It would be good if we made diodes, chips, and lots of other electronic parts all in the US.......we have to be willing to pay a little more for things made in the USA, or we'll keep importing them. In the meantime there are a few good US companies that make/build quality lights and headquartered in the US, with excellent customer service, warranties, and will back you up.The reviews on the new model are mixed. I’ve read growlogs with Updayday or i wouldn’t have recommended it as a cheap alternative. I don’t know any diodes manufactured in the US, just lights assembled here, like the big three.
Original Skunk #1, what does it smell like? I have smoked "Somekind" of cannabis that smelled "Just like a live skunk" spraying! that was Skunk-weed, cultivar I haven't a clue. Made my girlfriend alarmed from the back bedroom over 30 ft. Cheers SSBelieve me.......the smell of original Skunk #1 is etched in my memory. I will never forget it. And maybe 30 years ago the smell of a good closet garden was something I wanted to keep in check.......but today.....I'm long ihto adulthood, and the wife is just as much a fan of my work and good weed as anyone. We have no interest in any filtration whatsoever. My basement/boiler room is tucked nicely away, I have no close neighbors or these days the law to fear, it's a legal state, and I want to enjoy every bit of it. ;)
I remember the best description I believe came right out of Neville's seed bank catalogue, and as soon as I get back to the apartment that's the next thing I'm searching for.......Original Skunk #1, what does it smell like?

you breaking that space up into mom room flower room for perpetual?Closet and area being prepped.....
That closet is going to be fully emptied, fully dedicated to 4 rows of 3........7 gallon pots, 12 spots for 12 nicely sized females only. No shelves, nothing else. 12 - 7gal pots only. 2 HLG Scorpions (1 Diablo, 1 Rspec), and a UVB. Outside of the closet area will be divided up for seedlings/starters, and an overflow area. I'll be getting another good light but probably not quite as strong as the Scorpions.you breaking that space up into mom room flower room for perpetual?
edit: i see some nice shelves for clone domes
I'll tackle growing clones at some point, but it's really not my thing. I definitely have no interest in cloning........too much work/time, I have too much to do as it is, and I want to focus on breeding. I will buy a few clones from time to time though, sure....you breaking that space up into mom room flower room for perpetual?

Damn! Hell of a lineup there!I'm going easy on my first run in so long. Obviously I'm not going with pure sativas, landraces, and heirlooms right out of the gate. I'm going to focus on things that are on the easier side, a little old school, nothing outrageous or pricey........I want to satisfy my curiosity around what's happened to the Skunk strains after 30 years, setting a low bar if expectations, but also hunting through different profiles to see if there might be a keeper or two, or a cross or two that might look interesting or might ser the stage for the next round, a small step forward. I might cross the same variety from different companies. Like if 1 Herbie's Blueberry and 1 MSNL Blueberry look really good, see how that goes.....or 2 different "Skunk #1"s...
And, to have fun, end up with some good stuff, maybe play with pushing things to the farther end of ripe and see how that plays out. I might also keep a few aside in veg, prune them down a lot, and put them outside in the Spring.....
Here's what I planted, all paper towel method, I feel confident enough and planted extra seeds, so I can get rid of ones that are slower, don't measure up......I can be a little picky.......I want to end up with 12 prime females, maybe another 4-6 overflow females that won't end up with prime space but I can still finish them nicely enough, and a couple of big strong males for crosses, as well as a couple of experimental, freebie Autos......
I'll make some comments on the various seeds companies I've ordered from too. There are about 10 that didn't plant any of this round, I just put them in the fridge in tight containers with those moisture absorb paks. I'm not running any of the DJ Short seeds or Panama Red, Irvine, Neptune......no Jack Herer yet or Divine Banana......no Blue Dream or Monkey Massacre yet.....all in good time. ;)
I also chose a few where the seeds look a little weak, light, immature.....get a few of these strains out of the way and make a note not to order from some of these companies again.

When they pop I'll put them into 12 - 16oz. peat cups, probably about 45 of them, to ultimately get down to my goal of about 16 strong, worthy females, a few big males, a few Autos, with about 20 males going bye-bye.

Yep, 12x6.........vented. I'm psyched about the cool temps but I don't know how I feel about CO2. I'm.....Di-curious.....hahahaha!!!
Damn haha, also I’m loving the room, I saw you named off the lights, I didn’t see if you had room dimensions in there, looks like about 12x6 ish lol, that’s a hell of a room, I can’t wait till I can dedicate the e sore basement room to a full grow room lol,
Is this going to be a sealed room with Co2 or a vented room?
Yeah… I’d err on the side of caution with that one also haha, so much you can do in there though, I think you said 4 rows of 3 for the main room that’s gunna be a nice setup, it’ll look like a forest in there real quickYep, 12x6.........vented. I'm psyched about the cool temps but I don't know how I feel about CO2. I'm.....Di-curious.....hahahaha!!!
I wonder sometimes if I could use some of the new propane boiler exhaust, but then I picture myself dead........I'll bet there's a way, but I'm not doing it.
I'm erring on the side of not doing it at allYeah… I’d err on the side of caution with that one also haha, so much you can do in there though, I think you said 4 rows of 3 for the main room that’s gunna be a nice setup, it’ll look like a forest in there real quick
my holy grails from sensi catalog NL5xHaze in 91 thanthe second grail in 99 was Hindu Kush strongest smoke on record until recentlyMy girlfriend....?
My girlfriend, who I met in '86, (we moved in together as teenagers)....is laying right next to me. ;). Can you view pictures I've already posted? I posted a few of them, and a few tester plants I grew outside this past summer, mostly to test the area and make seeds. Global warming sucks, but I happened to luck out that we had a very long, warm fall. To harvest in late Oct - Nov 1st is almost unheard of up here. I also posted a few pics of some of my old High Times. The Holy Grail for me will be if I can find my old Neville's Seed Bank catalogue. Either '87 or '88.
Here's the pics of the Skunk #1 and Northern Lights......I think #5, that I grew, in a 4' x 3' closest, 400w Halide, 1988. I made seeds, crossed the two, crossed them with some Mexican or Southern Sativas......then when I stopped growing around '94, I figured "I'll get more seeds again at some point...". I will die and on my tombstone it will say "Here lies an idiot who didn't save his Skunk #1...". ;).
I also didn't expect to have to wait this long. That was a spare bedroom, our hang out/party room. I had black light posters, the stereo.......at some point in the late 90s we rented out that room to this baby who never left. I don't think he would have appreciated me using his closet to keep growing. ;)
