  1. Never done co2 before but willing to give it a go. Been growing indoors a few yrs now ek se. But helpful advice will be cool. What i mean is room must be sealed for obvious reasons. Wont run co2 yet but if i do i want to make it easier for the future. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  2. Might be, because he's posting on his phone's browser rather than using tapatalk. Tapatalk also has it's pros and cons, example, I can't see like buttons when using tapalk, nor the say thanks button..... But overall, it's still more convenient than the browser that glitches terribly... Sent from my ALE-L02 using Tapatalk Got it sorted eventually guys. What a mission. But now this is shit load easier.

  3. I agree that COBs Fluence light is the way to go. I don't agree with that other dude about diodes being better. I call chicken poop, diodes won't beat cobs. However quantum boards will beat the cobs. So if you buy quantum boards or cobs you'll be better off. If you going with diode LED and you aren't planning on spending 15k it won't be worth it. Just ask Justin how my 700w Mars ii series performed. Like a wanker... Toss that wankstain in the closet and upgrading to Gavita DE HPS 6/750 Sent from my G3312 using Tapatalk Hey Pat !! I eventually found you bro. I been wandering what u up to? Been looking on other 420 forum for you. Just got a Gavita pro e series 1000w DE. I hear you using Gavita too now. Awesomeness!! Im about to build a 2m x 2m x3m h grow room. And yes. LED not for me. Bought plenty. Got a 600w that gave airy heads. Now use for veg only. See you around. What LED did you use, saying "LED not for me", without actually stating the brand does not really mean much. There are many top performing LED lights on the market. You just need to head over to the international forums to see the grows they're doing with them. If you're talking about those garbage lights from MARS and a few other brands then sure. Burples are crap, state 1000 watts lucky if they push out 200. I am running two of my five quantum boards at the moment, each pushing out a true 300 watts per board (multimeter confirmed), they can be pushed to around 350-400 watts but they get pretty toasty then. Five of these in my tent with a combined output of 1520 watts, however I will dimm them down to 1000 watts to keep them cooler. 900 watts in the image attached, I'm waiting for my quantum sensor to arrive to get the actual readings. Definitely was not quantums. Was what was available at the time. Yes i have seen some great grows on international 420. I've heard about your lights. But gone the old trusted route. Hopefully one day we can compare nugs always open to new things
  4. Hi guys and girls! Hopefully we have some female growers here on SA420 too? I would like to hear from anyone using Gavita lights and controllers if you use them . Like how long you been using it for? How many harvests and quality? Did you replace bulb after a year like manufacturers suggest? How many watts it is? Do you use full power? How big an area are you using to grow, height too. Are you using AC? Are you using dehumidifier? Many thanks and hope you all have a Gavita day!!

  6. I've also tried all kinds of lighting for veg, but never compromise on flowering. HID has been tried and tested. Worth every cent of the power bill I get at the end of every month. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Trailblazer. See you also learnt the hard way? That little u save on electricity halves quantity and guality. I like u man.
  7. Have you guys tried Trophy seeds they in SA. Had delivery in 2 days before. All my seeds have arrived and popped. I wont mention names but 5 of us put R1500 each together about 2 yrs ago. And ordered a shit load of seeds. About 10 never popped. We sent e mail and they said sorry. They meant for souvenirs bad luck. Pm me if u dont want the same stuff up. Grow Bro.
  8. The cheapest is way to find a 2nd hand hair iron with a temp gauge and a builder's clamp. Then take all your larf and small buds and burn the crap out of them until you find the right settings After that you ready to go to rosin town.
  9. Thanks bud!! Sure I'll find my way around here soon enough. :-peaceafter another one!
  10. Hi 420 SA. Glad to have found you guys! Thanks @Justenhemp . I have been growing for a few years now. Was in 420 mag then a close buddy got bust so packed it up and moved operation elsewhere. Kept low key. One thing i can say is i have tried many different lights over the yrs and HID lighting always wins for flowering . For me anyway . Look forward to chatting and swapping ideas. Will be building a new flower room starting about the 20th Oct. Flower room 2m x 2m x3m H. 1x Gavita pro 1000w DE. 1x Gavita controller 1x dehumidifier 1x AC if needed. Will see how it goes with extractors and it in a cool basment. Couple fans. Hopefully 1x light mover. ( buddy designing 1) Think thats it. Have i forgotten anything? Peace to all. Exciting times ahead
