Hey Shlub - should I be concerned about the burnt tips on my plants even though they look healthy otherwise? My line of thinking is that the soil might be right on the cusp of being too hot at this point, and the plants might be taking up just a tad more nutes than they should be. I’d like to...

Don’t forget lower utility bills. You don’t run them at 700 watts the whole time. PGT recommends a light spectrum intensity schedule. It’s strain dependent. Plus lower heat, means lower AC bills.

Yeah I am really enjoying them. My grow experience up until this point has been large scale warehouse with gavitas. Plants look so much happier in full spectrum.

The Spydr’s don’t have spectral tuning. I can adjust the intensity of red, pure white, and blue white spectrums individually with these. All the spydr has is a dimmer.

I paid 1400 each. Bought 4. They’re amazing so far.

Day 32. Biochem has absolutely exploded. Cookiepuss (see last post) is lagging behind a bit with regards to fattening up, but it is rumored that this is normal genetic expression and that she’s a “late bloomer”.

Things are getting frosty. Day 26.

looking pretty damn healthy midway through week 3

Beginning of week 3. Added second layer of trellis. May eventually need a 3rd for the Chemdawg cross in the back! Following PGT’s recommended lighting schedule this go around to see how the strains behave. Next cycle, I’ll definitely be messing with the red spectrum during initial flower weeks...

The planters are geoplanters. I did build the 4x8 rolling platforms they’re on though. I can literally slide the whole soil mass and trellis all over the room with minimal effort. 2 4x4 oil drum pallets sourced locally from used pallet yard, 2 pressure treated 4x4’s, 2 pressure treated 2x4’s...

Day 11. Tips on everything are still looking a little yellow, but other than that everything is smooth sailing.

Haha my second flower room has a full bed of soil with cover crop coming in. Not letting that happen again. Full strength it is. Will use the full plantless pots as my humidity source for keeping my clones healthy a while8)

I would frame up a small sealed room. Fuck the venting IMO. Sealed room, adequate cooling/heating/rh, supplement co2. Total control. I run ductless mini splits by pioneer. If the installation is out of reach, buy yourself a solid rolling ac unit. If you run LED’s like me, you’ll need heating as...

Running coots mix with 1/3 EWC plus 5% biochar by mass. Was a little hot and/or imbalanced initially for my clones in my current bed, but that’s probably because it hadn’t cooked enough due to low ambient temps. Going to be vegging some mothers soon in 20 gal fabric pots. Wondering if I should...

Yeah they’ve really exploded. Time to start supplementing co2 lol. They’re bringing the levels down to 500/600 by end of lights on. Girls are growing big time.

Today. Week 2 Day 1. Bending and tucking and bending and tucking.

Luckily the chem/Sensi cross is super vigourous and I was able to train the lanky branches under the trellis to fill the gaps in the canopy the dead girls left behind. This pic was the day before I flipped the room, 2/10/19.

The girls were very ill for the first few weeks. My impatient, obsessive mind spent hours upon hours posting pictures and scouring the net trying to figure out why these once healthy clones were dying. CO2 level were hovering around 4,000 PPM after the room was sealed for 6 hours or so. This...

Now that things are moving along in a seemingly positive direction after resolving a few hiccups, I have decided to post a new thread for progress reasons. Specs: 7’6” x 11” sealed room 4x8 Geoplanter on pallet caster platform 2 x Progrowtech EV700 Full Spectrum LED’s 12k BTU Pioneer Mini Split...

Some of them didn’t recover. I tossed 5 of them. The far side only has 4 plants in it, in an L shape formation. I’ve trained the branches to fill the back left corner.
