the farm. This weekend seems clear of cold fronts. Got a really smelly GTH male though. Being transplanted tomorrow and going into 12/12.

Last harvest 3 months ago, smells great and looks great too.

I'm nearing the end of my 2nd grow with these lights and buds are still coming out rock hard. I'm guessing fluffy nugs would be a possible way of telling the LEDs are fading without an apogee?

Grams per watt. That's much easier than sqm as everybody packs their sgm differently. If you have a 1.5x1.5 tent, but only running one plant... You gonna have a shit output. But if you use grams per watt on that one plant, you will be rather surprised. Maybe if I was able to control the RH better I would dry for longer... But still not longer than 7 days.

At this point you the hitting hight numbers, most probable we need suggestions from you [emoji6], just pulling your leg bro, jealousy dies that [emoji38] Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

If things go as smooth as your last run... You should get close to 1kg. I do feel your claim of 700g under the 300w is a bit hectic. At what point do you weigh your harvest? Im trying to hit 1.5g a w and that's proving excruciating lol

Agree with the bark(acidic) and ''nursery potting soil'' comments. Most ''store bought'' mixes are not ideal for cannabis-some are even lethal. Would suggest you look at aerating the mix as well by adding some perlite, it will also aid with drainage. Also with that size bag, go easy on the watering. Those size bags will take long to dry out, you risk the seedlings damping off. Those size seedlings need about 250ml every 3rd day only and no nutes untill about 3 weeks old.

Not even 'ultimate' grow, just 'a' grow. Let's get the basics down first. Look for cannabis specific soils such as Freedom Farms Classic, Just Cannabis and Living Organics. Or when you notice the price of organic nutrients, you may decide to go coco and use hydroponic nutrients. If I had to make a guess the Swazi is probably photo. I am not aware of an auto swazi.

Your soil looks like it contains lot's of bark etc which cannabis doesn't like so much in my experience. What soil are you using?

Hello Zol, I use the same thermosat my friend. nice work with the wiring. I like the enclosure and the plugs. Do you plug the heater into one and your extractor into the other one? I added a relay switch into the mix so that when the heater is off, my extractor sucks at full speed and when the heater is in; the fan kicks down to low speed. I have a panel heater and an HIT 150 fan. The humidity never climbs over 60% and my temp never dips below 21C. What else have you got up your sleeve?

Busy doing that at the moment. FCUK! Gonna win this one.

Firstly, I apologize for the picture quality, its zoomed and not meant for this purpose or taken specifically. I wanted to show the light praise of the leaves after the tea I make up. Microbes and Enzymes

Yummy looking nugs bru

Hope I can still enter... Plant power

Agreed. Those leaves look hard, could be N to as well. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

So I see Futurama have Newport Butane, I purchased and got delivery today. I reached out to Checkers and they have stores with stock and the stores without stock will be receiving stock. So if anyone needs, there are options.

Fully understandable, and agree with you. The very best dry process is slow at 18deg, and your nipples must pierce through your shirt, that's how cold it must be in there, and gradually bringing your Humidity down from 65 to 55 then 50, then jar. You want all the plants juices to slowly escape for the best smoke.

improved grow skill could account for not seeing any fade. diodes are rated with a 10000 h lifetime or 20000 i think so you are more likely to upgrade your lights before they become an issue

They do also Gram/Watt/Plant on growdiaries.com not sure what that is good for Gram/watt is nice to see your lamps efficiency Gram/sqm shows a bit how good you are

Nah, actually not 14 days at 18deg, 60H is perfect, low and slow. I've never had a single issue with my goods, and use the humidity packs after the burping. My process stems from many others preferred way.

I'm hoping for 1kg dry, Was about 600 to 700g dry after hanging for 14 days to dry, weighing, then jar to cure. Realistically its probably just over 600g as I had smoked some while drying and added that to the total without an actual count first. I'll be more specific and detailed and have logs of everything I can possibly think of on my now run. I want to be fair and precise, and not have any doubts at all. Shout if you have any suggestions to do please regards logs or pictures?

@Prom I know one should not envy, but god damn man you're doing some crazy stuff here!! I think a bunch of us will be acquire some autos for future grows, I know I sure am!

@Ill_Evan and now the police cap too, I'm dying here, whahahahaha

I kinda run out of space ^^ Day 7 Week 7 And I mean the top part hehehe Those Gorillas really enjoy them self without getting disturbed. The End is Near I usually use the tent as my dry tent.. but I think those Gorillas start to prove my point rather well Autos Rock! Hitting 80cm (soil to tip) now.. I think they will reach 100 till harvest. I might have to move the cam to the other side.. Fan and tripod start to collide. Tomorrow I post the week movie..

Very true, the naked eye would not pick up any differences over a long period of time, possibly a cellphone app for Lux as a reference only at the start at a given height, even though not something you can do calculations or bet your life on, it would show the degradation over a set time.

Looking good bro... But it also looks like your medium needs better drainage. If you're planning to transplant, I would buy some Perlite and mix it in a 50/50 or 40/60 of perlite/medium... It will help aerate your medium to increase oxygen in the root zone and also help with drainage by creating air pockets, also helping the roots to develop by seeking out oxygen rich spots. I feel that a medium with majority coco packed down can be quite dense. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Woop woop it's da police

Previous grow in cupboard

My Veg tent has Vero29 cobs running at 68v each - so 275w total Combined with a blue supplement from HLG. Also have my Anthelions on there but unfortunately they only used when I flower in this tent.

Finally getting around to these from the 2018 season. Going for F2's, and just to see how they fare.

Thanks man. For the moment I've just wired it for heating or cooling. Great system you got going there. I'll guess I'll just see what levels I'm getting and adjust from there.. Still a newbie here with alot to learn lol, so not sure how much I'd have to adjust etc as I go along.. Just planning on keeping it simple as possible to start and go from there

Ethanol is not my friend @PsyCLown - it is because ethanol kills cells. BHO has been my passion for 12 years now and I use it as a serious medicine for my lungs. It is also the smartest way to manufacture all medical edibles. After seeing the cannibinoid and turpene counts in sungrown organic sativa, compared to other options - I am a convert. Been using heat to offgas extractions for yonks. My best tool is a coffee mug warmer that works on 12V 5A juice. Got it on Takealot. Set it on 40C and leave it for a few hrs. That is after some cycling in the vacc chamber, but it is fine tuning to get there quickly. Then there is decarboxilation to consider as temperature is the cuase of the breaking of the hydroxile bond, if you want to have the best thc effect. So time and low warmth is the safest route for meds. Your coffee machine will push 105C tops and is ideal for what you want to start experimenting with. Let us know how you went. For me at present is to play with low temps (40C) and lots of vaccuum. Seems to allow the best oil colour if already dewinterised.

My thing is, I wish there were a way for me / us to easily test this ourselves though. We're simply going based on what others have said. I am not saying its wrong or not possible, just wish we could verify this ourselves. I imagine one would need to send some medium off to a lab to be tested. Not too sure.

Thanks bud, I'll give that a try. Having a beer break for now.

Should perform fine. Must just be wary of fade in a year or two and be able to pick up on it if it does happen. Hard to do without an Apogee or something

Are they auto strains or photo?... Also, I would suggest to mix in some Perlite if you plan on using the same type of medium for your next grow Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

I think @Prom and I, other than Autos, have similar problems, if you can call them that. He is making moves with the grams per watts too wow, I mean look at that and soil too like me too. Hmmm

Thanks for that, I turned it out a bit after taking the photo. Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

Well, if you have taken time to worked it out, I guess so... Was 8 plants, around 80g for 6x and then 2 close to 100 and 120g. Using special tea I make up I even rushed them to flower and this time I'm going flat out.

I saw these lights on a local site while browsing for an upgrade for my 1.2 x 1.2 space. I am still new to the intricacies of LED/QB lighting and the qualities associated with diodes and drivers. The set up looks real functional and also encompasses the entire grow cycle requirements for spectrum. @StickyD420 How would you rate the efficiency, effectiveness and quality?? Since joining the forum there seems to be consensus that GrowOpz has some of the meanest lighting at competitive prices while also offering trust and honesty, which seems to be lacking in the sale of lighting to noobs... like myself Happy that I joined

Hi and welcome FF Classic and FF F1 both need to be fed nutrients, but Classic can go a few weeks for veg as you said. Tbh from the readings I have done it seems that microbes doesn't do well or die off when using synthetic nutes and espesially when in flower and EC running high, but also read that if you keep EC just at about 1 it can be done, I'm also new to living organic soils.

Yo man! I am busy selecting plants to take forward to the next flower round and I have some that won't fit my space. If you're keen then they are yours... I'm also in midrand area. Hit me up with a PM if you're interested

Can I enter a vegging plant?

Agreed, it definitely is the wrong unit to measure in... But it is still a great indicator as to how intense your lighting is... One thing par and lumens have in common is the further away from the light source you go, the lower your reading becomes. And I really doubt you will be hitting high par, with a low comparison lux reading. Just saying it's an indicator

That’s awesome! Super buds, size and the color...wow!!
