Decided to start a new single thread for my grows. I have made some recent changes and upgrades. I doubled my flowering space, and lighting. I added an entirely new veg setup for clones up to mid veg. I setup a secondary space to be able to do side by side comparisons. More photos and information to come, stay tuned and as always I welcome comments and insight.
currently running 9 qb132 lm301h And 4 qb288 lm301h all top bun Samsung leds and 4 strips consisting of a variation of red:deep red at 3:1 ratio. I can run with just those up to 1255w from the wall. If Include the other middle light I can push just under 1500w. I plan on ramping up to around 950w when things really start to flower. Running these boards at 3/4 or less makes them super efficient and low heat. I have duel vortex fans on the ground centered between each set of 4 blowing floor level air up and two rotating fans for the canopy. Further I installed a 6” AC infinity fan and controller with 6”
Ducting. ( AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T6, Quiet... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074XBXFPD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share )
this fan is amazing as is the controller and I highly recommend it. I will be upgrading to this in all my tents as I move forward. Aside from that I am running my own mix of organic soil. I spent a bit of time preparing and aging this batch. One thing I did was I attempted to get a good population of predators in the soil and loaded it with microbes so they could get to work. This far I really like what im seeing ( BioLogic Scanmask Steinernema... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BWRNE3A?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share )
It seems that fungas gnats are really always there in some form when doing loving soil and working with composted materials. Time will tell
But I feel good about this move as I used predictors from several sources and at the very least should keep the living soil in check.
I have changed over to a new type of grow bag as well. I have been using these for a little while and I’m very happy. They are made from plastic, they are flexible and don’t break down in the light. Easily cleanable and you don’t get any type
Of growth on it. They are made in the USA. They have tons of sizes and even Velcro so you can transplant easily. Radicle Bags . Check them out! I’ll update later but haven’t had time recently and wanted to get back to sharing what im up
To
Currently I am not running the middle set of boards and have yet to decide if I will.
running 8 strains total with 4 in scrOG and 4 just free floating at the moment .
Short walk around. Was only a couple days after cleaning them up and dropping them in the ScrOG was that day I believe so they are much happier now.
