  1. I would recommend a panel heater that you either hang in the tent along the sidewall or build a custom stand for it, then hook it up to a wifi Sonoff switch with a temperature sensor (use extension cord if necessary) that you hang in the middle of the tent. Now you have an automated heater in your tent that keeps your temps within a specific range and you can also monitor the humidity and temperature of your tent wherever you have connection to wifi. I found that once the panel heated up it would retain a lot of it's heat and gently let off heat once the tent temperature reached the cutoff point and only need to turn on again if the temperatures dropped too much. If the panel was on all the time, it would chow electricity. With a automated switch, it cut the power usage a lot.
  2. I bought a dab rig from The High Co and tried some of the hash pressed dab and jissis, this shit is another level neh. You dabber mense have been having this cool little party up here with this extra level of highness I'm thankful for my tolerance or I'd probably be fast asleep by now. I did over cook one shot and it fecked my nail up a bit but I managed to clean it out for the most part. I'm quite surprised at how smooth it is. Coming from a past of ripping water bongs I sort of expected it to be super harsh but a well timed heat and pull is great I'm never throwing trim away again!
  3. That LED will get super hot, there does not appear to be any passive heatsinks and the driver sits on top of the LED too which is generally avoided with quantum boards. If you got R4300 to spend, I'd rather get this 240W Quantum Board from @Light It Up for R4250 Here is a bud grown under this LED, mmmm.. tasty..
  4. I have finished the second step in the training process. Today I setup the initial LST to just start flattening the canopy. Next step is to wait for 5/6 branches to develop on each stem then top after the 4th. The manifold should be roughly setup by then and I should also be running through the Autopots by then as well. Right now since transplant I have been lightly watering from the tops, no runoff. There is one plant showing a small amount of stress on one fan leaf, but that leaf will anyways be pruned when the manifold shape is completed. Before After
  5. Recently finished The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2, what a long ass games they were then started Horizon Zero Dawn, think I'm like halfway but got bored. I'll finish it eventually. I try not to buy games when I'm busy with one or two but Steam specials get so good sometimes that I just have to buy. One of those games was The Outer Worlds which I have been playing the most at the moment, but I'm reaching that same boredom point. The most hours I've clocked on games is usually on indie games such as Oxygen Not Included and Rimworld, but I've deleted these games because they don't really have endings and are more sandbox games that just suck hours away from your day, so I felt I needed to stop. I used to mine Bitcoin when it was profitable but now I just have a balling gaming PC, so win-win I guess. Would be cool if my crypto wallet weren't so in the dumps. To the moon?
  6. Organic Tent™ update! I am busy waiting for the plants to ripen and then we are off to another harvest expected harvest date is set for the 6th of June. Can't complain, everything for once seems perfect.
  7. Observe, the results of pressing hash collected from the trim of my most recent harvests. This is the first time I have ever had dab in my possession, and this shit looks fine as hell. Too bad I don't have a dab rig! Can anyone recommend a place to get myself setup?
  8. Training begins! Each plant has been topped and cleaned, with two branches remaining to begin the manifold shape. I will apply the LST tomorrow. I expect the next topping to happen not too long from now. Before After
  9. The big tent is geared and ready to go Eight ZxP at the beginning of their veg journey. I want the plants to get settled for a few days after transplant before I begin training. This run will potentially be how I might continue to grow concurrently and a method I will try to perfect as I also try to perfect my selected strains harvest after harvest. If anything in future, I see myself upgrading the LEDs at a time that this current set have run their course and the next generation finds itself on our shelves, whenever that may be. The plan will be to top all the plants and again run a manifold grow style similar to that of the Organic Tent™. I am hoping that the Autopots and airdomes will provide vigorous growth during veg and make the training less time consuming. I will use two layers of nets this time, the first layer to help spread the initial manifold growth and then another layer to keep the colas evenly spread at the canopy level. A single layer net in the Organic Tent™ was only just enough but the canopy size is not too deep, so the branches managed to hold up relatively well on their own. I would like to get slightly bigger plants going in the big tent so the additional net layer will be a must.
  10. Wedding Cake weigh-in! Between the 6 WC plants I managed to harvest a total of 215g This WC bud smells super good. Sweet vanilla with a hint of that powerful weed diesel smell. Still a little hint of chlorophyll so the cure must continue! I have found that a minimum of two months cure is the sweet spot for an impatient smoker luckily I have a good supply now so I can practice patience a bit with the curing!
  11. Fantastic stuff! That Blueberry HP does look mighty fine
  12. Grow diaries where it's at.
  13. We should start a list of publications that routinely post articles "dagga lab busts" that never actually end with a conviction, and one day when the laws are written and cannabis is widely accepted, we can call on these publications for their shit behaviour.
  14. Blessings and salutations sir. Please do let us know of any endeavors you might have in future so that we may continue to support you in any way we can.
  15. Welcome! Do you have anything growing at the moment?
  16. Is the sad news true my dude?
  17. A little update on the situation at large. I have cleaned and reset the 2.4x1.2 tent and have essentially everything ready to go for the transplant to the autopot system. I have also upgraded the tent slightly by adding an additional 240W QB bringing the total potential LED power in this tent to 960W. I have eight ZxP lined up busy filling up their current sized pots with roots before transplant. This tent is up to a good start so far! I am having slight issues in the veg tent at the moment. I have 4 ZxP clones that are each doing different things and I sort of need them to be all level like the 8 in the big tent. I also have a handful of clones in the propagators that are also struggling to root. This started at around the turn of Winter so I have since added a heat mat under the propagators and I am heating the grow room itself as well from now. I am hoping that the heat will help the veg tent but if all fails I can take the tops of the 8 ZxP and use 4 of them to replace the plants in the Organic Tent™ and another 4 for the new 1.2x1.2 I have setup and ready to go. This route will delay the 1.2x1.2 I have ready to go but I also just recently ordered some new seeds due to arrive soon so...maybe I take this as an opportunity to instead pop some seeds
  18. That's just draft law. Currently there are no written laws as to the amounts allowed for personal cultivation. The cops usually make a judgement call at the time and everything is pretty much determined in court. Rather follow the advice posted by @Naughty.Psychonaut above, it's the best course of action. Although in those situations you're likely to at least lose all your equipment, but you are likely not to be convicted and serve time.
  19. It's no problem man I'm just busting balls
  20. Hey, buddy! This is a DIY thread!
  21. Reading my mind! Up until now I was doing a staggered perpetual and doing 6 plants at a time, 18 total at different stages of flower in the flower tent but now that I have finally got the tent empty I want to grow all the plants at the same phase. This will allow me to have some time in veg stage instead of being forced to flower immediately upon entry into flower tent. The other adjustment I am using is to do fewer plants. I am going to replicate what's going on in the Organic Tent™ and do 4 plants per 1.2m² instead of 9. This will be due to the extra veg time, the plants will each get much bigger so having some extra space would be great. I would also like to do a similar training style with the manifold to increase the per plant average. I think ironically the overall yield by doing the above will perform much better than more plants growing el natural.
  22. As far as the article explains the cops only looked into the property because of an "odor" and then they reacted swiftly. I'm not sure how they would get evidence of the person dealing from only finding a grow room and extraction equipment because as far as anybody knows the person and their family has a huge apatite for the 'ol cannabis bush. There's always these articles of okes getting caught, but I never see them brag about people being actually convicted or serving time give me cases!
