Gotcha, I was going to say you might want a light meter to make sure you don't bleach your buds..... But that's sounds like a good setup with the light mover.

With some of the stuff out there I get your apprehension. I would've gotten most of what I got from glg weeks before at full price no problem. At 50% off it's arguably the best deal out there for seeds ATM.
Cannaventure is the seed maker I have the most packs from other than GPS. I've ran a lot of his older gear, it's all very good stuff. Outside of pure raspberry kush having an issue with a batch I think his stuff is as solid as you would expect from the lineages. You're in good hands.

I dont think anyone was wondering about that. You get 50% off first order only, and then you can still get 25% off the next, thats a bargin.
But I feel if you order 1 pack and tell Rusty about your bad experience with that other breeders gear he'll hook you up proper. He wants you as a customer and will let you know, no bs. He is solid.

I appreciate everyone's feedback. I have been lurking and trying to decide which breeder to go with and Cannaventure is the one I decided on mainly because of this thread. It was inbetween Raspberry Kush and LA Affie for my next run before I upgrade everything in my room.
I have looked but have not seen much on the Affie here. Does anyone know if it is slow to veg or not?

I just grew a LA Pure Affie and finished smoking it bout 4 days ago. I was brutal to the plant, flowered from seed, topped, overfed, etc. Took everything and then some. Gotta sweet, some might say plain taste, but I liked it. Mine was taken a bit early, couple hits, next thing you know, bowl is out and you are in the middle of doing something you was just thinkin bout. I kinda was expectin a cabbage head plant, down indica buzz, and mine wasn't. I think thats whats meant by euphoric in the descriptor. Slight stretch, but not bad, dense buds on a sturdy strong plant. I think its perfect for making some crosses, but jmho. Dense ole buds, no sign of probs, i.e. bugs, mold, ,etc. I picked the palest, smallest two seeds out of the pack and got this plant. Didn't clone, but def set the other seeds back. Again, jme.

Got some distinct variation, same conditions for every plant in my garden including the flower tent.
I forgot to dim the lights back down after working in there and pissed em off pretty good. I’ve also been forgetting to fill up my stupid humidifier so I guess I need a float valve.
Got a couple weeks for this humble pie to finish up before I flower these lvtk

Look up growmau5's led for beginners videos on DIY led. Im still on part 1.

Yup...HID lights are always a better option than space heaters in Winter. Heat .>and< dope. Can't complain. I ran a grow in my vacation/log home for years (decades..LOL) that paid the electric bill and far more...and kept it all from freezing @ 10,500 ft. Heehee. Two birds..one stone(r).....
I'm definitely enjoying the discussion and the pics of the DIY lights. (what a nice build SoCalJoe...was a machinist for years in my early days...freaks me out what we coulda done/what guys are making now on many fronts...) As I said though..I'm stuck in the old school. No plans to do the whole indoor thing again in perpetual mode.. The big COB in the sky here @ 7500 ft. offers me so much more across the board.
But fuckin A...if I were still in an illegal state and rockin/slingin'...I'd be playin right along with a room full of COBs. Way cool stuff. (like "legacy"...we would have said "latest fad" back in the day).
whatever works.... wherever you can do it.....

I really think there is something to say about hps inside and winter outside. Seems to create an environment that grows some impressive buds. I'm sure mixing mh/hps like chunky, does pretty well too.

No new lights...but lotsa new seeds and a nice little toy to experiment with. Very interesting stuff. Like "bubble"....each strain acts differently on it's own...and within that... each strain can act differently within itself with just a few adjustments on parameters. Still playin and haven't found the sweet spot across the board...if I ever will (LOL)...but yeah....fun stuff for an old guy who remembers the first "honey oil" he saw/tasted back in '77 and is getting a huge time trip puffin' on this shit.
LVTK - 3 grams or so here. (on left) Not the greatest producer (about 10-15% currently) compared to some of the others...but damn nice shit just the same. No matter though...I grow outdoors so I have a lot of material to fuck with in the end. Have yet to run the LVTK through the bags...but will soon. I'll also make some rosin from some of that hash to see how that shakes out.
On the right in the upper photo is TK#2 rosin. Again...not a huge producer...but wayyyyyy cool to see how it reacted at the same temps as the LVTK. You can see 2 runs in there....the first...ran @ 200f for 90 seconds and far peanut butter/waxy. The second run @ 220/120 offered more of a goo type product.
The bottom 3 in the next photo are Cannarado "Pucker OG" (Lemon G x Tahoe OG). Temps/times respectively L to R.... 200/120....212/120....220/135.
All runs for all strains were done in 160 mic bags. Packing in whole bud. 7-10 grams a bag (2.5 x 3.5 bag) Any tips welcomed/appreciated.

I'd say your doing pretty good bud. There's not much more that you can learn reading from here. You just gotta keep playing with temps and squish times. Different strains squish different too.

I am running some QBs 288 for first time on some OBS and Ca Orange bud, if I drop them any closer than 12in the leaves droop (the classic overwatering look) I have ran OBS several times I am really impressed with how healthy they look..

Looks deeeelicious!!!
Great colors. Looks terpy and full of flavor. Awesome job!
I'm figuring out the rosin sweet spot too, and how every strain even has its own personality when pressing. Currently, I'm doing 3 presses 165-170, 195-200 and 240 just to milk out any leftovers. The 240 comes out dark but its really runny, which is great for loading my NRG SE wax vape. I do keep the different runs at different temps separate after pressing, each in its own container.
Yours all looks like candy. Happy smoking!
Sorry Capt, my fault on the confusion, I think I said pucks at timber when i meant the growmau pucks at Rapid led. I was thinking of using a combination of these and cobs ,they supposed to have the same forward voltage and current capacity as the cobs. I just don't know what the best combination would be.

Have you got or plan on getting a PAR meter? Everyone messing with LEDs of any kind should have one. People have a tendency to put the lights too close. Around 1000 PAR is about right, any higher and the plant stresses, needing more CO2 above 1000 PAR.

I personally have not been using a par meter yet. However i have found out with one of those laser gun temperature meter's( amazon 20.00) i can keep a pretty close eye on canopy temps. Rely handy little gadget all kinds of uses. @nowastedspace any idea what that canopy temp would be at 1000 par? . I have been running around 80-82 leaf surface temp

Not really, depends on airflow, your overall temps in your room and humidity. As long as my canopy temps are under 85 degrees, but would like to keep around 78 degrees. I try keep my COBs about 10 degrees higher temps than canopy temps.
I run my lights between 12" to 24" above canopy, I run 2100mA drivers.
What mA are you running?

Sorry man i am not that knowledgeable on electric lingo . This is what i put together not long ago. 315 vertical cmh with a grow light kit from Timber grow light's (4) citizen cluo48 cob's with a HLG-185H Meanwell with dimmer. I call it the 515 Sport.
