Fabulous Tika, did I ask you which kind of T5 Bulbs you use? I have been looking at T5 bulbs from the aquarium market. There are two German brands that price out around $25 per tube. They come in different spectrums they have deep blue aqua blue floral blue daylight and for red bulbs bulbs That can be mixed and matched. Have you looked into this?

Paracelsus I use VitaLUME bulbs. 6500K. Never have tried mixing it up....I get them at my hydrostore ( who also does mail order) .

 

[Paracelsus]

Thank you Tika! 🌝

@ Paracelsus I get mine at HTG supply .com also there 1000lightbulbs.com I haven't bought anything from 1000 in awhile HTG sells 65 k bulbs 4 for 20$ cheapest Ive found

Thanks OJH, well I’m really hoping to find is someone who used the commercial bulbs and then tried the high-end German brands so I can find out if it’s worth the difference in money. Aquariums are a high-end luxury item but the Science and engineering in the industry is also high-end. A fish tank might have $10,000 Dollars or more invested in it. So I am curious to find someone with experience with those two brands from Germany.

Nice pic Tika ,or should I call you anonymous.

 

[Tika]

PRIMO I'm good with anonymous😉 I was delighted to see it...It was also a piece of work-shed blood in that trim. Left finger cutsuper glued.n
Was also delighted to see the spread on trichomes NebulaHaze did.. I have been wondering if they need to be cured or not- have a dry ice shake coming this Wednesday and was wondering if I could throw in the current trims. The newsletter is always timely for me...Almost spooky in Reading my mind.
Hope all is well with you and yours.

Yes it looks very deliberate, every stem has a place and is in it.

 

[Tika]

Thanks folks 🤗🤗🤗

What Campozino said above,so very artistic.
I have taken a new yoga class called yang yoga
it’s very long relaxed floor asanas, the gravity is almost neutralized and very different from Hatha.
I like it, I like you🐞

[Paracelsus]

Why are you going to give the seventh plant a Wedgie😃? Lol You sure have Saviour Faire

 

[Tika]

Busy day of transitioning:. Moved & fed the "downstairs " veg area plants (5) to outside (1 of them went upstais to the flower tent). Broke down the downstairs space so that I can wheel the new wagonettes inside at night. Moved the upstairs veg area plants (6) into the flower tent for FLIP TONIGHT! Cleaned that veg area. And still jockeying about with the cure process...In and out - finding the zone. Aurora indica the highest yield by volume- haven't weighed. White rhino 2nd. And screw the Borderline...Just hope she's a good smoke. Canopy good for the moment in tent-24" tall from bottom of pot.outside wagonette 25" tall for some reason. Lights set at 18" above canopy. Have many smart pots to breakdown-pain in the ass task. Perlite in the yard rubs my OCD the wrong way. THEN there is the Germinating of the next round.
I'll await for the itch...Not eager to be mixing 2 different batches of feed yet.
Contemplating making dry ice hash tomorrow (1 hour found trip for dry ice) . After last Sunday's newsletter freeing information that trichomes don't need to cure! I have a heap..Probably need10 lbs of dry ice- to shake out. ( actually hate it) BUT I yearn for the meditative moments of knowing the flip is on, all are fed, the cure of past harvest in place , all have been burped and I can sit quietly and make pucks. Anyone knowing philosopher Gurdjieff it's the 7-8...A complete effort.
I really like the purpose for all parts of the cannabis plant. I don't make tea from stems but will use the stems for Artie stuff. I save everything🤪 currently making butter.
Rain coming....Can't complain as we are still in sever drought conditions.

Just really ran at the mouth but have no one else to share it with other than you wonderful folk. 😘🤗🐶
thanks for hanging in.
