Yikes, yeah those pots are too big, too wet, and the medium isn't superb.

Woop woop it's da police

We opening up a bet @StickyD420 ?

Think @Prom [https://www.420sa.co.za/topic/3800-lost-my-bet/]

Eish post me which internet tuned you that. MH is veg, HPS is flower. Like I say ching chong, I think you should raise your temps at night, and a method of doing that with bulbs is to keep the lights on 24hrs. Ain't no problem. 18-6 is good to help with temp management when things are too hot. It is also the gold standard of light timing in veg. However, 24hrs is also just as fine. I like it when you talk foreign to me.

That's fine for distance. Try getting your night-time temps up in the 20's during veg. If you're not worried about electricity costs, you can tune your lights to 24hrs in veg to help with the temps. Also, patience. The seedlings are probably working on their roots when you don't see much leaf development, then all of a sudden you see a boom in growth. Just keep them happy for now, definitely get those night temps up for now. I also assume you know a 600W HPS isn't the best for veg but if you need one bulb for a whole grow a 600W HPS will do it. Just beware you may have stretchy plants in veg by using the HPS bulb. MH bulbs keep the plants nice and short. Swazi is a sativa so it's already a stretchy plant by nature, so you will definitely have to top or something to tame her indoors.

How far is your bulb from the seedling? What strain are you growing?

Could just be focusing on root development. As long as you see a happy seedling with some growth everyday and no abnormalities, you're good.

It's Kingbrite LED, you can find their products quite efficiently through their company page and using the 'Products' drop down menu: https://kingbriteled.en.alibaba.com/company_profile.html?spm=a2700.supplier-normal.35.3.71ee402doqTboJ#top-nav-bar Just understand, it's Kingbrite. If you lose the chip lottery and your LEDs start fading in a year, don't get bummed. It's happened to a few members on other forums that I remember when initially researching them. There are other avenues to source genuine LED's locally, whether prebuilt or DIY. It's a bit of a rabbithole but it is there.

I want you to drift a Ferrari

Another one bites the dust

Jaaaa turns out that EcoBuz really doesn't work.. Do the @Prom thing and stick with the Serenade. It is the winner.

@Kiteloop watch in the next week how your growth explodes. If things are on point and your roots are hitting the reservoir nice, it's gonna boom

Make it a good one and show us what the G Master LED V1.0 can do

I don't think a single QB288 even needs a heatsink on its own. You could just even use a flat piece of aluminium if you really really wanted to mount it onto something, or install a little pc fan on the back.

Very nice, shall be following.

Update on the Royal Gorilla. Definitely a well balanced toke, good for either the day or night. Maybe a bit too much on the sativa side for any heavy couch-lock like the GDP, so you can still get yourself to doing the more menial tasks of the day. Smoked for the first few times you can feel a headband like experience around the forehead which is something new from anything I've grown before. I must say the aromas are not very harsh or distinctive, I noticed this also during the grow when flowering. No real smell or terpenes to the bud, although what can be smelt falls on the citrus side. Definitely is going on my grow again list. Most well balanced bud and good for the general experience. Goldilocks kinda stuff

Necro But I'd have a look at the Wasabi NFT system by Urban Organics. I've grown tomatoes and other herbs in them before but would be interesting to see what someone could do with cannabis. https://www.urbanorganics.co.za/product/the-wasabi/?v=68caa8201064 You wouldn't be able to go very long or big with your grow though. The tubes get clogged up by the roots quite quickly, blocking the return flow back to the reservoir. The speed of growth however was quite phenomenal, even under cheap blurple lights.

We should redo this poll

So many seed vendors we are due another poll

I think it would benefit tobacco more than cannabis. When I smoked rollies my bag tobacco would dry out within a couple of days after opening. Half my life I've been smoking dry weed because I didn't know any better

From what I can see, this would be great in a cigar box with a humidity meter so that you know how humid your stash is. I would also use it to reinvigorate bought weed that is way too dry. I wouldn't use these for curing, it doesn't seem precise enough for that.

I also have one seedling that's bigger than the other because a seed didn't germinate classic

Jarred the Royal Gorilla, total dry weight is 54g The GDP weighed in at 36g. So the total grow for two plants with my wonky mainline came in at 90g Which brings this grow to a close. My conclusion is that my yields were diminished by a poorly structured mainline that had way too many side shoots that produced pissy little airy buds that took away from the main colas. I went in mentally wanting to see what would happen if certain shoots were left to grow along with the main stems but not nearly any of them grew anything noteworthy. I have a really good idea of how I want to mainline my next plants and go back to a similar method that I incorporated in my first grow; designating and favouring the main stems and focusing energy to the main colas with a tactfully done defolation to complement. I also experimented with heavy fluctuations in temperature between lights on and lights off during flower, which yielded in the most colour production I've seen on any of my plants so far. I do feel that I started too early with the fluctuations; essentially at flip. I think it would have been better to do it closer to the end and final week of flowering, during the ripening stage. The overall temperature of both plants during the entire flowering period was quite cold in general, averaging at about 15C I'd guess, with lows as far as 11C. Although no adverse affects were experienced health wise, I do feel it had diminished potential yields. Tasty buds have been grown and enjoyed regardless. Speaking of, having had some of the Gran Daddy Purple after a week of drying and a further week of curing, it is a very mellow almost meditative strain. I wouldn't suggest any thought-heavy tasks while on the GDP as the mind really wants to wonder. I would say it is very good for stress and winding down in the evenings. A bitter grapefruit aroma can be enjoyed from the grinder after crushing a little bit of the herb. It's a sneaky one too with a drawn out affect. You wonder where the high is initially and as you wonder, you keep wondering, only to realise further down the line that you are in fact quite stoned. I would definitely like to grow this strain again. Once I have had some time with the Royal Gorilla I'll post a little short something something

yikes
