Skunnymonster's Multi-Strain Perpetual LED Grow

[susat66]

This light guy , he's deffo a one man band, I can buy those drivers today, and delivery tomorrow morning, but u will get something hand built, and could always visit him. I started with mainlining and think that would be a great introduction to fluxing as it is very similar but not as demanding and you still get an above average yield, also I'm sure some strains are better than other, skunny will have experienceon that, good to see revert over here. I feel fi today, I think no food lots of vod and smas downa Chinese is not the way to keep your head clear. It feels like the food did me more damage lol.
I assume u have light mans full address and telephone number, not mobile. Its worth a quick call, say ur broadband or computer if down and u know the rest. 96.can I paste bits from SS lights on here.
Well got a load of kings pan , gonna try and make some fan boxes, and cure my air pump noise and vibrations(Halia 60lt/min its the loudest thing I've got. I want a S&P Silent fan £180 though.) Will need to put SSR on hold, will try to work out how to pm you a proper linkATB

Hey Skunny, we haven't met yet. I've seen your posts on mutual friend's threads.
All caught up on your journal finally. Sorry bout the lighting issues. Sounds like you're on top of it.
Keep it Green!

 

[skunnymonster]

Yes mate deffo a one man band, he lives in Spain so I'm not going round knocking on his door. I've just had another email off him & he's just waffling doo-doo. If he'd have been straight up from the start it'd be fine but him telling porkies & moving goalposts is out of order imo. Mainlining is a dirty word on here bro, it's an American term for jacking/shooting up with smack. Glad you feel fine buddy, just swerve that chinky in future, you've probably eaten some decomposed road kill. Not sure if you can paste on here but PM me & I'll have a look. Good luck building stuff & losing noises, you can't beat rubber for getting rid of vibration noise, cork works too

 

[skunnymonster]

cajuncelt, I've seen your posts over at Paytons yard among others It's good to have you along & to make your acquaintance Yea the lightings a bit of a bummer but they'll get here eventually, I've got my Mars to keep the girls lit, I'm just pissed at him for telling me lies. It'll all be worth it in the end though

 

[susat66]

Well that's me, but ask revert, and the term came from an American called Nugbuckets. Ive blanked that thc site ffs I can't post , read half the threads, jus don't understand their methods whatever. Hopefully you're doing better. Have fun, pissed off at present btw lol

 

[skunnymonster]

With that style do you just bend the plant to one side rather than topping it & making a T? Join the club with being pissed off mate, I hope thing sort themselves out buddy

 

[PeytonManning]

You top it and make a T, but then you top it again and a few more times depending on amount of colas you want. My SB in flower right now is set up for 8 colas

 

[skunnymonster]

Ta for that matey, I just presumed your SB was a flux

 

[PeytonManning]

You gotta look close, but you'll see it. That plant vegged only about a month long and is still 5 inches taller than my HGK. Don't know if it's the genetics or the fact that mainline was less stressful on the plant, but it's coming along. But it is a lot easier to set up

 

[Keegan420]

Whats up skunny!! All caught up!

Bummer about your light order dude, id be pissed to. Gotta hate someone who can't keep their word, thats just bad business. Remind me who your light order was from again? It was a osram or something right?

Do you think the lady your fluxing hermied because of stress, or do you think its genetics? Fluxing seems like a stressful training method to me, thats why I ask

How far along are your flowering plants now? They are looking real nice and happy!

 

[skunnymonster]

Yo Keegan, good to see you

Yea the light guy has really pissed me off. I'd rather be told straight than constantly fed lies & excuses. The light is a hand built panel fitted with Osram SSL80 diodes but I'm not revealing who the guy is. It's a secret

I think the hermied flux is probably genetics, the stress of fluxing wont have helped it but I doubt it's the cause. It's not put me off doing another though, I love the style

I'm useless at knowing days/dates of what I'm doing with my plants but as it's still early in flower I can just about remember The flux & Toxic are about 2 weeks in flower, the two Tangies are about a week. Pheno #1 is a couple of days behind pheno #2 which will be easy to see in my pictures I'll upload tonight. #1 has just started to stretch & #2 is well into the stretch.

They do look happy & healthy mate, I'm using Plant Magic nutes which are a UK company & they make their range to balance with UK water & I'm impressed with how it's performed. I've had zero issues throughout this grow so hopefully that will continue through flower

 

[revert]

What light did you order skunny? Any pics?
Good to see Doozy is here as well. I don't go to the other place anymore. The constant led bashing makes me feel unwelcome.

@Light Addict, silent bob rocks mate!!
@susat66, you got a diary on the go mate? I received your PM but can't answer yet.

 

[skunnymonster]

I've no pictures of the light until it comes mate & I'm keeping it a secret who made it but I'll put all the specs up & some pics next Friday if it arrives as promised.
Doozy loves it here & has a great set up, have you seen his journal/diary yet?
I know what you mean with that site, it's full of cretins. I'm only popping in every now & again just to prove to the cavemen that you can grow some great buds with christmas tree lights I love it on here, there's no one who thinks they are better than anyone else & the only LED bashing you'll see is with the LED sponsored companies & that's only to get answers to their crazy claims
Susat doesn't have a diary, he's gonna put his pics on here

Are you growing at the mo & planning on doing a journal on here?

 

[revert]

I'm trying a scrog now mate. Got a dutch passion night queen on the go. Only a 2 week old baby
A mate (on another board) is mentoring me cause I've never done a scrog before, so I have a diary there.

My last cdb kush grow went tits up, my own fault though. Didn't repot before flower and she got root bound. Got a 20L pot now. Live and learn heh.

I'll take a look at Doozy's grow. Cheers for the heads up

 

[revert]

Oh and when you say your new leds come from Spain then there is only one led company that comes to mind. Start with E and end with an O lol

 

[skunnymonster]

You could do both styles on here mate & get twice the advice LA will hold your hand all the way through your flux & I can chip in too Night Queen sounds like a good strain to scrog & to smoke
Shame about your last grow bud but like you say, you've learnt something from it. You'll be cooking on gas with 20L pots

Your guess on the lights is wrong mate, but a good try. He was very hard for me to find as he's just a one man band & obviously has nothing to boost his website in searches.

 

[Light Addict]

As Skunny says above if anyone ever needs a helping hand just Holland at me

 

[skunnymonster]

If you don't like pictures, you're going to hate this update I've got over 50 for ya The reason for this is I have given them a good defol & lollypop tidy up so there's before & after pics so you can see the difference & how much light is now getting through. For anyone who wants to know how I do it, I use a selective defol method which is to remove all inwardly pointing fan leaves then any others that block bud sites on one side of the branch, this usually opens up light all through the canopy. I've also removed any secondary shoots at the bottom of the branches that wont produce anything & rubbed off any new shoots. Doing all of this removes the ability for it to produce popcorn & it focuses all its energy on the colas Sorry if you knew all that but I know grannyT was interested in defol so it's a lesson for her & any newbies to defoliation.
Right on to the picture update, starting in the nursery

I'm going to have a veg room extension tomorrow & I'll re-pot all the youngsters

Into the flower room in a bit

 

[skunnymonster]

Right I'm back & into the flower room we go. I've taken some height measurements last Fri 5th & again today 8 days later. Fluxy started at 10" & is now at 12" so only 2" stretch. Toxic was 22" & is now 25" so a 3" stretch, Tangy #1 was 12" & is now 17" so a 5" stretch & #2 was 14 1/2" & now is 21" so a massive 6 1/2" stretch. I've had to raise #1 up to keep the canopy level. The base off one of my old auto pots is the ideal height

Fluxy

Toxic before the defol

The two Tangies, pheno #1 on the left

#2 I started the defol on her this morning so she was mainly a light defol but a good tidy up on her under carriage

#1 after defol & re-lollypop

#2 after

Toxic

I think they're all in the right order, my 20 bag is a nice strong weed so this is very taxing on my brain

This is a fluxy arm that has been constantly producing nuts & nanners & now wont produce feck all. There's a few like this

The final comparison pics for tonight

I hope it didn't bore ya & you can see that I have created lots of light through the canopy whilst still retaining a decent amount of leaf Keep it green peeps
