After reading midwestdensies grow I also switched over to peat moss. I could not get use to the watering and nute schedule after coming off from 2 years of growing in Canna coco and perlite. I've since gone to a hybrid system of Canna coco, perlite and peat moss. I can now water more often which is what I was use to.
I noticed oxanaca that you had your lights end to end which would be casting the light up against the wall and into your walking area. I believe the proper set up would be for the fixture, (bulbs) to be perpendicular to the wall. The wider foot print comes out the sides of the bulb not the ends. I could be wrong but this is the way I measured it with my meter.
so i went to the grow site tonight and spaced my plants out properly. i am only growing 60 plants here. tomarow i will be hanging reflector panels that will hang from the ceiling and will be able to be hoisted into the air out of the way for hand watering

i watered them in prior to taking the picture using full strength dankworths bloom formula
you will see i only have 2 of the lights on. i had some scary shit happen today. so a power cord from one of the gavitas was set on top of another gavitas reflector. this melted the rubber insulation on the wires and caused it to short, and arc like a motherfucker. it looked like fireworks until i unplugged the cord. im going to have to be more careful around the hot bulb / reflector from now on. im going to repair the power cord and fire it up again tomarrow.

these lights are very impressive. i think im going to have to adjust my footprint as im over 1400 umoles in the center and 950 umoles near the edges. i think i will try 4'-4" x 5'-8" footprint per light. as you suggest tony69. 3x5 footprint is just to damn bright.

i wasnt able to make the light map today as i got too stoned but i measured this in the middle.
Interesting thread with very unique information. Thanks for sharing Oxanaca. Was wondering at what distance from the lamp your readings were taken? When you took the edge readings I assume you pointed the meter toward the light? Been looking all over for someone to post this info. Thanks again.
Don't lollipop those girls to hard now, don't want to shock em.
be interesting to see this seed experiment ox,and im digging that screen setup.keep up the good work here,peace
I think master kush would do awesome in a sog setup for sure, it has the potency and weight.i actually liked running ak47 back a few years ago, all it did was grow big fat colas and get us baked out of our minds lol.i see a ton of farmers here running wifi in beds with screens and from what i see with my cross it is a heavy yielder.ill know more on these in 4 or 5 more weeks.but the mk has been in my garden for going on 5 years now i think and nobody has ever said they are tired of it :)
nice work bro !....busy times in 2014
Yeah the ak47 would seem to be watered down with so many versions over the past 10 years but if you could find some early genetics it would be worth it imo.the wifi also goes by the name white fire, there's a bunch of crosses of it here.the mk i have is from marijuanna-seeds.nl, i got a 10 pack of femme seeds back around 2009 and have been cloning her ever since.its an easy on to clone and takes to topping/training real well.she is not a picky plant with nutes or temps either. Honestly i have been in search of a better plant since the day i smoked her and have never found one yet.i bet i have run through over 100 strains since then ;)
