I have 1 Green Sun ZNet4, 1 Top Led Mar II 400 here and 1 on the way, 5 48x3, 1 96x3 and I gifted 1 96x3w..... Honestly so far (I have not harvested anything yet from under the ZNet4) the Mars II has most certainly grown the most dense and largest buds to date by far and even though I haven't harvested the Wild Thai from the Green Sun I don't think they will be larger or harder than the Mars II. Now with all that said I like using the reflectors best. I like the bloom and veg switch.... they virtually have no heat issues at all, not that the Mars II is horrible but it is more of an issue than the 3w reflectors or the Znet4. Then between the ZNet or the Top Led 3w reflectors... I would go with which ever one would give me the best price. The ZNet4 is exactly half way between the 48x3w and the 96x3w in size and power and guess with that it would come down to footprint size I needed. The ZNet4 is square and for about the same money you can go up to the Top Led 96x3w and it is oblong which works in my closet a lot better than the square footprint.... IMO the difference between them is strictly in what size the area is you need to cover and who will give ya the best price. I think the quality is there in both Green Sun and Top Led and I have jars of really good smoke grown by both types of Top Leds and it will only be a few more weeks until I am smoking the Wild Thai from under the ZNet4. After I harvest my girl I will know for sure if I stand by this assessment but I think it will stay the same......

awesome comparative paragraph, Dennise!! i will be buying a single "panel" this fall.

I still have to do my homework, but this is great help! Do any of these mfg's mentioned have a "panel" strictly for vegging?

or are most configured for accomodating veg b& bloom, in one panel??

Not trying to step on anyone's toes but I seen on Top Led site that the marsII 400 can be ordered set up for veg or bloom but it cost like $80. more then the standard full spectrum trichomes

 

[ChopBro]

re: Spimp's 150W HPS Bubba Kush Grow - New & Improved with Less Ghetto!

And Yes trichomes we are both looking & i hope both not buying the s__t the manufacturers are slinging ..... the proof is in the pudding ...or in the bud to be specific & my money is hard to come by so it take more than a song & dance(unless it's really good song & the dancer better be hot) but it's gona take me a little more research on them before I make the jump

Really loving that screen Can't express how much I love it !! I can't wait to make one like it

That dust looks like diotomaceous earth. Maybe you have a fairy godgrower

FYI those five petal plants that are connected together by a runner are Virginia Creeper.
They can take over your open source in about a week.
They are a good indicator of good sunlight.
They can itch like poison oak but it goes away in two days.

nice RADO great having a guy like you around, a guy that is "in the know" on the great outdoors

LOL

I'm a city boy with exactly 12 months experience living in the woods. I only knew that plant because it grows in the meadow and woods of my backyard.
Yeah need to learn the plants in your back yard, right

Just so happens I moved into a yard covered in poison oak, Virginia creeper, ferns and skunk cabbage.

No it Ain't

Good Weed everyone.
Gonna share some random thoughts this morning...

Never take one of your three month, long vegged girls and put her outside while you keep the others indoors. You will be so pissed about how good the Sun grows the one girl, your indoor grow will become like watching paint dry.

Also, I don't think I will be doing a legit SCRoG again. I like to be able to pick up my girls and inspect way more often than is possible under the screen. Unless I see some serious weight gain to prior grows, This screen is going away. I can't lift the pot to check weight. I can't spin the girls around to inspect them. I'm 100% its my ocd issues and others would do fine, but for me its an issue.

On a personal note. Mrs. Spimp has been having some health issues. In the last month she has passed out once, and had two other episodes that were basically a half-conscious feinting with a serious drop in bp. I'm worried to death. She was been to several doctors and finally the cardiologist found 'something' and we have a lot more doctor visit's in our future until we can figure this thing out. Last year her rather young mother was having some issues and went to the doctor on a Monday. She passed away that Thursday. That fast. So as you can see, with that kind of family history I can use all the Karma and prayers you wanna send our way.
Sorry about the downer, but it has been very heavy on my mind and heart and this is about the only place I can share.


p.s. I'll have a smoke report and some pics of the Sour Deisel up at some point today. All I can say is

Good Morning Spimp

My Thoughts and Positive Vibrations to You and Your family

Looking forward to your smoke report.

Be Well my friend!

re: Spimp's 150W HPS Bubba Kush Grow - New & Improved with Less Ghetto!

Never, never, never ever apologize for posting an update of someone you adore and their health issues. Always post that.

Realize, not all health problems go directly to the kids. I mean, definitely get to the doctors, make sure they are up on their shit by asking if they have been to recent conferences or lectures, etc. I ask every time I see my doctor what his last conference was about. If he doesn't answer, I question why he didn't go. Period. Take control of the doctors, you pay their salary, not the other way around.

I am going to say Medicine Buddha mantras for your lovely wife.

Tayata/Om/Bekandzay Bekandzay/Maha Bekandzay/Radza Samudgata/Soha

That is the mantra. It purifies past negative karma so health isn't the way it ripens.

peace

Loads of towards Mrs Spimp!

Unfortunately I know how medical incompetence works, I been having chronic headaches for 15 years now and no medical explanation. You have no idea how fortunate you are for having a diagnosis even if it is premature Not knowing what is wrong is the worst.

Like gardenfaerie said, genetics works in mysterious ways, if you do "inherit" a disease it is usually something way back on your family tree, and rarely from parents.

To a healthy and quick recovery

Joining in with you GardenFaerie

Tayata/Om/Bekandzay Bekandzay/Maha Bekandzay/Radza Samudgata/Soha

Listening to a Deva Premal version on YouTube.


I chanted this one day with Deva Premal and Krishna Das as lead vocals, Mitten on Electric Guitar, Benjy Werthimer on Flute, Ty Burdsoe on Tabla, and Ram Das on bad jokes

part of a three day chanting that was awesome fun and happy.

These are all full spectrum but Sara with Top Led will make it anyway you want it but it will take her a bit longer and a bit more money.......

Many prayers and thoughts my friend....

re: Spimp's 150W HPS Bubba Kush Grow - New & Improved with Less Ghetto!

Yes, I really like Deva Premal. When I chant I do not use music too often. There is a tune to chanting, I think, but not music UNLESS of course, I am chanting with Ram Das. He makes it a lot of fun and lots of smiling and happy. I like that.

I am not a magical thinker, but I do believe in a few things. Reincarnation/rebirth, and most certainly and without a doubt, karma. Unshakeable for me. That is the basis of my faith. In Christianity it is everlasting life. Buddhists call that rebirth and in the case of recognized lama's like The Dalai Lama, reincarnation because he is the same every birth. Different body, same enlightened being.

May Mrs. Spimp be the recipient of all my good merit from beginningless time so she may find answers and get relief and our Spimp won't have to be so worried. May we all receive those same blessings. May all your children receive all my good merit from beginningless time so they may purify any of their own past karmic imprints and develop into beautiful adult humans...this is my wish for the earth.

We are all the same. Exactly the same.
