His mum would fill the bottle every couple days cos he'd be piling it everything.

They reckon when u put tomato sauce with everything it's cos u didn't like your mums cooking lol??

Called into the local hydro shop and grabbed 50 rockwool cubes and there’s a lot of guys suffering from early flowering again I’ve got a couple that are showing signs a bit early but not as bad as last year so I’m thinking I’ll get a light going and veg out 20 indoor in case I have any issues and I can then throw a heap outside in January.

been screwy weather thats for sure - either cracker days or dark and overcast. good to have a contingency plan - looks like you might need to hang onto your clones

I usually make clones from all the stuff I prune of the bottoms and keep all the good ones and scrap or give away any leftovers but I haven’t kept any cuts from my outdoor plants,this year I’ve got about 6 or 7 that I’m going to keep as mothers so I want to have a few really healthy ones that I keep going

Im confuse well shit i completly forgot about the seedling yester day forgot to feed it i hope t s allright the jiffy was pretty wet im gunna go give it some love

Just tested the light spread compared to the mesh. Two things.

At full height. It's spread is only a few cm above that mesh. With minimal height covering the guts really well too. I think they're about optimally set.

And two- I've just noticed some of the leds on my cobs don't light up...


I can do one of three things. 1) Keep going with it like it is. 2) replace the damaged cob. Or- 3) find a QB/equivalent board. And run with that in place of both cobs.

The driver does up to 200w @1400mA. With 145vdc max output.

Heres the seedling think im gunna put it in a bigger pot i kinda wnted to build up the roots abit bit i dont like stretch im gunna give it a querter strength feed and maybe som le myco and some rhizo well iv made ut this far lol

Doesn't need a feed every day gigz. The cotyledons are its food source to begin with.

Looks healthy.

 

[giglewigle]

True so i should wait till the cotlydons start to die

 

[Nugachino]

Seedlings don't need to be fed. I think you wait a week or more to give them their first light feeding.

you can leave it in that little pot for a bit yet. You should have decent drainage holes in the bottom (if you dont make some!) and when you see roots at the bottom you can pot up. You can do it earlier if you want but it will slow it down while it fills out the roots and it's easier to overwater. If its stretching too much give it more light.

We had a referendum??

I weighed up the 3 Northern lights. 313.7 grams plus maybe another 10 grams I gave away which I wont bother with in the figures.
So 11 Ozzies and a plant to go. Looks like ill easily exceed the 12 ozzie goal.

And I only like tomato sauce on pies, sausage rolls and savs and maybe also a little bit on a cold lamb sanger.

Good stuff.

Would that bit of damage affect the outcome noticeably?

That sounds like your right in the sweet spot height wise.
1) Depends on how much light you’ve actually lost
2) I’d lean more towards option 3) but cost and availability would have to play some part in my overall decision.

and this is an issue with LED lights. People who use them seem to be always upgrading them.

Nugs why did the leds fail? Are they under a warranty at all?
