"Pheatured Pharmer" of the Week:

Lominola Rehula

I asked Lominola recently to share with us how she successfully uses the HUD that controls CannabiSL feeding etc.  Personally, I have always felt it was hard to do but she loves using hers and shared with us how to go about making it a regular part of our grow. 

(Note: New Updated HUD will have Liquid Plant Food on HUD)

Thanks Lomi!!! 

 

Using the CannabiSL HUD by Lominola Relula

The CannabiSL HUD doesn't seem to be used by many breeders, but when you plant many seeds/bricks at the same time, it can come in very handy. If you set plants and HUD up correctly, you can feed many plants with one click or hide their banners if you want to.
The trick is to set up HUD and seed/brick/plant correctly, which at first is some work. After that, you can handle the feeding more easily though.
when you get your HUD - a copy of it is in every standard seed pack - the CannabiSL logo appears on the top in the middle of the screen and a menu pops up. First of all, set a password, which you will use for your plants and seeds too.
1- Click the button "Password"
2- A window appears. Type your password in as follows:
    "PASS: " and the password. Important thing is, that the word "PASS: " is in capitals, that you have the double point right after it and that you leave one space after that. Then you specify your password.
Example: PASS: Anne
It  doesn't need to be complicated, it acts just as a communication channel between a "transmitter" (the HUD) and a "radio" (the plants)
3.- Click "Send".
Your HUD is ready now.
After that, you need to repeat the following for each seed/brick/plant:
1.- Left-click the seed, brick or plant
2.- Choose "Advanced" from the menu.
3.- Choose "HUD on".
4.- As with the HUD, a new window appears. Enter the password in exactly the same way you did for the HUD. Example: PASS: Anne
It is important to follow this scheme, otherwise you change the plant's name instead of setting its password.
5.- Click "Send".
The password is now set for the plant, but there is no connection between plant and HUD yet. To establish it, do the following:
6.- Click the same seed, brick or plant again.
7.- Choose again "Advanced"
8.- Click on "HUD on" again.
Repeat all these steps for every plant.
When you're done, you can easily test if all seeds, bricks and plants you wanted to connect to the HUD are properly set up:
1- Touch the HUD
2.- Choose "Banner" from the HUDs menu
If all your plants are set up properly, their banners disappear.So you can easily see if all of them are connected to the HUD. Those that still have the banner on after the test aren't set up properly yet.
1.- Left-click the plant that didn't react.
2.- Choose "Advanced".
3.- If the button on top right says "HUD on", click it. Either you will need to enter the password if you forgot it or the plant connects to the HUD if you set the password before.
3.- If the button says "HUD off" then you set a different password, maybe mistyped it. Click "HUD off" then and repeat the process to set the password. with this plant.
When you know all seeds, bricks and plants are set properly, then germinate seeds and bricks and resume live plants. Then do the following.
1.- Touch the HUD.
2.- Choose "Feed"
3.- Watch the banners change to "plant fed" and enjoy!
The HUD will work within a distance of 30 meters.
You can take off the HUD and when you put it on, you can use it again. If it gets stuck for any reason, just set its password again.
If you have more than one plot or so set up that were planted at different times, you can use several HUDs with different passwords. I myself have two places that are closer than 30 meters and work with two HUDs that have different passwords. I keep them in separate folders that have the name of the password I use for that specific HUD.
Let's grow!
