Sup guys thanks for stopping in :) , @newworldicon. Ya man I'm thinking of doing a couple indoor batches as well as starting up a large outdoor batch somewhere as well too, haven't found a good location yet can't do it where I live so I'm asking friends if they wouldn't mind a heaping pile of shit in there back yard :) haha hopefully I find somewhere soon if not I may resort to hiding it in a local forest somewhere but lots of things can go wrong like that. You say your officially a led only grower? Congrats on taking the plunge man! It can be a bit scary at first but I think it will go well for ya......what company you end up going with? And when ya say comm. Do ya mean commercial? Care to elaborate? :D @drgreener. Thanks for the tips man! Always looking for info from experienced. Scroggers......kinda weird being a new again :) any reason why ya think I should let her grow up a bit? Thing is I do have a height restriction and my lights are as high as they can go right now so I was just trying to make sure I have enough head room. @canabuilding. Thanks for subbing on man and let me tell ya I feel the same way man cannot fucking wait to she this girl explode! I got a good feeling about this one :D
Without giving too much away, it's all blown into 4 8x4 tents with a AF600 on a light rail in each tent. 27 plants in aero per tent. But all of this waits as I have not recieved the panels I originally purchased, they need to arrive, get sent back then wait for the AF600's. Although I am now wondering about the illumitex lights as wattage wise they will be considerably lower and in correct amounts more than enough. Still I have expectations that need to be met. It's a headache right now..

I should be more specific, the lights I bought were same as dawgs, the A51 260W but I have decided I may as well match the lighting to the space properly so as soon as they come they will be sent back and either in that time i will have decided to go with the AF600's or look into the illumitex....as you know the wattage savings already is going to be immense but like said, expectations make me weary to run 180W in the form of 2 poles across a 8x4 space without concerns about expectations...

these vipars are very bright I feel I need to start wearing uv protected glasses in there all the time I think it's starting to mess with my vision :S.
Hey curly, do you think it would be benificial for our eyesight to add cfl and so dont have temperory colour blindness for a few moments after looking solely at LED? Could this help with what you are experiencing? Just a (stoned) thought :-)

could be bud man i used to have a cfl in there i wouldnt say it really helped but it didnt hurt either i think just keeping a spare pair of sunglasses by the tent is my best bet :D

I saw your mushroom grow and wanted to inform you to increase your yield dont make those patties, get a 40 gaL tote and fill that shit about 1/3 1/2 way full with the substrate and manure and shit and you will get pounds vs ounces




If you dont know what a monotub is, I suggest researching and making one, they are super easy especially if you're growing bud on the side

A simple solution to reoccurring green mold is Martha closet or greenhouse setup, they are cheap tools and increase your yield substantially.( it is also much easier to contain )
 
Also if green mold is on one side of the tub I wouldnt worry about swooping on anything on the complete other side , Ive tried it, however don't venture to close as only a trained mycologist could tell the difference

I'm getting a visual...wait...move the antennae to the left...a bit more...ah there she is, what a beauty! 50 tops, way to go Curly, i'm very excited for you. Hey, speaking of visuals, I was hoping for some trippy shroom stories after your last harvests, where's the report on those?? I sort of miss those shroom days of yore, but it's been so long I would probably freak out now if were to chomp on some.
