Lol...in me journal asking for advice to try make me feel better about my average efforts I see. Too humble mate. Everything I see on your end has been excellent.

Should start calling you the hype beast with a strain list like that too haha. Make sure you are wearing a flat brimmed hat at an odd angle when you list the next lot of fyre.

I’m a fucken rookie compared to majority of the peeps on here including yourself. Have a handful of grows under my belt but still feel like I’m still finding my feet. Still unsure on the best growing style for my setup. Your average efforts piss on my best efforts! That’s just facts mate.

Still in the honeymoon phase of growing so just keen to try as many breeders/strains as possible. I’ll admit I do get caught up in all the hype but from what I’ve managed to grow so far and limited experience, can’t beat the old school genetics from CSI. Had to google what a flat brimmed hat is lol Only thing on fire around here is my wallet with all the growing gear I keep adding😂

Will be interesting to see what otherworldly shit you'll put out once you got a bit of time under your belt for sure.

Been watching a few umami grows on home grow tv lately (hence the off the cuff flat brim hat/fyre reference lol) so it's nice timing. Will follow on for sure.

Makes total sense now lol
Liked their older content better before they moved their op to the new location. Be nice to have all that space though.

Been extremely slack with updates so thought I was due for one. Main flower tent is in week 9, favourite smelling grow so far to date. Probably gonna take them close to 70 days.

The smaller tent in week 6, pretty happy with how things are going considering it’s my first run in this tent. Probably need to choose strains that don’t stretch as much, had to supercrop a couple of branches, one branch grew back into the light and has some light bleaching but overall pretty happy considering 4 different strains in a 70x70 tent. Have had to give them heavy defols to keep humidity down.

Cheers Goonie. I have a mars hydro fc-4800 and viparspectra xs 1500 pro in smaller tent which was meant to be for veg but gave it a flower run this run. It’s surprisingly doing a decent job. The ac infinity evos were not released yet when I bought the mars hydro led. Was absolutely shitting myself at the beginning reading all the online reviews about mars hydro quality and lights catching fire but they have been pretty decent. Looking to upgrade down the line to bigger tents and lights.

Nothing wrong with mine either, the melting connector issue definitely doesn't seem to be a thing these days, I was surprised at the beefy cables mine came with too.

When I first set my tent up i ducked out of the room to get a drink and one of the lights fell from the top of the tent smashed into the table, honestly thought some of the bars wouldn't even turn on after, weighing like 15kg. But sure enough it was all good.

I figured it was best to spend more on the 1000w and drive them way lower (think Indy or another member does the same?)
60-70% is plenty of light, less heat, better efficiency and the diodes will last way longer than say a 640-700w blasting full ball at 100%
