Fingers crossed that you get them quickly. Are you planning on switching to a local vendor?

Got em today! They all made it safely NOT crushed, wrapped up tightly in a small taped plastic baggie and in a tight roll and then put into this cheap iridescent wallet with a broken zipper. So I immediately placed one on a wet paper towel between saucers and into my closet with a small space heater under it. Hopping for a fast germ.

Hello!Welcome to my 11th waterfarm grow. I haven’t done one in 4 years, but I am very excited to get started again because I have some great new gear!

I will use my 4x2 Gorilla Grow Tent with a feminized Northern Lights.

I got my new VATA
Reverse Osmosis water filtration system yesterday
And my new waterfarm reservoir and clay pebbles yesterday as well. I am currently washing the pebbles off in the shower.

Don't put pebbles in the bottom of the container, they are not needed, and interfere with the uptake of the tube.

Thanks Dusty! Every thing is going well . I had to reset my light timer a few times and watching it for 4 am shut off tomorrow . Pulled 200 ppm from the res after the first night run with the nutes. I’m fine with that strength and she seems to be responding well , very perky and pushing up with energy. bongsmilie

I’m working on these paintings her room. It’s my art studio/grow room.
So she gets a lot of attention. If everything stays on track I will be having a Christmas Harvest!!

Got all my scrog screen materials today. Now I need to design a pattern to paint the wooden frame .
I have had pink and green ones Before.

Here is a picture of my previous scrog screens.

No stickers this time because they end up falling off .

I did my first res change because there was quite a bit of pebble dust in the bottom res and my PPMs creeped to 230.

I got a 3VL on my radar, and will probably picking one up soon. Also for a 4 X 2 tent, I am following along.

Awesome!

Dialed in. This light gives off like no heat....It’s mighty impressive!
She is a very happy little girl right now.

Timber chat room note:
You will want to start conservatively since the COBs are quite powerful and can be operated closer to the plants than HID because they emit little/no IR.We recommend starting at 24-36" above the canopy @ 25-50% output for vegetative growth, gradually lowering the light to 18" above the canopy and 100% output for flowering.Pay close attention to the health of the leaves, especially, as they will be a good guide to how well the plant is tolerating the power.

I am at 36 inches above and at the lowest dial in for light power.
