So catastrophic failure. Was running 2 50W el cheapo acdc lights I got from a friend in the veg space together with my 4 12W diy mica jobbie, and they gave in.

Got two 18W led striplights up in the mean time till I can get something better.




Say no to these. Even if they are free. Lasted about 2 months.

Almost back to where I started


Some good news, with the ventilation in the flower compartment it’s looking a lot friendlier. Now I just have to get them graduating to there

oh man, having light troubles can really suck hey

if you got like R4 / 500 in your pocket and wana make it through, I would suggest looking at the incased LED flood lights, aim for the IP65 ones that means its weather proof and built to last. you not gona get it wet, but trust me you don't wana save R100 and then only have the light last another 2 months. 

I got a 50w floodlight for R450 a while ago when I built a grow box myself. 

still running strong

I haven't flowered under it, but it's cool white spectrum and got my plants vegging like magic, there's a thread on it I can link you to if you wana check it out.

you could possibly get 2 of them, one cool white and a warm white. comes flower time you put both

hahah hell yeah bud, 

right K for veg?

make note of the 20000h it states on the box, they usually come with a warrenty so if it runs out before hitting those numbers you just run and get a new one.

As I understand cool white for veg to get tight internodes. I dit behave a lot of height in my setup so tight nodes and a lot of training is the order of the day

yeah, rule of thumb is 

cool colours for veg

warm colours for flower.

excited to see what she does for you

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.

So the girls looking a bit lanky. Moved them closer to the lights up on paint cans so they can see the lemon haze auto behind them

i think you should be using that 75w right now for your veg ladies, unless you have plants in flower right now?

also, not sure about that LED light you got, i think as soon as you can you should buy another 75w or something beefier. it will transform your grow!!

the 50w light may also be a bit under powered so you may want to lower it a bit.

do you have a phone lux meter?  you can get a free one from that app store... your seedlings should be getting around 10-15k lumens for good growth

and good call on not buying anymore acdc cheapos! the better ACDC light would have been the FL-150-CW...i have a few of them in use for a few years already

Have got a couple of ladies under the 75er running a test flower.


Got the 50W and 4x12W for the veg space atm.

The lemon haze auto is about a week from done. Watched the migro about optimizing height for your light setup using a phone. Been meaning to get to that. Once the auto is done it’s that setup and repotting.

I love this photo man. From the white brick background to the white pebbles in the pots. Taking cannabis bonsai to a whole new level.

Well done

[Pants]

Thanks man. Actually need to invest in prettier pots. Recycled garden plant pots are getting old

Your roots are amazing! What microbes you feeding in there? 

[Pants]

Thanks. I was also surprised to to see that. Started with mycos and the biodyne enviroc 401, about 2ml per liter. In orgasoilux

Update time. Can’t believe it’s been another week. In general seems I overwatered when I uppotted and that stunted the growth for a couple of days. Still just rainwater with calmag and the microbes. Harvested the lemon haze auto so they got most of the space to themselves now

#1. First out the gate and settled nicely. Got a FIM.


#2 got a little hurt during the transplant and some leaves fell off. She’s falling behind and might leave the competition


#3 the runt, last out the gates but has taken the lead. Doing LST on her

The pics look dark cause the spotlights have shitty drivers that shows up as black lines on photos, so turned them off for the photos
