I can't believe a hydro shop advertise on the fkg envelopes they post out to you/me.
If you don't want GROW INSANE shown to your postman it's maybe best to avoid them.
I'm not looking to be a prick but I think that's beyond stupidity :-( I'm not fkg happy at that.

To be honest I’ve never noticed it as I order from them.

but they’re hardly a hydro store they just sell components for hydro setups.

send me a DM buddy normally I just open the bright green envelope and grab what’s inside lol.

The thing to remember @Lemon king is that a room will generally run cooler with LED’s.

I’ve had to block off my intakes for winter/cold running using LED’s, normally with HPS I would just use the fan controller to control the temps.

but with LED it’s use the fan controller and block the intakes and I’m using a tubular heater too to keep temps up where I want them.

To run 650w of led costs me 950w/1kw (per hour) the lack of heat makes controlling humidity difficult so I need a dehumidifier and sometimes a tube heater just to maintain 26/27c and 57/62% rh

The radiated heat from HID is missed by me, even in the summer it wasn't a problem I just left the fan running constant slow if the temps went above a preset 26/27c the fan kicks in at a higher speed.

I can only imagine how good they'd be in a warm climate but in my cool and humid af climate I've a financial penalty with led that didn't have with Hid.

I like them but im not sure the price is justified over hid.

Longevity of the boards etc is what will or won’t cut it for me.

the cost of an HID bulb £20 per year approx

That means an LED would need to keep performing for around 10-15 years to make it a viable replacement.

if an LED lasts less than this then it’s cheaper to stick with HID replacing bulbs once a year.

were you guys vaccinated?
sorry to hear you were both ill!
i heard UK is getting hit now with the Stealth omni B2.
no one is masked up here anymore and from previous waves, we get hit right after you, i truly hope not. People around here finally took the masks off in public . Spread will be like wildfire here if it hits.

Doesn’t mean you can’t catch it, it means the cbd/thc stops you getting pneumonia etc. Link below

Exact same symptoms for me and not vaccinated tho but lost my sense of smell completely. Even now 2 months after it’s not 100% and some days it can disappear again.

Didn’t feel like a natural virus. It’s progression was random and disjointed. Most flu/colds start with sore throat and progress in a linear way.

Covid seemed to jump all over the shot. Day 7 infected for me is when I started sneezing and got a runny nose.

Those Cheeky fuckers messing with viruses in labs. (Most countries do it) just one fucked up lol



@Dr.Amber Trichome

Masks still in place in Scotland. Yet we have a higher infection rate per a capita than England which has been mask free for months…

On Monday the requirements to self isolate go bye bye and if you want any LFT’s then you have to pay for them.

let’s see if Nicola imposes the same as this is coming straight from Westminster lol.

I personally feel like we’ve been lied to the whole way through.

i got my 2 shots for “normality” normality didn’t come so I said fuck off to any more boosters.

Noticed on the news today it says “spring” boosters available to the vulnerable and the over 75’s.

It makes me laugh because the vaccine manufacturers have even said that they don’t work with Omicron variants and the omi’s are most prevalent now lmao.

Thinning Stage one complete.

The plan is to raise the entirety of both plants “skirts” to meet the front and look pretty similar right through underneath.

I have removed a lot of large leaves and thinned out the straggly small growth.

Given a quick super crop to level the canopy and I’ll do a bit more on Sunday.

The BG41 clones have rooted into their coco pots

A bit too early for me yet so seeing as there’s absolutely zero yellowing on the leaves I’ve cut them and stuck them in root riot cubes that I picked up on eBay to root again. I will continue doing this until I’m a few weeks away from Harvest so that I don’t end up having to light 4 plants with an additional 200w of power at this expensive time until it’s absolutely necessary.
