You sure you got the same one i linked you marley? mine can use a 250watt bulb at 250 or 270watts you just cant run the 250w bulb on 400watts, and also you can run a 400watt bulb at 250 or 270watts

heres a pic and it shows on outside and inside the box that you can use both 250w bulb and 400w bulb

At last I got some decent xmas smoke....Blue mystic. Never smoked before but a friend did a great job with it, really nice dense buds and absolutely covered in crystals, has a nice taste but it ain't the strongest of smells. For anybody having issues with smell it might be a nice strain to check out, barely any smell during flowering, and this is normal so no need to freak out;)

Been up the North the last few days, madness!!!!

Its looks a great way of growing with great results, the 2 litre bottle method would be great for my situation but would be able to leave the grow for more than 2 days or even a day in the height of summer..
I will play with Hempy at some stage but at the moment i need to fill some empty jars quick..!







Haven't been to the flicks in years, really must get baked and go see something soon...


leave them in a tray of water so the res has that extra day or so, and the res in the bottom of the pot will get you away with a few days even in the summer...


at the minute i`m only watering about once every 5 days or so, could go longer.... there still tiny jay so they don`t use what you`d be used to feeding etc at this stage.

You have me thinking now, sure.. no allege will form because the res will be used so quick..

Massive looking... wouldn;t mind a bowl of that...!! Just dont smoke it all before christmas...

Was looking at my little grow and have spider mites....!! Spray the little feckers tonight, Ill spray them again in a couple of days, I really must clean the room out, i mean like hoover the fuk out of the place and get rid of the carpet as that is just a breeding ground for the little mites..
Wanna pick up some of that Kingspan stuff and lay down on the floor instead..

would have to see jay, doubt it would get hold and if it was clean to start off with i also doubt the nitrates the algae needs would have time to start it ..

algae in the res i haven`t seen yet, done two hempy runs so far in 20 litres so again not sure on the two litre ones, will tell you soon enough tho, there starting to go now, hitting 5th node....
