Mikedin’s grow journal 2, let’s go!

[JerzeyMike]

Looking great Mike. Have you considered bamboo for your net? Its a bit of work, but you can custom fit to any size home or multiple sizes. First run with mine and i wont be going back to nylon nets.

Very nice! Yeah that’s cool as hell, it’s an option, nice looking plant, what strain is it?

 

[JerzeyMike]

Thats the epoxy og that i entered rhe scrog contest with. Im running five strains now. Purp sour d, epoxy, peanut butter skunk, and goblin god i just harvested.

 

[JerzeyMike]

Oh yea… im burnt. And super silver haze x catpiss just went into flower makes five.

 

[Mikedin]

2 options I’m looking at HPS with upgraded exhaust or new bar style LED let’s see opinions!

 

[Mikedin]

Upside I’m seeing to HPS is it’s half the price at best of an LED bar light, but heat… so I’d want a air cooled hood

 

[Mikedin]

Hmm 1,000w HPS kit with air cooled hood for $200? I’d be running it at 50% so around 500w in a 4x4 but also have the option to run at 75% or 100% so… but I may like that so I have the option to go crazy if the plant can handle it, any opinions?

 

[Mikedin]

Here’s what I’m thinking of atm

Haven’t decided on the 1,000w vs the 600w yet

I’ll be buying 3 of the in line fans, one for the cool tube, one as an additional air inlet for the 4x8 and one as a exhaust for the homemade tent as it has vegetable seedlings and one vegging plant I pulled from the 4x8

 

[Mikedin]

Well it’s official folks I went with the @PhlizonGrowLight FD6500 for the 4x4

 

[Mikedin]

Couple pics of the girls

First one is cookies Kush other 3 are monstercropped clones, no garuntee on strain besides kowing there was a white widow, a Cinderella 99 and a unknown “Congo” strain these where the survivors of 12 clones only 4 survived one was moved out of the tent and is smaller

 

[Mikedin]

Time lapse Running consistently for the past 6 days since the flip to flower


Will post the 4x4 time lapse in its new dedicated topic

Here’s the link to the 4x4 topic I’ll post that video shortly!
Mikedin’s 4x4 solo plant topic

Camera had a mind of its own the last day haha

 

[Mikedin]

Got bored, checked out a new country store, found some cool feed treys for cows… at least that’s that they where

Found a couple nice little elbows with tubing fittings, some epoxy, and a drill and some bits and… homemade drain-away treys lol $6 each once made lol, I’ll pick up some 3/8 tubing eventually but for now I’ll just put a trey in front of the drain and unplug it and let it drain then dump it, I’ll be tying all 4 together to a single reservoir that I’ll put a small pump in to pump up to a 5 gallon bucket for easy runoff removal then I’ll just plug the drains buckets fit fine and I have circle riser treys that sit under the buckets so they drain easy

And a few other accessories lol

 

[Mikedin]

Not too bad looking! Plugged the drains securely so I can water and drain individually for now will probably put them on something about 2” taller though so it’s easier to put something under the drain

 

[Mikedin]

Litttle drain pan swap out time lapse for you all lol

 

[Mikedin]

Drain pans worked out perfect

They all got a full feeding of flower fuel as well as 1/2 dose of cal mag also lowered the lights down a little closer

Damn man lookin stellar!! Beautiful jungle

Damn man lookin stellar!! Beautiful jungle

Thank you very much lol, was just in there doing some defol on the bottom halves found a bit of PM tucked in there, that’s why I always now vow to have no lower foliage lol and try to keep some spacing if possible between cola sites, amputated anything that was infected, I have been keeping up on a weekly spray down with 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 3 parts water I’ll continue that through flower to continually combat any more PM

Day conditions 79-80f /. 30-35%RH
night conditions 68- 70f. /. 35-38%RH

It’s a 20x10 lung room with the furnace and a 4500sq ft dehu in the corner running at 35%RH

 

[Mikedin]

Rearranged a bit puts the edges out of the direct light but I’m ok with that if it gives them enough spacing, brought the light out to the center of the tent and staggered the plants a bit to really make sure they don’t touch each other, might open the plants up a bit more too we’ll see


Gotta turn the camera a bit more to the right but there’s a fan right there lol

Love all that room. Is it a 4x8 or even larger? Makes me want to bust out s tent I have in the garage to just make sure I shouldn't but both my tents inside that inside my office for double double dual trouble inside the bubble

Yes that’s a 4x8 lol, my 4x4 has it’s own journal now, and it just got a new light installed today lol I’m running it at 18” at 30% power and it’s getting 820PPFD to the canopy evenly. They are only LM281b’s but it’s kicking ass in that 4x4 lol only one pic as a teaser for the 4x4 journal lol, got a little sketchy during the fan installation but it worked out lol was a terrifying light swap over a scrogged plant lol even with a 2nd set of hands it was difficult that light is around 40-43 lbs I believe lol plus it folds in the middle lol
