This run of Sativa dominants finished quick. I could cut the last today but I am too lazy and I've been cleaning it up of any trash. I still have young ones but they'll finish while photos veg. . I'm looking forward to trying out this gear. I do have a plastic storage closet that I think would work. I also have an air purifier I can break out to catch pollen. I plan to cut off everything but just a couple branches. Shit if I screw up and pollinate everything, worse has happened. I don't sell shit so I'd have a ton of beans. The autos would produce a fast flowering photo run. I got nothing to lose trying and learning. Man I been waiting on the title for my old car to come in the mail. I lost the original in the wreck. I went 3 weeks ago and ordered it for $22. I was still punch drunk I guess cause I ordered it for the wrong car lol. Now I gotta go back tomorrow. I'm taking a photo of the dash plate and the door sticker. Lol, I have to idiot proof everything now. Found out reading medical reports that my brain cracked my skull it jumped so hard. Crazy..we'll talk to ya later!

Have you looked into their "adlite" supplement bars yet? I have a few fc8000s I added the old uv45(uva and ir) bars to and was blown away by the difference....the new bars are better because they can be controlled independently.
Nice work!

I have a few of the uv/ir lights but haven’t really used them properly yet.. how are you running them if you don’t mind me asking?
I’ve heard everything from only running them for 30 mins twice a day to just turning them on and leaving them…
I did look at those tho.. might have been tempted to buy a green spectrum one for canopy penetration but They only had red and blue from memory.

Like I said mine are the old style uv45 bars so no way to time them independently without more effort than I was willing to put into it....so I just run them both uv/ir at 1 hr on and 2 hrs off with the main light schedule throughout the entire grow....well once in veg, although I have forgot to turn them off and seedlings got it too without any horrible side effects. Only thing I do is watch for plants to start growing toward the add on bars and I know I either need to increase main light intensity or cut add ons time. I noticed improved bud density and potency(I know this is still up for debate) along with better yield.
That said I have seen guys do alot more with them like Emerson effect and actually manipulating usually short cultivars into stretching more with the ir and all kinds of other things way over my head lol. I have them in all my tents now...that's how sold I am. The new ones are the shit though...you can time them individually to mimic mother nature much closer than possible before.

Good info, thanks mate. I’ll hook mine up again in one room and compare.

I have a plant that is very unusual acting. I started this thing a few days before the trip. 4/20 was the actual sprout date. I returned to awareness around May 9 and transplanted it to a 3g pot. It was still just 2 small leaves. It took off and is now large. It's growing fast . It's been 44 days from sprout and not a single pistil. That's a long time for Mephisto gear for me.It's been 2-4 weeks every plant I've ran of theirs but this baby keeps going. Too bad I don't remember the strain lol. I do know it's either MBAP x Iced n' Baked or Grape Crush. Both good ones but geesh this is wild. Got fans the size of dinner plates. Chopped the last Sativa dominant last night. Readied things for a photo run. Got the room light sealed. Soon as I get some beans it's on!

Dude, my friends gift had Blueberry Hashplant, Space monkeys, KosherKush and some other cool strains. All 4 of the bbhp I started are growing. It feels surreal having plenty of good beans rt after I was bummed about running out. Now I'm gonna have to level up and start running clones or something. My space is tiny. I'm going to try that sexing cuttings trick you mentioned when they get big enough. After running autos so long I'm going to train the fk outta these. BTW. The auto I started on 4/20 just threw a few white pistils on the main top. Nothing elsewhere. That's over twice as long as any of mine has taken to start flowering. Oh well, looks like I'm back to photos anyway. Good ones from what y'all that have ran them say.

Oh nice CP! That is some lovely strains to play with right there! I went away for a week right after pruning my veg room back hard and came back to a jungle! Haha.. mind you I also had bloody spider return with a vengeance in my flower room also so that was a bummer.. have tried hitting the plants with homemade pepper spray but I recon it’s going to mess with the bud flavour.. oh well. Live and learn.
