Hey lads. I was poking around here last year at this time. Post nuptually Irish, lived in Blackrock Dublin for a few years.
How's the season going? Anyone braving the outdoors this year?

whats up doc.
have you seen the new solo2?
grasshopper is a heart breaker, works well until it breaks and has to be sent back over and over. lifetime warranty is ok but i got sick of it and sold her.
pax2 and now pax3 cool and sexy.
Try a vapcap and you will be surprised. The M model is about $50 and will last forever. Beware once you buy one you will start a collection.
My Grasshopper has been working great and I love it but I also love my PAX2. IMO both are in the top 5 portable loose leaf portable vaporizers.

Hop ye all had a good 4.20
I got an ounce of Nightmare Cookies which do not have any kind of skunky/piney typical bud smell, that seems to be prevalent if even a little with all strains, rather it smells like pineapples and at first I was like did you spray some candy spray on this bud but my friend was like fuck no so I got it and took it home. 3 days ago I packed my Grasshopper full and my PAX2 full and went to town. After about 10 draws I was toast but my friend went through another oven on the grasshopper. Anyway the Nightmare Cookies is crazy potent.

Guys, I'd like to thank any users on this forum that may have shared a post on social media about a young girl missing from Tyrone on Monday, who was found in Dublin on Wednesday night.

I know privacy & personal details are to be kept secret, but that girl was family of my own.

I'd like to thank everyone throughout Ireland & especially the public in Dublin! Saoradh Átha Cliath & the Garda worked tirelessly; one female Garda in particular of Store St, who worked closely with two of the young girls brothers - working night & day searching, gathering information & providing support to the family.
None of this would of been possible without the help from the public, which we have no words to describe just how grateful we are.

Just a special thank you, to all who have helped - from the entire family.

Keggy.

National compost week lads - recycling centres & that will be giving out free organic compost.
Basically garden, veg, fish, etc waste they've collected from the year before.

Not the best compost out there, but it does the job, it's free & there's no limit to what you can take.

I'll be hitting my local in the tractor & 16 tonne dumper this week.

Only tried Budmaster n it outdid my 600w,pricy but a modular design so easy to add or fix components ive a johnsons cx-16 flying from america but assembled in chine like most thing n its a 3 YR warranty but ill be voiding it to show u guys whats inside to do a side by side. So u lads can see what's out there osram v clu048 citizen cobs so will be fun to see his ppfd is crazy but thats probably due to the cobs being so close
They use to use cree but thw drives aparently better off the Citizen but theres tons of choices n dont cheap out and you'll be grand

I always took the budmaster to be one of those over priced lights but never ran into anyone using them - what watt one do you have lad?
They're pricey - but is it worth it?

What's the johnson like? I'm getting a mixture of car dealerships & US sellers on them but they look very similar to the dominator brand.
what's the actual power draw? Are they the 90 or 120?
which would you rate better, budmaster or the Johnson seeing as they seem to be around the same price wise.

I'd been using a mixture of hid & led in my flower tent/room but imo it isn't the way to go, in hindsight I'd of been better getting a decent cob set up months ago.

You've invested serious tin in the budmaster lights slipper!
It's the white you use lad? Like this one?? IMG_0210.PNG

I'm very interested in that 16x cob lol that would be an absolute beast - I'll have a look at that PDF lad.

Ahh you've a clone tent too?
I'd ran 300w vipars in my clone tent - but seem to need triple the calmag foliar spray than with any other light.
Why not try a small T5 fixture? I've one that come with my clone tent.
