Ill_Evan Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 On 12/16/2022 at 10:00 AM, Prom said: Eskom really did this crap at the wrong time in regards to the growth stage and weather.. but at least the sun cycle played along. I simply emptied the Veg tent to the outside and shut it down for now. Might be over, stage 4 isn't a big stress.. for now they can Veg outside. 4 hours no power is a PM monster.. should have seen my eyes when it was raining and i checked on the tent... 98% humidity next you saw a moron trying to vent his tent by hand should have made a youtube video.. I think i just go for a solar system to backup the ventilation.. light is strangely cheaper to bridge, car battery and LED already sort that to not run into trouble, just not strong enough to keep things growing but at least nothing starts to flower unexpected. And went from Stage 3 to Stage 6 ^^ nothing is over Bruh, was talking to a mate and we were going to setup a grow at his place but without genuinely investing in an inverter battery system the whole effort would be a waste already took me so long to fully backup my own setup, even like you say if at least just the ventilation. Those humidity spikes are the real PM magnet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those humidity spikes are the real PM magnet. I don't like half baked fixes ^^ friend was over on the weekend. The issue is that if I would build a solar system for the grow setup, it would be way to big just for the house. I run about 500w ventilation. 4 hours blocks of load shedding would draw 2kwh but you need some more capacity to not cycle all batteries every time, that kills the batteries way to fast. So he ran into a power box for 30k he suggested. What I hate is that you have to re-cable and plug in by hand. Why not go for a 5kwh system fix installed with hybrid inverter for 50k? I have to check with the house owner.. but I would prefer to install all to the main house grid. Solar stuff gets cheaper and cheaper.. hope they legalize soon.. wanna sell some weed to finance the setup.

Bos Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Agreed, don't do halfbaked. Yes, it will cost a bit in the short term but you'll have peace of mind in the long term. And a decent system will pay for itself in the long run without breaking down. Whats that saying...pennywise, pound foolish. Goedkoop koop is duur koop, same in afrikaans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prom Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Will take em down this afternoon just before the light goes on at 1600. Had such a smooth ride till Eskom went nutzzzz. Time frame for the tray i harvest. 6 weeks from cut of the clone from the mother till flip on the 30th October. 8 weeks flower till today (10 weeks would have ended 9th Jan, my grow calendar helps me to keep track) ^^ Would have preferred to add 2 more weeks but the stress from the Eskom switcherooos pushed em into fade a bit early. PM also giving me a run.. enough hassle.. I get me 2 weeks of Xmas vacations starting today.. after the harvest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prom Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 Drying.. and in a tent without a carbon filter. You can't smell a thing really... NADA! I vent one TD500 into the bottom of this tent, so there is a good air flow. The smell killer is a Ozon generator consuming 23 watts. Very effective 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prom Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Couldn't resist.. but you kinda have to understand. 26-30% THC and 45 days to flower... the 26% are a bit high as a goal.. but 45 days to finish flower.. I wanna see with my own eyes. Got 10 Hella Jelly seeds from the Humboldt dudes (packed March 2022, nice they write that on), 8 popped.. https://humboldtseedcompany.com/hellajelly/ Edited March 3, 2023 by Prom added link 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weskush Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Got the Hella Jelly going myself. Fire strain apparently Edited March 3, 2023 by Weskush 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Mamma mia... those are hectic numbers. Grew a few Seedsman Lemoncello's, also with claimed high thc percentages. Had 1x pheno (and I didn't take clones) that eventually came in at 22%. We are regular users but nothing over the top, I had half of one joint and I needed to lie down....wanted to fall over, I had zero balance. Gooffed off my head. 26-30% would be something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send some of the weed to Qure and you should take the THC crown for SA with 22%.. last time i had a chat with both testing parties, 20.x% was the record holder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
