Good for u buddy

I'll be interested to see the difference in the next run with the new light and new soil I think it's time to change it after 6 years there about and the back garden will benefit from 140litres of Coco and perlite lol

It feels brighter than my citizen cob led build on the blinding u scale not exactly scientific


hahahaha science and maths.... my exact approach, nice to see another grower with "the passion" hahahaha... what other scales do you use other than the blinding you one... i also use "it`ll do" and "its grand" both solid i find..

Is that what causes the lines on the pic??? I always thought it was coming from the hps bulb and our eyes couldnt pick it up!

Cheers mate, seems to be running grand. Slightly warm to the touch but no warmer than the roleadro

i run around 21 to 25 with one 600 and up to 30 max out at 32 degrees, with the 2nd 600 lit, only lit 2 bulbs ages ago, too hard on the leccey, but that said rewards are there when you pull down, be intresting to see your take in harvest, if its a producer...

Yea the new veg tent is runnin about 22c now with the 2 lamps. Gonna upgrade the roleadro next, which will prob drop that temp again. That'll be the veg tent sorted tho, gonna run one auto at a time in there, make most of the space!

Still debating whether or not to build a cob to replace the hps I borrowed. Its 400w but id prob build a 250w cob for €200ish

wasnt fond of autos but got a few free off a mate that was in the dam, forget the breeder but they were pineapple express, flew up, got about an oz off each of them, there were 2, nice smoke aswell...

only just dialled mine in for hps so i`ll be sticking with it, but i do enjoy watching you guys builds come together....

started trimming.. wish i had an electric one now, prob 2 hours on each plant with my little siccsors, and its only round one hahahaha...

either way there coming down and going in there dry boxes for few days...

epic night of trimming done, filled a few boxes so happy there, some major colas considering...

jasus colas... remember when it was all about the donkey dick...

also i usually trim up outside as it helps with odour etc but last night decided i have 3 to do and going to take ages might aswell bring them in and do it in comfort, well the second i got into the room with clippers every friend she has decided to drop by for coffee...

lucky they are cool and know i toke so put the smell down to him in the hall having a smoke...

I trim indoors and I find the only thing that will kill the smell is the cheap ozo e generator I got off eBay leave it on for half and hour with the doors and windows closed on a timer and the smell isn't to bad the next day

not setup in here for a trim just i was a lazy fuck and wanted to sip tea and watch tele plus its cold as fuck out there...

be an idea for the next trim tho just to have something there in case, left a few pop corns in side in paper bag and when i came home the place stank, looks like its a full out of the house dry and cur, just thank fuck the grow room can handle the smell...

Odor leaks are a pain in the ass!! My trim setup is pretty basic. Big bowl with all my branches, and two medium bowls 1 for trim 1 for bud. Tv, tea and spliffs a go!

i`d say its up there for fellas getting caught, its prob my only worry, grand when the rooms closed up, but opening when in heavy flower is a problem, wel tucked away but it only takes one cunt to get a whiff....

how many times do you lot trim? i do a basic trim up first, all the greenery thats not frosty, once dry i trim again but save the trimmings for smoke while the buds get a cure, i say trimmings, theres always some nice popcorn too to toke, but i find i get some nice nuggets this way, pain in the arse and time consuming seeing as its my most precious thing these days...

seen trim bags on the youtube but for my little bit seems like overkill, also i wouldnt spend money on them, can barley get form wage to wage as is..

anyways done a flash dry of some popcorn and theres a touch of taste and a hell of a stone, lasts for about 30mins but its up there...
