California Light Works SS - 275 weed on the cheap...

[horribleherk]

This little light now has its own tent & scrog (2x2) to fit as well as a 2gal. smartbpot , royal gold basement mix & Greenleaf nutrients megacrop the large plant is the one I started this thread with

Damn just read start to finish. Looking mighty fine. Please keep us updated to the end. I may pull one plant from my table and let her grow out like that. Just beautiful.

The big plant was started under this light & later put under my cob light lately I've gotten lazy & prefer the simplified single plant grows this was vegged 55 days this thread kinda got off track but my clone rooted & I've got this tent up & running California light works says this 200 w. light will flower a 3x3 so were gonna find out

I want to put one plant under a light and see if it can replace a table of plants. If close to the same yields that would be sweet. I have just a matter of doing. Hah
Need to read up on your light better. I want to jump into a COB light sooner than later.

The light on the older plant is a johnson cx-6 @ 340 w. In a 3x3 tent California light works just came out with a cob light @ 400w. List $449.00 but if you get on their newsletter list they routinely offer 15% off (about $387.00) there is a lot of options the CLW light is called a solar extreme you want at least 300 w. In a 3x3 400 even better q\b is good too

Just playing it safe feeding megacrop @ 1 gr. Per gal. & dry cal-mag @1\2 gr. per gal. basement mix does have some organic nutrient value as well as coco this is where it differs from tupur as the plant depletes these nutes I'll increase both frequency & strength in my feedings I topped her once already we will see just what this little light can do I'm pretty happy with he overall quality that California light works put into this light I just feel its not up to flowering a 3x3 area with any authority

The original plan was to pair this light up with a water farm & possibly at a later date I might waterfarm\dwc aren't forgiving of hegh heat or less than perfect conditions but if done right also can be the most rewarding

 

[horribleherk]

Megacrop is doing its thing & I'm gonna start on a reservoir , pump , timer & air stone 4 gal. e&f possibly this week as this is a coco based soiless medium I can eventually feed her like hydro

 

[horribleherk]

this is now a waterfarm\ hydro grow

 

[horribleherk]

This is the same strain I have in the water farm so hopefully I get similar results

 

[horribleherk]

Made some changes & a new plant e&f with 7-gal. capacity & training has started upped the smart pot to 3 gal. hoping to fill the screen in the next month California light works has released the solar extreme series light at considerable lower prices they are similar in appearance but have cobs I'm seriously considering on to go side by side with this light j

 

[horribleherk]

same strain in the cob tent by adding the other light I would be adding 200w.which would top the 340 w. in the cob tent but for this grow I'm really curious as to how close to the cob tent I can get

 

[horribleherk]

So far it has been a productive week the E&F is in place & feeding megacrop @3grper gal. & the screen is filling faster than I expected I'm tucking & training daily

 

[horribleherk]

I have a cob light in my other tent & I think watt for watt this little light out performs it I have the same strain & nutes in both tents the comparison is gonna be interesting the price on this little light is a bit steep but quality & function is very good my screen is filling fast hopefully I can flip around Halloween if all goes well

 

[horribleherk]

I've set the timer to feed once daily & I'm pretty happy with the way its working so far

 

[horribleherk]

Things continue to do well & I've topped her longer branches & the shorter ones will play catch up , I'm keeping an eye out for signs of over watering

 

[horribleherk]

as prices on quantum boards get lower I'm thinking at some point I'll get one a friend of mine just got a spider farmer for his 4x4 tent I think its about 460 w. I'm waiting to see how well it performs I'm gonna stay with a 3x3 tent or possibly a 4x2 as its just a lot easier to manage a scrog in these size tents my cob light ( Johnson CX-6) is now outdated by today's standards & no longer made but I happen to like cobs & timber 4vs is on my wish list but pricey here is pics from the cob tent View attachment 4401890

 

[horribleherk]

This is an excellent strain for this grow as it gives good quality finished product , grows good & yields I can't wait to flower her but want to have a nice full screen before I flip as I've found a connection between veg time & final yield

 

[horribleherk]

I apologize for the poor quality of the pics as I broke my I pad sometime back & using a $49.00 tablet to get me by for now

Been busy the last few days but managed to take a drive & grab clones (train wreck -x- cookie monster) from www.darkheartnurserycom they call it pineapple upside down cake so I once again have 2 strains my screen is filling nice people
