To me the biggest advantage of LED is that it reduces the shadow profile a lot. Light is not just more efficient generated, but also more even distributed. Next is the heat.. the more you compare, the more points you will find that a 40 year old technology isn't up to date anymore. You not just waste more energy into running the lamp, but also put more into cooling the heat down again. Light efficiency is how much heat you produce as a side product. Less heat.. more light gets generated with the same energy input. We reach cold light.. only fertilizer will make the difference I also have to add that I do not think that I would have got the result with a Dutch Auto seed. We did now way over 100 autos as a group of growers and the picture is very clear. The US boys are miles ahead with their auto genes, Dutchies have something to catch up right now. I did around 30-40 Dutch Autos.. and the worst result of all I had with Dutch Passion.. small little suckers. I had 9, friend 4.. he lost patience with three and just pulled them.. waste of time for the grow speed they had. I have 3 Angels and 6 Blackberry.. beautiful plants to look at.. yield wise I will be happy if I get 50g a plant.. with the CBD I will make jumps if I reach that rather sad result. I do not think I am a better grower compared to you @Master_G .. Those Brucies are very heavy yielders, I ordered the seeds for that reason. And just to mention.. if you reach 1.3g per watt on Fems.. you do something I never reached.. never.. ever

Those Bruce Banners from Monster Genetics are heavy Yielders.. Friend had one outdoor and that made me get those 12 seeds. Taste was also very pleasant during smoke, more earthy, peppery and packed a punch for a outdoor. Any auto from 42fastbuds.. my preferred breeders right now, Mephisto Genetics close second.

Mhhh gram per watt... this might then bug you folks even more ^^ I run a batch of Gorillas under the 144 Mars. Friend had the light over till his quantum board arrived and had it on a smart plug. Pulls in Veg 129 Watts and in Flower 177 Watts. I have 9 Pots in there but one is a dud.. so 8 plants. And expect at least 400g from those 8 Autos. What would be way over 2g/watt. Time for HID is long time over, Hombres.. do the LED switch.. costs less, yields way more. We long term growers all started with HID.. but like in evolution, the ones not adapting, will disappear Have the 144 running on 24/0.. draws so little, wanna see how the autos yield, when I give em zero darkness (1.2x0.6m tent), still week one I stop preaching about Autos.. is all your own decision

Last time I went to the tent shop to stock up on BioBizz, the owner also told me that I converted him to autos. I think you know fems head to toe.. give those silly autos a try..

https://www.mars-hydro.com/mars-tsw-3000-led-full-spectrum-hydroponic-led-grow-light Those are the lights I use

I used a 90x120cm area inside the tent.. would have loved to have a wall more hehehe but that was just what I had, so also no side reflection of the open side. I only do autos.. I have a 2.4x2.4 tent.. but don't run all, I have 3 TS max running in there. After this harvest.. I shut it down for a bit enough to trade with friends. Not even used a CO2 generator.. I think I can go way over 1kg below one TS No secrets.. fertilizer. Friend in Europe just started, after I told him how awesome the Gelato is, he got pissed off to only get the same old stains in Switzerland all the time. He send me a message a few days ago asking which one: one grow shop tells him this is the best, the other say this one.. the selection of all grow shops he has been and he checked a few.. Plagron or BioBizz... right now you only get BioBizz in SA... so go with that. really really works.. So no.. I am no miracle grower.. advanced hobby grower would be the best title.. no pro for sure

The method is.. don't disturb the plant. I topped on because she was just on her own mission. Had 2 rather shorter ones, the rest formed a even canape. If you want to give a name to my method.. bud on bud. I don't use a net, as then I can't move them anymore to easy feed. My pots stand pot on pot, 28cm pots (swapped to square now so I get em better stacked when young). the heavy leaning ones I just put against the tent wall. I was busy with the outdoor harvest, so I couldn't give those lots of attention and it proved again.. what ever we test, defoiling, topping,.. a unstressed auto yields 20% more. I put things below the small pots to raise them to even the canape. Is really all I do in that direction. My feeding tables are adapted to 8, 10 and 12 weeks. The seeds drop into fertilized water.. and never give pure water till flush. Lights, Mars TS 3000 20/4 Have 3 air circuits handling temp and moisture (room and tent). Freedom Farms and my own compost from the garden heap pots were standing 3x4, used 1 TS on those

I put the thingy in the grow reports check there

I reached 976g on 1m2 indoor grow area... and lost my bet But I am rather sure I will reach the 1kg dry on 1m2 area.. lets try again Also might want to add... zero training techs used.. I topped one, which was on her own mission and 2 stayed rather short but rest formed a rather nice and even canape them self. I only removed leaves the plants were giving up and didn't disturb them in any way possible.

Yes, but the auto function is bound to just one genome... that genome is bread into the plant.. the rest is a bit like it was. Ruderalis has a very different look.. none of that is anymore present, gone, you just see what you want to see. As said, each has its preferences i like autos. Will get the Gelato and Brucie tested at qure.co.za. Rather curious where they stand...

This thing works rather great for the price https://www.outdoorwarehouse.co.za/product/natural-instincts-electric-washing-machine

I had no clue.. Thanks a lot for the information!

I will send some material for testing, I want to know how much is inside. The CBD material I have to test or I can't put the correct dosage inside the capsules I will make by hand. The Brucies were flowering for 7 weeks.. and they got 20 hours energy a day.. If you calculate that over into real time, my autos get way more light compared to a fem.. not so sure they are lower on taste and THC. But I don't want to convince people to do Autos ^^ do what you like.. I stick to my road and my Autos hehehehe have a Royal Gorilla Batch running in a separate tent on 24/0.. just curious how that ends I will post my numbers from the lab test.. once i get them..

Simplicity, low maintenance and yield... the Bruce Banners I topped one, as she was on her own mission. Rest I had no time with the outdoor harvest keeping me rather busy... took the Brucies down 4 days ago, my poor AC is overtime dehumidifying hehehe but.. I got 3.8kg wet and very much expect 1kg dry from that batch on 1m2 of area. Took me 6 hours to trim those 3.8kg and there is very little final dressing for the buds. Never defoiled or had a bigger mission during the grow.. check each day.. feed if needed (they never got pure water till flush). As said.. simplicity. I gave up on Fems.. to much work ^^ and way to many leaves to cut

my #2 CBD Beauty

nope, she already decided to go flower, you could add light.. but she will go in a change confusion and if you are lucky, will take her 4 weeks to go back to veg.. with the needed light.. you have to decide if that is worth the effort and money. Quality seed.. might be worth it... bag seed.. let it be ^^

If she was just like that outside, I would say the plant is already in pre flower stage. Adding light over 12 hours will confuse her now.

Do you add light to the plant or just standing outside?

Thanks! Stinger96 will sort me out with some Malawi and Swazi... so for now, lets see. I wrote to a friend in Kenya and check if she can get some Kilimanjaro, she is more a consumer hehehe I think I better go browse the boards myself. Where you guys buy your HEPA filters? Any place you get em to cut to size yourself? I look for a 550x550 or bigger

Mouth watering...

^^ If I get something stable out, you get a bag of fresh seeds from the alpha bitch to do your own thing.. will cross with ruderalis.. so you will get the auto version back.. if things work out. But should keep me busy for the next 1-2 years I am not over loaded with space, but I should be able to run batches of 25 to select from. Rest.. what do I know hehehe I am in CT

I am looking for Swazi Gold, Kilimanjaro and Malawi seeds. After the monstrous impact of Durban Poison.. GSC is one of the most decorated weeds out there.. I would love to breed those three into Autos.. soooo I look for high quality seeds. Anyone has some material to join the mission? I am a bit bored and this looks like a fun project.

If you raise your child on bread and water.. will not turn into a Arnie. Giving them as much sun as you can.. good.. watering when dry.. sweet too. Growing without gear is like building a house without tools.. will look according to that. The 5L pots should be fine for now, the plant will not become rather big anyhow, when you have proper gear, double the pot size for Autos. Autos demand perfection.. you might wanna start with a Feminized seed. Read up on some fertilizer.. beside light, is the second most important thing to add to improve harvest. No sun, no plant, no nutes, no harvest. I do not count 2-3 joint plants as a harvest Why you add river sand to your soil?? Has any reason behind that??

Same like most stuff works down here.. the guy not giving a damn till now.. always got what i ordered. OK, it can take some time.. record was ordered in Feb, even forgot that I ordered the material and in October i got a pick up slip with no idea what it could be. And had a great face palm moment when i opened the parcel and checked the stamp with the date when the parcel actually got send out. Still have 2 shipments of Serenade outstanding not talking of all the seeds i ordered during 420 lock down is rather annoying now.. went to builders to order material (insulation) for after the lock down.. nope.. can't. Not even home delivery.. world really stopped down here.

I used it in Europe with rather good results. Was looking for it down here.. couldn't find.. ended with Bio Bizz (also went soil as all my friends swapped from hydro to soil again). Plagron are in contact with some SA companies.. seems there is a high interest in importing it.. not sure how long it will take till all is registered. But can't wait to swap back to what I love
