Thanks. i sure hope so. Next grow will be a 12 bucket DWC SCROG. That should be a sweet crop. also plan to have 2 more 1000 watters and sentinel controls. The chhc-1, the dmt-1, and a hph-4 HID controller to run all 4000 watts into the dmt-1.
Sounds very nice. Actually a bit envious of the wattage. Well maybe more than a bit. I look at the good side though. You are nice enough to share with us all. Looking forward to seeing many more successful crops there.
Wow, 4 - 1k lamps over a scrog. I can't wait. I use a C.A.P. extreme greenhouse controller and it seems to work pretty well. It supports temp, humidity, co2 and the pumps.
i checked that out. it's a pretty sweet controller. do you guys think 4k watts is too much for a 10x10x10 room? i'll update with the first bud porn in a couple days.
Holy Fuck, it did get better! And thats why I have this thread under the great grows file. Sorry it's been a while, I've been spending a lot of time on my ladies, which were just confirmed today that they are ladies. Check out my pics. Anyways, it's great to see that everything is doing great on your first grow. We have the same mentality, if your going to do it, do it right. What nutes are you using? Actually if you don't mind, what's your schedule for flowering?
1000 Watts can cover a 6x6 pretty well but at 50W Sq Ft you would need 4000 watts. Is the room 10x10 or the canopy 10x10. If the canopy is say 6x6 then 2000W is more than enough. Just take your total watts divide by 50 then take the square root of that to find length of one side of the square. Example 4000W / 50 = 80. Root of 80 is about 9 (9x9 is 81) so you are looking at a 9x9 canopy coverage or 80 sqft with 4000 watts. 6x6 = 36 sq ft 2000 / 50 = 40 Sqroot ~6.3 so 2000 W would cover 6x6 3000W would cover 8x8 4000W would cover 10x10
thanks good cat. i think it got better also. i use GH nutes with the Lucas grow system. i started flowering 11 days ago. lights on at 7am, off at 7pm. i chose this schedule because i wake up my kids at 7 so it's perfect time to make sure my lights turned on and make sure everything went smooth throu out the nite. my first grow so i'm scared something's going to go wrong. i think i'm like an over-protective parent to the ladies. it will be worth it though.
here's an update. i just ordered a dehumidifier. i got a 5000 btu A/C and installed it. i got another blower fan so i'm exausting heat from my lights now without exausting my room. temps. range from 76-85, humidity is 50-60% (D/H needs to hurry!) co2 ppm is around 1800. i'll update tomorrow with some bud porn.
some pic. updates. today is day 16 of flowering. sorry if the pics. suck. i had a hard time etting good ones. my camera is old. the 2 big ones in BB's are taller than me! Insane!
Looks great. I haven't read the whole thread yet but will. Quick question though. What strains are those in the 6th and 7th photos?
i think they are silver haze or trainwreck. not sure. i was really baked when i got the clones and forgot to keep track of the strains. Those 2 look like sativa to me. one of the indicas is juicy fruit and the others are urkle and the other is unknown.
Great thanks. 7-8 look like something I would like to scrog. Oh and one is juicy fruit? Really wanting to try that one. Have to watch that one close for sure.
It's easy to see that you are not one of the people who has to pee on the electric fence to find out. Just a super job man. Kudos.
