    Wow, seems I've turned my back on this thread
     
    Update
     
     
    On the urging of a couple fellow growers, I removed the Larf (4 ozs buds + stems, but no leafs)
     
    My thought is since I am feeding every 30 minutes, it was not taking much energy away from the top buds
     
    Earlier this week I began adding Hydroponic-Research +Size, a flowering amendment, but should have started adding it 3 weeks ago,
     
    so not sure what it will bring to the party at this late stage, ~ 10-14 days left, BUT, the buds are fattneing up more in the last 24 hours than the 2 days before, so...
     
    As you can see, the BML SPYDR is a much better flowering light than vegging, at least as it relates to sats

  2. Coming down the home stretch ~ 5-7 more days to harvest
     
    Dumped nutes (400ppm) replaced with pure water (20ppm) + ~ 4gms +Size to 2.5g water

  4. Pre-harvest pics
     
    As I do not own a trimmer (yet) will be taking her down little by little by
     
    Will post final pics, including dry weight

  6. Whew, finished trimming late yesterday
     
    Thought you might be interested to see what my F & D roots look like (no soggy spaghetti here)
     
    I took a head count on the babies
     
    3 are female, 5 still holding back, so probable females
     
    Solo looks female, but under a mag glass, looks like it's about to drop nanners :eek:

    Does the BML SPYDR 600 grow quality meds?
     
    You bet
     
    The SPYDR is ~ 340w, plus for the last couple weeks I added  2 BML 3ft flowering bars (@ 50w)
     
    121gms dry trimmed bud. First harvest was 118gms
     
    Clearly a small yielder, BUT, a very fine smoke
     
    Her evil twin is Big Mex, a big yielder that packs one hell of a punch
     
    Keep in mind this light was not manufactured specifically for growing meds
     
    BML has not yet made a mj specific SPYDR
     
    This version is great for scog
     
    Alas, it lacks separate o/o control over the ability to add more reds for flowering, once buds set, so it's better suited to flowering plants transfered from a veg tent
     
    This means all reds are on all the time, which causes too much stretch for Sat dominant strains. I wound up with ~ 2ft of useless  branches with ~ 1 oz of light airy larf/pop corn
     
    Also, the bar difusers are opaque, clear would allow for better intensity
     
    So with minor improvements this would be a terrific light, but at $999 price, there is stiff competition

    I have expanded the Mini-Me to supply 2 totes from the same rez
     
    Easy Peezy
     
    So, too,  expanding further, but that would require adding in line o/o valves to balance out the amount of liquid each tote gets
     
    Be interesting to see how well the 2 Big Mex phenos do under 2 x 150w Solar Specs.
     
    Hopefully, will have 2 more SS 150s  before long
     
    Single tote has 4 BBCC. One will soon take over, so will need to split into 2 totes, or move some to another tent

  11. Just bumping to move it up the date line
