Morning Porkstar

Do you reckon I should swap that low reading light which is an old Mars Hydro TS 1000 with the newer one in the Bloom Room?

I thought it would be more important for the new and better MH light to be on the veggers. But in the nature of full disclosure I also thought you could suffocate and die if you put a bucket on your head, so what do I know? Lol

Yeah put ya best lights in ya flower space!

Omg I’ve been so busy since getting home from work! Like just sitting now!

First a funny.

Me: I fucking hate craft!
Also Me: pass me my resin, my moulds and my selection of bling and sparkles…

Lolling!

I’m a walking talking contradiction, I really am. I poured them yesterday and the were set by this morning. The mobile base is a stalk from a harvested Bee. Going forward I’m going to resin a tiny leaf off each plant I grow.

So this morning I got a PM that said, I like your thinking turning your lights to accommodate more plants… but it’s a no.. lolllling! So they didn’t like my thinking at all! When I started to think about it they are right. It makes more work for me and zero difference. I have such shit ideas sometimes, and I don’t realise they are shit till someone says “yeah nah”. So I also got advised to get more reflective stuff on the lower walls and floor. I bought a roll of it, so I had some on hand. I got an early mark today, finished at 2:30om, so I got home and hit the ground running! I’ve also moved my lights down closer to my plants.

It’s like fucking Chernobyl in there! Lolllll!

The veg tent is stacking. Ester is finally growing her green mullet out and you can see a defs CarCanopy.

Shiny AF now!

At times for the non locals this thread must get a bit confusing.

Id like to just clarify that rugby is just a gathering of Neanderthal like individuals who don different colours and stand on opposing sides of a feild.

The aim is to push an opposition player ( bloke with different colours on) who has the ball onto the ground. Into the dirt. This goes on for a couple hours with a break thrown in when someone is too violent, or theres broken bones.

If you dont want to get squashed by another man that is built like a brick toilet you must throw an oval shaped ball backwards, or on ocassion kick it forwards.

Basically if you finished at primary level education youd love it.

Thank you! I was totally lost there…

Since this isn't a PC thread, F light meter apps for Android phones. They are absolute shit. I've tested multiple apps on several different phones. None of them work with a damn. Don't be a cheap ass and skimp on a $20-$30 meter when you've spent 10-20x that amount on the light.

I appreciate your advice, but for now I think I’ll watch and wait and see if I have yield improvements. I can already see improvements on the standard of bud, so I might be in the right track. Each girl in the Bloom Room is absolutely singing.

I’m not going to buy another light at this point, so spending money on knowing the exact lux isn’t best use of my coins. I’m happy with a ballpark figure, and one thing my phone app has taught me is my newer Mars Hydro will be best used in the Bloom Room.

Plants are perfect Tbizzal, I wouldn't buy another light either.

Imo, to improve yield is to have mature plants going into flower..longer veg=more yield.

G Gizzal! Yeah 4 lights are enough lol.

Basically what I'm saying is don't trust a phone app. Frankly from what I've found, if you follow the light manufacturers suggested power levels and hanging heights for each plant stage, you'll have lux numbers that correlate closely to the Royal Queen Lux meter article referenced earlier.

Thanks far

I have only ever used the Bloom brand light for plants in flower, so it’s on full. That’s actually why I had the new Mars Hydro light in the veg tent, coz I could dial it in. It has a dimmer and I’ve been using that to match growth. It’s been turned up to full mumbo for the first time in the bloom room today.

Do lights get dimmer over time? The difference in TS1000’s is cray!

They can. How long have you had it?

 

[Trala]

3 years.

 

[Melville Hobbes]

3 years.

Hmm. That shouldn't be long enough for it to lose much output. Usually they're rated for 50,000 or 100,000 hours (50,000 hours would add up to about 11 years of 12/12 every day) of light before they start to degrade, unless the diodes are being run at 100% of their max capacity.
You may want to contact Mars about it.

 

[StoneOtter]

And you and your wife would be welcome!

You bring the sour dough bread lol

We'll pick a loaf up o the limo ride over!

Bad news: I have ruined my backyard (temporarily I hope)

Good news: my Wedding Cake Auto is out of the fridge and has sat between 62%-64% for two days, and now it’s time to cure. For most her yield is underwhelming. For me she is almost double what I usually get, and I broke her main Coca-Cola early on with my heavy handed training. I’m stoked.

Final Yield: 82g or 2.9oz

Light that on fire!

Kk quick vent before I launch into this day.

So I’m being paid today as a nurse. But I won’t be nursing, I will be training. This sounds good on paper because there are so many areas I need to learn and improve on. Wound Care, Cardiac Care, having a better understanding of specific disease processes, honestly the list is endless. But that’s not what I will be learning today. Today I will spend 8 hours with a trainer who will be paid to teach us how to defend ourselves. To keep ourselves safe. To deescalate abusive situations. To help us deal with and reconcile workplace violence.

It’s disgusting that as a society it has come to this.

Please remember in a world where you can be anything, don’t be a cunt be kind.

On the upside, we get to hang out in free dress. We look like different people out of uniform lol.

One more thing to have to think about and is important! Your safety! Of course the insane patients as well!

Bout time ya said something normal ya fucking QUEENSLAND........ Er!!

Yeah just chill for a bit and see if you can notice a difference.
Might not notice much this run because they already half done but I promise next run you'll notice a difference!!
Like the other bloke said phone apps for light measurement are garbage!!
Patience grass hopper!!

Good morning!

Everyone has settled in to their new grow arrangements. I used my dodgy Luxinator to work out which spot was the lux worst and popped Ester in it. She doesn’t need it as much for now. As you can see, she’s already on the reach.

Dem 6am grow feelzzzz

Hey you guys remember Greg? He’s the guy who was diagnosed with lung ca. Great guy. 50 something. Look tbh he was a welfare sucking loser, but I had a real soft spot for him. I named the Lolling Buddha after him. Took me a whole month of popping into the bowlsie before I caught up with him and gave him an ounce but I digress lol. He died last Wednesday.

So raise your pipes and bongs to Greg!
