Mate, I left melbourn e and moved rural.
Have a large young family.
Easy way to be got at you know what I'm saying.
I've lost mates from cancer family too. Thought fuck, why bust m yg arse concreting and.dealing with cunts trying to rip you off. I'll have 30 odd acres off blueberries on my farm in the nex tf 5 years planted out. This shit is a hobby for me.
As for indoor, two guys I know that do indoor took one Yeti and.the other omg. I don't know a thing about indoor but that's what they went for.

Nah I'll do bit by bit. Landscaper by trade. Got irrigation set ready to go, excavator at my disposal, tractor. Main cost will be netting that can be pulled back to pick. 3 varieties . 1000 each variety to start with as cuttings then I'll clone from them. T h gats why over 3-5 years fully planted. Finding a good greenhouse is a priority. They vary so much in price.

That's it mate! I just want to go back to growing a few big plants instead of constantly pheno hunting haha. Only so much time and only so much space. Got my blueberry run to do, my skunk run and a NL run and then I'll be just running clones from there! Have to get these skunks and NL popped before they get to old!

The fear and joy and humor that one gets when receiving mail from you that only your customers could understand.

I have a quantum board LED drawing around 450w, Dimmable

At what stage to you introduce your plants to the Led? Im assuming early veg, what distance do you place the light from the top of the plants and do you dim the light?

The same questions also at different growth stages ie veg, transition and flower?

Thanks.

Seedlings I would put close to that light from 2nd set of true leaves dimmed down then keep it close and dim it up to harden them off.

Clones I would put them straight under it at full strength a couple foot away to start til they start to stretch then lower it incrementally.

Once they are hardened off and used to that light I would keep it as close as possible at all times.

450W is fuck all really

Fair enough, I guess I just meant, does anyone have recommendations of a company that usually doesn’t rip you off and gets through the post. I did not know there were aussie based ones! Again, is there any one you would recommend that sells sealed packs from genuine breeders?

I got some from aussie baked beans in a seald breeder pack, but they were out of good fem stock, I believe I got the last a few weeks back, but check them, maybe new stock.
From OS Attitude seems to be getting them through in good time.
Forget seedsman at this time 8 weeks and nothing.
