Don - Im doing 3 cheesewrecks atm, 2 under a 400 and 1 under a 250w hps in a different location. Ive got the 250 setup DWC, using vita link max nutes and hydrogen peroxide once a week. The 2 under the 400 are in a soil mix ( John innes no.2, perlite, sand and worm castings ). I wanted to try the humboldt gear on my soil girls to see if i can get results like i do in DWC. I am trying to get a cam, will try get some pics up soon. oh and i use Canna terra nutes on the soil girls.

I stuck a clone in some rockwool, threw that in some shitty dirty DWC tub with barely working airstones and let it do it's thing :) was vegged for about 3 weeks. The pheno i had was a stonker of a yeild both times.

It's totally strain dependent though, the cheese in the same conditions is looking at hopefully 2 ounces.

Thinking 12/12 as i don't have room for a 3rd large plant wihtout adding my spare 400w, so am just gonna chuck a handful of clones down the back of the cab here and there.

It's a really really good smoke, i've a new flatmate arriving in like 45 minutes and thought a hot bath would have sorted me out, i'm still smashed, oh dear. Funny flavour though, a pot pouri nature to it. Found a couple of not quite viable seeds in already though so maybe not an ideal plant to mother. Got a BF LSD germinating, see what his other gear is like, i've heard lots of controversy over the farm.

The scales do state "NOT LEGAL FOR TRADE" on them :lol: but i don't see how they could be too far out, i'll certainly need all 3 1.5L mason jars for it

hey guys how's it going??? hope everyone's good?

ttt she's looking lovely mate!!!

i'm after a little info if any1 has any on a strain called pr1 it was or is a clone only strain that was doing the rounds and i've got seeds of it crossed with nl, they're old seeds now but i'm gonna give them a try in a couple of weeks after our next inspection, it's typical i germd some dp blueberry a few days ago and potted them up last night so gotta wait for now as i can't set the big tents up just yet, any1 tried the pr1? just wondering what to expect? the northern lights puts my mind at ease a little but not knowing what the pr1 plays on my mind because with the luck i've been having don't want to start them and find out they'll need to flower for an eternity lol

cheers las i been off the grid for the most part the last few weeks mate making sure alls good before getting going again, i even been using my old lappy etc just in case the worst happened but everythings calmed down now and i even apologised to the neighbours i fell out with and they're happy for us to get along and stop fighting, so i thought i'd start up small again and just grow for my percy it's keeping the misses happy at the same time, she wasn't happy with my 6 x 600w plan, i got up to 3 before she stated getting upset and after the recent stress i agreed to calm down and keep it small lol so i'm off again. i been looking in on you mate and gotta say i'm impressed with the scrogs i was showing the misses and she said can't you grow plants like that babe they're smaller than yours and look much better lol so i might be picking your brains in future mate about working those branches under the screen and getting the bucket of buds as the misses calls it lol

I have a few questions uk growers...

Im considering a budbox with 4 x 600w air cooled lights - im just wondering how many amps each bulb and ballast will draw?

I have a 30amp circuit in my bedroom

Also on a detection note... Is it ok to have a grow tent in your bedroom - are they detectable by helicopters or do you need to insulate them?

Many thanks

Amps = wattage / voltage

amps = 600 / 240 (or whatever it is i forget :P)

Then multiply for number of lights. Take into account the type (gauge?) of wiring used between the breaker and the ballasts. The fuse may be able to handle it but the wiring might not be up for that kind of work.

As to helicopters, well a guy recently had his house "raided" after a helicopter spoted a guinea pig heater in the garage, so i am left wondering on the capabilities. The story however seemed to make out that it was all consentual and no warrant had been obtained. Basically if they do spot it they may try and just talk their way in. If they have a warrant, you'll know damned well about it before you know what's hit you, if they don't, just tell em to bugger off ya land!

orange bud and mekong high 12-12 from seed 2 weeks old.............:leaf:
i just grew out 6 orange bud(soil) and although my yeild wasnt great( due to me being a tight cunt and not buying new bulbs as well as being a fuckin forgetful and lazy alcoholic bastard with a coke problem), the end result was beautiful(not a word u hear mant scotsmen use(try sayin it in scots/ heavy glasgow accent and you'll understand why). the buds were big , sticky and the smell of orange and lemon was the nicest i have Ever smelled. best of luck del.
