Bro real commercial growers don't dick around with these little lights. They go boss with Gavita 1000w DE, because that's a man's light if you ever seen one. You'd probably be blind after staring at it directly but fuck it. Yeah I don't know so well about bantu education that sounds pretty racist to me, you sure he doesn't wanna go to the next clifton beach expo?

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

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.

Ok I don't fit your fantasy profile. So keep smoking that tik in your moms basement bra. But seriously back to educating. You will never possess it cleary but should you decide to crawl out the works again then try take the advise cause thats why your little smug chirps are a reflection of your innerself aka vol kak! Are you triggered?

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

As Stated I follow the green rush . Cause I am that good!!! Any good businessman knows to conduct international business is exceeding business as I move towards corporate with haste. Buntu education may have dome people stuck but I can atleast point you all in the right direction. Or are we all to proud now?

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.

Need to drop the mic now. I didn't grow internationally and pioneer several strains to be heckeld by a novice fool . Thats Why I build large opps full time and you never will hey?

I didn't realize we had a canna celebrity in out midst. Couldn't tell by the humble name. Let me guess... Budding extract artist too. Why come back to SA then dude... The grass was obviously so much greener so to speak

Almost done with the scrog netting. Need some more guide rope. The Frankentent adds challenge but will make a plan.

Led ppl are so tightly wound... Maybe its all the blue light

Finally have a few minutes to update properly.

after an extended veg the ladies have settled nicely into their new 2x2 home under 800w(to be revised)

removed the led panel because i cant quite position it efficiently as a thrid light and think i will get better spread with a third 400w hps(see my swop thread, no really, check it out)

after i had the obligatory "i can sit in my grow now" bong or 12 i started on the scrog to one side, the second side will be completed today after the cooled hood install.
temps are wobbling around the 26' mark but will make a final call once the other side scrog is in and ventilation is sorted accordingly 

the little clip on fans from clicks work like a charm, need to grab a 4th, but will probably make a plan to wire it with the net in place so no holdup luckily

Outdoor charlottes angel doing well, in preflower it seems, lst continues

 

3500 for 50w, better be pretty frikken efficient to make up for that surprise buttsex.

cree 3590's are around 600 from rs components (notoriously overpriced)

I'm this much out of space waiting for stock 

 

Yeah just spoke to grow guru as well. Seems like everyone's stock is stuck in the same Bermuda triangle. Eta mid feb Think it's 2.4x1.2 for me or nothing. Can't pay 2.4x1.2 money for 1.5x1.5 just because it's mars branded 

Was just going to ask. Where did you find the 1.5x.15 in stock. As far a s I know only one in stock is the mars tent on hydroponic.co.za. Everywhere else they are out of stock but a full grand cheaper. 

Damn... It's been a while. Yet again

Led was just too much in the small tent

Went back to hps. Trimmed them up and once I get my arse in gear they will finally move to flower

Outdoor Charlotte's Angel moved to an autopot and is loving life. Top feeding if needed 

Ladies have gotten new pots. 38l fabric

Really a new experience watering them but getting there. Will be putting in drainage in the flower area as I'm not moving those bastards for feeding again. 

Snapped a top on the remo, pretty annoyed but taped up and seems to be recovering, at least it still has a few days pre flower flip

Charlotte's angel outdoor transplanted to an auto pot system outside. Not hooked up to res as yet. 

 

think i will pop my outdoor charlottes angel plant in one and see how she does, got a few lying around the garage. shes been looking sad in a 10l bag since her sisters got 38l material pots.

what nutes do you run?

I'm a huge fan of the Autopot system. As long as your reservoir is sorted wrt nutrients, then it's pretty much hassle free.

Right now I'm running a dual XL autopot system outdoors & a 15l autopot in the shed.

I would advise getting an air pump for your reservoir. It'll keep the water oxygenated and clean, if loadshedding hits, a few hours won't affect it much.

how do grow you in them, coco perlite?

 i found organic soil wasnt a fan of the wet base. do you add clay pellets or perlite at the base?

Cant compete with that beaut but I'm a Bong man. Sadly lungs don't agree lately so dabbing a little more. 

i wired one into an old halogen spotlight, but it was a 220v input cob, look about the same

This can be done, but you’re gonna need tools and some know how. I have a good idea how I would do it, but if you’re not up to the task, and don’t have some serious skillz, I can’t help. 

Its also not gonna be the cheapest build. 

Whats your budget?

 

im intrigued
