So Eon sent the Mrs a letter saying that they're phasing out their meters (yada yada yada) and want to come fit a smart meter.




Then I spent 15 hours learning how to hack em.




Yeah, they're pretty much wide open.

But like I said as long as is smokeable then it's been a success for me, I'll move on and improve on the next grow.

"Smokable" is subjective mate, as is "success", personally I'd have binned 2/3rds of that and the top bits left over would go on the hash pile.

All dried out that looks to be a Q if you're lucky, a Q of green stuff, no quality.






Depending on how many plants under your 400w bulb each go it seems that it's probably costing you more in electricity to try grow your own gash than you would spend buying something half right off the street.

Given this factor I don't see how anybody could view it as a success.

For not much coin you could up your air flow that'd probs help the twmps. But I dunno your set up?!
Got a 3x3x5 roughly, 400watt HPS, 4" exctracting out the window.

The temps were OK up until flower, then I had to open the tent for space and it just fucked with them completely. Managed to get them under control for a few weeks but then suddenly they're up around 30s again, nothing has changed at all. Can get a bigger extractor fan for around £40, been looking into it. Gunna see how things go with less in there, might even just run one plant and then there's no worry about space.

They're Dr Undrground not Krippling. And I have 2 of each of them. Not sure why it says Krippling, just checked on the website and it's def Dr Underground.

Well I'll see how it smokes in a week or two.

I've not killed them and they looked great until flowering. I think I know what the problems were , so as long as I can get them under control next time my end yield should be better quality. Like I said, the other two that were in the tent look much better, the buds aren't airy. Can see what you think once I chop them.

I don't think many new growers get great results unless they have physical help. And not many will share if it's not great. Doesn't matter what your doing, you got to learn first, might know what a problem is when it arises, but it's another knowing how to fix it quickly and effectively.

Back two were the ones without LST.

Edit: Can see the back two bending at the edge of the tent. I should of got rid of the back two and focused on the front two which had the potential for more colas, I'd of had room to tie down branches and even out the canopy later on. But that's another experience thing, I'd always of been thinking I could of potentially thrown away some smoke, when I moved one out I probably should of just chucked it but it's a fairly big thing to do, throw away 1/4 of your first grow.

aye up the extractrion move more air through, mind you if it's drawing ambient house heat it may not work.

Gunna clear the room completely and try position the tent a bit better when I can. Just seems random at times, heating on or off and outside temps seem to play no part, obvs got the rad off in there lol. It is a small house so does get warm quicker, but so unpredictable.

Had a convo few weeks back, if I were to get a new bigger fan I could use the old fan t pull some cool air in.
