I say add 5 points due to someone noticing@Totemic dropping the odd clue here and there. He dropped a valuable one the other day concerning light distance. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Time to open the box. My editing seems to be pic first then the writing. The parcel got delivered to a family member due to logistics and unfortunately I cannot say if it was courier damaged or after. Wherever or however it got damaged has exposed a weak point in the packaging which I'm sure @Light It Up will look into and rectify. I'm hoping all's OK inside. Once opened there is a thick layer of bubble wrap. Feeling better.Next is a layer of the electronic parts of the light all snug in bubble wrap some of which I removed to take the photo. Sorry about the bits and pieces of info, duty calls, I'll be back shortly.

Are you Cape Town side@Pants ? If so, maybe we can add one of my 75's for the duration of the comp. Or a 300w blurple, probably only 100w max. Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

I agree but must add@growopz is also doing some great stuff price wise. The one imports, assembles and supplies. I'm happy, takes the hassle out off me having to import. The other imports, builds and supplies. Also happy. Supporting two local suppliers. Happy. Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

Howzit Chef. Curious as to what height you at and how many watts you dialled into? Trying to learn and understand a bit more about lighting. Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

So I have recently received a loan light with the option to buy for the @420SA grow off courtesy of @Light It Up with no strings attached. The generosity and kindness on this forum is second to none. I'm what you can consider a lockdown grower so i am pretty new to the indoor game. It started off with a jug of homebrew moonshine, a cabinet and a 9w LED lead light. Next step was 200 odd watts of CFL's and 3 shelving units converted into a grow cabinet. Needless to say the hunt was soon on for LED's but lockdown and no money proved a bit of a challenge. Saving the pennies and MW driver I happened to have it wasn't long before I had a decent light. And now I have a light that is ideal for my flower cabinet thanks to @Light It Up. So I started my research.This is the image available and info given on the website. Description The 240W Quantum Board LED Grow Light lets you grow what you love all year round. This product ensures that your seedlings and plants receive all the necessary light they require to perform photosynthesis regardless of the season, converting the light they capture into sugars necessary for growth. Do not exceed 240W as this may cause damage to the light. TOP FEATURES High efficiency warm white light quantum board Full-spectrum for better yield and results Reliable passive-cooled design Better canopy light penetration with diffused light Ideal for veg and bloom Dimmable power supply included High intensity and even coverage in a grow tent or room Less energy consumption Lifespan of 50 000 hours plus Warranty: 1 year on board | 5 years on driver PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS Samsung LED LM301B | 2 x QB288 V2 Power: 240W South African three-point plug Spectrum: 3500K Voltage Range: 90-277VAC Meanwell Driver XLG-240-H-AB Flowering footprint: 0.81㎡ Veg footprint: 1,44㎡ CRI: 80 Dimensions: 64cm x 19.5cm x 1.5cm Mounting Height: 35cm – 70cm above canopy WHY GO QUANTUM BOARD? Introducing the latest LED technology to arrive on the grow scene. Samsung’s LM301B diodes are top of the range and include full spectrum warm white LED’s, perfect for veg and flowering stages. The 240W Quantum Board LED Grow Light produces more light than a single ended 400W HPS, while using way less power. A large aluminum heat sink keeps the diodes cool, reducing dust buildup and eliminating noise. The low profile design gives you freedom of placement, while coverage is excellent. A separate Meanwell XLG-240-H-AB driver powers the unit, which can be wall mounted, mounted to the tent poles or placed outside the tent. You have the benefits of a cooler room, less energy consumption, higher yields and more savings in your wallet! WHATS IN THE BOX? 120W QB288 with Heatsink x2 Meanwell XLG-240-H-AB x1 Dimmer x1 Mounting wire & Rope Ratchets x1 Power Meter x1 Wires and connectors x1 I'm just finding my way around on how to post pic then text so you guys might have to put 2 and 2 together yourselves every now and again. More to follow soon.

Space blanket onto the cardboard is also an option. Didn't have money for paint and thought I'd give it a go. R20ish from Clicks. 2m x1m Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

Don't go claiming that trophy yet. At least I'm not alone. You counting the day's bud, I've counted in weeks. Sounds less when it comes to success v total cluster ratio. Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

Got given 6 Jack Berry seeds years ago when i first started planting the odd plant around the nursery (picture small slightly disorganized place not open to the public). Breeder info I don't remember other than Amsterdam branding. I eventually started planting those seeds a few years back, my first step from planting bag seed. My last plant I harvested pre lockdown. Early into flower 3 weeks or so I woke up and realized this was the last plant and took a cutting. I've managed to keep what I call my first love alive for close onto two years. The little one will be mother #3 which I tend to keep for 9-12 months then put out to flower. I find it to be a good daytime smoke and it sure as hell works soothing the old war wounds aches and pains. Must add cuttings from this plant root super fast pretty much 100% of the time and have hade no pest problems indoor or out. Hoping the new mother re vegges though as I had to put it outside for a couple of weeks and started to flower. Been back under 18/6 for about 2 weeks now. Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

Dude[emoji1] Not today though. Just need to McGyver a blackout of sorts. Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

Righty ho. Roots have appeared on #1 & #3 so I think it's soil time. Some of you that have been monitoring my progress since I started growing a year ago will have noticed I have a different light now. A few weeks back when everyone was scrambling to get their beans before the cut off date there was a lot of goodwill and offers of help going about. Was actually a good feeling watching people willing to help strangers. A few of you reached out to help me pay the entrance fee. Thanks to you all for the offer. Then a local guy I support soil wise gave me soil towards the grow, how he found out I don't know. So a big thank you to Jou Ma se Soil although I changed to Just Cannabis at the 11th hour. And the generosity didn't stop there. @Light It Up reached out and asked if I had a decent light and offered me a 240w QB for the duration of the grow. No strings attached, put it back in the box and return to sender after the grow off. Or purchase it if I wanted to. Speechless. I've already quit the pub and smoking next. You know where this is going. Big shout out again to the above, the forum, @Totemic and the sponsor's for such a great opportunity.

Week 15. And Mother Nature put @Totemic's genetics to the test again last night. I've experienced bud rot first hand now and gobsmacked at how fast it happens. Rained all day yesterday and I was on toddler duty and could not get to move plants. Then a burst mains in the sky above our nursery only got fixed this morning. Everything is drenched but a few happy farmers walking about. Lost a few good buds and had to chop 3 plants, stake a few of the heavier ones and moved them to my little work area in the yard. After this mornings clean up and inspection I think we all gonna have to wait another week. Photos are in no particular order. PS. I'm walking around smelling like a orange'y then berry biscuit and everything I touch is sticking to my fingers. That doesn't make sense, my fingers are sticking to everything I touch.

I think smaller companies can be flexible but corporate now days have to conform with health and safety. From my days on building sites we used to avoid the plasterers sitting area so that I did not have to kick them off site for having a puff. Then there was this antique rug restorer I used to work with in London. When she did her apprenticeship without sounding offensive with some Persian folk. Not sure what area. Anyway she was paid half cash and half opium which they, boss and all, would smoke during tea times. Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

I've always had good results with@Totemic seeds germination wise. Coming to the end of a very late outdoor grow of his GTH#1 x OKC. Popped 45 seeds of which 42 germinated and left with 33 females. Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

Yeah. @Light It Up has a cool one at 400 bucks. Awesome little gadget. Nice educational toy for the little one to check out how interesting bugs look on top of it being a work tool. Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk
