  1. Hi ..well done!! This is similar to how I am hoping to grow. Please tell us your final weight? I'm really curious as to whether I should go your route
  2. Thanks for your reply@SkunkPharm appreciate it. Got lots to think about. I'd rather have one bigger cheaper tent than a 2in1 split tent like Lodge 100
  3. I'm not an expert myself but have been doing a lot of reading about HLG lights and other LEDs The guys at Marigrowauna reckon the HLG65 is fine for 60 x 60 but looking at the manufacturers specs they say might be suitable for a 'small' plant. Also it's veg coverage is 60 x 60 while it's flowering coverage is 60 x 30 . That means can only use half your already small 60 x 60 to flower Reckon they get a lot of people buying the HGL 65 that realise after first grow they need to up the watts on their light and buy the bigger HLG 100 after that. Creating more business for themselves maybe
  4. Thanks @SkunkPharm for your comment. So you are saying 2 x 100w led lights in 60x 60 space rather ? I am probably going to get the HGL 100 locally through Marigrowauna @ +- R3500. 2 of them is a bit more than I can easily afford. The Groguru 300w draw LED would be better bang for buck - just way more than I want to spend on lights https://growguru.co.za/collections/plant-lighting/products/720w-cob-full-spectrum-led-grow-light I've read lights generate a lot of controversy on this forum but have not found topics yet that expand on the controversy Not that enthusiastic about auto's , not had much luck with them outdoors even in this light soil mix - in fibre pots : 3 parts peat moss 3 parts compost 2 parts perlite, pre-wet 1 part vermiculite, pre-wet The purpose of this indoor setup is mainly to sex regular seeds and generate clones & keep em alive for outdoor planting where my main harvest would come from. So auto's would pull me off that purpose The side benefit would be a small winter harvest either through putting multiple waves of clones outdoors to flower in winter or to flower a small plant or 2 in the tent
  5. Well.. my first choice would be the Optic 1xl but I only need one. (To get free shipping I need to buy 2. I'd need to find a buy partner - not easy as am isolated) https://opticledgrowlights.com/products/optic-1-xl-cob-led-grow-light-100w-3500k-cob Otherwise I suppose my next bet would be the HGL 100 https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/search?q=100 Some say that the HGL 65 might be enough but if I want to have a full canopy it looks a bit lean https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/products/hlg-65
  6. @Trailblazer420 I have read that a few times. Literally no space though. I'm planning to do this in my bathroom. How noisy is an indoor tent? My only other option is to put it next to my bed (more space) but I'm a light sleeper and a background hum is likely to keep me up.
  7. Yeah that bugs indoors thing is what worries me too. So maybe it's better to run it as an indoor setup and only move plants outdoors from it rather than bring indoors? I would purchase locally through Grohydro. I'd rather not take on the import... unless you reckon it's a whole lot cheaper
  8. @Q9550 Thanks for your reply Yeah it's R3990 so quite a bit more. The cloning area draws my attention. I'd have to get a small propagator to get clones and flowering plants going at once. Have linked a propagator that would cost R1570 Do you think it's possible to get an acceptable crop if I vegged indoors in the Mars Grow Tent and then put the plants outdoors in winter sun? (No frost here) That way I could do cloning + veg in the Mars tent and flowering outside in winter . Then flip to using the tent to flowering indoors in summer while vegging/cloning outdoors
  9. I am an outdoor grower looking to get into indoor growing. Mainly to sex & keep clones going till my next years growing season. What is your opinion on the Lodge 100 for an indoor newbie?? https://www.secretjardin.com/catalogue/growtent/lodge-small/lodge-100x60x158-cm/bl,product,300,0 It would allow me to grow one or 2 females to flower - handy in winter for an outdoor grower. I was wondering if vegging clones in a tent during winter and then putting them out to flower in winter sun would be worth it? I live in a frost free area Thanks!
