In Cape Town You know some better prices for good quality? That would be great!

By the way, just for interest sakes, When the heads of these plants just started to form, and i mean just started, really just a few hairs starting to grow out, I made some tea using a few leaves and some of the fine whiskers that had begun.. Added some coconut oil to the mix and brewed for...

Here some links to some other quality LED lighting solutions for plants, this guy is also in South Africa, he seems to know his stuff. https://growopz.com/products/the-square-320w-vero29-gen7-square-framework https://growopz.com/products/qb-320-quantum-board-24v-320w-180lm-w

I must say I after all the research I did on the net, definitely want to avoid those panels of red blue leds... I guess it all comes down to experimenting with what actually works over all the theories... I went for the 5500K as that was supposed to be more like daylight, certainly looks like it...

Areed The ones i have are fullspetrum pretty much, white but slightly more in the blue spectrum......

HI Lvcifer.... With a cellphone, samsung galaxy s6 :P so no, not accurate,,,,,however.. Im fairly confident that they are very close to the manufactures claim, just from what ive seen compared to cheap stuff. Normally I wouldst trust a word of such claims, however these guys appear to be quite...

Alright thanks for the tips everyone. I reckon ill keep the males so I can get more seeds then. Seeds are hard to come by here unless you friends with the local hippies. Next year will have lots of seeds from this batch so will remove males next time. Cheers

Thanks quicksilver, this is what I thought after looking around a bit on the net. This is my first grow, now another very important question is. If i remove the males, will the seeds the female produce be able to germinate? Or do the females require pollination from males to produce fertile...

these plants are about 4 months old, they didnt have much light until the last 3 weeks when I got some better lights on them heres another picture of the plant in the last photo I suspect is female

Can anyone please confirm, are the first two photos males and the last a female?

Well this is them under the new lights, they really bright, only 50w, and i measured them, at about 1 meter away 9500 lumens. 5000 kelvin

Thanks for the tea recipe , everyone here seems to agree that it's quite potent..i think ill have a few sips and wait an hour to see what happens. I prefer to know what I'm getting myself into. Anyways, got to wait for harvest and curing before i can have my tea.

So I dont smoke, i like to have clean lungs, do a lot of running, so how does one consume it? Is tea a good way to go?

Shame man, well I have endless sun, but tight laws, a 60 year old woman up the rd was bust for having 8 plants in her garden. We in the process of legalizing private use, gonna take a year or 2 then can grow and use in the privacy of your own home, cant wait, can use the power of our sun, and...

Imagine having a couple street lights for your plants! who would have thought. The lengths we go to to grow plants! the freekin sun is free, just a pitty about all the constraining laws!!!!

I was acutally considering that as well, this company makes street lights, they much more expensive though than the floodlight for some reason, and less efficient, perhaps more expensive because of fancy housing. http://ledcorp.co.za/products/ledcorp-streetlights/

LED makes so much sense to me, If im talking South African Rands, heres a good example. 250w HPS at 5500k giving 19000 lumens including ballast and reflecter, R3000 100w floodlight at 5500 giving 19000 lumens R3000 LED less than half the electricity for same initial cost, less heat, longer life...

Thanks GroEr sounds like you really know your stuff. Funny story, i actually grow chillies, the more unusual kinds. One day on my daily walk at work i spied a tiny bank bag with about 9 seeds in it. Due to my past experiences I immediately knew what they were. I couldn't just leave them there...

I was looking through ali as well, couldn't find anything close to 190l/w for the smd. The company, which is in South Africa have some deal with a chip manufacturer that makes them specially for the floodlight company, which is called ledcorp.co.za Their lights are built and tested in South...

Thes company that manufacturers these flood lights claim 190lumens per watt, they supply them to helicopter pads and shipping ports etc. They are very high quality floodlights. The passive cooling consists of thermal paste of some sort behind each chip and various other fancy materials so LEDs...
