MarsHydro FC-3000 grow

[bk78]

I'm getting ready to increase my power up from25% to about 35-40% what do you think? View attachment 5022092

Your leaves are pointing down and plants don’t look happy. I wouldn’t be raising the power of the light at all.

Raise it a little,leave power as is.See what they say.

Edit to add it appears close? But yeah 25% is very little.I run 45% at 24"

I would echo this.

My light height hasn’t moved at all during this grow all I’ve done is adjust power as they grew.

That plant is looking nice I'm working on getting a hard floor in my tent then a scrog I've got a little time still

 

[jondamon]

Last night during reservoir refill I topped up and made the reservoir up in EC to 1.2.

feeds are running every 3 hours during light cycle and every 4 hours during dark cycle.
Light cycle 8pm-8am

Daily this is giving me 5L of runoff from an 8L pot of coco.

each 1 minute feeding gives approx 750ml of runoff.

when I increased my EC the only thing I did was add more of the A/B formula I’m using.

I will try and post more pics later.

I’m done with weaving the plant into the scrog as i want a bit more growth above the screen this time.

plant looks healthy, is growing vigorously and soon I will be trimming up and thinning out the plant a little more as the foliage is very very dense in there AGAIN! Lol.

Sunday night update.

picture dump including my walk In closet grow and storage area.

I’ve been thinking about this storage area and during the course of the next few weeks I’m going to remove everything I don’t need in this area.

then I will assess the spacing left and see if I can’t work out what to Do with it even it’s just a small seed starting setup.

How do you like my makeshift intake blocks lol. Bags with elastic bands lol. Does the trick and didn’t cost £15 like I was planning to spend on ducting end caps. Lol.

Temp 25C/22C
my gauge is just out of sight on the right hand side in an ambient area.
RH 45-55% (VPD blah blah blah. I don’t pinpoint VPD before anyone chimes in with it lol)

EC1.2 pH6.0
@MarsHydrofactory

 

[jondamon]

Stretching is easing now and plant is filling in very nicely. Not performing any more Tucking etc of the scrog.

even with the @MarsHydrofactory FCE-3000 on around 80% the canopy is still lovely and green without any deficiency symptoms.


EC1.2 pH6.0
Feeding now every 4hours for 1 min flood and feeding once during the dark cycle as I was getting 5L of runoff per day which is a little excessive for an 8L pot.

 

[jondamon]

Watch this space I will be thinning out the plant tonight.

Will take before and after pics to show everyone.

 

[jondamon]

Before.



the after I will most likely post during the weekend as I’m dedicating some time to trimming this bush lol.

@MarsHydrofactory

 

[horribleherk]

That is a very healthy plant to say the least mars hydro working its mojo

 

[jondamon]

Still haven’t done any thinning out, crisis with my mother at the weekend where she ended up in the Accident and Emergency department for well over 12 hours.

Will hopefully get chance to do it this week.

day 18 of 12/12

 

[jondamon]

Approx 3 weeks of 12/12 now under the @MarsHydrofactory FCE-3000.

I’ve increased airflow under the canopy and may or may not strip anything. Not sure yet. Lol.

EC 1.2 pH6

I’ve increased feeding frequency to every 3 hours during lights on as the runoff has been reducing over the last few days and I’d like to achieve a little more. One feed during the dark cycle.
