How about something like this mate? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PORTABLE-ELECTRIC-FAN-HEATER-2-HEAT-SETTINGS-1000W-2000W-GREENHOUSE-CONSERVATORY-/270822618104?pt=UK_AudioElectronicsVideo_Video_TelevisionSetTopBoxes&hash=item3f0e4933f8

Can set it at 1000w or 2000w.. Its only a cheap one but as long as it does the job. Ill have a search for some thermostats now, this one says its got thermostatic control but im guessing it wont be very good.

I'd go with a slightly bigger one... as you could heat the room better and faster and wouldn't have to run it for as long :) remember * they use alot of juice.. last year we used 3X 2000W heaters and our Leccy Bill was through the roof :( I'd suggest getting a cheapy oil-filled radiator, I think Argos sell em' for approx £40.00 and they run a hell of a lot cheaper, My Thermostat was approx £70.00 but the bloke that made them died and the business folded... but analogue Thermostat's are cheaper and imo. are easier to use :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Stealthy mate, have you used these air pots before? Im having trouble finding out what size pot to use, obvioulsy i want as big a pot as possible but i dont want it to big else i wont benefit from the air pruning.

No sure whether to try 20 or 30ltr pots, was thinking of starting in maybe 5 ltr pots then just transfering to the bigger pots for the rest of the grow. Im tempted to just do an all organic grow just for the crack:) I rekon a good 12 week veg will still get me yeilding fat by the end of flower. I just want to see whats possible for me in this space organically as apposed to hydro.

Ive been having a think about these airpots, i can get 20ltr ones to start then say if there airpruning in that by week 8 of veg i can then get the 30ltr ones then.

Think my next grow will be all organic:) I think plant magic full nute range and soil, 12 weeks minimum veg time with the usual topped twice and lollipopped and hopefully finishing in 30ltr pots. I want to look at this as a challange to get as close as i can yeild wise to hydro. It just seems alot less work and monitoring plus alot of people say the end product is better. It wont cost me alot so i may aswell have a go:)

I'll stay subbed dude :) I am interested to see what results of soil will be and will be interested to see if you stick with soil/coco or revert back to hydro :) - STELTHY :leaf:

I think if i can finish in 30ltr airpots and along with a 12 week veg i can get pretty close to hydro, I mean i wouldnt have root damage on transfer to contend with either.

Even with my pump i have difficulty emptying my buckets especially the back ones, its nye on impossible to get them fully empty. I also like the idea of Organic, id start with the plant magic soil but id like to do my own mix given time. It just seems less ball ache but we shall have to see what i can yeild first:)

Had a letter this morning, the housing people are coming to fit new windows soon:( Im not panicing though, im going to delay them until these current 3 ladies are done and dried if possible then at least i wont have to worry about smell.

Ill then cover the cabs and floors of the room with sheets to make it look like im in the middle of decorating and ill also have my stereo on to cover any noise. Even if they have to come while the bitches are stinky ill just do the same but have the ozone generator running aswell:)

Seems like obne of these RKS is gonna be another freak lol, its 2ft high already, the other RKS is alot shorter and stockier, i just topped her at 15" as she doesnt seem to be getting much taller now, i messed up though and i nipped away on of the new to be tops:( Im just gonna leave her and see what happens. I rekon she will be ok.

Starting to worry about these windows being fitted now, i know it will be fine but its the first time ill be putting these cabs to the test stealth wise so i am nervous. I rekon dust cover them and put a few boxes etc in front of them so they dont stand out quite so much, saying that though they take up about half of the room lol.

Hi there budbaby.
I have been reading somee of your thread (arrived to it coz of my interest in the lights you using)
..I have to say I am impressed! Looks like those lights proper rock!!!
I think I am gonna have one myself soonish :)
I wanted to ask you, flowering time wise, would you say that under your light flowering takes same/longer/shorter than conventional lights? I am asking this because the LED light I have at the moment (357), takes around two weeks longer!
Thanks, I'll be following your progresses
Best of luck for all

hi m8, thanks for the reply

interesting, are you sure you looked at the right osrams? I know there older chips are nowhere near as good ( I believe ones used in the haight solid lights are from chips designed for car head lamps).

from what I've read the new osram golden dragon plus leds have been designed for horticulture and are much better/more efficient. I seem to remember reading 110lm at 350mA but can't seem to find that page now.

That's right, the new osram opto semi conductors.
I too would like my panel having those new diodes
Richard (plantphotonics), would you be able to use them for the 660mn? I think they make also the blue? Let us know please!

Hi and thanks for the interest in my journal:)

I would say these lights also take about 2 weeks longer to flower but the yeild is worth the wait. Infact these lights have impressed me so much im gonna try an organic grow and i rekon once perfected i will be able to get 2g per watt orgainc in soil!! I cant wait to see what these 2 super lemon haze yeild especially the freak haze as its virtually filling my cab on its own!!!

If you want to contact Richard try his new website www.plantphotonics.com I would also be interested in what he says about these Osram led's. Are they supposed to be brighter than the CREE XP-E range?

Hi there thanks for answer about flowering time. Yesa those Osram opto semicondors seem to be real good. I do not know about being brighter than cree xp-e, they prob aren't, but the point is this: cree xp-e only make 630nm Red (the ones Richard uses on your panel), they have not a far red range. That's when the Osram can come very handy, as they make a 660nm red!. There is prob only one manufacture that uses those Osrams, look at the Solaro Sun Clone (this light is still a mistery though). But there is some guy on some forum that has built a led panel with Osrams and he reckon they are the s***!
Hopefully Richard will look into those Osrams and will get back to us on the subject

Here are a few update pics, day 73 flowering, im gonna chope them down no later than 22 november hopefully they may be done sooner. Ill add a pic of the blue venom also, i rekon ill get maybe 2 oz off her, the light is over 2 ft above here and even though the freak haze is tied back she still doesnt get much light:( Looks lush bud though:)

Ive finally managed to work out how to get slightly better pics with the misses camera lol, its taken me nearly 12 months but ive done it:):)

Ive been having a think today and im gonna go with 15ltr airpots and do 5 plants in each cab:) The more plants the more variety i will have to smoke:) Some lads on another forum said you can get plants up to 4ft high with 15 ltr pots so i thought id take advantage of the extra space. I rekon with a 12 week veg i can pull 4oz of each:)

Ive got 2 x grape god seeds coming along with a free pinapple chunk which im gonna do along with dinafem white widow and dinafem blue hash:) Im gonna start a burmese kush also for back up:) Ive though about plant heights more this time and even though pheno's vary these are indica so hopefully wont go mad and give me an evenish canopy. I really do think i need at least 10-12" space between the lights and the top of the canopy.

Ive just found some plant pot saucers that can take up to a 27cm pot which is exactly the size of the 15 ltr airpots and will just fit in my cabs:):)
