Man, you were right...I can't wait until the next plants all get watered with the blumat drippers:) You were right about the drip rate too, the Liberty Haze in the back is basically at a constant slow drip. She is in a bigger pot, probably 10 inches and the other two are in the 6 inch pots-they don't drip constantly though, but pretty often.....but no excess water out of the bottom of any pots:) Seems like the plants get exactly what they want:)

Got any pics of your reservoir and how it is mounted? Outside your tent? Or did you buy a tap connection.... :peace:

I just used a simple 1L bottle for the res without the connection. Then the tubing comes in the tent at the bottom with the 6in fresh air ducting. This is for one plant using about 300mL per day so far. The other two I'm feeding in a similar manner, but with a 2L soda bottle. They're elevated about 24 inches above the level of the blumat drippers.

Hi everyone,

I had to raise the lights again today(plants were looking a little stressed with praying leaves-I didn't raise the 2700K 3590 on the right tho yet), so I thought I'd put up a quick cam shot since it's been about half a week since a pic:

Woke up to someone pounding on the door........I'm a proud owner of an IndaGro Pro 200 Par :) :) :) :) Now I'm not sure as to whether I should put it in the tent now, or wait until the girls finish under the cobs.....any suggestions?

Nice way to wake up, sweet! I'd throw it in if I had the space and you can manage temps, between your mixed spectrum LED's and the IG that should produce some huge bud :)

Alright. We got rid of the rat's nest and took out the 5000K and 3000K 3070's and the 4000K 3590 and replaced them with the IG200:) I left the 2700K 3590 for some extra reds...I looked on the site and the pontoon for the larger light is pretty expensive, so I don't think i can afford the pontoon for the light I have right now. The IG200 takes up a lot of space in the tent, but it seems to cover the 2x3 ft^2 grow area nice and evenly. Also, temps are good:) I've been watching the IG thread, and I know this thing can grow some nice buds, so I'm really excited to have added this to the tent. Since the IG takes up most of the overhead space in the tent, I had to move the 730nm bar to the side, so now it hangs vertically in a corner pointed at the plants.

I'm pretty sure I could handle all the COBs and IG in the tent temperature wise(not sure if they would all fit though), but I'm not willing to pay for 500W of electricity for 13hrs per day, so I want to keep the total wattage close to what it was.

Can anyone recommend a height above the plants?

Here's the new light in action:

for veg about 20-24 inches. I do 24 inches. For flower 14 -15 inches away with pontoons. 12 inches away without pontoons. That's with the 420. So maybe slightly closer with the 200.

I would stay on the close side of things;-) with the IG100/200........for best results, just don't let them touch the bulb

be safe

Thanks guys:) You're making me think I should put the 3000K 3070 back in there so that the IG200 is flanked by the 2700 and 3000K cobs....then I can put it about 14-15 inches above the canopy.

Hi everyone,

Wow, the tent is full. I had to bend one girl's branch down(Lemon Kush Headband)...she's just growing taller and taller. She's so tall and lanky I didn't even worry about it shading anything. I know it's not the 730nm light though, because the other girls are at normal height. I might pull her out...any opinions/thoughts?

Everyone else is doing pretty great. I'd say they're the biggest plants I ever grew in those little pots:)

Hi peoples! Here's a weekend update on the garden. Everyone is showing frost and seem to be alright. I've got some minor issues going on with the Liberty Haze and a mag def, but they're getting a lot so I think she's going to have to roll with it. It might just be her getting used to the the IG too? Idk. She was happy until recently.

I tried to get a pic showing the floor too, but it's not too good:

The cat thinks it's plenty bright in the tent:)
