Ha.....hence why I have not....I was skeptical using the 600w......I first started off with the 600w......wasn't good....but I've dialed my area in quite a bit since then.....I jumped to see and it's been working.....

This'll be the first summer run with it in.....I think so far, the highest was 91⁰....or 92......

I hit 91 a couple times early on a sunny day. With the lights having their own air flow and the AC running it stays a comfy 74 in chamber and 70 in the lung. Outside highs are supposed to hit the low 90's for the first time this year with 4 solid months of more right behind.

Weekly- have to say it’s been rough week here in the garden. Last weekend’s storms had the power off for a couple days. Lost half of the clones but if I hadn’t cut P40 down I’d of lost that entire crop so I’m thankful.

Veg - chem4, apple fritter and P40. This was my first outage with rapid rooters for my clones. I ran the generator and flooded these every 12 hours, normally every 3. That method work for rock wool, not for rapid rooters. Lost 4 out of 9

I hear you, thanks : )

I’m thinking my lack of “proper lighting” might be starting to show also. Im looking at some simple red grow bulbs (even cheaper than the nice ones spider farmer and evo have) lol, its better than nothing : )

Weekly- garden has been on autopilot it seems of late. Not complaining but things slowed down when I dropped to 600’s.

Veg- about time to clone. 3 lines are ready, tootsie needs a bit longer.

Rain brought some cooler temps so it’s time to tinker in the shop!

Hydroton takes up space but I love growing with so I’ve learned to work with hydroton and not work for, simplify the process. The racks I’m using carried glass from overseas, cheaper to toss than return so these are free. I want something mobile, strong and utilizes all the space.

Base got 🛞’s. No idea where this came from, free😀

Ya can’t get those frosty nuggets without a plant, it’s been 32 days since I’ve cloned these donor plants

My technique is like every body else, I do slit my cubes to get cuttings to fit. 2 nodes below the leaves and a good dose of clonex. I flood 30 minutes every hour and a half. Cut one of each for the tray, something to watch maybe.

I love the idea of splitting the cube! Also, a syringe full of clonex!? Genius.

Definitely learned a thing or two... maybe 50.. from ya. Appreciate your documentation and walk through.

That post cut wilt can be discouraging
2 hours cut:

But give ‘em a day to get their bearings and they generally perk up by now. I run 10 days of indirect lighting, roots first then light. Maybe the tray will shorten the indirect period. That # came from running rock wool.
24 hours cut:

Rain/clouds = metal work in the shop. Not much fun out here on a sunny day in the summer sun.
All the essentials in place, flower tools and metal. This my happy place, hope you guys have found yours today!
