Hey, yeah it is the 700w Sunplus LED light, however don't buy one, they shit.

On one of my lights, 3 out of 8 bars have had the 3000k diodes die on it, but like the entire bars.
Sunplus hasn't responded to any of my support request about how do I get replacements. The after sale service is pretty much null and void. I've done 3 grows with these lights.

For a R14 000 light, I would class it as pretty shitty quality.
It puts down the ppfd for sure, but in my own testing, the Lummi 720W LED which costs half the price puts down exactly the same ppfd as this sunplus light with 301H diodes with almost identical heat output.

Luckily I have so many bar grow lights, I just replace it with another one, but still annoying.

 

Yeah found that to, they also had a hue on the uv. No good. The Lumi Black 720 is the best light out there value for money wize. Good buy..

Hey,

So this grow is done and dusted, thought I would add it here as a start-to-finish diary.

 

Substrate : Freedom Farm Premium Classic, amended with Dirty Hands Elemental Blend at 1L per 20L soil and a rooibos mulch on top.

Nutrients : Biobizz (Grow, Bloom, Top-Max, Acta-Vera). Kushy Amino Acids, CalMag and Bud Juice Symbiotics.

Genetics : Mandarin Cookies V2 from Ethos Genetics.

There isn't many pics of Veg, because a cannabis plants looks like a cannabis plant, lets get onto the good stuff.

 

I harvested just over 600 grams in dry weight in total, 400 grams of decent smokable buds and 200 odd grams of bud and offcuts to go towards some bubble hash.

Well that's that, cheers for now.
 

Very nice bud. Tell me is that a Sunplus 650?

@DesignatedDave Give that man a Bells...

Yeah, been growing Andre beans for a few years now and so does allot of my customers. Always happy with the germination rate and end result.

All my mothers went compost heap.. people picked up clones... if somebody has a Deluxe Sugarcane clone going, please check with SkunkPharm to get him a cut.

@SkunkPharmI'll be able to help.

It looks like a awesome pheno you have. I would say your issue is ether a light leak or insufficient light. It has nothing to do with your vege time. If you are in your grow space after lights out it needs to be so dark that you loose your balance. You will be astonished how a light leak can screw with your bud development..

Not again... These guys came around... And now... Sorry bud.. If they did then they tanked themselves this time around..

Looking nice.

If you want to keep them small rather top and lst. Fimming could get you into trouble if your timings out.. my 

Yeah that helps.

Yeah. Problem is. With loadshedding.. If you standby ligjts are higher than the uvb the plant gets to much of the wrong spectrum in that time. It cost me 30% at least in density. Awesome as I say.. but not with loadshedding.  The loss in not having full light the whole 12 hrs is already a issue. 

UVB

Normal

I have also found because of the confusion, the Terps suffer. The THC content is better though. Very good if you want to make oil.

Nice one so far.. Be careful with the UV.. It screws with your density. Found that the spectrum confuses the plant. Only had them on for 2 hrs a day.. man did that screw the run side ways. Loadshedding did not help either. I will not use it again. It does not make such a big difference. Although trichome production shoots through the roof, the flower suffers.

Those little ones  look healthy.

Howzit Mr Dank. How did this go?

Well done on your grow. I have not read through all the comments but I honestly think that you have a light leak problem. Loadshedding is also a major contributor here I am sure but I see major light leak issues. 

If you are in your grow space after lights out you need to make sure it is dark as shit. You will not believe how much it will improve the density. 

Well done and good luck.

The babies a promised. Inhouse and Ethos.

Pic?

Well, 3 of the 5 replacements germed. Now to see how they turn out..

They were germed with 5 more Ethos beans. By the way they were InHouse and not Ethos. Had it wrong. All the Ethos girls germed.

I would say those Inhouse beans could have been stored wrong. The seedlings seem a bit off but they will be given time. It's really the first time in a long time that I struggle with seedling like this. I have germed Swazi beans that are more that 14 years old and never saw the inside of a fridge. So seed storing necer really bugged me but with this... Well I'm not convinced..

Will update with some pics soon.

✌

So the girls got the chop. Nice dense nugies with a awesome terpene on all three. The Boo Berry I must say has a very sweet terp. Sweetest I have ever encountered. A definite keeper.

I would say about a 20g dry per plant. Was a joy..

So the girls are in their final stretch.. About a week or so, then the ✂.

Below a pic update of the girls. They going into week 7. Loadshedding is a real pain..

@Prom and @Stinger96 where did you guys get your exodus cheese from if I may ask.

Green Smoke Room.

Well bud.. The world is going to shit in a hand bag.. So where ever you go... It's gonna be kak annyhow..

Harvesting some exo... I'm going nowhere..

Well well seems assif Nico from Trophy has a replacement policy after all. Thanx Trophy .. Will post some progress on the replacement seed here.

Def not the problem with Ethos. We popped 15 of their beans the last few weeks and none had the problem we are having now with the singles from Trophy. The others were in  breeder packs. These were in Trophy packaging so you have no idea what was put in there. But the wheel turns so no bad vibes. I just had to mention it..
