@twalte posted this elsewhere on here, did some looking over our way and thought I'd share as I know many will struggle to keep temps up this time of year.

Essentially it's a 530w heater that pumps the heat directly into your tent.
If you click his name , go to his post , he's done a power consumption for each of the 10 power settings.

Beats having a 2kw oil filled rad heating the whole room chaps
I like the heaters in my room but this does seem better in the long run if you can have it in the room and it gives a digital reading and adjusts to a temp I set it at

Update on the Bluchi v3 that doesn't smell anything like every other seed I've popped of this strain and I'm getting colours which I didn't get any at all on my last run of this ... the structure is giving me cookies bides and the buds tight and dense the smell is still fruity and no cheese coming through .... yet .... day 40f the two top photos are the no cheese smell pheno and the bottom one is the other female I got that is cheese stink through and through

Hey bud, I calculate that to £4.32 based on 1000w.

Based on a 400w...
18hrs x 400w = 7200 or 7.2kw x £0.24p = £1.72.

That's a decent rate I'm going to look into that I think I'm paying 28p a unit?

Growing throws up some baffling situation.
For ages I've seen yellowing in random plants I've never been able to work out, I've tried ec up/down, ph, calcium and magnesium individually and calmag (not together) but nothing ever fixed it, it always just goes away itself.

So after seeing gnats I thought well maybe?
Then after bagging them they started to clear up and looked fine again i was jamming lol.

A pic after trimming them back last week.

And a day or two later.

Now I'm sure it has to be related to trimming and/or defoliation but I can't see how?

Jfc I'd left them untrimmed to clone a few and all was good.

After cloning I trimmedd them back and they're yellowing again, any ideas or suggestions what I'm overlooking?

It's a strange one maybe a macronutrient deficiency like manganese maybe I'm not 100% but might be the starts of it bud

@Star Dog just a hunch , are you exposing new growth to same light intensity that the older growth was under could be a little light stress ? As your saying it clears up by itself after a period of time .
Nice one mate you could be into something there?

I'm not needing them atm so I'll try raising the light and see what happens.
Edit...I'm going to turn the light off for a bit before raising the light right up they've been under 24hrs forever.

Cheers bud

Hey guys I seen this 500g pollen tumbler for only €250 it's a giveaway at that price, check out 500g sifters on Amazon they're near 4x that cost.
I thought I should share it's a steal if you've considered a sifter.

Wow bud those plants look great and the leafs are stoaters!

Well done bud its nice in there :weed:
Thanks mate! Plants have been much healthier after using this plant magic magne cal. It’s a cal mag but with a full micronutrient profile, some cal mags just include a little iron.

Cant wait to try some photos! Last time I grew them I didn’t know what I was doing lol

I've had this happen a few times and I allways attributed it to me taking away nutrients from the plant, the older leaves are the least efficient at photosynthesis and eventually just act as water and nutrient stores for the more efficient faster growing new leaves, when the new stuff needs food or water it's far easier for them to grab it from an older leaf where it's allready been metabolised, when we remove them we force the plant to get its food from the root zone which can take abit longer than if it were taking it directly from other parts of the plant. Kind of like us realising we're hungry and going to a fully stocked fridge vs having to go to the shops. Haha weird analogy but i find it fitting. I may be way off but there's my 2 pence dog
