Hey all, I've been blessed with a New G3000 from @SpiderFarmerLED to try out in my 3'x3'Spider Farmer tent. I've never received a parcel so well packed. This was a solid block with every possible void filled with shaped foam. I took everything out and I glanced at the instruction booklet but its pretty obvious how it goes together. From disassembled and in pieces on my work bench to fully assembled in under 5 minutes. It all just clicks together and it makes for easily changeable light strips if one fails or is damaged somehow.
The wire support cable has been shortened to be able to maximize the height of the light in the tent and clips on quickly. I use zip ties to hold the support hangers onto the to bar then wired it up to turn on.....nothing, Ah a switch.....nothing.....ah the dimmer goes 0% - 100% now and also clicks and shuts off the power to the light. This allows for a better fine tuning of the light. I found the dimmers on the SE series limited and only went from 40% - 100%
I'm trying Auto Pots for the first time, I've seen demonstration that were impressive to me so I thought I'd give them a try. I also added my own version of an air dome with 4" net pots cut to the collar and an air stone in each, Covered in Clay balls that I soaked in 6.00ph water to start with them close to neutral. I of course ran out of my soaked and stabilized clay balls so I have more soaking and I'll transplant my last girl into the new pots when they're ready to use.
I had an awkward transplanting session today with all 3 root masses crumbled apart in my hands so it was a rough start in the pots. I'm not used to such a lose consistency to the soil. with a 40- -50% mixture of perlite and Promix it falls apart easily making transplanting more difficult.
I have 4 ladies at 1 month old destined for or already in the tent. I've a QC Blue & a Quebec Blast with a Sour Diesel & a Do Si Do. I've topped all of them once, I'll see how they do before I top again.I want cuts from them all before I flip them to 12/12 so I'll probably veg these 3 more weeks at least...it'll be 2 weeks before I can start the auto pots up..
