Yea, no offense Totemic, but you can get 2x 150w 6000k led flood lights that put out crazy lumens and are just under 400 a pop. https://www.acdc.co.za/products/220-240-150w-cool-white-led-alum-flood-light-ip65?variant=20859630485581

You guys should really be moving as far away from CFL lighting as possible... That's rookie stuff that works In a pinch... High powered CMH and LEP as well as top end LED are the options you need to consider if your goal is top shelf bud. Sure not the cheapest... But you gotta start somewhere... But honestly... Cfls are not the somewhere you should be starting and or buying more to supplement Rather speak to @Master_G he has the goods

Woah!! These pics are almost unrecognizable compared to now. The super tall colas are all Aurora Kush... Seems to be a stretchy biatch... But stacks well so let's ride it out.

If it's for veg... Speak to Acdc about FL-150-CW Same price about... But I have vegged 20 plants under it like a champ and have ordered a few more for my veg requirements. Im going so far as using one to supplement my flower room currently... So for R400 it's def worth a look over a blurple nonsense from take alot

Welcome! Make yourself at home friend What have you got on the rise here?
-
Noice... I would even consider consolidation to even larger bucket... Ones where the volume of water in use is lager than currently... Do you measure your water temp separately to your ambient?
-
I like it! I still feel you should get a larger DWC res for next round... It really takes the edge off. Something like a 30l - 40l in that space and you will notice the difference. Currently I set my res up with hortimix up to 1 EC... Literally leave it alone for 2 months except add water that's been displaced... No extra nutes, no pH checks... And the plants explode like volcanoes.... Damn the efficiency of DWC!!!

Welcome man!! May the green be prosperous with you!! Maybe hit us up with a few highlights of your outdoor grow while you're at it
-
There are a ton of guys here with way better info and sources lol. @PsyCLown do you have any input here? @Master_G, you mentioned your lights in another thread @SkunkPharm, what do you think man? @Aeradix, what have you got inline with a 3k budget bro? lets see what these guys can do for you.... Guaranteed success

Nice man, looks like a pretty neat job too!! Let us know how it goes. Iv never played with co2 but am super keen to try some things... I'll be trying the sealed room vibe so it's on ice atm so I can get everything I need lol. For now, I know that it must be dark dark during night cycle, and that plants absorb co2 during light cycle. So I'm in the fortunate position to be able to keep my flowering tent open the entire 12h to allow for a much more stable co2 concentration throughout my tend during lights on... Sure it's still only 400ppm... But it's better than a poor ventilation system. Kuddos on the co2 generator lol... Ten bucks says you have an alcohol brew on the way in your cupboards too?

Noice!! The choice to grow will ultimately be yours... But for indoor I'd go for a more Indica leaning plant and take it from there... Lots of guys in the site sell seeds or know where to find sweet deals. Check out the vendor lounge on the home page. As for a light... 2k is alright but you might need to pull out a wee bit more for a light that will make you happy through veg and flower. Quantam boards are quite popular nowadays but even for the smaller lights you're looking at around 2.5 to 3k a pop... Totally worth it IMHO. I actually feel you could practice with bag seed and still pull decent results due to the decent light. Start with a sweet light... And the beginner grower trials and tribulations won't be so obvious and your learning curve will be sharper. I wasted money on what I thought was a good light... I mean it does the trick for what ever is under it, but not so much for whatever is not under it... And it took me years to figure out that my lights were my limiting factor in my grow... Imagine training weights like Goku uses? Shit lights are those training weights... Every aspect of your grow will be better due to trying to figure out why your plants don't look like the other guys online... But once those weights are off... It's game on and the difference took me from 0.6g per watt... To about 1.5g per watt... And with my next harvest I'm hoping to breech the 2g/watt Mark... Lights are the most vital aspect for a starter grow... Sadly the most expensive part too

What's uuuuup! Welcome mate!! What kind of grow are you looking to set up? Indoor outdoor? Give us some pointers about it and I'm sure we can point you in the right direction! When do you think you will be up and running
-
Lol so they just dehydrated lol Don't give us such a heart attack yo! Lol
-
Not too shabby man - iv just read through this thread to make sure i didnt miss anything along the way that led to your last update. Everything looked solid, but now in this last update the plants are droopy. i couldnt quite make out how often you feeding your ladies? you said you mix 4 different ph levels to balance the feed. but not sure if its 4 times a day or 4 times a week or less. the droopy leaves indicate one or both of the following - over watering or a problem with your root zone. have you just watered or taken pics during lights off? or have you noticed any issues?

Can someone explain to me what is going on with my plant.
CreX replied to Abraham's question in General Questions & Answers
Cool... Well you must know how it is! You reap what you sow. The more high quality soil and nutrient feed, the more likely you will end up with bigger harvests... Then from there basic training and practices lead to better grow skills... Then one day you just wake up... And the issues you used to battle with... Are now part and parcel of your grow set and are no longer an issue... Keep growing dude!! It's the only way you gonna get this right... OH yes... And of course, keep visiting the forum... You won't go wrong if you let us help you -

CreX replied to Abraham's question in General Questions & Answers
And they are in full flower. At this point, to fix the plant will take months of reveg and patience. Looks like a bit of mag deficiency along with nitrogen tox as pointed out by @SkunkPharm Sadly, I doubt you will yeild much from either of those ladies, but I hope your pallette has been wet and you are ready for round 2 Seems outdoor is your style currently... Which is cool... But with winter in the way, it might be best if you hold off planting new seeds until much later this year... If you are gonna use the same buckets... Then sowing seeds next year January will be your next best gap. Heed the concerns of @PsyCLownabout your soil... It looks to sandy and drainage is likely very poor. If you are going to use garden soil next round too(I advise against it but that's just me) then you must take soil from underneath plants that are actually growing well in your garden... The soil from a barren patch won't yeild jack shit. Stick around on the forum to expand your mind and improve your grow skills!! -
Iv seen trays before... But honestly feels more of a novelty item. It's purpose is a catcher for the bits that don't get rolled... Im fine with a countertop... Or my lap... Or I just try to not be a messy Boi.

I'm checking out your light. The interwebs says the Mars TS 3000 is a 3kw light. Is this correct? Edit - I read further and it says it's a 450w like you said... Im just still not able to fathom the quantity... You have really put me in a spin mate.... Iv been trying to find other examples of peeps internationally that make this claim... And I can't find anything yo. The best I can find is if you are getting over 1g per watt, you're doing great... You have over 2g per watt lol.. In soil no less... With a damn open tent lol... I think the your trick is autos and extended light cycle... Well done mate. I doubt I'll go that route though... I hate that I'll only have that exact plant once... And will need to keep buying seeds.
-
LOL don't put yourself down so much... You grow decent bud
-
Ah... Your trick is autos and an extended light cycle. Still unsure how you calculate area? How big is your tent and how much space are you using in the tent?
-
The report doesn't have your method lol. How big is your tent? What light did you use? How do you fit 12 plants in a 1m2 area... I can't do that with half my tent @1.44m2 (1.2mx1.2m) there's just not enough space Please don't take my questions as disbelief... I mean.... It is disbelief.... But I'm keen to learn
-
How many plants? How long were they vegged for? What light are you using again? Meduim used? Nutes used? I don't want to sound cynical... But 1kg from untrained plants in a 1x1 space is just highly improbable Gotta see some pics And I also don't want to put you down either... But if you truly did get just under a kilo in a 1x1... Then you need to teach us this method

@Kiteloop the option I mentioned in DM is a thousand times better then the options mentioned here. #no offense guys Acdc express Order a FL-150-CW I just placed an order for an extra 2 for veg. I successfully vegged 13 plants into a jungle with just one of them. The prices of lighting is madness... This light is R400 and it will crush T5 and compact flourecent and strip lights Let me know if I need to put down more info on the light? This light puts out about half the light of a qb288 301b diodes. A QB 288 costs around 4k for everything if I'm not mistaken, draws 120w. Acdc don't have decent flowering lights... But my fuck... This FL-150-CW is great for veg and has a rediculously sweet price point
-
Seedlings are a lot more resilient than you think... I mean... They grow great under the sun? The trick here isn't the intensity of the light... But more the light heat from your lights... But if you wanna be on the safe side... Start them far away under your grow light, and then once the first true leaves are out... The Lil seedling can get all the light she can get to reduce stretch... If you see stretch... It's because the seedling is searching for better/more intense light...

My 2c says there are more of proven guidelines for any kind of storage for anything... Be it seeds or art or books. If you want to preserve it best, you need an environment that is not conducive to molds and bacteria slowly gnawing away at your precious shit. So to do that, you need a cool environment with very low humidity. Keep it out of sunlight... And that's the only light you need to be concerned about... Doubt you're going to store your seeds under your lights either... But a fridge/room/garage light is not going to affect your seeds in the slightest. So the closest to this would be a fridge in one's home. Valid point brought up by @Naughty.Psychonaut condensation is a problem in a fridge, so storing them in the draw in the fridge is the better option than the fridge door or top shelf. Also rice and silica gel absorb moisture in the air/container which will drop the humidity right down. If I'm not mistaken, seed banks keep their seeds at 5°C and 5%RH
