Welcome to Our New Members - Start Here

[moe.red]

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by.

We are very new. We've been working on this for a while, but just went public yesterday 4/14/23 and started adding members.

Why - we wanted a place by us, for us, where economics and ego are not the driving forces to build a forum.

Some info-

Currently we are operating pretty much by invite only. Eventually the word will get out, but for now it is a bit small. This lends itself to a tight community with moderation not really required. That said, there are really just a few rules.

Be good to each other.
Pay it forward.
Trolls will not be tolerated.

You probably noticed there is no advertising or sponsors. That is by design. This is that odd free place where the users are NOT the product.
We don't sell or share your data
We don't direct clicks, or edit threads or any such nonsense because we have a paying vendor to appease. All products must stand on their own merit.
It's OK to buy and sell here freely. The house does not take a cut. Just please do not sell anything illegal.
Virtually all topics are currently open. Hot buttons like politics, religion etc may get shut down in the future if we stop being adults.

I invite you to pull up a chair and help us make this into something we can all be proud of and call home. We have a real opportunity to be different and better. Let's do that.

We are open to all suggestions. Just ask any of the founding members:

Moshmen
Smoke (formerly known as SmokeDaReefer)
Steamroller
SweetLeafGrow

Welcome. We are glad you are here.

Invites:

We are now open to the public, but we want to have a higher level of information exchange with less drama than your typical free for all. We are not motivated to grab as many new users as we can to improve ad revenue - revenue is not even part of our DNA. This site will be funded 100% by user donations, and that will be based on what you feel comfortable with.

What we want are respectful growers from across the spectrum. Newbies to those been growin' for 50 years. Doesn't matter as long as the user is someone who is a net positive to the community.

If you know someone that would fit in well to this framework, please invite them. Just please help us with self / community moderation.

As we get older, we will find better ways of weeding out the net negative users, right now the plan is to not invite them in the first place!

Once again, welcome.

Geez, I just realized this site is by us for us, or BUFU.

That's just not proper.

I apologize

Well hello, a new forum to play on, cool. Nice to see you are going sponsor free. I saw the Farm had almost a full board of Viparspectra sponsored posts the other day . I gotta say I'm grateful to SF for providing me with lights and tents but it gets boring with so many people posting sponsor obligated threads. Anyways the cold north east is here with Dusk and Qnight saying hi

 

[moe.red]

Welcome pipe. Glad you are here. I miss smiling over your posts.

Who knows how big we get, but advertising and sponsorship is something we have no interest in. That’s not to say we don’t talk about products, just that money has no sway in what is said.

I hope this experiment works!

 

[SweetLeafGrow]

Glad to see you PC, I too always enjoyed your posts and beautiful flower shots bro. Hell yea bro, glad you're here!

Your cats are so beautiful, my shit memory can't remember their names but I remember your posts about them. My Prissy (another black cat) just had babies and we are keeping two of them. A cute black "tuxedo" a lot like mama named Lizzy and a tiger striped male named Moe....cute as buttons and really starting to get into mishchief, especially little Moe, he is a compact little terror boy

The sponered growth diaries is a sad part of things. Glad you came by!!!!

Yea, they hit me up hard over there. When I declined the first offer, they sent me a second offering me two tents and two lights, a big one and small one! Again, I declined. I just didn't want to sell my soul to try out lights I knew nothing about and to let them be my little pimp.

I had many offers from Spider Farm as well. At first they really got mad at me because I took their PPFD chart and added up the numbers and divided by the number of readings. The average was incorrect so I sent a PM to many of the staff. They corrected it but just sad because who knows how many of their product were sold because of sponser driven grow diaries.

 

[GrumpAzz]

Hey guys and thanks Steam for the invite. I'm always on a quest for a respectable forum and, from what I can tell, there are some top minds in on this. I look forward to all the knowledge to be gained.

I just started germinating my very first seed ever, yesterday afternoon. With your help and my can-do, she'll grow into a big beautiful plant.

Hi grump.

You started over there about the time I was forced out so we haven’t had any interaction. But I do know a little about your medium and can help you here if you want to post up a diary.

Welcome.

I took the first mars light in idk mayb 2020 I needed it! Lol but quickly realized I’d rest her pay for product I wanted rather than feel obligated to make look good

Funny when Adam got his free spiderfarmer she bashed my hlg, s called me a liar when I gave my opinion - in the end I have a sf1000 that I won in some gives way that I clone under - gave the others away! Even my kingbrites outperform them - one day I’ll move to the bar lights but jeez just dropped a couple G’s less than 2 years for the boards I got

Welcome after that first harvest we will chill your grumpazz out ! Lmao

You do feel obligated.

Take the lights slg and I are using. Raging kush. Nobody is going to edit the fact he is having trouble with the app and once he gets it figured out or sends it back - that info will be posted front and center.

This is the way.

 

[SweetLeafGrow]

Hell yea buddy, and I will figure it out. I'm all but positive it's just the old phone and this will get squared away toot suite.

On the subject, Can I just turn that light on and put it on a manual timer until I get the new phone? I don't want to damage the light in the event that may not be kosher. Perhaps it's a question for Scynce too and I can call them.

 

[GrumpAzz]

Welcome.

Will do. I had a decent thread going over there fixated on the build itself, mostly. It has all come to fruition and a diary is now on the table. Pefect time to hop over. Thanks again, Steam.

I appreciate the warm welcome. I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm doing it.

Welcome after that first harvest we will chill your grumpazz out ! Lmao

Haha. It's just a username from back in the day. Back before the trials and errors of psychedelics and a healthy divorce, to boot. Reminds me to stay humble. We all got shit going on. Looking forward to my first harvest, nonetheless!

I think if you run the default flower with timer and don’t touch anything recipe or custom related it works right? Just stop before the last step where you get locks? I think we texted video about that. I can dig that up if you want.

I don't remember exactly but I will try one more time. Seems like I did try that but it would not let me adjust the intensity off 100% so I bagged it for the manual thing. I did try on other solution that had the intensity where I wanted but then the timer did not work, went in there at 9pm and the light was still on.

 

[Rootsruler]

Hey Y'all!

Figured I'd tag along since moe was dumb enough to invite me!

I'm the latest shill for VS so once I do my little diary I'll make sure and post an honest review. I haven't run the XS1500Pro yet but it looks fairly well built. I guess we'll see how she does.

 

[steamroller]

Glad to see you GrumpAzz and RR~!

When you enter the standard flower program, you set the intensity when you turn it on. From 0 to 100%.



Then go into flower timer and set the timer to 8/8 or whatever.

That's it. don't go anywhere else in the app. That's as simple as it gets but I think is working for you based on the vid you sent me over text.

 

[SweetLeafGrow]

Thanks again bro, did it one more time and yea, that is where the phone is so out of date it's missing something. I set the intensity to 50%, then flower timer, and it boosts the intensity back up to 100% and unable to change without turning the recipe off and then there is no timer.

My wife is going to order that phone she found and will be in business soon, will just need to do it manually for the next week or so.

 

[moe.red]

I just read the whole manual and I see no warning about power interruption, but they do sell a product that does a software backup to a flash drive and automatically downloads to the light in case of data loss.

I would try just unplugging it and plugging it back in, and if it keeps the settings, just use a timer for the time being.

What intensity are you trying to set to?

 

[Rootsruler]

Glad to see you GrumpAzz and RR~!

My Guy! Glad you came. Stay awhile and kick your feet up!

 

[SweetLeafGrow]

Thanks Moe, I will try that. I am probably being paranoid and overly cautious here with the light. That thing is like my baby, if I could get it in bed with us, I might do it.

I think I read the same manual and it talks about keeping setting during interruptions if I remember right. Good thing because our power goes out here all the time, we have battery backups for all our computers. Did it for the better part of a whole day and the plants did not skip a beat, at least from what I could tell.

I am at 50%. Turned it to 55% Saturday morning and today noticed some weird leaf twisting so I raised it a bit and lowered back down to 50%. Nothing big but it was on a few of the fans closest to the light.

Hey, nice to see its still useful, I've 2 computers I use and my upstairs comp I signed up with I kept forgetting to send the password downstairs and its a computer generated one so there's no trying to remember it and I couldn't sign in down here......I know link them but no I like to keep them separate from one another, this old win 7 is not as well protected. No banking ,or shopping just a few websites and my grow shit on it........but I'm wired now so yahoo.

I might get at making a few this summer if I can get the work around our yard caught up. I'd like to get some proper mouth pieces & stems and make a few.....

 

[Pipecarver]

The sponered growth diaries is a sad part of things. Glad you came by!!!!

I'm happy with the lights and sponsorships, If it was a product that sucked I'd have issues posting but The SF lights and tents seem good and have been a great way for me to get into led's and tents without costs to me. I'm on the site anyways almost daily so posting a few pics and an update is easy and it keeps me active keeping my grow to show off.........I'm on hook to them for 3 days a week until Aug but they keep sending me stuff so wtf I'm sure I've enough plants and seeds to get me through another 3 - 4 months

 

[Pipecarver]

Your cats are so beautiful, my shit memory can't remember their names but I remember your posts about them. My Prissy (another black cat) just had babies and we are keeping two of them. A cute black "tuxedo" a lot like mama named Lizzy and a tiger striped male named Moe....cute as buttons and really starting to get into mishchief, especially little Moe, he is a compact little terror boy

My 3 boys are Coal, Qnight & Dusk...I have Qnight down here with me until lights out, he's curled up on a bed I got at the Dollar store for him last week, Black on black, last night I forgot he was here with me I shut down locked up and headed upstairs only to remember ooops my Cat..........he was still on the bed....good thing cause I have a real loud motion alarm and if he'd gone to the door after I'd set it....we'd of had shit on the floor.....lol.......

I need to clarify my comment PC. I did not mean it as an insult to those that are sponsored. I have just seen some things on insta and other platforms that are a down right lies about plants and products coming from guys that are sponsored by the manufacturer. If it helps you I am happy for you.
