Yo, I am done with my previous grow, half of stash is empty already daaaaaaaamn I smoke too much. Time for another round. Ok, so I've upgraded my room a little bit, heh from last time. Since temperature is a big issue here thrue summer, I've decided to buy a LED. After big endles research I got a 140W UFO LED. It's actually pretty slick & ladies are loving it. some specs: second light I have a 400W HPS with a A-wing reflector. we're running this operation with Aeroflo system from GHE. <3 nuts GHE Flora series & GHE Additives ( mineral magic, biobloom, diamond nectar ) room is 2.5x3x1.5m, around 11m3 13x Jack Herer 3x Critical Ok, so I have a system for 28 plants, last time I went with 20, now I'm going with #16 & some scroging. Ladies are getting a 1.5EC & pH 6.3 (will pH- prob more to 5.9pH), they're growing thru second week of veg. with 24h of light cycle. Gave them one night today for 5h & will prob go with 24h till the end of veg. That will be uuuuf, maximum up to friday, so max 14days. I don't mind going 14 days, since I will do scrog on them. Height isn't a problem. Anyway, I am really looking forward to see how the light difference will affect plants & so on. Ok so yea, that's it. I got no pictures yet haaa, but stay tuned for this HPS & LED gonna be heaven grow. Peace
Time has come for some updates. Ok guys, so I added a 150W CFL light right into middle. I had it around me, so why not. Final setup: Aeroflo w 400W HPS, 150W CFL & 140W LED. Some pics Got really stoned, while taking them, make a note of it. So yea, today's last day of 2nd week of veg. Will prob. go either full week or half more. Not sceared of height, cause we will be scroging guys. Ooo man, looking forward to so much. As u can see, I placed the construction for the scrog net. I topped the res. today also & added nuts. Found out, that pH is getting high, around pH 6.5. I added fresh water, nutrients & mineral magic for stab. & some pH -down. now pH 5.6 EC 1.66 also fimed & topped 4 girls, did some bending and other maint. Will keep u posted..
added humidifier, I was at around 25% of humidity, pretty dry env., for bloom great, but for veg? Nope. after adding, I'm at 45% humidity with +- 27C temperature in room. Also found some Boron deficiency, due to high pH. I see, that boron isn't available at pH 6.2 +
3rd week of veg. just started w flush & fresh res. change. running 13Gal res. sadly using tap water. my default pH is around pH7.5+ & 0.8EC, jaaach. God bless for: GH Flora Micro hardwater, combined with FloraGro&Bloom will smootlhy adjust the pH of solution to acceptable # I am trying to use as less -pH as possible. Instead I use GH Mineral Magic, also great additive to adjusting the pH. Seriously if you mix it right. Solution is extremely stable as GH is in TOP 5 nuts. anyway my feeding schedule(ml): remember it's per galon >> my res: 13 Gal w gonna be 12:6:3 NPK I am starting with half of nuts., after res. change 6x3x1.5ml NPK 3gs of Mineral Magic Diamond Nectar ..................smoking fatty, later........................
Seemorebudscauseitsflowertime a.k.a., I sux with updates, really having no time. But anyway, I vegged for 14 days, ladies are into flower for 4days now, since it's getting hot outside I run lights thru night, 8:30AM off 8:30PM on. 6:6:10 NPK 1.9EC [950PPM] 5.8pH humidity up to 50% more like 40% day temp 26-31C night 20-27C I am really looking forward to see the results from HPS400W vs. LED140W So far I love my super UFO, can't wait to get another one. Both lights are placed in the same heigh cca 25cm. above the cannape & we're getting ready for scrog net, Ladies are fimmed & topped few days ago. Today I lolipoped a bunch, will finish tmrw & I trimmed leaves blocking the light. some Diamond nectar & Mineral magic is going on also for adts. & for late week 2 we need 2 get some GH BioBloom, shit is excellent.
