Welcome, I'm the ganjafather and this is my journal/log for my upcoming led grow. I'm replacing a 600w hps setup in a 4x4 tent.
I'm also looking for ideas/suggestions/advice for increasing my yield. I'll be flipping around 2 weeks from this post and I'll keep this updated the whole time.
Strains are both from tga subcool, Jack skellington (jack the ripper x g13) and royal phoenix (urkle x chernobyl) x Querkle. I grew these from seed last grow and these are 1st Gen clones of those plants.
They are in 7 gallon fabric pots, with coco + perlite (60/40). I'm using only dyna gro nutes with foliage pro through the full veg and flower cycle. I will also use some pro tekt and maybe a little mag pro. This will probably be my last go with dyna gro because I want to switch to canna coco, but I want to use up the rest of what I've got first.
My last grow (finished drying and jarred yesterday), I was very unimpressed with the yield, so I've made some major changes for this one. This is my 4th grow, im no expert, but I think I have a good plan for success this time.
The bud quality on the other hand was great. Frosted nugs I've grown yet, and a super pungent lemon/pine smell from both strains.
Here's a couple pics of my finished bud from the last grow:

What I've changed this grow:
- upgraded the 600w hid setup to a 650w cob led setup. There will be 12 cobs total, 36v citi 1212, Gen 5, mix of 2700k and 3000k 80 and 90 cri chips. Running on 3 hlg185h-c1400b drivers. Each rail is about 217w from the wall, for about 650w total.
Here's a pic of the cobs:
- added a portable a/c unit to the room. I had a bad heat issue. I've got insanely hit summers here and temps in the tent last flower got into the 90s a few times. With the switch in lights and added ac, I'm now maintaining 75-80f with lights on.
- topping and LST. I think it's called manifolding. I did none of this last grow, but I've been very aggressive with it this grow. All 4 plant have been topped 3 times (5 days out from last topping), all have multiple main shoots and all will be lolli popped in a few days. Here's a pic of the new girls:
I think these 3 things are going to make a very dramatic improvement on yield this go around. I'll be sure to update this thread as much as I can.
Any suggestions or advice is appreciated! Thanks for dropping in!
