Oh well better stay in today cos Storm Jonas has arrived like they predicted and its battering the hell out of Wales....someones wheelie-bin has even fell over!! lol...
Who gives these storms all these names?
They even give out crappy names to british made storms now lol

lol the storm names go in alphabetical order, so name starting with "A" first, then a B name, then a C name etc etc then after Z they start back at "A" again

Yeah most can't take over 1ml. However Critical is one hungry bitch. My first ever harvest was critical and they got deficient a bit before flower but once I'd transplanted them into wetter new soil they took off.

Did you use the All Mix or Light mix? My blue rhino clones find the light mix a bit strong and I've rinsed it a bit prior to using! Rockwool set at EC 0.6-0.8 doesn't give me this problem! Lol

Anyway, Valleys plants are gonna be fine, I said to him days ago that they just need to establish themselves and will look better as they air out.

Anything Critical here is deemed too commercial and it's hard to get really good money for it. There's so many crosses though which is good as it adds speed and heavier yield. I like channel plus also.

Yeah used light,all and batmix over the years, Blue strains seem to be more fickle than some others ive found n skunks n kushes seem to be able to handle the extra feed better

There was a guy on RIU that got scabies and he thought it was from the Guano bat shit mix. Putrid. Please wear gloves and wash afterwards! Lol

I used Biobizz light mix this time, first time ive used it for flowering..bought a few bags because i thought it would be kinder for clones, then cos i had few bags left i used them..
Always used canna pro before so maybe this is why ive only had pale plants on this re-pot.

Yet again a other order come with in two days of ordering the bean's og-kush,a long with 5 free thc snow,the seed's are all good looking has per usual ,never had any seeds of marijunaseedsnl that have not been high quality.Just under £20.00 for 15 seed's they have got a offer on there amnesia haze has well at the minute,great strain that from them,but i only run it the once it took too long for me,i'm a 10 week max flowering grower,aint got time to flower for that long,in the u-k it's a case of good genetic's but what flower in quick time,every crop is a risk,

With light mix i found you have to feed even seedlings from the second they are repotted whereas Allmix will keep a seedling going for a week or 2 etc

there u go man ur soil was weak as shit to begin with then the second watering after transplant washed out what ud left in your medium.you should really only use the light mix for cuttings n vegging

Yeah than just bump up your feed slightly to 2-3ml/L n it should slowly come round, oh n if you are gonna be flowering in light mix you are gonna have to be bang on schedule with feeding them (well)
or they will start yellowing VERY quickly where light mix doesnt hold enough in the soil for too long etc

Go over to the LED forum on here and look for the Guides by SupraSPL, Greengenes707(pacificlightingconcepts.com), Realstyles and Rahz on building your own COB lights

or alternatively go buy a ready made Area 51 COB LED (Eraserhead on this forum) or Pacific lighting concepts etc

I did this and now I have some truly amazing lights. HID is for street lamps- and COB LED will put them out to pasture from that job soon enough, too.

The only thing you'll regret is waiting, mate. My 200W modules are easily as bright as my (admittedly tired) 600W HPS bulb and the spectrum is so much more pleasant to work under.

 

[Labs Dexter]

Hey guys I need a new bulb this spring, and was wondering if anyone has any xp with super hps bulbs are they good and better than a standard red hps bulb?

I have no idea what I'm looking at with regards to building a light could I build one within my budget of £200 to fit my 4x2 space ?

Couldn't find Area 51 lights anywhere all sold out

 

[theslipperbandit]

Cob lights are crazy expensive to buy 500+ so you're better off making your own as already stated the led section will be great for information n the lads are super helpful

there is a known backlog since demand is outstripping production currently, if you mesaage the website they will give you an idea of the delay, think it was a fortnight or so roughly between ordering n lights being sent otu

Yeah I've heard and I would love to build a cob but it scares me I'm not really good with electrics I just don't understand any of it I've looked at the tutorials and they make it look easy lol if I could get all parts for £200-£250 I would love to build one would need a bit of guidance by someone who's willing to take the time to help me but that's not going to happen I'll just have to keep researching and learning and hopefully some time I'll have enough knowledge to build one thanks
