this is my second led light & I kinda took a chance on it in spite of not agreeing with their claim that it can flower a 3x3 I'm more in agreement with it being a replacement for a 400 hps which is why I bought it & I actually wanted blurple it is going into a 3x3 tent & a 28x28 Scrog with a single homemade dwc & dripper I'll more than likely be growing purple city genetics doubledream or kingklonebrand super sour'd which I'm waiting to get larger before it can go under the led I'm just gonna play it by ear as I get things ready to go everything is here I'm working on building a ceiling & a wall hopefully by this weekend I can put things together I won't be using the clw controller I'm using my own timer & trying to keep it simpleIMG_2131.JPGIMG_2132.JPG IMG_2133.JPG

I'm hoping to get the tent up in the morning & the super sour'd is slow at coming around it's looking like my ol' standby doubledream is gonna be the strain of choice doing some routine maintenance to my dwc bucket doubledream is the plant on the left IMG_2170.JPG

A big part of the reason I wanted to do the journal so people could see them first hand.
I'm glad you did I put my tent up & test fired the light I bought this light with the intention of replacing my 400w. hps @ 1/2 the operating cost I'm sure I'm gonna accomplish that goal & with replacing the 400 that means replacing the 24x24 flower area my personal opinion is this light will veg a 3x3 but have no intention of flowering a 3x3 Scrog my Scrog is 29x29 but as with the 400 I'll use 24x24 of that I've got exhaust fan to install & minor details to address & were almost ready to kick this off my wild turkey family visited this morning they have the neighbors cat cornered in the ditch lol...IMG_2179.JPGIMG_2180.JPG IMG_2177.JPG

I'm really wanting to grow this super sour'd & she has started putting out roots it wasn't the healthiest clone but the only one of that strain they had & im thinking this is the one I'm going to run I'm going to make my decision Sunday night because the doubledream is larger & healthier but I really want this sour'd-x-og kush cut for my growIMG_2183.JPG IMG_2181.JPGIMG_2184.JPG

Holy cow that doubled in size from yesterday!!!!
once you get to this stage they take off having a developed root system helps when I put them in the basket I dangle them in the basket & carefully pour cool wet hydroton around them very gentle like I have a phobia about handling roots if this rate of development holds for a few more days I'm gonna run this strain

Nice top drop how did you make that exactly? Anything else going on inside the pvc?
the rising air bubbles push oxygenated nutrient up the pipe gives reliable drip without drowning the seedling ill post the whole breakdown it's so simple you'll laugh been playing with variations for about a year this one works best out off the ones I've made I'll post a diagram & pull it apart

That's an airlift style pump right? Excellent idea.
