6 Ladies in a 20 gallon sterilite tub. I have a dig 6 outlet pressure compensator pumping nute to the root zone. The Root pics are at res change over my flushing solution which consist of 4 tablespoons Herculean Harvest and 1/2 teaspoon of jacks 5-12-26. Now you want results like mine you will have to bow down and pray to my Beloved Vero Angels

god damn, i need to get my hydro game on point!

Hi,
Great work!!! I see you're grow is done and your setup is similar to mine, and so are the results as far as I can see.
I use coco in a 2x2 space (grow tent). I had about 220w of CFL bulbs for flowering (just used fewer bulbs during veg). My only "complaint", if you will, with cfls is that the buds don't get as thick or dense as I have been used to see in buds I purchase (ie from progressional growers). Also when comparing to other pictures, ones using HiD lights I clearly see the extra stretching (the one between nodes or bud sites) in my grow vs theirs.
Personally I have opted to upgrade my lighting and just got a 150w HPS light.
I am using it now for the first time, and am currently at day 17-19 of flowering (sorry, didn't mark it on calendar or anything, just switch the timer in the light lol).
Now I run 2 plants in my space, mostly because i would like to grow different strains and a "perpetual harvest" style by offsetting each plant, but we'll see.

Currently, my girls are of an unknown strain. I got them from a friend who got them from a friend... I was a bit sketical at first, but now I'm convinced they are pretty legit beans, from a grower, not randomly collected swag-bag seeds. So far (over 4 grows), of 10 seeds I germinated, all 10 sprouted and all 10 turned out to be females. They all have grown quite identically and definitely all tasted and smelled the same. I ordered white widow and purple kush from a seed bank for my next grow, but also cloned this mystery strain before going 12/12 with this batch because I love it so much!
Anyhow, if you (or anyone else) are interested, I can post pics and after I harvest, comparisons of before and after switching light setup.
I just signed up now after getting caught up following your grow on this thread. It reminded me a lot of mine, and I can't wait to see how this 150w HPS changes the qualities of the harvested buds.

Taken at day 11-13 of flowering (they are sleepin arm!):

Hi maxwell

thanks for reading and watching my posts. I got to say: Female Seeds C99 tastes and smells wonderfull! The high is very nice head high and no couch-lock. Just the way I like it. Eventhough small buds and not so great overall yield, it is the best weed I`ve grown so far (8 strains, 8 plants).
I have thought about trying HPS myself for next grow. It just seems that CFL won`t bring the results that grower wishes for when waiting for these looong 4 months So yeah, I would be interested of seeing your first try / comparison of CFL vs HPS scrog style

Update:

GDP seedlings are now in their smart pots, tent is light sealed in half, and the GSC shit clones are flipped to flower under their 800w 16 COB setup



Surface & ambient temps


cant wait to see what i yield with these beast lights, did a par comparison to a gavita DE 1000w hps so im hoping for some nasty dry weight.

End of day 29. The flower stretch is over, and buds are starting to fill out. Excited to see what this next four weeks brings.

What brand are those four COBS? Thanks

 

[GreenThumbsMcgee]

What brand are those four COBS? Thanks

i do believe that they are the Johnson cob's that you sometimes see advertised on this site...I have talked to SupraSPL (COB GURU, IMO) regarding these lights and he says they are a affordable units, and very efficient. They use cree cobs, and i do believe they use meanwell power supply,
if i am wrong, then these look IDENTICAL to the johnson Cobs...

$549.00, for a 4 cob led. good deal.

They're actually not johnson lghts, i was going to get johnson's lights but i learned they use the cxa chips, GoGreen uses the cxb3070's which is why i chose them @GoGreenLEDs

Hello I'm new to scrog, I was wondering if a month veg time is enough time for 4 plants to fill up a 5x5 tent under a 1k hps?

Hello I'm new to scrog, I was wondering if a month veg time is enough time for 4 plants to fill up a 5x5 tent under a 1k hps?

depends on the type of genetics, growing medium, light distance from canopy, and how high your net is from the pots.

 

[BigDoobie]

Well I'm using air cooled 1k lights and i can get the lights a foot or so away from the plants. I'm using different strains in soil. The net I'm planning to have at 1.5 feet or so. I think a month should be good, I'll find out soon. Thanks.

1.5ft, is that above the pot or from the ground?

 

[BigDoobie]

The pot, I'm not exactly doing scrog you could say. I have a support net I'm going to hang up that I can keep pushing new growth under to spread out the growth. I dont have a height restriction, the net is there more for support I guess you could say. I just need to fill up the tent in that amount of time so I can maximize my yield.

 

[Optic1]

Update 2 weeks out. Co2 crank it up! 1400 ppm co2. Crystal City is poppin on my Reserva Privada Kosher Kush ladies. Everything is stable. Very excited. Kinda like waitin on christmas. Or hopin her husband doesn't come home lol.

 

[714steadyeddie]

Oh yaaaaa

 

[Traplife]

Day 10 since the flip, just stopped tucking branches under a day ago. spread out the COB panels a little more for better coverage on the edges.

I have been under the assumption that is exactly what a scrog is...

Nice work with that canopy Trap. Looks like they'll start crowning soon. Are you gonna shave their undercarriages? Pain in the ass to water all those with that screen on there or you use a wand or something? I'm really interested in building a COB setup for my 3x3 veg tent. Everybody on RIU using them is getting fantastic results as far as efficiency goes. Keep em coming

 

[kachiga]

Hey when you guys switch and do your Scrog battle at the end of it on average how big are your colas? Kind of wondering what length you end up on each stalk?

I want to trim it all under the net but i dont want to stress them, still debating if its worth taking the risk. as far as watering goes it is a bitch. Luckily the tent opens on the opposite side, but i will probably end up buying a small water pump to deal with that problem. Yeah the COBs are honestly pretty sweet tech, these panels are soo much brighter than my friends 800w HPS. But we will see what they can produce, i have a grow thread in my sig if you wanted to check it out!

 

[Traplife]

How are those ladies doing @Abucks ?? I am trying my first coco gkrow and am stoked to see how yours do!
