    Which Seed Banks will do Shipping to South East Asia?

    I've had some issues getting seeds to South East Asia - e.g. Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. I used to have no issues, but now a lot of sellers won't ship here :( If anyone know of any specific seed banks that will do stealth shipments to these countries, feel free to enlighten me.

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    Well since Arrow Asia will only sell 100 pieces at the time, I will go with Kingbrite, UNLESS they give me a sample size - Arrow Asia mentioned they could sell me 3 pieces as a sample, but I have yet to confirm this. Kingbrite will sell me these at 36.5$/piece for 1- pieces or below. At 100...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    You're right I think, though I haven't got a quote from Kingbrite yet on the AD30G At Arrow it's CXB3070-0000-000N0HAD30G @ $27/pcs SPQ/MOQ 100pcs, which is too many. However, Kingbrite will do even only 2 COBs, which would enable me to only buy what I need, in stead of 100 COBs... I'm not...

    Another one of those -> are we there yet?

    I'm using the sun and it's only one plant flowering - unfortunately it's more than 40 degree Celsius on most days, for at least the 3 hours around noon (maxed out at 43 degree Celsius yesterday). I'm waiting another week and then I'll see if I can't get a magnifying glass somewhere...

    Another one of those -> are we there yet?

    So, I agree that it doesn't look like it's ready, BUT keep in mind that this is a plant that has recovered from heavy damage (50% estimated root loss from last transplant + 60%+ foliage lost to pesticide and more recently from heat) and it hardly has any leaves left - I added a picture of the...

    I will add some more detailed pictures if I can tomorrow when the lights back...

    Another one of those -> are we there yet?

    It's not exactly my first grow, but I have a bad tendency to harvest them early and my endoscope broke and I haven't got a magnifying glass and so here goes - is this lady done yet? It's an OGK mother plant that lost half its root to untreated coco coir and also suffered from heavy...

    Moving outside after an extended indoor veg time:

    OK, so looks like mine were actually flowering due to a power cut that confused them and showing pre flowers since they're fairly old plants. I let one flower and re-vegged two and am successfully using a 20watt Flood LED from keeping them from flowering, without problems now.

    Moving outside after an extended indoor veg time:

    I have some similar issues, as I'm growing in tropical conditions where the longest day of the year is 12:30h+ and the shortest 11:20h or so. I start my plants inside, but would much prefer to go 100% outside, as the sun is great and strong and the weather hot (probably too hot, with dry season...

    Outdoor light to prevent them from flowering early in tropical climate?

    Well apart from the actual sun rise and set actually hitting the plants, since they're outside, the LED is Warm White and so full spectrum and there should be some Red and Yellow light there as well.

    Outdoor light to prevent them from flowering early in tropical climate?

    That works unless I'm making big plants, which would be the plan here. Anyhow, I found a few growers using flood led lights successfully for growing, though mostly vegetatively. The point here though, is that the lamp is merely there to prevent them from flowering, not really to make them...

    Outdoor light to prevent them from flowering early in tropical climate?

    Thanx for the info - 2100 and 1500 lumens per square feet isn't much. I get in excess of 8000 PAR lumens from my LED at 2 meters distance for example (I keep them 50-150cm over the plants when inside)... This should be easy enough for a 20-30watt spot to achieve, I just don't know the proper...

    Outdoor light to prevent them from flowering early in tropical climate?

    I'm planning to set up an out-door grow on my balcony and around here it's 12h/12h give or take an hour, year long. To get bigger plants, I want to put an out door spot light on them, with a timer, to add 4-6 hours of light per day, with the sole purpose of keeping them from flowering. I heard...
