Evening everyone,
It would be awesome to get some input. This is my first post and already have learned a lot of great things from the Farmer Crowd over the years.
I'm currently running 2 uce xl-12,8gal. (prepping for 2 more systems, currently have Pro-mix, H&G Bio-1 in 3gal Super Roots brand Airpots in those allotted spaces now). Still have a few things that need to get buttoned up, insulation on chiller pipes and a few other odds and ends.
(My first UC attempt was in a 12 site as well, yeilding a dismal 15 oz under 4-1k's, not using CS or much knowledge about UC, fried the roots)
5.8-5.9 sticking pretty well while one system is drifting more to 6.3-6.4 and dosing a lot more ph, funny thing is they weren't looking so strong at first but I'm starting week 3 and they look to be doing better actually. Not as much flower formation as I am accustomed to with Pro-Mix and H&G Bio-1, lb per lamp.
63-67f water temp roots look good
This might be my problem, EC is at 1.4, according to CCH2O General Recommendations Graph it says an EC of 1.5 On their Feeding Schedule they recommend 1.0. Do I need to adjust my dosing schedule?
My issue is I have been running 600w near flawlessly, consistent yield an elbow per 600. That has not been happening so far since I have bumped up to 1k's. Any advice their would be greatly appreciated. That was with Promix.
Winter is here right now so the RH is down. Haven't needed a dehue or really need to run the splits for dehue purposes, have only been running one mini split for both rooms for RH control. I run two 6" Max-Can with 2 Inline 66 running from one room to the other as an air exchange to control RH and that sweet smell.(the rooms are side by side like a bowling alley on a flip pics are of only the room with the lights on at the moment).
The Ladies are sitting in a pretty nice environment,
10 degree day night differential typically.
45 lowest-70 RH max, it spikes when the lights kick off
550-650 ambient CO2, haven't installed the burner yet
VDP 1.45 with lights on .45 with them off. Haven't been monitoring that graph often.
The Equipment
2 Flower Rooms Side by Side with identical equipment on a flip:
8-1k hps Ushio lamps
8 Daystar Reflector Air cooled only 6" duct slammed to the ceiling (was using 8 600 gavitas in the past with great results but I had to go with 1k's Dolt!)
4 ton air handler (outdoor equipment is 5 ton chiller 55g res with Propeylene Glycol mix @ 50% running both 4 ton handlers and cool coils for respected rooms)
2.5 ton Mitsubishi MrSlim (was the original equipment sized for the 8 600w Gavitas)
2 cool coils for 2 epicenters with electronic controlled temp valves set at 65
1 HydroGen (Natural gas CO2 water-cooled Gen) Not currently installed, never ran CO2 before either, I need to pull Natural Gas Line that will be done in the next few weeks
Intelliclimate Environmental Controller
6 part Intellidoser nutrient doser (shortly I will be purchasing 2 more peristaltic pumps for 8 parts)
RO Water with carbon filter plumbed to float valves with dosers
Nutrients:
Cultured Solutions:
Bud A
Bud B
UC Roots
Bud Booster
Botanicare:
CalMag+
Advanced:
PH-
I want to purchase the 2 extra peristaltic pumps for using either Humboldt Magnum or an epsom salt solution ( when hitting week 3-4 the fan leaves literally brown up and die within a day or 2, attributed that to Mg Deficiency unless Im off it. The last pump to finish with H&G Top Shooter or Shooting Powder leaning towards the liquid over the soluble.
Veg Room
Bare Root Cloner
T5 Fixtures (I have pulled 240v for possibly using one 600w Gavita over each 3x3 tray)
2 3x3 trays for veg for 8" CC netpots
2x4 tray for Rapid Rooter cuttings for Pro-Mix and or Coco in case I botch this setup :)
Cool Coil in cloner and veg trays set at 65
I hope this wasn't too long winded.
First 2 pics are day 18 in UC, last pic is week 6 day one in the Airpots with H&G Bio-1, those fan leaves start to crisp up in like week 3-4. Dilluted nutes in those black 5g buckets @ a rate of 4:1
