hey everyone,
New member here, Ex overgrow member some 8+ years ago, iv taken a long break from growing (not that i grew much myself due to the past 6-7 years moving every few months due to education, work and going out on research trips)
I was very keen back on overgrow with discussions about CFLs and trying some crazy bonzai micro scrogs before they were really widely considered and accepted as a decent way to grow. Soil to tip of top cola record for finished plant was 16cm! was a blackberry x blueberry hybrid crossed with a random indian landrace known for its resin! an old OG friend sent them to me from his warehouse grow / breeding house in india. (one of the reasons why i havnt been online much as i lost too many friends when overgrow went down and no other forums seemed to have the knowledge base or decent members to keep my attention! however after looking through alot on here seems like this coudl be my new home!)
And now im basically looking to get back into it! the problem im having now is as always i want to maximize output and turnover whilst minimizing cost and space!
This is where these PL-L beauts will come in! The problem im having is where to find these in the UK, i cant seem to find any ballasts that are not incredibly overpriced aquarium lights and the 55w size seems hard to find in the right colour (lots of 3000k 4000k where as i want the 2700k and the 6400k)
If anyone has any ideas where good places to look are (i would rather avoid ebay due to the high number of fake products that seem to often get sold there unless someoen has a seller / shop on there they can recommend?)
Im planning to either remake one of my old stealth hidden compartment cupboards or chest of draw conversions to blend into my furniture! im being very picky and would rather get these PL-Ls instead of using normal wasteful CFL's even the envirolight types due to the fact the top tubes are often double the distance from the plants compared to bottom tubes....thats just poor design!
LED's Look very interesting as an addition but i think that they seem to be jumping forward in technology and down in price too rapidly for me to bother investing in them at the moment
So if anyone has any tips would be awesome and if not keep your eyes out for my first grow log on here once i find and make everything!
Strains i have ready:
Shining silver haze
Night Queen
Afghani #1
Fruit spirit
Power Flower
and i should be getting a cutting of cannatonic from a friend
Peace out my energy friendly growers! and hopefully i can keep you entertained with a grow soon!
