I think I read somewhere to use within 3 days, dont quote me tho. And I did have a bit of a look online his prices are pretty reasonable if u factor in exchange rate and shipping for a kilo, but it's only good value in the 9.9kg bag imo.

Megacrop is fine sitting as a stock solution. I mix up 200g to 1L and it takes me about 2-4weeks to use. Green leaf is on the record as sayi stock solution is indefinitely fine and any fallout isn’t anything to worry about, not that I get any (apparently just calcium). I got my 10kg bag for under $180ish shipped from the us after exchange.

I’m more asking coco if the amcopaste he recommended can be made up the same way. Small plants mean small feeds and I don’t like weighing up ultra small doses by weight (>g).

Nah I haven't really, I only recently purchased my hlg lights and I'm pretty impressed with them hey. I've seen some fellas grow some nice pot under the strips aswell tho.

Yeah the strips use the exact same diodes and are a fraction of the price. Im going to be building one after my next harvest.

Exactly. Plus you can space the stips out a little more. Just finished my first flower cycle with 100w of bridgelux strips in half my wardrobe. Quality was as good as my 400w hps i would normally run in that full space. Already ordered more strips to get the other half of the robe lit for Summer.

How can they say that it contains 3% genetics from one strain. I wanna see the science behind those numbers.

Price wise doesn't seem much different than the hlg diy kits man? About 750+ shipping to make a 750 watt light, or can get a 620 watt hlg 600h kit for about 700 pre assembled+ shipping

 

[Lucky Luke]

Snap purchase today. For $200 seemed like a decent price. Been owned by two mates and both hardly used it.
Anyone able to tell me the Watts it uses?

 

[Papasmurf99]

I'll probably do 2 smaller kits though so I can pump more light with better spread. I wanna put about 900 watts in mine maybe even 1000

Good find Thanks mate!!
One just like it on ebay used for $700. I may have done well!!. haha

Should keep the girls happy over summer and should not use to much power in the small room the tents are in.

 

[ruby fruit]

Yea then u can prolly walk into tent an tend to the garden to I just like having a few tents in different stages

The dragon inlaw narked on me so had to move my operation haven’t had me own buds for like 12 months fkn sucks an cost me anywhere from 5 to 20k

Airports and automatic strains?

Lol airpots and photos

 

[ruby fruit]

Im the same would rather have 4 smaller tents than 1 big one.
Staggered harvests = staggered trimming
Plus different areas dedicated to different strains is easier if they have different flowering times etc

I only need 3-4lb over two runs during winter ...it's a gap filler for me between outdoor growing.
Perpetual isn't a necessity for me
