    Yet another late night update. Barney's lsd seedling has joined the party. 1 of 7 to pop. Store you seeds properly from day 1. Lost genetics suck balls. Res pump bubbler and piping done for watering system. Flora grow caps are too small as expected.but everything else works well. Pump drains the res in less than 10 min so will play with flow rather a little. I'm eyeing my catering tray drip tray experiment failure from a new perspective. Perfect size for a diy cap and a soldering iron will sort flow quickly. Think like water Mcb... Flow Wall mounted my ballasts timer and powerstrips. New watering system floods are bad enough without being life threatening.... Power high water low folks... Always. Work in progress, pardon the cabling Sent from my ANE-LX2 using Tapatalk

    Can't wait to see the new setup in action.I can honestly say that after a week of 5pm to 2am of setup I'm dik of building, scribbling pictures and buying bits[emoji23] That said next run will have some tweaks Sent from my ANE-LX2 using Tapatalk

    well the repair option hit me this morning on the way to work, i cant say i was overly gracious when it fell, i will admit to being in socks and slops and it was , for lack of a better term, p03skak. so i didn't really look for all the bits. then again, a gold repairs to ceramic ala kintsugi would look fecking epic. i generally don't sleep much but the tent upgrade has me scribbling designs down at all hours, i travel for a weeks at a time and this thing has got to be reliable,easy, clearly labeelled,straight forward and most importantly safe. so i'm a little obsessive, to the point i didn't eat last night, walked into the house at 9pm after the scrog work and watering mockup, got busy with wiring the new timer(led panel doesn't switch off entirely on old analogue timer, constant low power glow!) and by the time i looked again it was 12 and i have been replaying the grand tour s3ep3 for hours....

    shot,ironically i upload insta pics to forum as they have minor edits done, whats your nic on IG. on a side note, Fucking bleak about that "clean" system, bumped my bongalong naughty vase off the table wall mounting my power surge strip and ballasts. i knew i shouldn't fuck with stuff at 1am but it was bugging me... so very very very bleak...silicon from here on out, im done replacing bongs, the heartbreak is too damn much

    Thanks Pat, been too damn long struggling with half measures. Spent way too much money trying to "find a cheaper way" and costing myself time, energy and double the money of doing it properly once off. i think that's why i'm so sensitive to the " just get seagro bro" growers, i was one. granted its not a credit card fuelled all out ,dual plenty seven watt arachnid branded led in a brand new tent,or a mobicred sponsored "grow kit" but it is the absolute best i can do on a cash budget, with no shortcuts taken. (no offence to the kit buyers, just saying this isn't one) Props to a really good friend for all the help, and patience while i plodded through my "i bet i can build this cheaper" phase. Mentality changed somewhere,very glad it did.if i'm doing,this i'm doing this to the best of my ability, with as little redo as possible. lol, thinking back to my bagseed trials years ago, between paranoia, bad growing and cheapy diy everything, i vegged 4 grows before successfully flowering anything

    A little update tent wise and watering system tent side mock up done My guesstimate of size on those flora grow caps was a tad out. Will test them and see how they do. They will work beautifully for veg if they fail here. Can always put in sprays Sent from my ANE-LX2 using Tapatalk

    new toys new toys.... hps lamp and a spare picked up, octo bubbler ,water pump,tubing, timer and flora grow caps. needed a diffused, semi automated watering system quickly, that can be managed by someone less, erm, resourceful in the ways of bodgery than i Considered a drip system and stumbled across the flora caps, now they are only 6" in a 40l fabric pot R40 a pop they will do better than most drip emitter at getting good even coverage. Proposed watering system: 200l primary tub, with air pump and stone - receives tap water, bubbles for 24hrs+ to de chlorinate 70l secondary nute tub with 700l\h pump - manual fill to 40l from primary(for now, will add float valve with tap) manually mix in bio bizz and either manually turn on and monitor or let the timer pump do its magic timer settings to get a full 10l watering per pot without flooding and res height vs pump flow will be the biggest challenges i foresee, and i may need a slightly bigger drip tray

    firstly, welcome to the forum . i cant really say i have grown seasonal strains temp wise, more adjusted the environment to suit. move light cycles to run in the coller times of the day , add fans etc what are you doing for ventilation, intake, circulation and exhaust. i have just moved 4 massive plants out of an 80x80x1.8 under 400w hps , temps were running 28'ish on the hot days no aircon

    im not gonna lie "go scrape it off your mothers teeth." is probably the best thing i have heard all day lmpa

    So you innocently walk in and bait people by implying your general superiority , with zero backing but your own word, continue to shit in your own hand by talking about pioneering strains, what did you do, discover a long lost strain, do you know what pioneering even means...then you add to your tower of turd with some bs about, again, unproven 4mil buck deals...now you clap ,wonder why your face is full of shit and play victim because no one told you not to... no buddy, the world doesn't work like that. i agree a less ego bound forum is the place for you, maybe start one, to fit that ego of yours, add a few bots, may get lonely

    Dude, you started your first post ever with this: Ok Lets school some people before some air heads keep us stuck in a 3rd world, you tube education nation. the response immediately evoked was " who the fuck are you buddy", the response given however was generalising and humorous you immediately alienated yourself against a forum of ,in your words, "air heads" there were no "offenders", only respondents to your offensive statements Race card you say that's rich, so far you are the only person to even allude to race.... I bet that the buntu educated also think cutting costs will bring them yeild? I think i speak for a few members here in saying that due to your intro, your geographic location and history thereof are of little importance,where how and what you pioneered is irrelevant to the discussion and whatever facts you may have had were delivered so badly they are skewed

    there's 1 benefit to my current setup, i accidentally pulled the duct of the extractor mid day, lights on, relying only on intake and ventilation and was hovering at 27' lights on at 25 ambient. honestly my tent is more pleasant than my house temp wise some days
  15. McB
    i know right, absolutely perfect. i keep trying to see where a third light would work best and the answer is simple, next to a 4th.

    time to upgrade those 750's to 1000's and free up some gently used gav's edit: i will start on a cleanse so my kidneys are market ready

    i had the money, and spent it on other grow bits when the box was a reality, then saved it up again, no stock, stock finally arrives... no 1.5x1.5's and only mammoths at twice my budget... a buddy saved my ass with the 2x2. would still be battling with temps and space if it wasn't for his help. ironically, i finally found a 1.5x1.5 so once its boxed and shippable i will have a spare for a cycle
  18. McB
    done, second day of 12/12. should pick up the hps bulb today....needs another light tho, dont you think
  19. McB
    ignorance is bliss....

    its called the "black friday tent stock shortage" training method basically you put off ordering a tent until they are all sold out because a buddy is building you a box, then he flakes because "its too big to transport" and you now have 4x40l monster pots in a 80x80 tent
  21. McB
    agreed, those 1000w DE's are insanely bright, as in eyes acclimatised in room of 1000w hps's and 750 gavitas and i turn to look at that and brain goes " fuck no, eyes closed.... now"... i felt like a moth,, oooooh tsssss ooooooh tssss. the only real reason commercial growers use them state side is rebates due to power saving nature of leds, look at any big BIG commercial grows, lux and gavita, rows and rows, 1m apart
  22. McB
    bro, i stopped reading your ramblings when you started with your insults and your laughable and condescending buntu education line, im just here for entertainment value. this isn't a commercial forum, even if there were commercial growers here they sure as fuck wouldn't tell you, so your claims to fame mean jack.
  23. McB
    while your points may have been valid your delivery had the subtlety of a glory hole in a glass door. your argument is lost to your attitude
  24. McB
    Thanks Pat, Hope so, low count high yield is my goal. itching to add more light but will see how they fill out
  25. McB
    so you are saying that out of your pick of currencies and governments, you choose to follow the green rush to the most corrupt mismanaged money grabbing,infrastructure decrepit country you can while still getting cell reception... also, its Bantu education.. "exceeding business as I move towards corporate with haste" i cant tell if thats chingrish or just parlimentary speak.
