#1 Frosty Flowers

#3 Like a school group photo, the tall ones at the back.

#2 Haze for Dayz.

@StickyD420 thanks man! Second grow for me! Never had such deep interest in something

Still haven't gotten round to the farm. This weekend seems clear of cold fronts. Got a really smelly GTH male though. Being transplanted tomorrow and going into 12/12.

Last harvest 3 months ago, smells great and looks great too.

I'm nearing the end of my 2nd grow with these lights and buds are still coming out rock hard. I'm guessing fluffy nugs would be a possible way of telling the LEDs are fading without an apogee?

Grams per watt. That's much easier than sqm as everybody packs their sgm differently. If you have a 1.5x1.5 tent, but only running one plant... You gonna have a shit output. But if you use grams per watt on that one plant, you will be rather surprised. Maybe if I was able to control the RH better I would dry for longer... But still not longer than 7 days.

At this point you the hitting hight numbers, most probable we need suggestions from you [emoji6], just pulling your leg bro, jealousy dies that [emoji38] Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

If things go as smooth as your last run... You should get close to 1kg. I do feel your claim of 700g under the 300w is a bit hectic. At what point do you weigh your harvest? Im trying to hit 1.5g a w and that's proving excruciating lol

Agree with the bark(acidic) and ''nursery potting soil'' comments. Most ''store bought'' mixes are not ideal for cannabis-some are even lethal. Would suggest you look at aerating the mix as well by adding some perlite, it will also aid with drainage. Also with that size bag, go easy on the watering. Those size bags will take long to dry out, you risk the seedlings damping off. Those size seedlings need about 250ml every 3rd day only and no nutes untill about 3 weeks old.

Not even 'ultimate' grow, just 'a' grow. Let's get the basics down first. Look for cannabis specific soils such as Freedom Farms Classic, Just Cannabis and Living Organics. Or when you notice the price of organic nutrients, you may decide to go coco and use hydroponic nutrients. If I had to make a guess the Swazi is probably photo. I am not aware of an auto swazi.

Your soil looks like it contains lot's of bark etc which cannabis doesn't like so much in my experience. What soil are you using?

Hello Zol, I use the same thermosat my friend. nice work with the wiring. I like the enclosure and the plugs. Do you plug the heater into one and your extractor into the other one? I added a relay switch into the mix so that when the heater is off, my extractor sucks at full speed and when the heater is in; the fan kicks down to low speed. I have a panel heater and an HIT 150 fan. The humidity never climbs over 60% and my temp never dips below 21C. What else have you got up your sleeve?

Busy doing that at the moment. FCUK! Gonna win this one.

Firstly, I apologize for the picture quality, its zoomed and not meant for this purpose or taken specifically. I wanted to show the light praise of the leaves after the tea I make up. Microbes and Enzymes

Yummy looking nugs bru

Hope I can still enter... Plant power

Agreed. Those leaves look hard, could be N to as well. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

So I see Futurama have Newport Butane, I purchased and got delivery today. I reached out to Checkers and they have stores with stock and the stores without stock will be receiving stock. So if anyone needs, there are options.

Fully understandable, and agree with you. The very best dry process is slow at 18deg, and your nipples must pierce through your shirt, that's how cold it must be in there, and gradually bringing your Humidity down from 65 to 55 then 50, then jar. You want all the plants juices to slowly escape for the best smoke.

improved grow skill could account for not seeing any fade. diodes are rated with a 10000 h lifetime or 20000 i think so you are more likely to upgrade your lights before they become an issue

They do also Gram/Watt/Plant on growdiaries.com not sure what that is good for Gram/watt is nice to see your lamps efficiency Gram/sqm shows a bit how good you are

Nah, actually not 14 days at 18deg, 60H is perfect, low and slow. I've never had a single issue with my goods, and use the humidity packs after the burping. My process stems from many others preferred way.

I'm hoping for 1kg dry, Was about 600 to 700g dry after hanging for 14 days to dry, weighing, then jar to cure. Realistically its probably just over 600g as I had smoked some while drying and added that to the total without an actual count first. I'll be more specific and detailed and have logs of everything I can possibly think of on my now run. I want to be fair and precise, and not have any doubts at all. Shout if you have any suggestions to do please regards logs or pictures?

@Prom I know one should not envy, but god damn man you're doing some crazy stuff here!! I think a bunch of us will be acquire some autos for future grows, I know I sure am!

@Ill_Evan and now the police cap too, I'm dying here, whahahahaha

I kinda run out of space ^^ Day 7 Week 7 And I mean the top part hehehe Those Gorillas really enjoy them self without getting disturbed. The End is Near I usually use the tent as my dry tent.. but I think those Gorillas start to prove my point rather well Autos Rock! Hitting 80cm (soil to tip) now.. I think they will reach 100 till harvest. I might have to move the cam to the other side.. Fan and tripod start to collide. Tomorrow I post the week movie..

Very true, the naked eye would not pick up any differences over a long period of time, possibly a cellphone app for Lux as a reference only at the start at a given height, even though not something you can do calculations or bet your life on, it would show the degradation over a set time.

Looking good bro... But it also looks like your medium needs better drainage. If you're planning to transplant, I would buy some Perlite and mix it in a 50/50 or 40/60 of perlite/medium... It will help aerate your medium to increase oxygen in the root zone and also help with drainage by creating air pockets, also helping the roots to develop by seeking out oxygen rich spots. I feel that a medium with majority coco packed down can be quite dense. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Woop woop it's da police

Previous grow in cupboard

My Veg tent has Vero29 cobs running at 68v each - so 275w total Combined with a blue supplement from HLG. Also have my Anthelions on there but unfortunately they only used when I flower in this tent.

Joh, I see now he built that, which is why I hadn't seen it before with the ready wired plugs on ends and boxed. It looked that professional, big ups brother.

It sounds like the pop up screen is not functioning, rather than blocked. Had the same issue on Takealot, while checking out or something, regarding a window popping up and me needing to click or enter details, and it never came up until clearing the cache in Chome on PC. Possibly the same here. Phone being the difference and processes different

Humidity usually spikes when lights go of and you have "the dew effect", but with a heater and temp controller that effect is less, or something like that [emoji848][emoji6] Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

So a thread necro, although I do not want to create a new thread for the same topic. I am also trying to find a decent way to purge the butane from my dab without a vacuum chamber. I am intrigued by using Ethanol as mentioned by @Green Leaf Organics although unsure of how one would do this exactly an then the best way to purge the Ethanol? The next best thing is heat. I have the following at my disposal: Convection oven (preferably not) Normal oven (without a fan) Sous Vide device (to maintain an extremely accurate water temp) Stove Now with the sous vide, I can set the temp to whatever I want and the device will keep it at that temp, accurate to +/- 0.2C My question is what temp should one use and for how long is it recommended one keep the dab in the water bath for? I was thinking of putting all my dab into one of those silicone dab holders and putting that into the water... Perhaps in a zip lock bag with the top on to avoid any water from getting inside and possibly ruining my dab - although with the top on, will that cause issues with the butane not being able to escape properly? Alternatively I could use an oven, but am concerned about the accuracy of the temps. Hoping someone here can help. I recently did a BHO extract of a CBD plant, the end result was very gooey compared to the previous BHO extracts I have done. I also wanted to decarb it as I would like to make edibles with the CBD extract at some point, so I used the convection oven and it certainly got rid of quite a bit of butane and the fan in the convection oven I feel helped agitate the dab to help the butane escape. When I actually tried some of the dab on my dab rig, it was far smoother than my previous BHO extract which makes me think I need to try and purge more butane from my first extract as well where I just had the dab in a bowl on a waterbath.

That is okay, the heater will do that as it is burning off electricity and the air dries up. You'll be okay brother

Question, Do you prefer a gram per watt calculations, or grams per meter squared? Cause you can fit more under my light than a meter squared, and feel it's more about watts, as you go to large a area you just fluffy bud?

Sorry to hear about your troubles @DamDave If you can give me a screenshot of the error message you get when trying to upload I might be able to help you further

Yikes, yeah those pots are too big, too wet, and the medium isn't superb.

How about putting up some pictures of your plants man, it would help us see where they're at and give us a look at your soil... And yeah, MH for veg, HPS for flower. Also, what's you RH at and do you mean by regular watering?... Seedlings don't need that much water I feel. My seedlings spend the first week in a really small container and get watered every 2nd day. I ensure the top 2-3cm of the soil is dry before I water it again as the roots need a healthy wet and dry cycle. I transplant into the veg container at day 7 or 8 and saturate the medium that's around the transplanted medium so the roots search out for water. From my experience, plants that are 9 days old have been properly watered a maximum of 4 times. I use a spritz bottle to mist the seedlings on the days in between if need be. This of course is for soil. A hydro setup would be different. Anyway, if you could share some more info on your grow, that would help a lot... Those pictures also [emoji1362] Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

It's Kingbrite LED, you can find their products quite efficiently through their company page and using the 'Products' drop down menu: https://kingbriteled.en.alibaba.com/company_profile.html?spm=a2700.supplier-normal.35.3.71ee402doqTboJ#top-nav-bar Just understand, it's Kingbrite. If you lose the chip lottery and your LEDs start fading in a year, don't get bummed. It's happened to a few members on other forums that I remember when initially researching them. There are other avenues to source genuine LED's locally, whether prebuilt or DIY. It's a bit of a rabbithole but it is there.

I was using Atami but 300 a bag I also ha e to look at the spend, so changing coco supplier to a local one is of course great that I it’s self might bring a change to my watering I dunno Atami is great coco been using that for the last year with only the 3 part GHE and calmag with molasses. I haven’t seen any issues but then again I’ve never add to that formula to notice a difference in the plants and labour. Your recipe or guide on what I could change up would be great. Mixing my nutrients is a process of watching my strains a starting low and working up from there

What’s up my fellow growers. So here’s an update on my grow! The girls are looking good and are happy so far, had a hiccup but it’s been resolved atleast, I think my medium was a bit hot for the little girls but they seem Gucci now!

Yeah if you want to attempt to use lumens as measurement, aim for minimum 30k-50k lumens for veg, 60k-120k for flower. The sun as lumens is about 1k on an overcast day, 20k in the shade on a sunny day, and max about 120k lumens in midday summer sun. Again not much is useful as it's not PAR we're talking about, but to give you an idea just how much more lumens you need.

@oldsandals Hi there, glad to hear you have been getting some good use out of your press.The process you mention was derived and mapped out for a client based on the Nugsmasher process in this video attached. I have not personally been through the entire process. Interested to hear more about your results or lack of? If anyone is interested, here is my mapped out process being referred to which is based on the attached video . THC-A Isolate Manufacture Process.pdf
