The Grass Baas

Howzit okes. I thought I would revive this thread abit as it's been over a year since I've posted. I have still been growing, but haven't been recording. There have been a few ups and a few downs. A few upgrades here and there. I've learnt to take it easy when it comes to adjusting anything. Often drastic changes can harm your grow. So the one upgrade I am really stoked about are the autopots. In the 1.2x2.4 tent I used to use 8x20L fabric pots. The runoff was ridiculous and the amount of water runoff I vacuumed was ridiculous. Now I've switched over to 6x15L autpots. Yes yes, I know what you're thinking. What about the yield? Surprisingly enough the yield was more on my last run (1st autopot run) than any other run. This is also excluding air domes at the bottom. Just leca. The air domes are the newest upgrade but haven't flowered in them yet. Will see the results in the next 2 or so months. Overall the autopots have been a fantastic addition and has reduced the amount of work a huge amount. Also using less nutrients. I made sure the cleanup was on point. This also reduced the amount of trimming I had to deal with and even better.....0 fluff. I repeat. Not a single drop of fluff. The numbers that came out were ridiculous. I have over 1kg of smokeable product. Obviously it is shared amongst a couple of us but what a take. I checked up on the roots and they looked pretty good to me. Nice and fully developed, and this is without the air domes. I'm very curious as to how much more I would yield with the air domes. I've checked online and the number being thrown around is that you will yield 130%. Now I don't quite know how to read that percentage but what I suspect is they estimate 30% on top of what you would get without them. Please correct me if I'm wrong. So basically. What they're saying is if I got 1kg I could get 1.3kg next? Sounds nuts. But let's see. I have also been thinking hard about adding bloom booster lights to the existing setup. Basically 240w on top of the existing 960w. That would put me up to 1200w and that would also increase yield. I can't imagine more than what I got but hell, let's see where this road goes. Please excuse the mess of a write up. I smoked some of the examples above and am struggling to stay focused. Please feel free to ask if I've missed anything. The strains weren't specific strains but some cuttings from a friend. The one that faded nice and dark purple yielded the most. I'll post the numbers below. Purple = 567.4g total Prime nugs: 232.2g Medium nugs: 175.4g Popcorn: 159.8g Green = 523.3g total Prime nugs: 189g Medium nugs: 172.3g Popcorn: 162g GRAND TOTAL: 1090.7g Basically. 2x480w LED lights, 6 autopots, T.A tripart, coco/perlite (bioleaf). Thanks for watching.

Haven’t been on the forum in a while and I come back to this?! Wow dude. Seriously impressive. The amount you got out is also unreal. Your cleanup is on point. well done sir

Duuuude!!!! Organic tent harvest looks really good. Nice nugs. And the big tent also looks like its going to be a show.... beautiful. I wanted to add..... what I have just notived with my next harvest coming up is that my amouny of fluff is less bit still there. I also wanted bigger nugs so I grew the plant bigger. I think the mistakes I mad preciously affects the size of my colas. Even though I have a shitload coming out this batch, the nug size isnt 100% what I want. This might be me comparing mine to a friends harvest which he uses HID lights. Anyway. So what I am going to try now is veg my plants alot bigger and top them way higher. I topped mine way too early and bushed out too much forcing me to flip. Now I wait till I have atleast 30cm of straight stems before topping. So basically i want to veg them high, top them high and then start training on the net. This gives me more vegging time but less veg if you catch my drift. Long stems then start branching out and I flip. So vegging will take longer, taller plants but less canopy so I can flip and grow into it. Hopefully giving me bigger nugs. I hope this makes sense. Basically I am trying to make bigger pathways to the nugs. Anyway. Great grow man. Look forward to every harvest.

Absolutely beautiful man. Wow. Really impressed and loooooove the colouration. Please upload a photo of the whole tent (I want to drool over some scrog) and I am sure you will let us know what the final weights are when all done. Well done. Looks tasty

This! Is! The! Way! I have sometimes gone weeks without smoking flower and just smoked rosin instead. It's also a nice way to give your lungs abit of a break. I don't know if you know but "cold starting" is the best way to spare your nail/banger. Rosin is the future.

Welcome to the forum my guy @Bundy. I am sure you will learn alot from the guys around here. Lots of people with plenty of knowledge to go around. I have learnt a tremendous amount about MJ on this forum. Also a real passion for me. Not just smoking, but every little aspect. Hope ypu enjoy your stay. Also..... @Ill_Evan is a showoff . But definitely worth following the mans diary.

I have also printed the documents supplied by fields of green and keep it with my grow at all times. This is the scarey part. Cops and logic have never been known to go together. Thats when you have to go to court and spend those hard earned $$$ to get out (even though you are not guilty). I agree, everyone should have the documents printed and stay safe.

I wonder if those 10x 20l were actually just the pots with the roots in. Sometimes these guys weigh the whole dam pot including soil and say its 20kg of product while it is just dirt. What saddens me the most is this guy probably thought he was within the law and thats why he let them in. I will never allow them in if I can. The problem is you might be within in the law but the police are maniacs in SA. They will rip all your shit out and confiscate everything. Making it your responsibility to get your equipment back with lawyers etc. So all they end up doing is wasting our tax money and then you end up wasting your own money fighting them, while they use your tax money to fight you back. Its a terrible vicious circle. In the firearm community we sit with the same problem. You apply for a license and maybe they feel like they dont want to give it to you. You then end up spending your own money to fight them in court while they have endless amounts of tax money to fight you back. Even though in the long run you probably will win the case, after you've sold your house and your kids' university savings. I would still err on the safe side. Dont trust those fuckers. They dont know the law.

Namajunas' fight was absolute shit. I know there are people posting videos of them falling alseep during the fight. I too fell asleep. Was terrible. Really wanted gaethje to win but happy for oliviera. Hes been working at it for very long. Chandler's kick was next level. Crazy good. Glad tony was OK and checked out of hospital quick quick. The guy is a champ. Shitty about cowboy. Fucking tacos. What the hell. I wouldve thought you would eat a planned balanced meal before fighting. Not just tacos because you made weight. Abit stupid. I was really lookong forward to cowboy. I see theres attempts to get diaz and chimaev. I dont like that. Thats a pure beat down and dont think diaz would survive it. And i love the diaz bros. Adesanya vs Cannonier is gonna be epic. If alex perriera beats sean strickland that night, i want to see the izzy fight next. I dont doubt izzy but man I think putting that champ in with someone thats beaten him not once, but twice, would be crazy to just see it happen. Sugarshow and Dricus will both be there. Cant fucking wait!!!!

Awesome. Thanks for the info dude. Here I am thinking it is only 3 bottles just like TA Tripart. Thats alot of juice to remember to put in. I also used to just use living soils and had the tripart just sitting there. Until one day I decided to switch over and have never looked back. I prefer the TA Tripart now. Easy to use and just like you said....It works. I should maybe get a couple small bottles of the Biobizz range as I go and maybe one day I will have the same thought process. Maybe I will switch to BioBizz and never look back. But until that day, I will TriPart it all the way.

Wow man. Those plants are looking amazing!!. Very very nice. The scrog is unreal. Welldone on the cleanup. You are not going to be dissapointment with the yield. It looks really good dude. One thing I need to try is to move over to BioBizz nutes. Im still on the T.A. Tripart train and have alot of liters to get through. Will switch over sometime when all my other stuff is done. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hey man. Yeah I noticed in my last grow I can also get a little closer. I like to keep it about 30cm, maybe 25cm from the canopy but I am pretty sure I can get nice and close. Maybe 15cm or 10cm. Will check. Love it. Golf balls are my favorite. I think definitely red diodes and a good cleanup should help. I hear you man. Also been on a blurple light and what a piece of shit. Maybe good for vegging. I actually foujd my normal 6400k flood lights do a better job. Lol. Cant wait man. Would be very cool to see. Please let us know what he produced under that bad boy. Once again. Nice build

Bananium looks amazing. Very very nice grow dude!!

Very nice build man. Very nice. I did a build like this not too long ago but I went for the bigger strips. Their measurements were 1100mm in length so was perfect for my 1200mm tent. Plus I only did 4x bars of 3 strips each. I just recently harvested 2 batches of 1 strain under 2 different lights. The one is the 480w diy build off of LEDgardener and the other a bought 480w from kingbrite. I must admit. With all the effort and time spent making a light (which is a fun process) I found it was cheaper to buy from kingbrite. None the less fun experience. One thing I want to mention is that with my previous harvest I found the Kingbrite light produced more nugs of good density than the DIY. Wether it is the penetration of light, or the red diodes on the kingbrite, I am not sure. I kind of think it is the red diodes because both lights are 3500K (What K are the strips you got?).So with my next batch under the DIY I will be lollipopping very close to the top to make sure all light penetrates. I am looking at getting 3x bloom booster lights from kingbrite. Still thinking about it. They are 30w red diode lights which I think could fit inbetween my existing light strips which are 3 spaces. Perfect. Only problem is they sell them seperately. I will try convince them to send me 3x lights on one 90w driver instead of 3x 30w drivers. Will see if I can add it to the DIY. Maybe they would sell me the strips seperate and I will just source the correct driver. Anyway. Just a thought. But definitely let your friend know to clean those babies up when flowering. He won't regret it. I could definitely get over 400g of proper prime nugs from that light. Very nice build. Looking forward to what comes out of it.

What's up man. I am doing several different things with trim and fluff. I have started pressing some of the fluff through 90micron bags, not big yields but not bad in colour. I haven't had the time to press everything or wash. I have only done 3 presses and smoked up the first ones. I did however use a 160micron sift screen and ran all my trim over it. Got a fair amount of dry sift hash which I also pressed with a 37micron bag but my yield was not great. I got just over 10%. I think I prefer what comes out after a wash and then pressing. I have gotten 40% before out of pressing bubble hash.
