I just ordered a 10t version 3.0 press from rosinpress.co.za Lead time 3-4 weeks but i got a R1000 discount due to the wait so a great deal. The owner Sean communicated swiftly and answered all my questions and also gave me some insight. Cant wait to press my own rosin. He will soon have his own pre presses which I'm also very interested in. Deal expires Sunday you can pay 50% deposit now and the rest when your press is ready just drop him a mail.

Hi guys, I have used F1 a couple of time and mainly with Green House Powder feeding and done RDWC with GHE also, for me these two nutrient line are simular, when I did run into problems with F1 it was mostly because I didn't bump the tap water to 0,2-3 EC with Calsium Nitrate from Horti mix, when I had a def/tox problem due to not bumping I flushed with 1EC (mostly problem was in flower) and PH 5,7, like said above I'll put in 1-2 liters and wait so all the coco in the pot gets wet to dissolve any concentrated nutes and then flush again with 3liters, then il flush again the next day and then skip a day and then again. Mostly I didn't know what was wrong but that fixed the problem, after that I can feed 1,8-2 EC from the week 4 and il even go to 2,5 but the main thing was at that high EC is to keep medium moist, any drying out will solidify the nutes and the the pH in medium gets to high ( hope my words make sense). When's that fixed the problem il play with PH between 5,7-5,9. Also I first mix nutes properly in bucket then check and adjust PH then wait and check PH again after 30, I check ph again before next feeding because it tends to differ the next time abit due to temps variables in the grow space, I keep my bucket in grow space, to cold outside tent and don't think plants like the cold water when the medium is grow temps. Hope my experience helps a bit, so we learn together. Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Hi, Thanks for the tag, @SkunkPharm Finishing up backlog on small lights and receiving the rest of our heatsink order from January, next week finally, so am expecting to have the grow bar range back up soon, and new high efficiency veg range after that. If in big rush for a small light, Looking at the links above, the one website is just random chinese crap. I would advise against that. The modugrow one looks pretty sweet. I can't tell what the difference is between their 90W lights, but the specs are solid. It's 1/3 of a standard 240W Quantum board light, for R2k. The QB-75 will be back next week, and is going to be R1250 going forward. Compared to the 90W Modugrow, the QB-75 is about 10% less efficient, and 15W less, but also costs R800 less. So it's a slightly different value proposition.

Very sexy! He just got another order

I wouldn't blame the cold too much in this regard. If 15C is your low end then I rate you're ok. I am currently getting as low as 13C and going ok Although temp fluctuation between day and night could be a problem if not in flower, but even then I've never seen problem unless you get below 10C. Them weeds is resilient.

Day 86 at the first spot of amber they got the chop. One of them threw nanners 2 weeks ago so chopped it early had a few joints and this is not couch lock weed.

First indoor harvest, pineapple glue auto ready for drying

I have to write the guys a recommendation. Every order is here the next day. www.marijuanaseeds.co.za Additional, they have Snow White Feminized as freebees.. and i only do Autos.. so wrote them, if they could exchange the free fem seeds with auto seeds and got Blueberry Kush Autos instead. from my side.. and if somebody is looking for something to grow next season.. you might want to give the Nirvana Candy Kush fem a go.. flavor and taste is very very good. But with the Post Office down and no parcels moving.. very fast and secure site to shop seeds.. they also accept Bitcoin () still wait for my Gelato and Pineapple seeds from fastbuds.. is in SA for 20 days now.. but not scanned into the system yet. I think will take a few more weeks till I see those seeds hehehe

I think I give those a go.. the numbers they put are hard to believe https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4000214530976.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.62c35a088UVHxM&algo_pvid=48d3ac56-f090-46a2-9c1a-0b8f966c99d5&algo_expid=48d3ac56-f090-46a2-9c1a-0b8f966c99d5-10&btsid=0ab6fa8115907396166023780e8ff5&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ wups.. is a german link.. and I have troubles finding the product in english description. My main issue is this one: Power: 120 Watt Voltage: 48V LED: 248 pcs Samsung lm301h led + 36pcs 660nm + 4pcs UV + 4pcs IR Flower Footprint: 4.5 'X4.5 "oder 5'X5 'DECK (2 kits) That would be 240 Watt for a 4.5x4.5..

Hey All, I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself and hopefully share my experience with you all, and would like to go on your adventures with you too. This is my second proper go at this, learning every day and always open to advise or critique. Nice to meet everyone and be here, Have a dank day y'all

Picture of the light from below if anyone is interested, mixed 3x 4K and 3x 3K panels and then 4x 3K with Far Reds on ends.

Welcome and enjoy bud..

I'll take your word about the Horticulture bit... I know that they are practically the same effeciency... Just the h is more efficient by like 2% or something. They are liked over the b range, but only because they are newer and more efficient and cost the same. I'd get a psu that can run all 4 boards at the same time... Meanwell have a 480w driver that will do the trick... Otherwise 2 240w drivers will also work... I would avoid getting a psu per panel for simplicity HLG-240H-48AB or similar HLG-480H-48AB or similar or is it the 52A you need... @PsyCLownwill know

@Dr. Green @Prom Thanks for the support guys, I really appreciate it.

And as suggested in the thread, if your floor is cold then raise them abit Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

@GGG they don't enjoy having cold, soggy feet. Raising the temp of the water is a very good suggestion.

Cool, with your phed water, first water so that the whole meduim is wet, but no runnoff. Let it sit for a few min for the water you added to stabilize in the meduim. Then flush until you have enough runoff to test the runnoff pH and ppm. Then depending on those results you can see if this is just a plain water feed, or if you need to complete the flush. But from what we can see, the completion of the flush is necessary. The test is just for your info

He recommended the 10t as i will be pressing flower and popcorn in 20g batches. You can use the 10t to press big batches of hash too. The 20t is too much pressure for hash, kief and sift

10t.. most likely.. taking it with a friend. Was looking for one and that price looks rather killer for the quality of the build. So Thanks a lot for posting!!

If it popped and stopped growing.. dud.. if never popped.. dead seed ^^ If you have waited only around 2 days, give it a few more, if you have nothing after 5, dead. Never had anything coming after 5 days wet. When you glass the seed.. i do not recommend to let it soak for longer as 12-15 hours. I prefer to plate none popped seeds after that time, keep em moist instead of having a swim. So not that you did anything wrong.. seed might just be to old, lethal genetics or had bad storage conditions.

And when I look at your feeding amount, can't it be that the amount of Phosphor you add, lock out the iron? Your very bright yellow center looks direction iron deficiency..

Yeah, coco and hydro are the same in that sense. The coco is simply a medium in which the water / nute mixture is held. Coco does not contain any nutrients at all, unlike with soil. @TheUltimateNoob so @CreX and I were talking and you're using Freedom Farms Formula 1, which isn't pure coco / perlite. It contains some amendments, if you're feeding according to the coco / hydro guide on the bottle this may be causing issues as the amendments are also providing nutes. Ingredients: Coco Coir, Worm Castings, Perlite (30%), Volcanic Rock Dust, Bone meal, Gypsum, Fermented probiotic bran. That is the Formula 1 mix. So I'd certainly lower the nutes you're giving, perhaps even follow the soil chart for the GHE nutes instead - I have not looked at what those dosages are like though.

Managed two clone 2 miniature pineapple glue auto just for fun, was lolly poping the big plant, the stems were hard so I plugged the 2 into a small pot been going strong for over 1 month, think the 1 is done and the other is halfway lol

Beside watching plants grow, I enjoy getting my hands greasy. And when I think into it.. a car is a bit like a plant.. can excite you to the max and frustrate you to the bone Any others in here with a need for speed?

The guys here have given you great advice, some of the best actually and for someone new to get that type of advice so early, is priceless. Those lights you show at the end are different, but a picture is nothing without specifics. Hope you take their advice and look forward to your grows you going post here. Peace.

Sorry for my words.. but that is some sexy shit!! Is a picture for a stoners rorschach test

Good advise I think i stick to the 240 i use on the TS too.. need one backup unit for all lamps i run. Where in SA is the best place to shop LED drivers or should I just do another import order for those 5?

No driver.. but you get them also with cooler for 10$ more. Rather skeptical about those numbers. the h also only seems to indicate the hydro section from Samsung, more environment resistance to the b version... but same light emitting capacity. Will even go dimmed option on the driver.. First I want to see those boards beat the TS before I jump.. friend has the b boards in new.. so we can even run a direct compare and (thank god) he ordered a good par meter so i can skip on that one.

Thanks everyone! You guys are awesome. The lights are due to come on in just over 3 hours so I'll wait for then, then get the flushing... Lol. I'll try raising the pots a slight bit off the floor to see if it makes a difference, and I'll test the runoff later as well. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

@Daan PosthumusThe QB-130 & 120W Luminus CXM-32 will both be R2500, and more appropriate for 80x80. People use up to 240W in 80x80, so it's all relative to expectations. The tent size just sets a max on the amount of light you can put in there before you get diminishing returns. The max is around 240W for 80x80. So an experienced grower can yield 75g+ with the QB-75. Yield correlates best to light wattage, with the QB board's efficiency important, but only accounting for max 18% difference in yield, at the same wattage. (That's calculated from the efficiency difference between running LEDs at nominal efficiency (65mA per LED) vs max power (200mA per LED). )

I haven't seen this site before are they new?

I wanna see some top-tier pressing my dude

Depends on your budget, but in comparison to what you have at the moment anything will do. You could use the current light to prevent flowering and let sunlight do the heavy lifting.

Thanks bro. I'm also leaning towards Mn deficiency... The pH wouldn't have allowed for uptake efficiently. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Nice brooooo! I was wondering how long it would take for you to show up on our doorstep

Sjo thanks for the kind words bro, always trying to learn more and enjoying the craft, hopelessly addicted to MaryJane since I was a youngster. The rewards of harvesting and blazing the kindest bud is what its all about, really lekker to be a part of the 420SA forum, peeps with a badditude in this game just need some better weed thats all Litchi flavor sounds lekker man, never smoked anything like that before, and with those nuggs are worthy of a sifting at some point in time! Those big ol fat leaves grow well in certain conditions, and shows that serious indica heritage, with this hybrid it should be easy to see the kids leaning more to the Electric Watermelon side and those that keep their fat leaves should lean more to the mom. My guess is that she doesn't appreciate much defoliation during flowering, sometimes the case with the heavy indicas. Its good that you got your favs backed up man, the only way to know most of the time is to grow out the prodigy from the males, assuming one male gets used at a time, or controlled breeding with all three males, when the traits you like carry over, then you can select whichever male to use again. With the elite breeding stock it might be that all the males do their jobs and pass on quality traits, from my experience, the fruitier smelling males do pass on fruity flavors quite well. Some breeders prefer the male doesn't pass on many traits, then select for a more neutral smelling plant, I have never tested this though. The gas flavors I have less experience with, but have heard that you want a almost gerkin smelling male plant, not sure what the Krypt is smelling like, but would definitely consider making a batch of f2's (krypt x krypt ? ibl) if possible, would love to get a male donor out there for my WeddingCake cut as well as my BlueberryKush. If you are keen we could try to preserve the krypt as a IBL, backcrossing to moms that are found worthy along the way. When travel is allowed again you are most welcome bro, also would run any males from your batch to see what we get, but at the same time, just keep alive what you can, the Krypt and the BruceBanners are legendary, but looking at your lineup, it all looks flippen Dank bro! I will have to take some cuttings from her at some point, so might have some rooted gals here for you when you arrive, maybe it will be for summer holidays! Sharing cuttings is nice way to set our own "forum" standard, and in time many of the local growers will prefer to get seeds or clone stock from the local breeders. If you dont mind me asking, which strains are the males you kept out so far?

My first grow , outdoor this year
