I wasnt going to say anything, I too have done a run with benzine years ago, but that said, I thought I was going to smoke it. Couldn't get rid of the benzine taste. Now when making creams etc, those toxins will absorb through your skin. Benzine at some point, was probably the easiest solvent to get your hands on and is relatively inexpensive. ISO has become so readily available, that you can even buy some off bidorbuy. Jozi has a few places where you can buy over the counter. Last batch I bought was 99.9% pure. I'm now thinking for creams, maybe extracting with coconut butter and then mixed with a base cream, but dilution may be an issue... Any thoughts? Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Many clones later, so I'm flowering out the mother plant. Getting there slowly Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

If they leave me alone and I can legally grow out 12 plants or so at home for personal consumption, I don't really care what happens regarding licensing. @12 plants though, I'd have to grow some outdoor monsters :) Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Could you maybe take a close up of the bug? Is it not some sort of squash bug? Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Something read worthy perhaps "CBD acid is the precursor to the THC acids, and, although CBD is only mildly psychoactive by itself, it may act with THC to modify the psychoactive effect of the THC in a sedative way. CBC is also mildly psychoactive and may interact synergistically with THC to alter the psychoactive effect (Turner et al. 1975). Indeed, CBD may suppress the effect of THC and CBC may potentiate the effect of THC, although this has not yet been proven. All of the reactions along the cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway are enzyme-controlled but are affected by environmental conditions. Conversion of CBD acid to THC acid is the single most important reaction with respect to psychoactivity in the entire pathway and the one about which we know the most." http://www.kindgreenbuds.com/marijuana-grow-guide/cannabis-maturation-and-harvesting/ Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Aah, those won't be standard over the counter white cobs I'm sure. Mine do very well while vegging, running my first flowering cycle under the LEDs, less than 2 weeks in, so will keep you posted. With any luck I'll have some potm competition worthy buds :) Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

What COB were you using? Plain white? IMHO, HID is perhaps still the way to go from a tried and tested perspective. I have a few 400w HID's, only issue is the heat and the power bill,which is why I've been dabbling with LEDs. Currently flowering a C99 out under 400W COB full spectrum (they claim) LEDs. I bought the chips on ebay and built the lights myself. My experience with plain hardware store bought 50W LED was not great. Very stretchy plants, whereas the full spectrum plants look much better.

I've been too lazy to respond to this statement, but here it goes. In my elementary knowledge of light spectrums, my understanding is that the reason for the brightness of the 'white' LED lights we can buy from any hardware store, is that the light spectrums invisible to our eyes have been removed and only visible spectrums remain. To me this means that your ie 50W white LED produces 50w of visible light (for humans) With that being said, plants can't see green light, we can't see UV or IR per se. The plants do however react under UV. Would the shortage of the missing light spectrums not have a negative impact on growth? Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

There's a specific spectrum of light they can't see. I'll probably import Some LEDs so I know they're in the right spectrum. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Right chaps, sitting here thinking... If green light is invisible to plants, could I install a green LED strip in my flowering tent for "night time visits?" Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

In place and hanging. Now that I have a workaround for loadshedding, watch me not get loadshedded Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

400W 220v Mains, 12v Backup for load shedding. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Next step is to have an idea what's going on with the Temps and humidity... Decided ti place the LCD inside the tent for the interim, so I'm not connecting the back light. Once my new arduino boards arrive, I'll work on automated watering. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

New tent is assembled and arduino connected. It wasn't staying on, high and low swapped around. Never thought I'd need to fetch my pc to troubleshoot my lighting :) Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

I see what you did there :) :) Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Some leaves in the stem Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

You may have some challenges then due to the long nights and shortened days. I haven't tried revegfing outdoors, it gets too cold here in winter for that. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Just keep some leaves, they're quite resilient. Once you flip back to 18/0 it will revert. Get ready for some erratic growth. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Looking great Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

How many days from cutting to when that pic was taken Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Maybe check with screen printing suppliers. Not sure if that will work. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

It happens Here is the code: Only change is the connection between relay and Arduino plugs into D13, not into 7. void setup() { pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level) delay(43200000); // wait for a second digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW delay(43200000); // wait for a second }

Proof of concept successful on basic config, will post full diagram and coding later on... Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Alrighty, proof of concept at 50%, I've got the eskom on/off portion sorted. Both relays clicking so I don't believe the LED side will have any issues. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk
