I'm sure they start flowering earlier as they run out of space to root.

I believe this to be true as well.

Where are your AK's from? I get asked to grow AK's again constantly. I grew Pure AK from female seeds years ago. She's a goodun. Thinking about ordering another pack right now actually :):)

If you've got multiple tents why not try 12/12 from seed in one? I was getting 1.25-2oz dry a plant at about 3 feet high. roughly in 1.5-2 gallons/6-8litre pots. The reason I suggest this is it's a little more forgiving than Auto's. You can start in smaller pots and save space and transplant, as well as being able to top them and not slow em down too much. I grew this way for a while and found you can get Photo's to finish in about the same time as auto's from seed sprout.

It's an easy way to keep a perpetual tent going where you always have stuff ready. I don't recall if I suggested this already :bigjoint:

Your ladies look happy as fook!
:peace::peace:

Ok, so something really concerning has happened to my human rights I used to have.

Explain this if you can please...

My mobile phone is 15 years old. It doesn't have internet. I do not have internet at my home either. I do not own my own laptop, computer, or I pad, or any of that shit..! I have never had internet at my flat. I use a friends internet and computer.

So in a nutshell. I don't have a contract phone. My pay as you go phone isn't registered in my name and address. I don't have facebook either, or any form of social media. I buy cd's.

So you could say compared to many, I would be much harder to track for a crime, say growing weed.

I was on youtube earlier 'which I don't have an account' then my name came up when hovering over the comments I read after a video. It didn't used to do that... Now it just pops up in a pop up box every time I look at the next comment down.

So I'm on my friends computer, using their internet, haven't had to log in or anything, yet it knows it's me. wtf man. That's gone too far invoking my human rights.

These grow journals are now a problem.

If I robbed a fucking bank I wouldn't journalise it. Ok, so now that's it for me.

Strangely enough, I'm already closing down my bank account. Closing down my last credit card, which strangely I was already doing. I'm already in the process of changing to the post office 'not an account, no credit checks etc... So my money will get paid in to there and I will get receipts from them too.

That is it though! These journals have made us UK growers sitting ducks! As each day passes and we lose more and more of our human rights, the chances of us shooting ourselves in the foot greatly increase!

If you logged into a gmail account in the browser and then went to youtube to watch videos it is very likely that google kept you logged in between their two services.

OR someone has clicked the "Keep me signed in" On your google acct. which in turn is logging you into things automatically without you even knowing that you're logging in. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot. It did cost a lot to set up like this, but I can knock out some serious weed, often, with very little cost in electricity. I look forward to the end still.




Next grow I'm just doing 12 skunk auto's. They are really cheap, really dank and really fast.

I'm going to do mostly Brother Grimm Cinderella and skunk auto. Keeping it very simple over the summer...

Suffered some light bleaching on the xl plants in 1 of the tents. Won't have that problem with skunk auto...

I am just curious as to you veg nutes and bloom and who you get your skunk auto seeds from if you can msg me id appreciate i am starting my first auto grow blue critical roadrunner and amnesiaxxl all dinafem i would love advice especially bout the flora nutes looking forward to your reply thanks

I looked at Icemud's journal where he got 0.51 grams per watt under Budmaster cob. I'm sure these leds will do better with autoflowers, than they will photoperiods 'for the time given'. I'm doing both, so will see. 0.51 grams for a test grow didn't put me off. I can already tell my plants are going to like these lights a lot :weed: I look forward to some smashing results under these cobs! bongsmilie

His grows were poorly fed,throwing mad defs ranging from macro to essential Defs throughout.
but im not dissing on reusing soil I always do it, and im straight up chemical nutes, always reuse my soil but I foliar feed during veg n feed the medium water n cannazyme through out veg weeks then on last water before flip i nute feed via medium heavy on Calmag n feed veg nutes
(I only medium feed lwith nutrients last feed of veg n till the end of flowering)
till week 4 I go about half n half at about week 5 then its all flowering nutes with one day of pk then I take advantage of ripens 0-6-9 or some NPK like that which is imo like a lighter pk booster and ive never had an issue as long as id rid salt buildup juring veg with my cheapskate methods oh and I always ph but u dong have to ph foliar feed as were not feeding the rootzone.


This style isnt the easiest ive to incorporate things like macros which ive never used in fresh soil and constantly read my leafs cuz foliar is super fast acting and I wanna know what strain wants what rations so ive alqays the cana mono range on hand lol
I will add that I use the old soil 4/5 of the way up the pot n add fresh canna soil, no pert or anything canna soil is well ariayed but my recycled mix has alot of vermiculite in it so onve the seeds root they slowly grow down into the old soil and can take the soul no problem since its still eating its baby leafs...some stoned rant here

I'm so impressed with the cobs. I'm a bit surprised that they are already discontinued. They have been replaced by these...

http://www.budmaster.co.uk/HC-6.html

So I bought two of those.

I'll do a grow with them 1st to see how they perform, then as I already have 2 cobx-6 with Osram leds... that means I have 4 panels with 6 cobs on, so have exactly half Osram and half Horticultral cobs, so I'll probably mix and match them, so I have 4 x 300w panels with 6 cobs going, half of each.

I really didn't want to spend any more money, but it's just these sodium lamps in my veg tents, I know they just ain't necessary anymore... They have to go...!

Here is a picture of my Serious Seeds ak47 tent. Also got some Brothers Grimm C99 clones + mother in here.

3 are 100% female, 2 males chucked last night. Down to 5, I'd love at least 1 more female!

Next up a 400w hps vegging 4 x Brother Grimm Cindys. Cindy's are in 18 litre square pots. These are going to be grown big before I flip. They will be vegged in here until Blimburn Cindys are done in the 12/12 in 5 weeks or so.

Also in here are the Tangie auto's (right), still in little pots. Still neglected. Been growing these on straight tap water.

PPF; 'photosynthetic photon flux'
is a measurement that determines the total amount of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) a light gives off.
So ueah all the ppf will so is maybe disperse the light better but iant that the purpose of the optics/lenses?


I was shocked when they discontinued the cobx line.
these HC lights raise ppf.. So what the ppf/ppfd was amazing before hand I just wanna see the par relationship put a controlled environment ment.

All we need his high par output
PAR photosynthetically active radiation (whats the plants receive from the sun)

Budmaster lights don't have a good PPF output. Check out Icemud's channel on youtube, he does the par readings for the Budmasters, look better than they actually are unfortunately, like a lot of other commercial LED's. If u haven't, check out Growmau5 channel on youtube also, he has many vids showing how to build amazing lights yourself, twice as good as a Budmaster at half the cost. I was nearly buying Budmaster or Spectrum King until i saw those 2 channels....

Hey people. I have decided to come back from the dead! Well Fevs with a dot after, but it's still me.

I was helping a lady a lady with cancer, but she died. I needed to take some time out.

I'm back fresh as daisy's though. Made many changes in my life. Obese to Vegan... Depressed to happy... Unfit to very fit...

Now grow with 100% led and have sold all of my other lights. I'm starting a new journal with the Budmaster lights. I have 10 panels now.

I'll put a link up here...
