Them are some nice pannels buddy I just got a amare 450+unb for $500 of a buddy only use 30 days and they run $1145 not sure y he didn't go with ones u got look awesome well good luckWelcome to my journal..!
This is the only place where I do my journals, so you people of RIU have the pleasure of watching a really talented grower perform to the best of their ability, just for you guys and girls right here! lol
I have just got rid of 3500w of lighting and replaced it with 4 Budmaster cob panels, at a cost of over $4000.
Budmaster is made in the UK, which is where I'm from and live. I'm glad to support local business', also at the same time I'm glad to be switching to Osram cob, from hid, cmh, T5, blurples and metal halide.
I've gone with 2 of these Budmaster cob x-9's

and 2 of these cob x-6's

I'm going to use one 2.5 x 2.5ft tent, also three 3ft x 3ft tents.
I have 1 mother plant and some clones from her. She's my elite Brothers Grimm Cinderella '99 clone#2. Also got 6 Blimburn Cindy seeds. Various autoflowers too. There will be a mix. I'll update the strains as I go.
Enjoy the growing people. I'm looking forward to growing under this spectrum... My plants seem to do very well under white light / daylight.

I'd like to add that just because I use pre-made panels doesn't mean I'm a shill like those Amare boys!! lmao
I got 'some discount' because I bought 4 expensive panels and almost max'd a credit card buying the fuck*ng things lol
They may seem expensive to some... I think they're a bargain and I'll show you why in time!
I don't want anybody coming here accusing me of being a shill!
@714steadyeddie (you were ever present in my last journal)
@lukio (pull up a chair buddy)
@theslipperbandit (you too mate) You have both been great in the advice you've given me about Budmaster and helped me choose the right panels with your journals, info and advice! Thanks to the pair of you!
@Icemud420 Special mention to you as your youtube video on the cob4 pretty much set my mind on Budmaster.
Thanks to Paul at Budmaster for giving me some discount for buying multiple panels! Even from Spannabis the man still has time for his customers! Thanks buddy, enjoy!
Hey if ur buddy ever need seeds.let.me.know I'll throw him.a few got about 150 pineapple express photos and bunch of.mephistos alsoBeen an interesting day today. Just started a growing project for a buddy. It involves filling a 4ft x 4ft tent with bud at his place, by popping round there once or twice a week for the next 60 days.
Started up a 4 plant fast bud#2 grow, 12 litre pots, 400w 4500k Philips master mh and 400w Philips Greenpower hps. I've set it all up perfectly, got the temps and environment bang on too.
It's nice coz it's my old lights, my old tent and even fans. Doing it as a massive favour for free. It's nice to have the skills to turn somebody's family from rags to riches, in just 8 weeks from seed lol
He's a decent bloke, who also suffers with mental illness. Ain't got a penny to his name! The dude can't even drive his car, as he can't buy fuel.. Bit heavy innit! Government gone far enough with failing his mental illness, time to bring him to the growing world! lol
Gave him some seeds and a fat bud in an envelope. They should be popping Wednesday. It's nice, as I normally grow weed at my place to help people. This time, I'll teach him to grow elsewhere. It won't effect my own growing area, so really is no bother! He's keen, he's having two of my tents.
I will take a photo after 1 month and whack it in here, then take another at the end. The seeds he's growing I have grown many times. It's my home ground auto strain, so will undoubtedly be a success!
I ain't having anything from it, even when he gets a decent yield. He's keeping the lot and starting a great life for his family!
I'm glad to be getting rid of more of my stuff. 400w ballasts go for nothing used, so better to give them away.
I've bought enough Budmaster leds to keep my place warm in the winter, if not I'll buy more. I ain't going back to hid lighting ever!
Hey @chuckie86,.........Them are some nice pannels buddy I just got a amare 450+unb for $500 of a buddy only use 30 days and they run $1145 not sure y he didn't go with ones u got look awesome well good luck
Thanks @lukio Nice to have you back in. I was thinking maybe you're still trimming all that bud you grewabsolutely flying in here! mad catch up, been real busy.
looks like youve got things covered mate! Everything is looking just great.
i also bought another tent if it makes you feel any better - only a 3x3 but dropped £1200 including lights ahaaa! oh well
fuck that!I was thinking maybe you're still trimming all that bud you grew
Yea that's the light lmao but it's.mine buddy
LolYea that's the light lmao but it's.mine buddy
Well said @FevsThis is a brief update over a few changes. Setting up a veg tent later with an led that just got here
It's branded, but I will not declare which branded led it is.
It's an led from a company, which comes with 'too much forum politics from across the pond' for my liking! That the best way to say it!
It's only for vegging anyway, but got a used bargain on it. It has cree leds.
Plus when you use branded panels... it ain't easy on these forums. I already have to explain every so often, that I ain't a shill for Budmaster. Don't want to have to do the explaining for another company too
I never tell anybody to buy Budmaster! I just think Budmaster is the best option for me, which is in the UK like me, plus I was looking to upgrade after a killer harvest!
I don't advertise for Budmaster. Well, not anymore than somebody buying a brand new expensive hybrid car and driving it round the streets. Every so often somebody will think, 'oooh that's nice, bet the buds per gallon are high!'
It makes no odds to me! I'll do a fair review on the panels. I always do. If I think something could be improved or lacking, I always say so...
Yeah the journal is called Budmaster, but if I'd just spent $4000 on seeds, it would be called something something seeds instead
Hope to do a picture update later, after the dark period.
Very happy with things currently
Anybody that asks is getting the same answer...Well said @Fevs
Wrecking my brain....cell trying to figure out what thon light is!
Does it begin with 'A' and end with way...........?
Lol lol
Yeah they are rocking the grow nicely!Hey fevs you've been busy to say the least I didn't realize how fast things are moving along those osram lights are performing you're gonna have a nice harvest
