That's a bloody good deal, I'm considering getting one for the next run. Any feedback much appreciated.

Hopefully it doesn't take much to get it dialled in .... I'm using shogun nutes so hope they're stable when sat for a while I normally use about 12-15 litres every three days so 50litre tank should last over a week for me

Day 21ish defoliation and final lollipopping on the first round of labomba
Day 7ish defoliation and first lollipopping on the second round of labomba
I know this aggressive defoliation isn't for everyone and tbh I'm still experimenting with the perfect ammount for this strain, doing slightly more each round until I find the sweet spot. I also know I've not lollipopped as high as I would normally do for day 7 but I found from the last round that once defoliated a lot of these lowers actually finished quite dense and decent quality. So again I'm experimenting to find the right height to strip to.
the great thing about harvesting every couple of weeks is you can make changes on the fly and learn from mistakes or successes much quicker than if I was waiting 10 weeks between harvests

Hi guys, got a couple of square ones, a bbc and a violet sunset which also os a bbc cross. Are the leaves normal on this cultivar? Jus asking coz usually in past when I see this they runt soon or jus grow overly leafy and not worth my time. What ya think? The are fine atm and have grown normally

Looks a wee bit hungry to me idk this cultivar so I can't comment on the leaf frequency etc then again could be one of those ones that's meant to be lighter green hopefully someone on here has came across it before

Where did you get them seeds ? They're hard to come by the square one genetics

I buy alot of seeds from discord for last couple of years now plus mostly overseas trades and purchases and never once have I been scammed (even times I thought I'd been had) infact I have a guy I jus used on there with a few packs left of square one robin hood very reasonable prices hes solid. Dm me for more information if you want

Yeah they are very hungry they have jus been transplanted and given there first feed of veg as they were in small pots and getting seedling feed. I always try to make them slightly rootbound before transplanting and they jus explode in big pot and full feed. Will update in 2 weeks

What a sunrise mate!
Do you mind me asking what those sensors are for? I can see 2 hung in the lemon cherry pic.
as allways, beautiful plants dude!

Thanks bud, the one with the card tube is for the ambient temp getting above a pre set temp it speeds up the fan, the other sensor is a regular thermometer rh% sensor.
There's 2 more I'll give you a run down on them lol
2x temperature sensors for the fan 1 for daytime and 1 for night time to prevent temps getting to cold and
2 to turn on/off dehumidifier and a heater when the light goes out that's why they're not guarded.
The idea being the dehumidifier is up and running before it's actually cooled hopefully preventing precipitation?
It's unbelievably humid here.
Its rarely below 90%
We've definitely a shitty climate to deal with.

That's brilliant that mate, I thought they might've both been sensors for 2 controllers for the same fan, I do something similar but I have an ac infinity fan and controller with the night time temp set and a min speed, then an old massive rvk on an INKBIRD which switches on and off through the day as temps pass a set point.
yeah it's humid here too, some times the inside of my veg tent would have water running down the wall when I had my flower room colder towards the end of flower (veg tent is inside flower room), now I don't have cold nights as I'm catering to plants in different stages so it's not a problem anymore.
im hoping the new ac infinity controller I get means I can just use the 1 12 inch fan and controller and have different trigger points for night and day.
thanks for taking the time to explain that mate I'm sure someone else will find that helpful too, often people will just make do with whatever their min speed dictates their night temperatures will be.

Only saving grace with the humidity is the fact it’s cool outside. So once that air comes indoors and is heated it becomes quite dry in the winter.
Cold air can’t hold as much water as warm air hence the Relative Humidity side of things

Yes I hear what you're saying but the uk is exceptionally humid relative to its temperature, most cold countries have a low rh% figure when it's freezing for the reasons you said but the uk gets a blanket of humidity from gulf stream hitting or west coast keeping us bathed in high humidity even in the lowest temps.

Yea true, rarely a dry cold we get off the near continent.
Feels like it’s a lot cloudier as well than it use to be?

Wee question. Does gently lowering the hours to 12-12 reduce the stretch much instead of just flipping say 20-4 to 12-12?

Idk about that it can't hurt I suppose bud but I did find plants if they been given 24 hours in the whole veg period then they do seem to initiate flowering a tiny bit faster ime when you flip them Vs on 18/6 all through veg assuming there all mature of course
