2x 4mm open feed lines per pot (16 total) running off a 13mm main line, and 19mm drainage hoses from each pot.

Awesome man, I was debating adding a tee for better water spread or another line per bucket.

I'm on 2x4 flood tables. 3/4inch drain lines connected together to a single waste bucket.

Feed line is a 386 gph pump to a 3/4 hose with a plug at the end. Then 1/4 inside diameter hose to each pot

18 total, all blueberry clones :) very excited .

Ive been topping and IL be lollypoping and defoliating pretty hard throughout the Grow to save space and hopefully make one monster fucking cola per plant like your pic..

I think I'm about 8" off the tops with the frames turned down to 200w each (400w total) now. I've got a pretty even spread of light, so it makes sense to keep them low but turned down a bit. I'm going to end up with a few bleached tips, but the damage was done early and the rest of the buds are looking good. They're dense as fuck. It's turned out to be a descent summer grow, considering daily temps in the low-high 30s (C) and overnight in the high teens and early 20s.

I need to take some photos soon, as I'm probably going to start harvesting tomorrow or Monday, one plant a day over the next week. The two Sensi Stars are probably about two weeks away, while all the Acids except one are ripening at a similar rate. The last Acid will go at least another week. They're all 8 weeks from yesterday.

How much area at 400 w? Very nice. I may be dropping my 16 3590's. I need enough for ~15 sq ft.

Yes. And there were eight plants, or one per sqft. If I get a lb from my first LED grow I'll be happy.

. I'm very excited haha

Their two weeks old now from cloner to coco. I'm debating topping them one more time before the flip.. But they are blueberry so I think their going to be bushy

Looking forward to your schnazz cross.

The original schnazz was some of my favorite smoke.Great plant,nice structure with great buds.I have #3 but she is much more sativa growing and has at least 2 more weeks on the flowering end.But i can say that as just like the first schnazz her terps are very unique.Have not had the #2.

i have 3590's active fan/sink [love active..=air movement too]
without lenses and pretty much 6" from the canopy...16 sqft.
i am seeing bud size improving.. and no burnt tops12 @50w each on basically 4 x 4 frame

You might like the #2, as it's pretty much 3/4 DJ Short Blueberry from two different generational fathers. The Swiss Bliss mother has just the nicest sativa high - not so much hazey as clear and euphoric.

Any, here's a pic of the last Sensi Star to get the trim, and it's now curing in my jars. It turned out very nice, completely covered in trichs with a nice pine-menthol flavour. Even though Sensi Star is mostly indica, the ones I grew out were definitely sativa phenos. This one's a keeper for now. It yielded over 3oz. I ended up with 523g for the entire 400W grow, so not too bad for a first run. Most of the plants were around 2oz with a few up to and over 3oz.

How's it going Mr. Connery. How long did you dry these monsters before you weighed them? 523g in a 2x4' tent is amazing no matter what wattage. I bet your already have the wheels turning on how to squeeze more from your setup.

It's summer here, so most of the plants took three days or so to dry before they went into jars to cure. They obviously get better with the cure.

Keepers are Acid #1 and Sensi Star #2. I have clones of each running at the moment with the Swizzelberry, as well as another Acid plant that didn't get a run last time.

Changes to the system include improved drainage (19mm hoses) and better exhaust to keep the heat down - though the weather is starting to cool off now. I've also topped the new plants a bit more aggressively to see if I can get a more even canopy and I won't be pushing the nutrient so hard this grow.

There's not that much more I can do in the space I have except introduce a bit of UV at some point.

Tall! I'll try to get a pic up soon, but in the mean time the Schnazz came from the same stock as the plant on the left of this photo (and bottom). This is obviously my old HPS vertical set-up. The Schnazz x Swiss Bliss I have growing at the moment are stretching like bastards. This was never a problem with my vertical grows, but I'm starting to run out of head room in my horizontal LED grow. The Swiss Bliss mother, despite being mostly sativa, was a fairly compact plant that likes to branch out, so I can only presume my cross is Schnazz (Blueberry) dominant.

More Swizzleberries (actually, the same ones)

Swizzleberries at the back, and an Acid in front.

Acids and Sensi Stars on their second run. I've kept one Sensi Star and two Acids from either end of the spectrum (1x indica pheno, 1x sativa pheno).

You can see I've gone a bit easier on the nutrient this time, and with the LEDs running at 200w each, there's no real bleaching.

The three Swizzleberries are looking nice and quite uniform. However one has a very sweet strawberry smell like its mother (Swiss Bliss), while the other two have more of the hashy-Blueberry flavour of the father (Schnazzleberry #2).

Acid#1 has quite a lucid sativa high that creeps up on you before mellowing out with a bit of indica body. It's dreamy but functional weed. Excellent daytime smoke. Also yielded highest at 3oz last grow

Acid#3 is most of the above without the peakiness and with a bit more body stone. It's nice in the evening and is good for back pain. In fact, Acid as an overall strain seems good for pain, though the high only lasts an average length of time. This one yielded a bit less at 2oz, but finished more than a week earlier.

Sensi Star#2 has a strong indica base but with more sativa in this pheno. It just gets you fucking high. This one has an oily menthol flavour and is quite sticky. I still prefer the real indica Sensi Star pheno, but this one was the best out of two decent plants.

The plan is to keep growing various strains looking for different types of high at each extreme.
