Landlord visiting in a weeks time so thought best chop dry n jar before hand , my baby ultra violet can go in the shed for couple hours when she's due and the cupboard gets filled with boxes lol probably won't look round but I thought better safe then sorry , plus she was starting to smell so would have been a bit of a giveaway .

But yeah all in all for an early chop it coulda been a lot worse :)
Ahhhhhhh damn landlords I woulda done the same haha I'm way to paranoid for that shit

ye i hate ph pens with a passion like how do u no if its in working order n shit n once got one thats when i found out about all the callibration and storige solution n shit way to comlicated 4 me lol
I used to be the same way I thought it was way over complicated... But started doing it anyway and it's really just a habit thing keep the pen in clean water and calibrate it after a couple months that's it, ever since I started pH ing my plants have done way better and don't ever get deficiency's or lockouts, pH ing with soil is a huge debate and I've determined you don't need to check your pH but you will.notice a difference when you do

ye it just got me discouraged after like a year of raeding i dident fi d out about calibration and the maintnence side of it my mom buys this bottled water that says the ph is 7 so i just used it 2 calibrate mine i hope it works think ill buy some of the storidge solution and the buffers tho and follow the instructions im sure if i run into trouble someone on here will help lol thinking of getting a tds and ec meter tho im hoping 2 get good enough 2 do a dwc

Not weighed anything yet but I'm gonna say around 30-35 g dry which is about what I was expecting for the light ..

I don't need anything extreme as I'm only gonna do 1 at a time , just a single cob with a decent spectrum to cover an area around 1m2 . There's just loads to choose from lol
Get a 250w COB setup with 5 cobs and do a cross pattern like the dude who does the tutorials on COBs. Less heat and electricity.

Day 61

She's been chopped :( two weeks earlier then I would have liked but shit happens.

Sorry about the early chop. Get yourself a 315w CMh. Its next on My chart. People are getting a Pound off them! and it's said to be higher potency from the UV light and fuller spectrum. You could drop 3 auto beans and grow them out start to finish with 1 light. on 24/7 in 3 months. Simple

Definitely gonna have to donate a few days to researching lights I think. lol don't wanna spend a fortune around £200 gbp , would go with hps but temps would be a nightmare In the cupboard so I think LED's my best bet

That does not seem like to much. Are there any grows that you can see them in use ? That would give you a better idea about heat and what knot.

I've had a look round the LED section on here , the cob talk is a little confusing lol and with the legality in the u.k most people I know who grow are old school 600-1000w ballast n bulb and look at me all confused when I try discuss them :P

Dude. That 100w unit doesn't look like that much and won't provide much canopy coverage. For 1 sqm go 250w COB kit from Timber or the place in Australia.

CFL's get real hot and blow off light in every direction with no real light power past 2 inches!!! They are not useful except for seedlings. Not enough light power to grow dense buds and did I mention they get hot! IMHO.
32C ambient Temp. is way to hot for what We are doing. Next to the bulb not a problem but, not for room Temps. it will slow the plant growth and in flower will burn off your terpins, etc.
I think that you need at least 300w Min. of what ever grow light for 1-2 small Auto's so you need to figure out how to get that into your cupboard without it catching on :arrow::fire::fire::fire:
