GDB: Old Dog -- New Tricks

Still going gangbusters in both grow spots (though I kinda miss seeing the CL in whatever shape it's in), and congrats on being the spanker rather than the spankee! 🎳

Hey, a coddled seedling is a happy seedling.. 🌱 🌱 🌱 😁
 
morning GBD, we talking 10 pin or candlepin ? I didn't know if people still went bowling 🎳, I just figured kids probably did it online. I use to do candlepin as a kid and when I got older my big brother tried to show me how to do 10 pin. but being a lefty an they only had right handed balls I just never got the hang of it. I used that left handed excuse for whatever I couldn't do 😉 I can remember when bowling was on tv,geez the good ole days... oh and by the way your plants look amazing

Well, that ain't gonna' happen. I'm too tired to do a bunch of typing right now. That bowling match (3 games) has taken its toll on me.

Plant still look Great !!
 
Hello gang and Happy Sunday!


PHLIZON FD8000​

I've been so caught up in trying to dial in this coco with the swicks that I've barely mentioned that I and the plants are getting pretty lit over here!

Thanks again to @PhlizonGrowLight and 420 Magazine for this much appreciated prize for my JOTY win!

The Phlizon FD8000 is a 1,000 watt full-spectrum LED. In layman's terms, that means it bright and powerful. :)

A solid build, it's a little heavy but not too heavy to handle. (It's not twice as heavy as my 500w light!)

I won't regurgitate all of the features highlighted on Phlizon's website. You can see for yourself HERE.

And I'm not going to review this light like I'm really up on light "stuff." I'm not. I figure the brighter the better and I don't give the tech specs much attention, at least not as much as I probably should. :straightface:

-----------------------------

After quickly un-packing it and setting it up (all easy) I stumbled with using the the light at the outset. This is mostly because I'm a stoner. There was no Stoner warning label saying "Warning: This light may twice as powerful as what you're replacing it with." Had I done a little reading about how Phlizon recommends using this model I may have avoided this mishap. I didn't. So the plants got overdosed with light at the beginning. Three of them were able to pull through. The exiled Cosmic Lights, not so much.

That said, this is one fine light!

Covers my 5x5 like a blanket. Even though I'm only growing 3 plants I'm certain it could handle twice as many plants (or more) in the same space. It doesn't run real hot for a light that's so powerful and - an added bonus -- it looks great in my 5x5!

That's my bushy girls on yesterday, Day 13.

Some time this week I'm going to clean them up and thin them out. It's that time. The BC in the rear is already starting to produce pom poms. The plants up front will be right behind her!

What you call "candlepin" we call "duckpin." I started out bowling duckpin as a kid. My mom had me on the alleys at 4 years of age! So, I bowl ten-pin now.

I couldn't wait to be able to lift the "big balls," as I called them!

The first two games were to remove the rust Stone (150, 151), but I finished with a 227! That's not too shabby after such a long layoff.

When I stopped bowling it was to pursue golf, Smoke. I had a 214 average bowling and I'm fairly bad at golf. Go figure!

Thanks for your time.

Have a wonderful and peaceful Sunday.

PEACE
 
They are a beast of a light that's what I was using on my last Canuk comparative grow 1 in each tent.
Congratulations

I feel like I remember my PB being a 138... this is why I don't bowl on league night. I don't need that kind of negative reinforcement. :rolleyes:
 
Well done on that PHLIZON light showcase GDB...looks like excellent coverage and the plants are loving it!

Great post, I've upgraded also and love the results. Are those 5gal fabric pots?
 
What a fine Light! It really does look good in your 5 x 5!
 
Highya GDB,

Congratulations on that light!! Your little (almost big girls) ladies seem to be loving it! They have a gorgeous color, but I couldn't see the tops. I'm sure they're gorgeous as always. They were in the last pics you posted. Happy Smokin'
 
Looking good GDP. Actually, duck pin and candle pin are different. Duck pins are shaped more like regular pins just smaller and shorter. I've only seen candle pin up north, long skinny pins that have no action! I don't know that I've scored above a 50 with candle pins :) I'll take 10 pin any day, although mostly on wii these days ;)
