Prom

I would bring that bulb back and avoid the store in the future. They sell you any crap or they have ZERO idea what they sell you.. both cases.. you want to avoid the store for future business transactions

A friend ran his first grow on HPS, got it from a friend for free. Works, they stretch way more on HPS. And need 60 to 90cm distance or you run into problems, the high radiation heat made his plant go foxtail, when he ran out of top space. Not sure what you want to test... we know HPS works... we know LED works... and LED wins by advantages for home growers... also known

GSC is a bit a swingy plant. Still one of my preferred smokes. But i prefer when they pheno direction Durban Poison. Friend of mine is also complete fan of the Fastbuds LSD25.. is still on my list to grow. But seeds got confiscated by customs, got a letter from SARS i actually had to giggle. Not sure they took the seeds because wrong declared or cannabis seeds. Like we scratch out head if the seeds i declared just didnt got checked at all. Keep in mind, all you order from outside is very slow due to Post Office... not sure they deserve the name anymore. Snail Office fits better. And after waiting 5 months, might get confiscated.. order local or check that if you get visit from europe, check they can bring you some seeds order local is faster and saver. I guess my seeds ended with Zuma's son, heard he has a monstrous grow operation going

@Fridge B - B - B - Bingo The Gelato is about 1 mile ahead of the next ones Problem is that you have to import ^^ Customs just grabbed my FastBuds order so send the guys a msg to pack 30 seeds max, declare them on the manifest and put a letter with: free samples, value zero! hehehe and see what customs do. If it goes past, FastBuds also knows how to send into SA otherwise I ship to my German address and take em with over Xmas The mess they do with seeds.. I ordered when the draft said: unlimited seeds and seedlings you can posses. Hope they fork out the law soon, so we know what we can work with, at the moment customs them self seem rather confused. The Fedex seeds I declared.. went through zero problemo. If you look for something tasty and local available. Nirvana still have some good genetics in their selection on Autos. The Bubblelicious is a very sexy smoke, fruity and if you let it go late, kicks like a donkey. I made a "few", over 30 plants total of those, and they all ended up about the same with no heavy pheno swings. Like the FastBuds Gelato, very stable. The Blue Cheese (Blueberry Cheese, who ever gave the name Blue Cheese should get shot) from Nirvana is also a very aromatic smoke but.. you get some super tasty ones and some rather boring ones, I would say your chance is 50/50 to end with a good one, plant 2, 3 to be sure ^^. Their Blueberry Kush has some veeeeery sexy phenos in... problem, 1 out of 4 ^^ I made a few, got 4 really really awesome smelling and tasting plants, the others were just average. And autos you can't keep.. so the more stable strains are more fun to grow. HSO Sour Diesel or NYC Diesel.. is what I call proper Diesel. If I look for Diesel, I always go HSO. If you look for a Sativa dominant plant.. and you like the taste.. BINGO! ^^ Have so many people loving the weed.. I put it up, also Sativa dominant ^^ Royal Gorilla Automatic from Royal Queen Seeds. It won a cup.. you understand why, when you taste it. Is a bit a weed you don't get the taste to often and when you are done with the joint, you always ask why so fast. Very smooth silky smoke.. (edit. also very stable strain, tasted no difference per plant) Still want to sneak into Mephisto.. but that is for next year.. doing FastBuds this year.. didn't had a bad strain from those guys yet.. just grows and tastes.

Sexy... and don't worry, the next 3 weeks they will stock up on bud material Looking perfect for end week 7. Good Job!

If it rains a lot, check that your drainage works. The standing water will do most damage to your roots. If it doesnt stop raining, consider building an arch if your plants flower, put them under cover. Never used any biodyne product.. let us know how it turns out. You find nothing on their website? Dosage is a bit key

The 1.2x0.6 is a very sexy tent size. You reach all corners very easy and you dont really need to go bonkus on air flow. If you cant have it to noisy. A simple desk fan for entry, a small occilating inside and if you go with a light, combined with its own cooling, like the Mars144, you have very little noise in the room, but still a working system. Might smell a bit thou If it is your first indoor grow, i wouldnt go over the edge. Big tents bring work with them. I love my 1.2x0.6.. just easy to work with. You can always get a bigger one and sell the small one... but in general you add tents

You would need 2 of those lights for a 1.2x1.2, or 1 for a 1.2x0.6 Mammoth or the Mars Hydro... i never had a Mammoth. My Mars tents look pretty good after 1 year usage. All zippers work, no stitch let go. How many plants fit in... imagine you are a doctor and a 2 meter guy comes to you with his tiny wife and asks: she is pregnant, how tall will be our child? If you do a awesome job, 4 and is full. If you fuck over your auto batch... 16 easy if you do all right, 1kg dry should be easy to reach on a 1.2x1.2 area. Better number as amount of plants.

I got me a new batch of sifs. China man took a few more sizes as they fit so nice into each other... paid around 26 us$ per sif. The shipping was 150 If you order, just check what sizes you like, i went 40cm diameter, there are bigger and smaler too. They shipped one of each mesh size no problemo. You even get shakers for those, i didnt went that far... yet

As in everything, to much isn't good. Yes, to much IR will harm your plants, but it isn't also on the same scale with LED as it was with HID systems. The heat radiation (IR is part of it) is way more intense. So if you use the right distance and the right amount of IR, it will benefit your grow, as IR helps the plant by stimulating photosynthesis, growth and flowering, among other needed processes in the plant. If you use lights without IR (yes, works) and reach the top of your tent.. no need for IR. But if you reach with IR plant size around 1.20 to 1.50 meter.. they would be smaller without IR. I avoid UV.. and read some articles in the last months, that I might even have to revise that opinion. But UVA seems to be beneficial to potency, were UVC and UVB are harmful. I look to get 315-400nm diodes and test that ^^ But then again.. IR stimulates raisin production too.. at least to my knowing ^^ For now I stick with my 3000k 660nm QB288s (have 8 in use).. and reach 2 to 2.5g per watt. @PsyCLown the IR range starts around the 700nm, you can count the 660 in.. as it is part of the radiation handling some vital processes in the plant. There are some strains.. very hungry for IR during flowering.. any OG Kush or SDs thrive best with. And to my knowing IR is one of the best to interact with the phytochromes, which are special light receptors and regulate essential processes like plant stem growth, how the leaves expand and flowering. I don't tell people what to use.. me for my part.. I always use boards with IR on them. I wrote a little guide not to long ago:

@Light It Up lets start with the welcome! had a quick look... i guess you guys just setup? QB288s... 2 options you offer right now. The single QB shows on the picture IR diodes. So the 3500k 660nm would work as grow board. Using just one for veg on a 1.2x1.2... is a bit "optimistic". I love QBs too, but they are not 'that' good the 3500k would be my second choice, care to elaborate why you offer only those? Pure interest, the 3500k boards work, no argument here The dual board... yes you can hang one in a 2.4x1.2 tent, but that wouldnt be enough to actually light it calculate at least 3 boards, better 4, for a 1.2x1.2 meter space. The picture you use shows a board without IR and would no be useable as grow light for flower. Infra red is one of the mayor wave lenght needed. Distances you provide are for germination, vegetative and flower state?

that is what we talk about! Not the densest, but for a winter grow, rather excepional result. That looks rather tasty, @Dank Very much dialed in! Plant Porn

#1 Happy Gelato #2 Blueberry Kush (3 months cured) #3 Blackberry Kush

I covered them with plastic mosquito netting from builders warehouse garden section, cable ties. very simple.. and is the exit ^^ they are gone by now. I reworked the room for the breeding project.

They are happy flowering... you have to give em a "bit" more time I know, waiting is freakin annoying Rest, looking sexy.. put em in the most sunny spot you have

Is very nice.. I was on green crack 4 years ago can't go anywhere wrong, if you look for a sativa kick

Na, I stopped doing anything beside LST. We did a few tests with all different techniques.. the ones we left alone, won in yield. Friend holds our grow record, done nothing at all beside feeding, pulled 201g from one amnesia haze auto. I stand at 136g from my biggest auto so far. Bit behind ^^ but I hover around 2-2.5g per watt. Also had a quick read.. I still have the smoke result to type The weed.. the left overs ^^ .. now curing since August. The smoke is very smooth and the taste hard to describe. Nothing extreme, nothing boring, you enjoy every puff of it. The over all effect is more on the giggly side and the first part is more on the energizer side.. like a sativa should be. If you finish the joint and tell yourself, wow, that was a nice puff, I could go with another one. The next you might experience is lifting your head from the bed, check the clock and say UPSSS... you lost some hours. Was no late harvest, bit before, so the weed can kick you rather hard. I will get me some more seeds.. could very easy happen, that I want to stock up, once my last Jar is empty. A very giggly weed. To the strain.. light canape variation, rest, I couldn't really taste a huge difference between plants. They ended a bit all the same, what is nice.. you always get what you plant. So I give it a Thumps Up If you look for a Sativa kick with the possibility to change it in a insomnia cure, the Royal Gorilla from Royal Queen Seeds is for you I know.. I just woke up

I think I get a better overview with the F2. I finish my seeds and pollen run with the ruderalis and start the Swazi as soon as I have a little more space, have those Charlottes Web's CBD still in the 12/12 tent. And they are not even 12/12 yet hehehe My Gelatos and Pinis Autos go out in about 3 weeks, then I put all the Swazi Gold seeds, I got from @Stinger96, in the main tent to get a decent selection. I post pics, when there is a reason to post some ^^ Ruderalis coming sexy so far

If your beans don't pop after 48 hours... they are not the freshest seeds. Also check how you store your own seeds. Vacuum container, fridge.. you can also freeze them gentle. Seeds from a seed bank run a bit with a "protection", at least the good ones do it. I buy 10 and have 1-2 duds.. I accept it in general. But if I have more fails.. I usually let them know and the only response you should get is: we send the replacement seeds to the same address? If you buy seeds, don't feel shy to tell them, if the seeds are not doing as they should. I had a bad batch once from Nirvana (marijuanaseeds.co.za) and they replaced me the full amount seeds I bought and send to me the same day I wrote the complain. The time you lost will always be the annoying part.

Yup, watched a few stuff from him. He is more on the funny side, so not really boring and gives good advice. I have a non effort grow in the grow diaries.. Autos are really that easy

The burping is a release of excessive moisture. If you use bags, you do not have to burb.. the bag absorbs the moisture, opening disturbs it more. I prefer to be more on the dry side before I jar and put a bag. And when a bag risks to get dry, it goes in a separate vac jar with a cotton ball of water to refill again. That way your bags last till they end in a contaminated jar.. and go dumpster (shouldn't happen to often ^^).

The Fastbuds (Gelato/Pineapple Express) i run right now, started to flower end week 3 ^^ love it doesn't mean they really stopped growing either.

The tent gets the climate from the room.. put the dehumidifier in the room.. not the tent. And cook your climate outside.. you have way more space.. your tent is for growing ^^
