  1. I think it is more likely that it is a spam bot creating those "reviews" and not an actual person. Speak to BnB, I am sure they can check the IP and see which country it originated from and if its the same IP or not and do a bit of an investigation and possibly get some spam protection built into the comments / review section.
  2. You're wasting your time (and possibly money) by trying to use a phone to gauge the output of your grow lights. Unfortunately you gotta fork out money and get a proper quantum sensor if you want accurate readings. If the readings are not accurate or consistent, then it's really a complete waste of time and you might as well eye ball it and guesstimate as that is what you are doing anyways. A phone has a sensor which is used mostly to turn the screen off when you put the phone to your ear and to adjust the brightness of the phones screen, it is not designed to be able to accurately measure grow lights - which are generally far bright than the average house light as well. The sensor being used will vary from phone to phone, some may even have different sensors on the same phone model due to supply issues during manufacturing. You get some cheaper chinese ones if you do not want to fork out for a nice Apogee, however make sure it is sine corrected at least. If you are spending a couple thousand on a Quantum Sensor, might as well spend a bit more and get an Apogee... Keep in mind though that there is a difference between their original sensor and the newer, "full spectrum" sensor and some grow lights will require the full spectrum sensor to provide more accurate results due to the wavelength output of the grow lights (over 700nm). You could get away without the full spectrum one, but just know that the results may not be as accurate but if you want to setup your tent to try get an even output it will likely suffice and save you some money (approx $200).
  3. I must admit, it does look really cool in the heat treated rainbow colour.
  4. Very cool, I have taken a look at the Dynavap a few times. I started vaping using a Vapor Genie, so also battery free and you use a lighter. Little different as to how they work. I must admit that I do prefer the convenience of an electronic vape though, I find one can be a bit more discreet with it. The vapor genie was not good outdoors / in a windy place as it worked best with a normal lighter and not as well with a jet lighter. That really got to me after a while. Also the inconsistency with the vapor genie, it requires a bit of skill to adjust the height of the flame - which is both nice and frustrating at the same time as you can adjust the temp on the fly, unlike with an electronic vape. Most important is that you enjoy it though, I was never sure how well it actually works though but seems it's pretty good if you're happy with it.
  5. Haha, ahh shit man. I have had similar issues with the post office before, parcels being delivered to a post office quite a drive from me - but I have always gone to collect my parcel in fear that if I ask for it to be moved to a post office closer to me, I may never receive the parcel. As for the issue with making payment, I do not use Mastercard very often. Mostly Visa and have never had issues. I assume your international payment limit is sufficient? Alternatively, try a different card if possible or message them and arrange to make payment via Paypal or similar as a last resort. For interest sake, what solar equipment are you getting? I assume its quite a bit cheaper than getting locally? Even after shipping and customs and decent brands and quality too?
  6. Seed drop will be happening on 8 May 2021. So there is still a few weeks to go.
  7. Nice, looks good. A 9w led bulb in a lamp would probably work well for the clone dome too, I normally put my clone dome into my veg tent and haven't had issues with insufficient light. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk
  8. I believe the reason you do it in a certain order is to ensure you do not have the calcium react with other nutes (I think the potassium, stand to be corrected). They can end up binding to one another and precipitating out of the solution I believe. If the calcium is chelated (such as calcium edta) then it should not be an issue. I recall reading somewhere that kelpak works better as a foliar spray though? Also the benefits are only on new / young plants, as they get older it is pointless continuing with the Kelpak. I do not think it will cause issues, I use GHE nutes and personally I'd just add it to my nute mixture when watering.
  9. So I have cut the LSP now too. The Blunicorn is starting to look pretty good too: The Jelly Breath will likely be cut in the near future as well. Tent is starting to empty out now. French Cookies is not looking great, but it will be bud none the less I guess.
  10. Ahh ok, nice. Hopefully you get the right pheno amongst those 2 seeds. I'd say pop both seeds. Take cuttings before flowering them, label them. Then see which one is the better pheno and keep it. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk
  11. So a quick update, I have had to put the autos into the flower tent so they are on a 12 / 12 light cycle too. OG Kush - I really like this plant so far, the way it grows, the frost is decent (for an auto), the darker coloured bud looks great and makes the trichs pop. Even has a nice fade going. Gelato - it takes it's time, at least this pheno does. Looking much better but I am hoping the buds will swell still and gain a bit of fatness. Pluto cut - the leaves are quite peculiar in terms of their colour and the way they're dieing off. Seems alright but not quite exceptional, one of the larger autos out of this run. LSD 25 - I like the colour. Quite leafy though. The other smaller two auto's I ended up giving away. @Ill_Evan how is your auto looking?
  12. Very nice, just one Twisted Helix seed? Keen to see how it turns out. Have had my eye on Twisted Helix but never got around to purchasing.
  13. As has been mentioned, availability is a big one - especially for a small item such as rolling papers. Low in price and often purchased in smaller quantities. One does not want the inconvenience of having to go out of their way just to get rolling papers, especially a stoner. Also the price difference won't work in your favour, wanting people to move from a popular brand which they are very familiar with (RAW) and now paying more for a different product they do not know much or anything about... Not everyone is going to be keen to do so.
  14. Will post some pics soon of the end product once trimmed, will compare the sugarcane to the frosted apricots to the slurricane. They are all quite similar I feel. Exodus Cheese? Apparently it is Ethos, never knew they made an Exodus cheese. I have tried some which @CreX grew and it's alright. Nothing to write home about for me, the GF quite liked it though. Big buds, lacks the frost I am getting use to though. Potency was average I felt.
  15. Haha, yea. Better now with some plants cut. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk
  16. So quick update, no pictures. Life has been crazy, will try take some pictures as soon as I get a chance to. I have harvested the first Sugarcane as well as Slurricane and Frosted Apricots and the Exodus Cheese. Jelly Breath is likely to follow sometime soon. The Lime Drops were culled a few weeks ago as well as I wanted a bit more space in my tent and was not happy with the way they were looking and had stretched and were falling over already in the pre-flowering phase.
  17. Thanks, although I really do feel that strain makes a big difference and breeder too. You can clearly see the other 2 autos are quite small and growth has not been on the same level despite the same conditions. Once again, at this point, the autos cannot compete with photoperiods in terms of frost. I can see that the structure also isn't on the same level as some of the photos I have grown. It's a known fact that auto flowers typically have a lower potency compared to what one can achieve with a lot of photoperiod strains. 24% is really high for autos, around 30% is really high for photoperiods. You're unlikely to achieve these figures with just any strain as well, so on average potencies will be lower. What I am saying I guess is that you should try grow some photoperiods, you may have a better experience and get some better bud too - just ensure you get some quality strains from good breeders.

  18. An update on my autos, it feels as if they are taking forever to form bud! However it is now starting to happen at least. LSD 25: Gelato - finally starting to take shape: Pluto Cut: OG Kush: CDSL x Zam: Brooklyn Sunrise:
  19. For the price of those Apollo 8 lights, I would rather purchase a 240W Quantum Board for the same money (or even less, depending on where you buy it from).
  20. Good advice this. The next spray I would say you can do at a higher dose, perhaps their minimum recommended dose.
  21. Then I would say give Pyrol a go. You should have good success with it and its still early into flower, probably only lots of pistils at the moment.
  22. Pyrol should do the trick, then do a bud wash after harvest. I would suggest more than one spray, but space the sprays out. How far into flower are you? I used hydrogen peroxide towards the end of flower once with good success on spider mites. So that is an option too.
  23. So the thing with passive air intake, where exactly is it going to draw fresh air into the tent from? Through the zips? Very small gaps and not a lot of air gets sucked through the zips - Secret Jardin make "light diffusers" or "light baffles" which can be used as a passive air intake with a built in filter - that is an option but they do need to be cleaned from the dust. Works well, I have used it in the past with success. Alternatively, intake and exhaust fan to keep the pressure in the tent neutral and to increase the amount of airflow. As Prom has pointed out, the RH in the grow room will determine and affect the RH in the tent. So control the RH in the room and that will help, but one will require an AC or dehumidifier in order to achieve this and be able to control the RH. Temps are also important, do not want the temps to be too high otherwise it will affect the grow and particularly the bud if temps get too high. 480W per 1.2 x 1.2 section is good. Therefore 960W per 2.4 x 1.2 tent is good. This will lead to the optimal PPFD if you are using Samsung LM301B diodes. I have 4x 240W Quantum Boards in my flower tent and I am happy with this setup and the results so far. As for oscillating fans, I use 2x box fans in my 1.2 x 2.4 tent - works very well, a 3rd could be added if you really wanted to but I do not feel it is necessary in my tent. You can check out my grow thread to see how I hung them in my tent. White Powdery Mildew and budrot can definitely affect an indoor grow, prevention is better than cure. So airflow, RH and temperatures should be kept in check and controlled as best as possible. Alternatively and/or as an added precaution it is not a bad idea to adopt an IPM regime - not only for pests but for PM (powdery mildew / white powdery mildew). I personally like to spray with aq sf as a preventative measure, I add a bit of bio impilo to the spray mixture as well. If you do end up with an outbreak, then there are other products which might work better (quicker) at containing the outbreak - sulfur or copper soap are two good options but definitely do not use copper soap in flower.
