A holiday outside of Canada would be amazing! I could definitely use one of those! Instead I’m stuck at home with a pregnant wife (you may know what that’s like, maybe not. I really wouldn’t know). No matter how much I use my imagination, It’s just not the same as drinking on a beach.
Congrats on the baby! Enjoy! Is it your first?
Thank you so much BudgetLed!! This will be our second child. Our first is a smart (too smart) beautiful 2.5 year old daughter. She’s adorable!! Sometimes she’s lucky she’s adorable!
Lol I’m kidding!Let me ask you something budgetLED! Your making a great name for your self, and I see you popping up in a lot of new grows... I really don’t want to have to call you budgetled everytime.. could I ask for a name, to refer you as, rather then BudgetLED all the time? Doesn’t have to be your real name.. just something you know..?
Like, thanks Steve!

That is awesome. I recently had my second child. Two boys here. One is 5 months and then the other is 4. Sounds like you have a little smarty pants on your hands! Wait to you add that second one in the mix.
I'm Justin - one of the owners and a fellow grower myself. I am the one typically interacting on here. I do wish we would have come up with a sweet screen name here. I just thought we were supposed to use our BN.
Ps - enjoy the free time while it lasts. When that second one is added, you will have your hands full.

Update
Hey Hey and Thank you everyone for the kind wishes! I agree @MrSauga the traveling really does take a lot of energy and I should book another one lol. Not until the new year now though. I’ll probably surprise my wifey with something for our 1year anniversary and maybe return to Jamaica! Woo Woo!
Okie dokie, so I’m going to make this a super quick update this evening! I will start by letting you know everything is alive! Some needing a little TLC and some defoliation but overall in good health. Mothers are booming and really filling up the 3x3 I’ll need to do some serious cleanup work tomorrow and get them trimmed back to allow some better Airflow.
Now no pictures from the group 3 ladies today because I want to showcase them all tomorrow with a defoliation and training session! I will say this though.... this 120W Kit from Justin @BudgetLED is kicking it off right!!! Extra thick branches and lush foliage growth this light is performing better than I could anticipate! Can’t wait to get these girls into the big tent under the 500W juicing them up into some fat heavy buds
But like I said short and sweet so that’s all folks! I’ll get a huge photo bomb update tomorrow on here of all the young ones and some testing of more buds continue!
Until tomorrow I wish you all a fantastic rest of your day!
Stay Medicated!!
Yo Dutch, that clip-on fan, is it the vivosun (or whatever) one? How do you like it? I've though about getting a pair of those, but may just stick with the USB ones like I have for my main tent.
Wow congratulations Justin!! Sounds like you have a beautiful family!!
I come from a family of three boys (me being the youngest) so all my life I had it Burned into my brain, that I was supposed to spit out boy swimmers... boy was I surprised cutting into the cake when we were revealing the gender of the baby... I almost look disappointed in the pictures, I really wasn’t, just shocked, was all
I can hope for a boy, for the next one, but the fact in the matter, is I’ll be happy with another daughter as well!yeah I’m a lil nervous to what’s going to happen here in about 6-7 months... I know what to expect, but it doesn’t make it easier! lol
Thank you for reaching out to me Justin! And don’t worry about having a cool name, your being professional! And there’s nothing quite “as cool” as being professional!! No harm done! We now know your name, and I guarantee there will be a lot of people calling you Justin now!
It’s crazy how fast the word spreads here on the
We will talk soon Justin!! Have a great day sir!!
@Dutchman1990 good to see your back! I can see through the interwebs, you’ve got a gnarly sunburn don’t ya?

Hey Multi,
It is the vivosun clip on and I do really like it! Works well and moves a good amount of air! If it burns out I’ll probably purchase another! I use the hurricane 6” fans for under canopy circulation but they don’t oscillate just stationary!
Sunburned .... I am indeed haha! It happens when your a pale fair skinned Dutchman like me lolWow congratulations Justin!! Sounds like you have a beautiful family!!

I burn easily so have to take precautions. Burns ain’t no fun!
Unless they are killer side burns, the kind of burns you smell when you swagger in the room.
True that lol
The hunt continues!!!
Good to know, thanks!
I've been on the fence with those. It seems that they have had some quality issues recently, and it's making me nervous. $60 for a pair of those, or $44 for a pair of the USB ones like I have. Not 100% sure on it yet. I like the pole clip for sure. The biggest difference is the USB ones are 2.5w, vs 20w for the vivosun.
And the USB ones do put out a nice amount of air, with 3 speeds to choose from. (They are made by "Yihunion", for reference on Mr. Bezos' site.) Even on high, they aren't going to knock your socks off, but the do pretty well I think.
However, they are also the typical desk clip-on, and can be a slight hassle to get mounted in a good spot. Also their 90* oscillation is a tick off. I think I'm seeing maybe 75*-80* instead of a full 90*. I need to check them more to see exact coverage, but it's a tick less than a full 90*. Maybe if you count from the outside edge, but I always go by the center.
I guess I could get 3 of these for the price of 2 vivo's, and still be 32.5w ahead of the game. (But still won't have nice brackets, and have to rig these up special.
)

Indeed it does!
Any fan will do! As long as you have good above and below canopy circulation you’ll be in good shape!Good to know, thanks!

Update
Hellooo everyone! As promised this picture packed update is going to be fun so let’s jump right in!
First is the Maple Cookies (reg) who began their training today!
A glimpse at the training tools!
Which helps you do this:
Being taken by surprise a few of them are already showing sex. I got some good closeups for show and if I’m wrong please jump in and tell me!
Out of 5 I have 3 showing signs of sex which I believe is 2Males and 1Female. 2 have yet to show anything but I’m sure they won’t be far behind.
I believe MC#1 and MC#6 are my males.
Maple Cookies #4 is my lovely female!
Moving along to the growbox these girls had exploded over my vacation and needed to start their training as well!
A Purple Punch is leading the group with vigour and size right now but the Glookies and GG4 are thick and stacked tight with some nice girth to those branches! A nice example of this @BudgetLED 120W kit working its magic!
Keep an eye out for the video later this evening! Until then I’ll leave you this beautiful squish of my Canuk Cookies which just oozes on the press into some terpene rich gold!
Enjoy and Stay Medicated

Very healthy happy ladies Dutch! Your right the grow box plants have really exploded since you left on vacation. Great start to the training when I saw the hole punch I thought are you going to punch holes in the leaves lol. Anyways looks great as usual keep it up bro.
Beautiful squeeze! I'm glad to watch you quadline these. I still have to try it. Nice work Dutch. Edit: Oh yea, welcome home!
Absolutely! I (currently) have an 8" vortex for underneath when it's needed, as well as a little USB clip-on fan that I put near the intake and get a little mini-vortex effect down below.
Whew! It wasn't just me! I ain't gonna lie, I was nervous for a minute. I was thinking some wild supercrop kind of thing or worse.
Then I saw the use, and damn that was a clever idea. I don't use the solo's myself at the moment, but in the future I'll remember that one!
