  1. Looks like a slight fade bro. The others are probably a different pheno as@PsyCLown mentioned. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
  2. And there lies the difference. A lot of overseas brands also don't take responsibility as well being that it's a seed, but they make provisions if and when a customer has a problem - such as replacing them, giving the customer a discount or free seeds on the next order (personal experience). Mjssa operates in a similar manner Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
  3. Bro I do the same but summer kills me. I hit 30C recently and it's breaking me [emoji22] Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
  4. Sounds good. I just have a couple of things I'd like to add, not sure how useful they could be to you though. Transplanting out of a fabric pot can be a pain sometimes because the tips of the roots grow into some of the fibers of the bag. I found that if you have a long blade or such, you can carefully run it between the fabric and the soil to kind of cut the root tips first, it'll make things easier when removing the bag and cause less soil to fall off the root ball initially. It just got a big tedious for me, its for that reason I went back to vegging in plastic - I also found that vegging in plastic develops a nice dense root ball for transplant and barely any soil is lost with no root damage. You could also drill small holes in the rim of the plastic pot for training purposes - it's much more rigid and works way better if you using HST. So yeah, I thinks that's it. Cheers bro, all the best. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
  5. It's modugrow... Just took a glance at mine, I think the one in the pic is a slightly updated version and the mounting brackets look a bit better but it's the same light. I did a small write up on the unit not long ago. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

  7. I've only ordered From Trophy seeds once, thankfully I had nothing to complain about, but I'll be steering clear from these guys going forward. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
  8. I've only experienced this one with mjssa, they also gave me a discount code and sent a free seed the next time round. I stand by their customer service, and I still have that affiliate link if anyone wants to get some from them Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
  9. I'm pretty sure that's a modugrow unit on the left bro Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

  12. I will gladly accept this challenge! I have a white widow auto xxl in storage, maybe I'll pop it mid year. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
  13. Plans are being made bro Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
  14. Tripart for the win... I started with it and never switched, lol. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
  15. Thanks for the info bro. I got the 88% figure from an older post I think. I rechecked the data sheet, is it 94%. I agree, their customer service is insane, I get same day (within a hour or 2) replies almost every time I message. Also,@PsyCLown Here's the spare part list, maybe you can find which driver it uses from this. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
  16. Thanks a lot for the well structured response bro, much appreciated. Let me start off by saying I agree with everything 100% I'm not saying it's "cheaper" in the regular sense, , however it certainly has a better appeal to people growing in closets, slightly wider spaces, or that just don't want to drop 3.5-4k on a fixture to grow some bud, you know - as for the price, the par map makes it he fixture look a lot sexier it, lol... Also, if you only have 4k to fill a 0.8m x 1.2m space, you could get 2 of these and create a really nice,even PAR canopy instead of saving up 1.5k more to spend on a huge PAR hot-spot in the middle, catch my drift? With that said, IMO, if someone wants a light for a regular square tent (70cmsq and below) rather save and get a classic QB288 for the form factor and output. About the driver, I've been looking and can't seen to find it anymore. It's efficiency is about 88% from what's in the description, and I don't remember it being meanwell... It was some lesser known brand if I remember correctly. Also, it isn't dimmable. They had the power supply for sale under spares on their site but seem to have taken it off. Anyway, I feel like if someone was going to DIY some strips and order everything abroad, this might be a better and possibly cheaper option (due to customs), with the backing of a South African company, warranty and all that good stuff. Any more feedback on this unit will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again gents.
  17. They're running an online promotion at the moment, they're going for R179 each. Free delivery on orders over R450
  18. Brrooooo... I managed to get this on a discounted buy 1 get 1 free special some time back. Unfortunately didn't have enough to get more than 4 though. I gave one away as part of a bundle on insta, gave one to a mate, and I'm still using the other 2... Need to get a few more
  19. Very nice Considering approaching some shops in Durban and hosting a comp for KZN after seeing this, lol.
  20. What's up everyone Hope you all are doing well and staying safe. It's been a minute, but I'm just gonna get right to it... So this beast has been around for a while now, and I've had one with me for the past few months. I'm talking about the MODUGrow 90W LED Grow Light. .... The unit I have is fitted with 192 x Samsung LM301H diodes as well as 16 x LH351H 730nm Far Red diodes for that extra boost in flower, all covered by an acrylic panel to keep the diodes safe, shining in at a warm 3500K spectrum. Its daisy chain feature allows you to cover your canopy in larger tents easily by simply adding another unit. It's also got an IP62 rating, meaning that it's dust tight and is protected again sprays of water up to 15° from the vertical, so no need to stress too much about accidentally spraying your light a bit. Keep in mind that the dimensions of this fixture (without the power or daisy chain cable plugged in) is; (LxWxH) 630,00mm x 119,70mm x 117,62mm With this in mind, it's worth mentioning that this light will only narrowly fit diagonally (in order to accommodate the power cable) in a 60cm or 70cm wide tent although this isn't optimal as the corners that aren't illuminated well will have severely low PAR (comparatively) due to the distance from the center and PAR rolloff. Speaking of PAR, this 90w unit packs a punch! Here are the PAR maps from the data sheet; It's safe to say that this light would be suitable for veg or flower, just adjusting the distance of the light from your canopy in either phase will have you set on your way to providing your plants with the light they need - lifespan of the unit varies, you'll understand when I get to the prices. .... Enough about the features, what about the performance? Well, for the 2 trees I had in the custom grow box (I built it to take advantage of the lights dimensions and PAR map), they seemed to love every second under it. The light itself has good penetration and I feel you could get away with putting this light in a bigger grow box due to its intense output - the internal dimensions of my custom box is only 75cm wide, 40cm deep and about 135cm in height (I had some issues or I would've went slightly bigger also). In veg, leaf growth was lush and green, stems grew sturdy, and overall growth rate was quite surprisingly quick vs distance from the light when I compared it to my blurple and cob fixtures. The plants love it, and the seem to be fine sitting relatively close to it - no leaves have been trying to hide from the light since the day I started using it. I guess I haven't seen the need to drop the unit any closer to the plants so it's all good and it successfully avoids any light/heat stress. While we're talking about heat, it was interesting to find out that this unit runs warm to the touch, even after being on for 16+ hours. I expected the unit to be a bit warmer, but I could comfortably hold it indefinitely even while it was on (don't do this though, you run the risk of electrical shock if there is a problem with your ground wiring at home or you have a defective unit). If you added a small fan blowing over the massive heat sink, the temperature of the heat sink itself will drop to somewhere around 30°C - keeping the light relatively cool, contributing less heat to your environment. As for flowering, this light hasn't disappointed me yet! This is my first flower cycle using it, and the Purple Queen by RQS is surely loving it. Internodes are tight, and bud development looks thick so far. I'm only in about week 5 of flower, so I have some time left to judge, although I'm expecting great things. Here's a short clip of what she looks like at the moment; https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjfZfIAVE4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link The other tree I had in the box unfortunately fell victim to a spider-mite infestation and didn't make it. I managed to save the Queen, but now there's just a bunch of empty space here, which leads me to this; My honest opinion is that, with this light in the right space, you'll experience the easiest 1g/watt you're ever going to achieve. .... So, how much does it cost? Not gonna beat around the bush here, there a few variants of the unit. Driver lifespan: 50k or 100k hours Unit: LM301H only or with LH351H Far Red Combo Power: 90w or 120w Depending on which you choose, the prices range from; R2135 for the LM301H only, 90w, 50k hour unit To R2785 for the LM301H + Far Red, 120w, 100k hour unit. Along with all that, the seller keeps a full range of spares on hand, offers a 1 day repair service, and offers a service to refurbish the light at the end of its lifespan for a fraction of the cost of a new one! Not gonna lie, it seems like this light has the greatest value for money that's available in SA right now... Oh, and its proudly made in South Africa. Hit me up if you want to know more or are interested in getting one already. .... Anyway, I've still got a few weeks to go for this flower phase so let's see where we end up and what the total harvest is going to be like off this small tree I got going. For my next run in the box, I plan on having 2 slightly smaller trees (gonna pop 2 wedding cake seeds) under this unit in the same box to better use the space. I'll train them for 4 to 8 mains each and throw the box into flower then. I'll link you guys to the grow journal once it starts, but for now, watch this space for updates on the flower performance of this unit on the Purple Queen. Thanks for the read guys. Happy Growing.
  21. Hey man, hope you're well. I've been running a MODU-Grow 90w LED unit for some time now, I must say - it's performing quite well. PM me if you want me to put you into contact with someone you can get them from. You can pick one up for about R2400... I say 2 should fill your space. Your other option would be to go with multiple 10w led bulbs - around 20 of them - perhaps Osram or Phillips. I've seen Migro make quite a decent light with the Phillips ones.
