Live Stoner Chat Hello all

[24nalfJ]

So, first a small introduction.
I'm from western Europe, uni student who moved onto the continent a while back. Alongside battling the mental weather and more college exams than I can count, I set up a little hobby space for myself.
So, the specs:
60x60cm tent, mammoth lite or some such. Cheap and cheerful.
4" can fan, big filter and a wac1 speed controller.
18 e27 light sockets, 16 in use at any one time for 160w of SIL LED loveliness with an even split of 3200 and 4500k bulbs.
25cm rotating fan tied up above the light rig to provide a bit of turbulence.
So anyway, finished off my first grow not too long ago now. Packed the tent with 3x3g grow bags and got my mephisto babies in there. 2xSC and an SL. About a week in I decided to throw a sweet n sour freebee they sent through into ~1L of soil in a washed out coke bottle.
After a surprisingly quick turnaround I pulled ~60g from the 2 SC, 45 dry from the SL and a truly epic 15g of the SnS. Not a fantastic first run, but all in all I was rather pleased with myself. There's certainly something special about smoking your own, and these mephisto genetics are incredible, can't recommend them highly enough!
Now, for some photos.
I didn't take any of the SC when they were finished up, my apologies, but there's a tent shot a week or so prechop to give you a vague idea of what was going on.
I'll post some more with the current run, I've got another SC and a pretty big SnS on the go, along with something mysterious in 1l of soil again.
Big thanks to everyone on here for sharing your experiences and know how, you were all absolutely invaluable in this little project! View media item 19356View media item 19355View media item 19354View media item 19353

Wow those were BEAUTIES! Congratulations on a successful first grow! Nothing like smoking your own pot haha! I’m a new grower too, stoked to try some Mephisto.

Welcome to AFN!

Great to have ya aboard Nice looking lady’s you ended up with there!!

Keep it Sparky:smoking:

Thanks all, means a lot!!
Yeah mephisto seem hard to beat(he says, with absolutely no experience worth writing about) I loved the sour crack, shes so quick but the sweet n sour is just another level entirely! Definitely my fav of the first round, just had to give her another go.
Here are a few pics of the tent today, figured they were all a bit short and squat in the last round so I've tried to increase the internodal spacing this time, seems like its working. I've already had to break poor SC's neck twice!

Welcome to afn! Very nice setup you have there. The CFL are really working well.

 

[24nalfJ]

Thanks @Dudeski must admit I've been salivating over some of your grows whilst lurking around here haha.
They're actually LED units, bit cheaper(1.5e per bulb) and helps with the heat, it's pretty toasty around here this time of the year...May swap in a few CFL's come winter if I need to bump up the heat a bit!

I see that you like reflectors. I've normally use my reflectors (Autocobs) for veg only. I was going to keep a reflector on one of my current plants, but it was too much and had to take off. I did a reflector no reflector grow some while ago and found that veg stage grew a little quicker, but in the end, the plants were about the same size. This fall I'll probably do more testing with reflectors.

That's pretty interesting, keep up the experiments, may be something to it!
I actually don't, these are just bog standard household LED bulbs and I ripped the deflectors off to improve the directionality of photon flow/increase efficiency of the setup. I'm going to experiment with some bulbs incorporated into a "vertical lighting" setup to augment the blanket effect from above and I plan on keeping the deflectors on. This should reduce heat a little around the bulb, allowing the plant to grow around them whilst also dispersing the photons across a wider angle(as opposed to the 180° guaranteed by the system as of now).

Dude, congratz on your first harvest and Welcome to AFN, the home of auto's dude......your first girls looked awsome and great choice of genetics too.......your frame looks exactly like my first frame did lol.......but I wasn't anywhere near as successful.....again and enjoy AFN...:smiley1:
