Club 315w lec

[gr865]

Finished the harvest this morning, I'm beat, LOL
The first two plants.

Each tray holds one plant. The remaining 4 plants.

Top tray

2nd Tray

3rd Tray

4th Tray


Total wet weight, 4,589 grams @ 20% dry weight should be right at 32 zips. That was my goal for this run, heaviest to date.
Now, if the humidity stays in the 60's and 70's I should be sweating them in plastic bags in about 4 days for around24 to 36 hours then everything will go on the screens for another few day to dry then into the jars for curing.

They look lonely now.


This has been a fun run, learned a lot about running a SCrog and my next will be better.
I will be putting this plant stand on the Lazy Susan for my next run. That will allow me to rotate the plants 180 degrees and not have to strain to work on the back side of the stand. And will still leave them on the rollings so I can move the stand back and forth while being able to rotate it the 180 degrees.

Personally I love your grow! I have done shit just like this, brings back memories. Some of my best work was done in a space just like that.


I don’t use mine for veg, induction and led FTW. I like to sculpt the structure of my plants with the veg lights, slow them, stack them, stretch them, etc.

As far as distance from the light, with a reflector, I wouldn’t get closer than 18” but it seems strain dependent. I like about 18-24 inches 36 seems too far to really get the bud swelling imho.

Thank you!

I think I've done it, reached my sweet spot!

As a Systems Analyst I couldn't accept failure with my first harvest under just the two huds doing open loop and wanted to automate as much as possible/create ideal environment. Ran ICC and katsu kush first time indoors

. Now In Wk 3 veg Gelato #41. Horizontal scrog 10 x 6 x 9 atrium Aircooled hids from master bedroom, 5 x 8 x 8 vertical scrog bare bulb x3 315w cmh , 5 x 5 x 8 cool tube 315 cmh and two 250w viaspectra IR/full spec lens.

open to any critiques, queries,

Hybrid Loop System 1300 cu ft running co2, trolmaster, 315w cmh x 4 , 1k watt hids x2

Thanks to all RIU members for sharing in your wisdom, knowledge, and experience ‍

You amaze me bro!

Congrats, sorry I've been mia , spent too much time and money to optimize my 10 x 6 x 8 horizontal and 5 x 8 x 8 vertical and 5 x 5 x 8 bathtub.

Which medium do you prefer? Fo you defoliate Wk 1 and wk 3 veg? I accidentally yesterday broke 4 lower tips/heads during wk 3 veg as I tried to weave new growth after weaving initial two wks in vertical construction screen , I think from now on gonna use sift ties instead if weave new growth.


I thought growing craft cannabis was supposed to be relaxing but I've had my hands full and feel the lower back pain of constant bending over working canopy

I was thinking of replacing my single vertical bare bulb 600w hps with two bare bulb vertical 315CMH but I hear the bulbs are more prone to exploding than the regular HPS. Anyone been running these bulbs bare and vertical for a long period of time without issues??

315 CMH Phillips should be open-rated. The old 400W CMH Retrofit's were not, however. Should be fine to go bare vertical with the new ones.

My Nanolux 315W CMH NA run the bulb vertical even in the horizontal position with reflector on the unit. I and remove the reflector and run the two of them vertical with no issues.

UV protection would be a must.

Old Retrofit are “open rated” and have always been, it was part of the whole marketing strategy. I now use one as LEDs UV and IR supplement. Last bulbs made March 2013. I used them a lot for about 5 years. 4000k

The Phillips retrofits (not made anymore) were open rated but the currently available GE 400W CMH retrofits are NOT. Just wanted to clarify that.

315's are superior and the way to go these days.

New guy here! Did my first two grows under LED, but recently was given a 630w CMH fixture, currently running it with one bulb at 315w.



So far, the single bulb has been great since I'm only using about 3x3 of my 4x4. But later, when I run more plants or just fill the space better, I'll raise the fixture & add the second bulb.

 

[1littlesoldier1]

Ok thx. Didnt even know they made 400W CMH ballast/bulbs. Anyways, anyone care to point me to the right ballast with the right bulb. So far I seen 2 threads with the phillips bulb exploding and causing fires

 

[1littlesoldier1]

and that was last year

 

[GrownAtHighAltitude]

Got any links for those threads? Geez... sounds bad

400w cmh/cdm requires a standard magnetic hps ballast.

i run ushio 3000k and sunmaster full nova 3100k for flower.
with some cobs and leds for boost

Have 3 hanging right now, no issues except don't order from hydrobuilder. Bulbs come cracked and 'loose ' sounding. Just make sure to have a hair cut, try and go in lights off beanie green light to avoid eye contact or any burns. No problem with bulbs exploding even if I lightly bump when off navigating my 5 x 15 bare bulb 315 vert scrog grow. Wk 3 flower

Would a 630 lec cover a 5x5 space sufficiently?
