ok so i am back guys.sorry about that.things have been crazy.my health hasnt been quite up to par lately.needless to say ive been a bit lazy with this post,but i do want to put up my finished results for everyone.i harvested my la con,and the nl a while back.i wasnt very happy with them.but i found out i was feeding them way too much.every other day is close to toxic under leds.so i cut back to once every other week,and ohh my god do my girls love it.the smoke is great either way,but big nugs are what we are all after.last night i harvested my cyber crystal(which seemed to take forever,they were from the first batch with the la,and nl)and one of my mangos.i am much happier.my buds are where i want them to be,and once again potency is great.the buds on the kc brains mango,are very nice.these are the biggest buds ive grown,i mean all the way down to the soil lol.if you are sensitive to your plants needs,anyone can grow nice led buds like these.
now to catch everyone up on my more recent additions to my garden.i am currently growing "the skunk train"from dna genetics.basicly a bunch of their best strains somehow got pollinated by a heirloom skunk male out of holland.these were givin to me by attitude seedbank as a newsletter xmas gift.hell yeah presents from my seed bank.thats what im talking about.i have kushberryxskunk,kandykushxskunk,laconxskunk
og18xskunk,and sleestackxskunk.a total of about 50 free seeds all together(i placed like 3 orders,and then a friend gave me his because he had to stop for a while.i gave the sleestack away to my brotherinlaw.and am growing a handfull of the rest rightnow.
i also bought a 10lb aluminum tank and regulator off ebay.expensive but well worth it.i ordered a small 16x16x48 in tent for inside my closet,to house my males and seedlings.once i get my new light from lighthouse hydro i will be setting it all up....
i have started a breeding program.i already have some prime NL pollen frozen,and a blueberrykushxskunk male is getting ready to release his load.im going to breed the bluekushxskunk with my best mango(which gives off a nice gold hue,and the second best has a nice silver hue)im going to call it bluebanger or something crazy like that lol.its going to take a while to create a stable line but i seriously have all the time in the world.ive been reading a lot of info on breeding,and something famed breeded dj short recommends is using the male that shows sex the very last.apparently the early birds are reverting back to their non potent hemp ancestors.if anyone has any info on this i would love to hear your experiences.
lastly i am in the market for a new light.i almost got swindled.my current company i couldnt seem to reach.my emails wernt going through.i had sent pics of my grow and everything,so needless to say i was spooked.because i didnt get a call back from lighthouse hydro,i decided to start looking around.i found what at first i thought was the bet light ive ever seen.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280455415713&ssPageName=ADME:L:COSI:US:1123 this is the link.sounds great right.well after realizing none of my messages ever got to lighthouse,i spoke with their rep.he made some interesting points.they claim to use 3w and 1w diodes in this unit.sean says the housing they use will only fit 1w.also they just added nighttime green.plants do not benefit from green light at all.i actually just found an artical saying green light will harm your plants.i simply asked ben(im assuming the owner of hydroponicshut)to answer these small questions for me so i felt more secure,like i had originally.this is the email the guy sent me.you guys wont belive this.Lol.
Im sure the person telling you these things is extremely intelligent and can tell from our pictures alone exactly what leds we have in our products not to mention what housing we are using when we have not given the measurements out. Um yeah.
I have heard it all before and its typical in this industry.
1) We sell the highest quality grow lamps available and will put our products up against anyones.
2) We use the highest quality leds available.
3) You or whomever is spreading the disinformation regarding our company are welcomed to test our products.
Our competitors have purchased our products and you would think we would have a slightly less than perfect feedback by now if we were a scam ya think?
You received (well you have not even done that yet) the item for much less than it is worth which is why we do not sell these units on eBay.
If I honestly need to give more answers you can simply not pay for the item and we can call it a day.
Kind regards,
Benjamin
so now i am left with this whole debacle.go with hydrohut and maybe get a inferior product for more money.but shit man they offer a 90day satisfaction garauntee,it cant be that bad right?they even claim if your light should ever break during your grow they will ,mail a new one out asap.everything seems great on the surface.but thats how it is with these led companies.everyone is trying to bash everyone else and gain new customer or keep old ones.
lighthouse hydro has always been their for me.the rep answers my questions helps me with new things(like setting up my co2)and they have been as honest with me as they can be being salesmen...what it comes down to is i know what their product can do already.hydrohuts may be 160w and you can tailor in the spectrum you want but if the raw flowering power id off and im being mislead to think im getting 3w diodes and all these other claims.i just dont want to get swindled here .im sure all you other led-ers feel the same way.luckily i have already found lighthouse and gotham to rely on for my lighting needs.only issue i have now is for the 250 i won the 160w for,the best lighthouse can do is a 120w /highoutput for 240.im not sure what to do at this point.have any of you used the highoutput yet?what results have you gotten compared to the uv?well any way guys this is all that is new in the world of the savant.here are the pictures too.all mangos but the real tall guy.that was the cyber crystal,the last pic is of the NL,la con,and the cyber crystal.just to give you an idea of how big the buds get when you dont over feed them these three got way over fed.the mangos are freaking huge compared to these......
