Just seen a really cool heater on Growell.

it’s a flat panel that rolls up when not in use and can be hung On a wall completely flat to it.

apparently been designed with LED usage in mind.

i think it runs at 500w but heats up areas pretty quickly and then just pops on to keep it up to temp here and there.

couple of reviews really praise it.

That is very cool. I think I am going to have to invest in something like that. Being in the far South West it is mostly really mild and I seldom need heat. At the moment I am holding my own with the heat from the lights and a little 80w tube heater.

Basic principle


take new pot and fill with your soil/coco

back fill around a pot the same size of the existing poT so you now have a hole in your new pot and medium the size of the pot the plant is currently in.

lift plant out and place into premade hole in the new pot and water it in.

It’s all in the first post in that tutorial (that was written by me)

So just a simple transplant ? Thought they’re was some special way then for a flowering plant thanks anyway I’m gna do it later the plants in need to do it too have only just shown some white hairs and not really stretched so fingers crossed they burst with growth the next few weeks before full flower mode

Some people have very differing transplanting methods.

By back filling and using the pre made hole to lift and move the plant back in is the least stressful way of transplanting.

I’ve heard of people cutting up roots, breaking up the rootball etc etc when this way works with 100% success and very little if any at all shock.

I give the roots a little rub to loosen them up I think it helps them grow outwards and to fill the pot better Dno if it’s true but I’ve been doing it for few years now happy growing everyone and merry Xmas

Same I like to gentle break root ball up on repotting I get the whole least stress gig but little bit of mykos in new pot & they start flying after few days im organic so maybe it’s irrelevant ..

Everybody has their own ways. I don’t use Mykos any more. But as a least stressful transplant the method works when used on flowering plants.

Like you say mate what ever works for you don’t forget to baste that crown merry Xmas all

Day 54 since flip.

Current feeding EC in the reservoir is 0.7 and 0.2 is the source water.

Dutch Pro bloom A/B and a small amount of MKP with pH down to reduce to 6pH.

nugs are rock fucking solid.

To be fair I’m loving this LED from Mars hydro.

Previously was using 200w CFL to start then onto 400w MH then the 400w HPS after stretch.

Apparently my 24w T5 is arriving tomorrow.

if it does I’ll be getting some Blue Gelato 41 from barneys on the go ready for going straight in after I harvest this.

I am having a bit of a time with my TS1000s. I am in the second week of flower and turned them to 90% at 450mm and they started looking a bit sad, a little bit droopy. So I backed them off to 80% and lifted the lights 25mm, to see if that makes a difference.

I kept a cut of the second but not of the first both were good I still have some of the first pheno left I’m saving it for a good time I still have a few seeds from the pack maybe find another just like her but the second one I’m gna have to gift to someone with the hopes she will be kept alive

I don't know the spec on these ts1000s but if they anything like the maxibright get it as high as u can mate and turn it down to about 50% then increase around week 6/7 to 75% if u can

 

[Ghettogrower187]

I've been sent this by 2 people now so it must be a good rule of thumb

I have been slowly bringing them up from 50% at 450mm for a few weeks. They had been at 80% for a couple of weeks and doing well. So I tried 90% and they began to look a little droopy. They are new lights, so this grow was always going to be a test grow so I can work out how best to dial them in. It'll be alright in the end.

Aye and all light and peoples environments are different so u never know what the fuck it could be, but I'm saying lights too close or too intense, they love the intense light in veg but flower not so much, its all a learning curve and good fun lol

I reckon at least 3ft away which is what about 750mm away so deffo keep it on 50% or even lower then about week 4 turn it up a little
