Here's where i got it from :
http://www.growlightsled.co.uk/120w-led-grow-light-c-143.html?osCsid=c28ldprtr1und62kkfc54msk53
They told me they gave me the newer version that also has some 5W bulbs in with the 3W bulbs, but, weirdly, they haven't updated their web description in months even though the site has been revamped so it's still being advertised as three watt LEDs ..
Haha! OK some pics specially for you! I was snipping off a bud to oven-dry and test smoke and i broke a stem
Haven't done that since grow number 2 and this is my 8th grow so not bad!
When it happened in grow 2 i was advised to put a dab of honey on the break, splint it up and tape around it, so i did the same this time, apparently the sugar in honey is in a form that plants can readily convert and use, don't know if it's true but it seems to work.
Now and then i see confusion about what are trichomes and what are pistils.
Trichomes are the tiny dots that look like someone coated your plant with sugar around the buds and leaves.
NLBB doesn't get much sugar on the leaves but the buds are nice and sticky.
In this picture you can see the tiny trichomes are mostly milky and some are turning amber, clearly in the lower-half of the picture :
This indicates the plant is ready for harvesting, or could go a bit longer until more trichs turn amber.
Nearly half of the long pistils have turned amber, too, and the buds have fattened up more.
But there are still plenty of white pistils, which indicates still more growth potential.
The oven-dried smoke is g o o d, i think this is going to be more potent than i'm used to
She is for the chop this weekend maybe, i meant to give her pure water yesterday but had a smoke then went on autopilot and did a normal feed!
Trouble is she won't want water again for a few days so i'm turning down the extraction in order to raise cab temperature so she will be forced to drink more, would like to give her two pure water feeds before chopping but don't want to harvest too late !
Thanks a lot for stopping by, steely
I got it in the UK, we pay far too much for electronic goods compared to the US, here's manufacturer :
