It will save you one or so transplants. How are you sexing them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea to be honest. I watch them, photo and measure once a week keeping my eyes peeled for balls or something?? (To much Google). That's why I joined the platform. Loads more questions and learning on the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreX Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Well, now that they are in a 12 12 cycle, you need to examine them every day for little white pistols. Or clearly hanging balls. The earliest changes will happen at the higher nodes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreX Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hit up Acdc, they have decent veg lights that are really good enough! Or @Master_G, I think he have a diode or 2 to string together for you You could try a dark spell to try coax out some fast showers. Put the ladies in a dark area for 3 days and you should be able to see something happening 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 12v circuit for all my light fans in my tents, quick and easy and brings the temps right down NOTE: this light will underperform in flower and a proper flowering light is needed for big buds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreX Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Coolest. The Acdc stuff tapers down quite a bit in the performance compared to other leading LED brands so just note that. Im not saying it's bad... I'm just saying that the higher tiers put out more lumens per watt and therefore use less watts per light. Like 480w QB light will be equivalent to a 600 or 650w acdc array. Quite a bit more expensive... But you doo need a powerhouse for flower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have something the hydro guys might be interested in. Just working my way around the platform for the correct place to advertise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's something to sell once off then check out the classifieds, tons of peeps go through there looking for a sweet bit. But if it's self promotional gains then you must follow the forum channels my guy As for the lights, where do you have your head at at the moment haha? HLG 550? Fluence spyder? Ceramic metal halide?

A once off barter or sell. As for lights, something easy on the elec bill. My 1st indoor and CFL with all the downsides fitted the budget. Looking at those E27 LED lamps while saving for something decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best place would be the classifieds section, central place for all things sellable. What you got for swaps or barter though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimateNoob Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Oooh, bartering... I'd like to see where this goes... And I need to go check in the garage for old, screw in LEDs Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to honestly get those plants in their final homes asap, as the 3 week stretching is actually the root growing that fast, and you dont want to disturb those root later than needed. I know it's more work, but I am only trying to help others. Edited July 1, 2020 by StickyD420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
