Yeah it would be great if we could just grow out doors, but like McB said, neighbors, light interrupting the dark cycles, it would actually most likely turn out a lot worse than the 2 hours of less light. Thankfully I have not been badly affected by the load shedding as my time slots are sorta odd in terms of that. So I lose about 2 hours at most during flower and 4 in veg. However when they eventually stop 24/hour load shedding it would basically just be the 2 hour slot. That being said I'm pricing generators now and just seeing which one I should go for. I might just bite the bullet and get the 5.5kva, I work from home so I do need it in order to charge my laptop and stuff.

I'm buying a small generator next week just to keep the light going.

Burples get a bad rap, personally I love the color. My only issue with the cheap ones is their diodes tend to burn out after like 2 or 3 grows.

How exactly is it manipulated? You going to back that up with some evidence or just throw around accusations?

More roughage man.

Your QBs are effectively clones as well, unless you’re suddenly endorsed by HLG.

Thanks will check them out, I did briefly browse them.

Yes I know, I have a few LED setups. In any event, you can build better setup that they have to offer and more powerful as well.

Their prices are NOT decent, they're borderline daylight robbery.

Why do you want a local supplier? There are plenty international options that work perfectly fine. You are just going to be price gouged by local suppliers.

Anyone know where to get the elbow joints for a PVC scrog table build? A 3 way connector would be ideal, but a 90 degree elbow 25mm> and a T short for legs would work. I've tried builders they just have 20mm and the pvc just bends and wobbles.

3500K spectrum with mixed reds, 800 true watts dimmable, what else do you want to know? My 800's are running in my other tent, I have a 2.4X1.2 tent and a 1.5x1.5 going.

The grow is on going, stil a good few weeks away from viability of seeds.

Light setup

Including customs + shipping around 11k

10 bars at 80 watts each, supplemented with far red, 800 watts in total, top bin LM 561 C S6 samsung diodes, high PFD.

Nice donkey penis, stroke it everyday.

I seem plagued with thrips. Having a partner that had recently completed her PhD in the field of agricultural biological control agents we decided to embark on a experiment in terms of controlling different forms of insect control. Her research primarily focused on that of specific nematode species. These are tiny worms that live in the soil and exert specific types of host seeking behavior in order to track down their pray. This got me tracking down a few companies, notably Jamies garden which I was not that impressed with in terms of feedback, delivery and other factors. In any event, living seeds sells these IPM's (integrated pest management) solutions, however their prices are borderline criminal. So this led me to find Koppert, they do take some time to reply to emails so its best to really investigate in advance if you would like to use one of their control mechanisms. So these are the products I specifically queried on: Swirski-Mite - 1L bottle (contains 50,000 mites) R422 Sportnem-T rather Capasanem 2 x 25Mil R256 Thripex-Plus , 500 sachets R1246 Thripex-V 1L NA (price not provided as Plus was) My approach for future grows will be that of a two attack approach, I will use steinernema carpocapsae, which is a nematode species referred to as SportNem-T, this will be used as a soil drench you will notice the amounts you get (50 million), they are very small and barely noticeable with the naked eye. They will seek out soil born insects such as larvae and potentially even fungus gnats yet to start flying. They do this by action of entering the opening of the insect and releasing a bacteria into the host insect and slowly begin to digest it. These nematodes in particular are harmless to the plant and humans and pose no environmental risk at all , in fact you most likely have them in your garden already, or some other specific species of them such as steinernema feltiae. The other approach will be the use of Swirski mites, 50,0000 of these go for 422 where living seeds charges 89R for 250.... These are predator mites and will hunt down thrips, and various other broad mites. Anyways, thought i'd share some info on this and the company I will be getting my biological control agents from.

Digikey send direct to your door with UPS World Saver, I've never had issues bringing in components.

Impressive

Yes biltong and buds are pretty reliable.

Yes, I've done my fair share of security analysis throughout my career and data forensic investigations. I was just confirming you were referring to the exif data

My current seeded grow is almost coming to an end, I'll be growing some of my crosses out. Then some Chiquita Banana cross from utopia farms.
