White Rhino & Exodus Cheese Clones
Day 35 of 12/12
Hi y'all,
Ok day 35 and the ladies are doing fine, thee to five weeks till harvest. Will probably do a staggered harvest, maybe do two to four plants at the recommended date then stagger the rest. I am going to harvest the tops staggered also, chop some tops leaving the undergrowth to mature more.
The ladies have recovered from the heavy pruning I gave them two weeks ago and have taken back off, but of course good ol' Murphy's Law reared it's ugly head and my 400W HPS died. Went out just after light on this past week and the smell of burned wires set me back. Shit I went in to panic mode at that point, opened the box expecting to find something really fucked, but things were fine. So I started looking and found the digital ballast had crashed. So pull all the HPS stuff out and reinstalled my California Light Works SS 400 LED. Have not use it for a number of grows but it is still in good shape.
To help compensate for no longer having the HPS, can't afford a replacement right now, I put in 5-26W soft white 2750 lumen CFL's. I hope this set up does the trick.
My next years Christmas Card, LOL
Just fattening up and being happy. I have not seen any shock from having to change the lights but I am keeping a close eye on it.
Then temperature in the cabinet is about 6 or so degrees higher in the cabinet than with the HPS and cool tube. Half way through today's light cycle and the temp in the cabinet is 83 degrees, it would be about 75 to 77 degree with the cool tube.
Later
