[Mañ'O'Green]

cool competition in this community lol
shame i joined to late to get involved lol would have been starting my first grow as this started lol

so i guess this is mainly for autos and not photos lol

@falstaffo Please join in with pictures of your current grow. The next qualifying leg for Light Grower of the year will begin on May 1, germination is allowed to start 14 days prior when @Ripper posts the official start code. for the battles. You can grow photoperiod plants. you will have about 15 weeks to finish and many photos will complete in that time. Then even if your plant is not ready for harvest you will submit your final photo for the poll by the last day.

When would be last possible date for dropping bean into the water?

Better yet, maybe someone can help me with this .....

OldBoy slow at times and stupid silly too .....

Issue Is .... have a move planned around that date and it’s rather difficult transporting plants let alone setup new environment .....

What would be the last possible date to post pics, May 1st?????? If so, what is Pic / Germ Requirement?

Thanks for answer in advance!

You must start germination on or before May 1, for the next leg. In your germination photo you need to include a 3x5 card with: Germination Code, Date, Your AFN name and "Autoflower.Net" and "Light Battle"

@Mañ'O'Green ... Thanks for the info!

Since we have extra time before the next updates help me out with some easy data. What brand of lights are you using include the model numbers if you know them.
DIY = self built ( but you can add info like Citizen or Cree COBS etc)
Mars Hydro
Roleadro
CobShop
Black Sail
ETC..........

Throw in some pictures of your plants we all love pictures. Thanks

May first is the last date for starting. But if its just in a cup of water is considered a start.

That I can do, maybe coffee, my secret weapon!

Testing out a Vividgro gromax 240 4000k. Impressed so far I screwed up at first so it slowed things but once I got it dialed in it’s doing great. Non battle plants also in there. Rockin rain science bags ultimately I’ll give my opinion on those when I harvest and pull out and inspect root ball. How well do they prune. As for the light it will remain at the top of the tent and that’s that lol 60”+ from the top of the coco. They run cool not a lot of heat coming off them. They r Samsung lm301b diodes. This fixture can run up to 300 watts but I only have to 240 supply. No need for more unless your running photos. Running 24/0 for now but plan on cutting back to 20/4 as I keep turning on more lights in another closet as I make room in the vividgro tent for battle plant. Can’t afford to run all my lights 24/0 well I could but I’m cheap and haven’t seen a difference in 20/4 -24/0 other then steady temps
And humidity for seedlings in winter.
Edit: light is just under 2’x4’ I think 22”x45” so it covers my 2.5’x5.5’ tent very well.

I'm hanging out in Blurpsville with Messrs Haehne (1200w) & Bestva (1000w) - draw from wall guestimate 420w

Haha! RivetGrrl we don’t have to be ready for harvest by May 1, we just need a couple monsters hot and heavy in flower for the photos <wink wink> Can you imagine how crowded our tents will be come 4/20 when we’re germing for May 1?

Not harvest just pregerm My ladies will probably not be "right there" anyway, but close.
And as for crowded, you should see what I'm doing here. Try and scale back it doesn't work me lol every inch is wasted space if it isn't crammed full!!

Why germ early? We'll have 13 weeks dropping beans on May 1st

Some folks had issues and had to start new plants, so it gave them time to do so. I barely squeaked by myself and would have loved extra time for the plants to get their pizazz on I think it was other battles that there were germination issues.
