Anyone had any experience with these?? Given we're talking lights!

Also bullshit on their claims too. It’s a 400w light and definitely wouldn’t replace 4000w of hps. Would struggle to replace 600-1000w of hps.

They pricey ilgm the quality looks good from what I’ve seen, I’ve been holding off buying more seeds for now, looked at the collection the other night, got a few strains now I didn’t even know I’ve got lol, I take cuts of strains I like and either run them again inside or out depending where it’s all at.

I rekon u should brake the tent out mate can never grow enough buds lol.

soon as my outdoor sorted im doing another grow.

Fire would be good. Mine will be in a shed where the overnight temp can hit 1deg in winter so I'm thinking I'll need to heat it a bit to keep it more stable

Sometimes.
Im in shed and the temp is often around that temp.

Im in a tent though and use CMH. So i can slow down the exhaust and make the inlets smaller. I also have the tent sitting on a pallet so its off the concrete.
In the middle of winter i sometimes add a small oil heater in the room (somewhat insulated) the tents in.

Normally my problem is keeping the grow cool in Summer but this years not been a warm one so its been no drama.

Rain hammering the area again for the next week. Praying for a dry finish to the grow but soggy again now.

'Went to do a weekly res. change today in my F&D system & learned a very valuable lesson: Keeping things clean & sanitised is just as important as when brewing.

The res. had developed pale yellow floaty sludge that was blocking the pump inlets. I was too shocked & embarrassed to take/post a photo of that.

After a physical clean (dismantled all the pump components & scrubbed them with a toothbrush), I dumped the pumps, tubing & inlet air filter into a bucket of hot tap water with Sodium Percarbonate & turned the pumps on. After 15 minutes, the water looked like this:

Absolutely putrid! Goes to show you that it's the stuff you can't see that does the damage.

The plants have been drinking/transpiring, but the EC hasn't changed in the res. over the past few days (pH increased slightly). They were basically in stasis.

I've also given the res. & flood table a good seeing-to with bleach gel cleaner, a thorough rinsing & will now hit them with H2O2 before reassembling & re-filling.

I reckon the fact that the res. hasn't had aeration stones running in the past week (I dropped/broke the ones I had last week & couldn't get replacements until yesterday) is the culprit & developed anaerobic bacteria in the process.

From now on, I'll also be adding a small H2O2 dose to the res. every couple of days to stop this happening again.

GRRRRRR!!!!!!

You been around these parts long enough to know better. Plus you have read the Al B Fuct threads? Get disciplined mate, just buy a 5 litre jug of 50% and dose it every few days this shit is not rocket science.

Cool man cheers. I got some MI5 autos to try in winter. Never grown autos before

grow them in small greenbouses

I hereby hold my head in shame....

I have, indeed, read the Al B Fuct threads & gleand much...... "and some fell on stony ground...."

Just buy the jug and dose religiously, no need for air stones, RO water, unicorn jizz. Easy peasy

I have to get well into April by the looks. calyx's are just starting to pop, and look frosty.
Had a couple of rain showers, and strong wind. The branch that snapped was still hanging on by a thread and is still alive. Just hope i get through this week and don't get hit too hard by rot, then a few dry weeks would be nice.

 

[Lucky Luke]

Nearly there.

wish i could reach the back and stand em back up.

Yeah 100% on that, it’s 400w draw so close to that, just wanted something for the mother tent anyway

 

[Doomboy15]

Cut up the missus new stockings to make bug screens for the tent intake ducts... On a scale from one to fucked how am i looking?
