Prom

I sort the plants and distribute to each section, QB and TS3.. curious if the QBs can match a TS3 But I should have enough to choose from and make a even distribution of good genetics. If you ask yourself, what is the spray bottle doing there.. I use it to easier feed (Root Juice, BioBizz, 4ml/L) the back rows. The Arena

And the next week started ^^ Day 1 Week 7 And week 6 in motion. You see the lamp changes and all I did on the plants.. that means nothing Air intake comes now to the bottom of the tent and exit is top tent as usual. But you see, they liked the change..

I like your setup! I will put a dimmer connection once they are fix on their space and control it over arduino. TS is also not dimmed.. so I keep a even field. Might install dimmers in the TS3s too.. they are a lot more powerful as I expected. I put the big fan (50cm) on.. more air movement never wrong. The TopMax kicked in ^^ they want more today and look quite a bit bigger too, light goes daily up around 5cm. Will give them in the evening again a liter. 1.5 days feeding rhythm.

If you really need sound proofing.. go with mats.. made for that: https://reliablestore.co.za/products/6pcs-12pcs-24pcs-acoustic-soundproof-sound-stop-absorption-for-ktv-audio-room?variant=20024173166703&sfdr_ptcid=28846_617_556013497&sfdr_hash=cecfde770045285f0c7ce406bf595369&utm_campaign=gs-2018-11-23&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign

The story went that far.. the promised refund never arrived. But he got a mail, that they send him another lamp.. if it didn't arrive yet. Mhhhh Nope (we were just standing there laughing, did those morons send it to the wrong address again?) From the outside view perspective, this starts to become funny. The lamp got send... why not send a tracker with the mail, was my first question. So he is happy if he gets anything back, money, lamp,... one thing is for sure. He and for sure me.. will never order anything from those dudes in the future. I enjoy to deal with honest people. Wednesday... just to keep record. EFT was promised last week.

Thirsty now, got feed today.. was needed went 4 Grow / 3 Bloom / 1 TopMax, each a liter. Big tent is running with the battle of the board preparation. Heads are out, and a very nice 24 degrees in the flat. Bit jealous, bit cold in the main house hehehe Have to think into a way to get the warm air over and heat the main during winter. But lights need cooling. What I can say, the QBs run way hotter compared to the TS3. Have to check the heat sink and may change it. Have 2 oscillating fans running and still the QBs are not pleasant to touch.

Rule of thumb is that your tent should renew the air 5 times a minute. But the inside circulation is same if not more important. If you do not disperse the fresh air a simple flow will occur from entrance to exit and your plants will not get the needed CO2 to grow. Second the movement strengthens the plants structure to hold the buds. Cook up a storm inside.. to much is when leaves fly ^^ to little is when plants hardly move. PPM measures the particles in water. Some mineral rich areas can reach easy 800PPM and that leaves you no big range for fertilizer. To many particles in the liquid "clog" the plants "highways" up. Filtered should work but then you might want to measure the Ph. Best is rain water.. get a tank ^^ You need to have a closer look at the plant when you get to harvest time. Without you just guess.. and most beginners harvest waaaaaaaaay to early. Yes, easy to get it later.. get the harvesting gear when you make it to flowering stage.

@CreX if you give em a fair chance, and with your know how of the plants. I will convert you too. Just let them be and have their peace.. don't fiddle or cut anything i only top if absolutely needed in regards to the canape. Even if they don't become huge, the plants just transfer into one huge bud.. very very dense huge bud The Charlotte's Angel is a good example. Was a bit over 30cm tall.

oscillating fan inside the tent. Fertilizer kit. PPM meter to test your water or get it tested. If you use tap water and is rather rich with minerals, might be to much. If you use rain water, forget PPM and Ph kit. pocket microscope or 40x magnifier or good digital marco camera. Pair of small scissors (thin blade) and a larger one. un-powdered medical gloves. Vacuum sealable glass jars. Boveda moisture regulating bags. And rather sure I forgot something

they do that by them self.. have no influence on it. If you want fast plants, look for 8 weeks time seed to harvest.. or just trust me and get some Fastbuds Gelatos.. they will also give you a mouthgasm and hit like a donkey The Gorillas grow fine, I expect not less than 70g per plant.

In the email last week, the guys said, will refund right away. No refund so far.

I actually spend 5 mins with the girls and changed the air flow, brought it to the lower part of the tent to air down up. Started to flower and will get first time Top Max (1ml) next feeding in 2 days. Only use Top Max, when there is a reason to use it ^^ But beside feeding, I do zero work on the girls. Growing nice so far. Day 4 Week 6

We talk now.. or next summer? Yes you can put Autos.. sun strength would be enough, duration.. more is better. So if you can add them a light, would help. Summer.. autos work very well. If you want something with a good kick, try the Gelato from 42FastBuds, would be my recommendation.

Sooo ^^ I continue this one.. and was half the day preparing the battle of the boards My main focus is this one: I do not look for more yield, I would like to reduce my energy consumption and have the same yield. Based on that, I decided to let 3 QBs 288 IM301H with 125 Watt.. I didn't measure that today, had a issue with the wifi and busy enough. I get the proper numbers over a smart plug tomorrow. But lets run factory.. 125 Watt a board, 375 Watt on the QBs against the 450 Watt (also using the number from the smart plug, same source of error). 75 Watt less on a 1.2x1.2 area, I would enjoy that. The TS3000 is a finished product, so it will compete as it is. The QBs i build into 4 lamps, 3 will go into the battle ^^ Those lamps I hang spread over the canape. To get fair numbers, I measured the lamps on the same black non reflective surface with different hanging distance to fixed raised spots to eliminate any ground light wash. I used 30, 45, 50, 60 70 cm distances and leveled lamps. The first I learned is that I was so completely wrong about my hanging distance, rather shocked I got those 976g per m2 I was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to close. Damn.. that quantum flux meter is a eye opener. Mars tells you to put the TS3 on 30-45 cm for flowering.. no ^^ don't do that. Go 75 cm distance for veg and 60cm for flower.. rest is waste and to narrow foot print. If you use a CO2 generator.. crank it up if you go on 30 cm 1280 micromol... Big BADA BUM The QBs will go 65cm for Veg and 50cm for Flower. They are 80 micromol weaker spread over the canape, but we still talk 75 watt less. So this could be a very interesting compare. I let 3 strains run and will have spares to make swaps for genetic lower plants. I try to be as fair as I can be. Both sets will get bottom feeding over a 1.2x1.2 tray. Biggest harvest over all strains wins.. i dropped the seeds today As my Fastbuds seeds are with the Post Office ^^ and I am bored. I went Nirvana seeds.. Bubblelicious, Blue Cheese, Blueberry Kush.. all autos what else!

Was all day busy.. but here we go on the Gorilla Journey.. and just to mention.. feeding all three days and rest I do not really give a damn zero effort grow. Ohhh I raised the lights.. that is now daily on the list. Day 1 Week 6 Added the movie. You see that I moved the plants and changed the light distance twice. That is it...

I keep this updated if he got his money back. Never thought into that option Super friendly on the phone.. seems to be two brothers. But nothing they say ever happens...

As much as I like to point to really great service companies. This one is the COMPLETE opposite! I can only recommend to stay away from www.onlinegrowshop.co.za, what a friend experienced here, is just to much. The only thing they promise seems to be lies. Honestly, NO exception. Started with: Your lamp is ready and tested and will get shipped right away. (about 1 month ago) We are sorry, the heat sink didn't arrive but have it now. (about 3 weeks ago) (how can the lamp be finished and tested without heat sink?) Sorry we told all those lies, the material didn't arrive, but we send you a better replacement lamp (2 weeks ago) The better lamp got send to the wrong customer. Please send your banking details for the refund (this week) Honesty is not on their menu and for Christ sake, don't support such online shops, they need to close down to not have others run into those liars. Why can't they just stick with the truth, that hard??? Who wouldn't understand, sorry, import issues. Telling that the Lamp is done and shipped, twice, knowing that this is a blatant lie.. sorry, shaking my head with those SA business behaviors.. never experience anything even close to this time wasting, lying your ass off habit. I imported and build my lamps faster as the lamp they promise to be on stock (and way cheaper for me). Lies, lies, lies....

Looks like the Dark Street comes with a net can't tell you. I would go with the cheaper option and get a net for 60 bugs myself.. if you need a net... Why not just go with a cheap shit Mars tent? They do the trick and the zippers are in most cases better as on the expensive tents.

I only have a cold issue when my big tent is dark.. otherwise I have more of a heat issue and I use a gas oven as heater if needed. I just turn it on by hand and let it run over night. Yes it adds a bit moisture to the air, but I can live with that.. the additional CO2 isn't needed to be honest, as I do not have anything running over 1000 micromol. Preparing my big tent for the Battle of the Boards. Then I have enough rest heat to keep all cosy and warm.

I could upload the combined file.. so here is day 25 to 32 1.15 you see a small move of the pots, went 2-3 cm towards the cam. Is all I did so far on the plants beside feeding them

I have the cam still running. So I will make a full run from day 16 to finish.

And pic from right now.. Day 4 Week 5

My No1 ^^ a real Auto.. she even topped herself. suddenly the main went 90 degrees sideways and the plant performed a topping Blackberry Kush

Changed to Flowering Lights today at 10.00.. so running 177 Watts now. Will also get 3 Grow and 2 Bloom first time today. Week 5 Day 1 Youtube doesn't let me upload the next video.. tells me that it is the same content as another video I have... they made quite a nice stretch end week 4.. bummer.
