Hopefully you get this one bud.I got mine rocking up this week.just for a litre it’s about 60 odd bucks..this was 140 for a gal.you guys get it way cheaper than that..pretty sure I looked on one of your sites it was 29 bucks..

Yeah I threw it onto an Amazon order for 40 bucks, but I only paid 25 for the one that got lost.

I've got enough for a few res changes but not enough to get through this whole grow.
 
Up potted and flicking the switch over in the morning .I’ll wait a couple days then I will top them and start pulling the lower fan leaves and cleaning up bottom growth and branches.give them avweek and they should b looking good.rh isn’t up yet but once those roots start filling into those bigger pots and drinking more I will take that humidifier out and turn on the dehuey..the show will start in 14 days so get your tickets early 😀
 
I’m really interested in the fire og x Mac moonshine Jeff.that one inspires me.wonderful colouring.that dude sure knows how to grow…when will that one b released I’ll get a couple pks.I’ll most likely use some smash cards and send the dna away to find out there sex…but before I jump I’ll wait to see what the grower says on the yield..they do look a decent size..wonder what the smoke potency is and the terps.

Just had a peep of the girls before the light was to come on in veg and they are all perked up waiting..bar one.they must b thinking what the hells going on .they are going to love that extra 6 hrs rest in flower…when I up potted all roots looked fine even on the girl that’s sad.I dunno what’s up with her.if she don’t pull her fingers out I will replace her with the spare Zamal dreams..she’s smaller ,lighter but healthier..I have her in the corner on a pot stand I made..the stand needslonger legs and I havnt the steel here to lift it up….now I know what I had to do today 🤦 and the days gone..lol.maybe tomorrow..if I remember..
 
Well what an improvement that extra 6 hrs has done..even saggy Sarah front middle is perking up.🤩.ph is rising now and very close to turning on the dehu…rh gets to 59% before fan comes on and brings that back down to 51 so I will keep checking every half hr to see if it increases.lights at 100% now…like I have mentioned before having the light at 450w 18/6 and now 600w is no difference in the dli only in the intensity so it will b a smooth transaction from veg to flower…I better check the leaf temps when I go back out too..I need another fan 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬.geez I’m getting sick of this.I’ll end putting a big fan Anthem has on a track somehow so I can slide it up or down the wall.just need one that doesn’t blow a gale in there….vid.

pretty crap day here so I’ve had to turn the dehuey on earlier .usually its warm enough throughout the day I don’t have to turn it on till the evening..but its 17 deg right now .when lights on finishes I turn the temp on inkbird down 4 deg c and usually it will stay above that..exhaust fan is plugged into that and and is turned down on fan controller so it doesnt drop the temp in there quickly and in turn keeps the rh around 50-51,but today it’s cool so temp dropped quickly the rooms not getting warm enough so the rh climbs even with a 4ft 200w bar light can’t keep it above 22 ..rh got to 60 so I caught it just in the nick of time and turned the dehuey on.tomorrow temps go back to 23-24 c so I will b able to have the dehuey off till dark.save on power..plants are really good .perking up right to lights off.light is 32’ away.I will let these ones stretch abit as they are pretty short.got the node count up with ea plant having 18-20 branches so I can think about topping now…

They’re looking Awesome. Some big fans on them. Nice and bushy.
 
yeah this strain certainly throws out nice big fan leaves.I will start taking them off soon starting from the bottom and taking off some lower branches that won’t do much..
Nice and short is how I like them and this lumatek led fixture tends to keep most strains short plus I upped the mono silic in veg to keep them more squat as I was intending to veg them an extra week but if they get any bigger it will turn into a jungle in there more than ever.they were looking a little down in veg but they certainly came alive in flower.

Beginning of day 4 .first bit of maintenance done..topped them and cleaned up the bottoms.seems they are short there wasn’t many lower dud branches to take .I will leave them alone for abit just gradually taking the big fan leaves off.they should like the extra air getting up there skirt now..rh has picked up now and keeping the ship steady at around 55% give or take.😃.

Going on a few years now easily.pretty much set and forget Zen….I love it 💪..ive tried running it closer at a 100% soon as I put them in flower they will tacoe abit only cause I’m going from 315cmh to 630 watt..so when I can i will give them acweek at 450w last week of veg with the light at 36’ then at 630 in flower same height and they love it.I just let them grow to the ligh…by the time stretch has finished they are around 24’ away which is there sweet spot..so I’ve been sticking to that as my best grow are at that distance.I could run closer but yield and health of the plants is great so there’s no need to tinker.I’m one of those guys …if it isn’t broken don’t fix it…I’ve been wanting to get the light you have for veg..how short is it keeping your girls..

I’ve had it maybe a year. No info or recommendations when I got it so had to use the UK info. They have NA out now.

I do great with it until week 5 flower. Then burn shows up. Plants just get so big I run out of head room. Next round I’m trying mainline. No more unintended 4’+ plants. 🤣

But my one true complaint is the dimming. 0-25-50-75-100 just sucks, in my experience. Better off with a typical 0-100 and use a meter. Pretty sure it’s just so they can sell their controller.

So until I get my grows shorter I can’t give a fair review.
 
Yeah I agree they should have 0-100 as I could lower the intensity towards the end better...we have the lumateks here..they are a pretty dear light…how far are you keeping your fan away at canopy .I lifeed my fan up a little more and my girls didnt tacoe as much.early on they would start to taco at week 5-6 same as you bud.try reducing your room temp a little …what are your temps and height setting at week 5 of flower..

have you tried running your nite temps closer to you day temps..that helps heaps during stretch

Planning to buy the ks5000 for my 4x4 with my tax return. So ive also been thinking about getting 2 of the Controller 69 pros from AC Infinity.
Then i can run both the ks3000 and ks5000 0-100 instead of 0-25-50-75-100.

I have the controller 529 from before they were even bluetooth lol, and then the Bluetooth controller 67, which i accidentally threw away when i got it, so it has a broken lcd screen so you have to look wt it dead on at like 6 inches away or you cant see it.... kinda makes it a pita.
But i guess thats what you get when you try to set up a grow and build a house all at the same time 🤷🏻
 
How does that work with the controller do you plug the light into it or something Goody

You have to get accessory dongles and then it all just plugs into the controller.

I was looking at other options but im only familiar with the name TrolMaster, and theyre like 300 dollars. I need 2 so im looking at the aci 69 pro+ at 140 each.

Cool I’ll look into that.I do have a Gavita el2 here maybe I could use.I bought it years ago when I started out with the Gavita 6/750..never bothered to use it…cost like 700 bucks.can get them as cheap as 300 now..probably less.

They run about $1200 here, i don't even have that invested in my 3x3 and 4x4 combined since 2 of my lights were free lol.

i Think it was going to cost me 3 gs lol.fuck that hahaha…gavita going that well they don’t need to expand into our country…wankers 😆
 
Pretty sure it was growers choice hydro store back in 2018-19..I’m not sure if it was the same place oe whether they were just starting to make there own.it’s been soo long I might b mistaken the wrong place.
 
The donor Zamal dreams.notice I’ve taken all the shoots off the branches bar the top 5 or so,was intending to keep bout 3 .it’s a cutting taken from a plant just starting to bud so she’s a monster crop plant and that’s the reason why I’ve taken all the shoots off it would get soo messy and uncontrollable so that is the best thing to do..she’s just a donor plant anyway that I will chuck some pollen off the reversed plants for seed.the bitch is drinking 6+ litres a day in coco perlite and getting plenty of dry backs with some slight droop of the tops..it recovers that fast when I go get more feed for her the tops have recovered within 5 mins..this bitch is only getting 580 ppm veg nutes and looks great.just goes to show they don’t need much at all.its just about to start budding in a week..well hopefully it does as it will b late..I’ve hit the sunset sherbet with reverse spray twice and it’s not working.this time i wil give it more dark time than before..I’m running out of spray so I hope what I have left will work..the donor is to the right of the zamal and you can just see the reversal behind that..strong smell coming off it too for a vegging plant.that too will bud soon.660E375E-330A-4BCD-8812-A076EB988F8A.jpegAC75A78E-B342-4B92-BF4C-4E8ED6C21CE9.jpeg
