And so it begins...
I've been neglecting the journal due to being very busy in real life and in the garden. In the process of building this light and completely changing the setup of the garden.
Last round was hit and miss...I hit the 1g/w mark which is awesome for me. An issue arose during the dry. I realized the humidity was causing the buds to take much much longer than normal to dry...this is my first summer here btw and the humidity is a bitch. Anyway by the time I got the dehumidifier I had already sacrificed some of the quality of the blue dream. It isn't bad, it's just not as good as it could've been. A little disappointing but I'm well over that and almost finished with the next round already. I probably won't update on the current round after this however the tangerine dream is an amazing plant. Humongous, citrusy, super dense colas.
I'm still figuring things out but next round might be half tangerine dream and half glue. I'll be growing 9 plants in a 7'x3.5' area. 5 glue and the other 4 are the undecided ones. I have 400 watts of mixed LEDs which are three area 51 rw-75s and about 175 watts of vero 29. The light I'm building will be (
CXB3070 4000k using the HLG-185h-c1400b for around 50w each or 400w total. I went with the individual cpu coolers because of less weight and cost compared to heatsink bars. I went with 4000k because 3500k wasn't available and I wanted to be able to properly veg with it as well so I stayed away from 3000k. I'll probably start a new journal for the new area around the time its ready.
