@420SA When is the poll going to be up?

Geez, running everything off solar? That must have cost a fortune, you have some heavy draw on your grow equipment - let alone appliances like your fridge, freezer, oven, geyser etc. Very nice though. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I don't think sitting in your grow area is unhealthy, although my Quantum boards are super bright, even when giving them only 140w it's crazy how much light shines out from my grow area. May be worth investing in some good quality full spectrum grow lights to replace those LED flood lights.

It's certainly not your average bagseed! So I would like to keep this plant, I had no clue what to expect and this just blew me away. @Ill_Evan haha, it looks very cool and has grown very different to the other buds, does not seem to swell up as much though. As far as I can tell, it seems to be a mutation where there are 3 budsites there, maybe even 4 at a push. A very leafy bud though and seems to be maturing a bit slower, so when I harvest the Bruce Banner I may need to do it in stages.

I personally have not noticed issues with it on my seedlings and the clones I have put into it. I still have some Freedom Farms germination mix, although do not feel the need to use it. I recently put 2 sprouted seeds straight into some Organics Matter soil without any ill effects at all. They are growing and look pretty happy! No signs of nute burn what so ever. Perhaps more sensitive strains may struggle.

That is odd, perhaps it is a bad batch. I have currently have 2 new seedling which went into some organics Matter soil and they're doing fine. It may be worth while reaching out to the owner to find out whether others have experienced similar issues and find out whether he is aware of the issue. @greenkush you are experiencing the same issues on your new soil?

So I got a few pics for you guys. Hope you enjoy them. Almost harvest time. Here are some pics of the Tropicana FF (AKA Bagseed): Bruce Banner and the Polyploid mutation: 3 The GDP. @Ill_Evan this is what you can expect from the GDP. The GSC: The CBD Critical Mass:

Which picture are you referring to? The one with 3 leaves? What do you mean by press them?

@Vanessa welcome! Which is the new soil you are using? What is the name of the brand of this new soil?

I believe @CreX got a bag. Not sure how he is finding it. I am more than happy with my Organics Matter soil, unless something changes I do not plan on changing soil anytime soon.

What did you spray on your plants? Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Heat? What are your temps in your tent and what lighting do you have? Also remember different plants will grow at different rates and grow differently. Even the same strain but when growing from seeds, there is generally still room for variance. Your Sativa plants will generally be taller than your Indicas as well, however not all Sativa plants will grow at the same rate as each other etc.

I've reached my limit

That Lemon Thai looks sooo good! Especially the middle picture with the colour on the leaves. Looks like a big plant too!

Very nice, what is that - the sativa plant?

I personally run Quantum Boards, chineses ones with Samsung LM301B diodes and I love them! I had some LED strips, decent diodes - Bridgelux, similar to the Samsung LM561C I believe although I did not have quite enough and it was not working as well for me so I moved my veg area back to Quantum Boards recently. So I veg and flower with those, both in 3000K actually. Nothing wrong with LED strips though, you could look at purchasing some from Arrow or DigiKey and making them yourself - mount it to some aluminium (u channels work well). You could also look at getting some decent COB LED's, make your own heatsink for those if you'd like. There are various options, how soon are you wanting the lights up and running? How long are you able to wait? Also where about are you based?

You have quite a large space, those are not great lights at all and would need a looooot to fill the room with light. Perhaps use what you have ordered and then save up and get some better lights when you're able to afford it. Those lights are also not really 1200W, perhaps 60w to 240w at most but their efficiency will be really low and the amount of light the plants can absorb from those LEDs won't be great either. So end of the day, you will need a lot more watts from those LEDs compare to quality LEDs, for example you may need 500w of those cheap LEDs to compare to 250w of quality LEDs and even then the results may differ - larger node spacing, buds being more airy and less dense etc. I typed out a nice explanation regarding LEDs here:

Consider an automated watering system. Will make life easier. Defoliation only happens around 2 or 3 times during flowering. I'm keen to try a scrog sometime. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Just keep giving water then. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Well you need to try flush too. Also different strains take different times to flower. Most hybrid indica strains are around 9 weeks flowering time. Sativas can take around 3 - 4 weeks longer. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Looks like a while still to me from what I can see. How long has she been flowering for? Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

So the fade is starting on some of the plants: Tropicana FF: GDP, note that the GDP had a fan blowing directly on it and I suspect that is the cause of the curled leaves. Looks ugly but I'd rather have air circulation in my tent. Bruce Banner: Nothing from the GSC or CBD Critical Mass yet.

In theory, yes. In practice, it's a lot trickier. Often LED's on boards are wired up in a certain way to achieve a specific voltage range. So for example on my QB's some diodes are in series and then in parallel. My voltage is around 50v for these QB's. Changing the diodes for different ones will change that and it may not work, plus it's going to be a lot of work. The power supplies are set for a specific voltage and I'm not sure you'd be able to adjust the voltage on those built in power supplies. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Yeah, I think Hortimix may be cheaper. So rather just get some Hortimix then.
