That sucks man, i cant imagine watching my mrs not feeling well, stay strong bro, hopefully it will pass soon and she will begin to feel like herself again.


Happier note: 54 elbows holla!!!!

So I put plants in for the next round and had a few buckets that cracked where the grommet goes in. I was either stuck with leaky drain line system or find a fix. I grabbed a spray can of flex seal and it fixed the leaks! lol good shit!

Yeah, add in the extra plants that weren't in the trellis rigs and I was just a hair shy of 60.

So this would be run 3 of this thread. For this run the plant count is now at 74 so I can blow it up. lol So totally disregard the thread title.

Room A (day 9 of 12/12)


Room B (night before day 12 of 12/12)


When I learned of my increased plant count I decided to take all my mother plants and extra plants and put them in room A. So row 1 has a glue, kandy kush and a lemon skunk. Row 2 has 3 purple punches (two really tall ones between the lights lol) and a do-si-dos. Row 3 has two wedding cakes and a durban poison. There are two triple novas at the end of the walkways and my girl has a wedding cake in there on wheels.

In room B I put all 12 of the glues that I had going for next run, 4 per row. There is a durban poison and a triple nova and a divine gelato #3 at the ends of the walkways and my girl has a durban poison in there on wheels.

So there are 29 plants in flower, I could run up to half my count in flower so 37 plants is my cap before adding my girls plants.

Anyways folks, enjoy the ride lol. What say for all plants we set a goal of 60 total and see what we can do with the mixed strains on a hot summer run. Summer runs are always a little lighter for me so hitting 60 total would be stellar IMO.

Holy shit some of those plants are already to the ceiling! This is gonna be a beast run.

Yeah I may have some height issues lol. I have the lights dimmed too. Trying to slow that stretch a little.

I should also note that I treated the purple punches with optic foliar switch / transport on day 7 and will do so again on day 17 as she tends to make two or three seeds per plant. Mixed up 500mL and it was more than enough for those plants so I went ahead and hit a few others. I have found in the past that this stuff helps if you have a plant that likes to make bananas.

So here we go folks, down the LED rabbit hole! I am going to build my own LED lights for the daytime room (B). Looked at the Timbers and looked at DIY. The DIY won.

Each light built to replace a DE HPS at 1150 watts will consist of:

12 x Luminous CXM-22 Gen 4 3500k 90 CRI
3 x Meanwell HLG-240H-54B

Lights will be dimmable.

DC Watts = 720
AC Watts = 760

So the individual cobs will be driven at 60 watts each so they will run more efficient producing more light and I will get more even coverage than say 9 cobs at 80 watts each.

Here is a chart comparing some different cobs to the CXM-22 Gen 4.

This is the reason that we chose this chip. Thanks to @CobKits for help designing the light setup and for a great deal on the parts for 6 of these lights.

74 count , plants hitting ceilings , led builds, this next run is gonna have it all lol

How are you gonna grow? i assume some changes will need to be made somewhere, either space or style?

your gonna need a bigger boat if you wanna grow 74 trees like you have been up until now lol

So you planning to sog or expand? lol

Definitely not going sog, that would require way to many plants. I will keep doing the rows but run 3 or 4 plants per row instead of 2. That will reduce veg times and watering frequency in the 10 gallon buckets. Right now I have 4 glues per row in room B. I am having to water less often and thats great lol.

I do hope that the LED lights perform as well as the one did in my tent, it's a gen 4 cob and my tent is gen 3. I think that driving 720 watts I should do pretty well I just have to get the cob spacing right. I will buy an Apogee light meter and use that to help design the rig to tune cob spacing. Should be a good time. I will make a thread for the light build when I get underway. Right now I am gathering parts. Don't have much space around here but I will setup a folding table in the family room, that will make my girl happy. lol

Considering the aluminum T Channel for the framework, it's a little pricey but I could make the row spacing adjustable if I want. Maybe on the first rig and once I get the spacing tuned I will build the others cheaper with aluminum angle. We will see, depends on the price difference. I have a pop rivet tool handy so putting together a frame out of angle would be easy peasy.

Updated strain list, I know I am missing a few but this off the top of my skull:

Animal Face (Best of 4 packs)
Blue Cookies (Clone Only Breeder Cut)
Candy Rain (shotgunning now)
Divine Gelato #3 (Breeders Cut)

Yes it is and my buddy is telling me this is just scratching the surface, more coming. And then he has his bean collection, I have a pack of his candy rain beans in the tent doing a little pheno hunt. When I get my commercial building in Colorado put up he and I are gonna shotgun hundreds of packs of rare dankness. He is gonna bring his bean collection over and I am going to catalog it into the computer, he has so many premium packs it's retarded. He just snagged a couple packs each of some new stuff that Capulator just dropped 33 packs of worldwide, McNasty and McStomper.

I know Motor Breath 15 & White Cookies are on the way any minute. His friend has been collecting and keeping true old school strains for a long ass time and we have access to anything we want from him as well, here is the list he sent:

Shits about to get really interesting around here with my new plant count and my girls plant count we can do 98 lol.

Took a panoramic shot of the veg room for shits and giggles, it came out pretty good. Got some mothers, clones for the next run, some for a buddy and some are new strains.

Man I'm hkad I found your thread
