until your roots get to the nutes you'll probably have to keep soaking the hydroton a few times a day I've never used it without a drip setup the other thing you'll have to play with is veg time I believe there is a direct connection between longer veg times & larger yields this grow will hopefully prove that for me yeah it's a bit cold for a boat ride when I had my trophy with a cabin/ heat & all the bells & whistles winters were nice but these days I'll take the fireplace & wait for warmer I rate growing right along with fishing

U probably need a heat mat dude, especially this time of year,

I haven't been able to root a clone without it. (I tried like 12 times and failed lol)

lol

I tried cloning this winter without making sure they were warm...it took nearly 6 weeks for 3 clones to make it outside of my dome!

I have 4 more in the dome with bumps.

Im now convinced that low temps impede clones, vegging and flowering.

couldn't agree more, my entire room has been in the low 60's. the veg, flower and cloning dome are all kind of slower growth than summer months. I am getting some beautiful colors off some of my phenos though :)

man that looks so cool so at this point it's silly to ask but I gotta are you happy with timber? Vs a complete factory light?
Definately something you gotta see and get your hand on. It's not hanging or plugged into it's spot yet. I am very happy with the looks, feel, size, etc .

I did hook up the wires, plugged it in and played with the dimmer within a few minutes of opening the box. It was extremely simple just connecting the same colored wires together.

Very bright and a badass light! Frame was simple, $10 angle aluminum, hack saw and I used rivets.

I like how u decide where U want the lights compared to a factory box unit. I love my gogreens but I feel like the cobs are too close together, also gotta consider I'm still learning my own style of growing.

I do know I'm gonna eventually upgrade to a 4x8 tent so I'm gonna do some serious investing.

a 200w dimmable COB bar that covers a 12" x 4' For $300 . Definately has my interest. It's gonna be up to what the ladies like of course :)

their 400w=4 vero 29s in a square & a 4x4 tent just turns me on but as I still have credit left to use up at ledgrowlightdepot I might get the 9 cob Johnson or possibly an amare it depends on how this grow produces before I can fully see how the cx-6 I'm using now performs getting another one of those could be an option for sure

Your light seems perfect for your scrog setup. I was close to buying johnson, all so similar. Wow I didn't know they made a 9 cob fixture, that's badass

Hells ya! Hopefully I'm done lighting the 4x4. 600w should be sufficient
you're a busy man ,I'm envious took a ride to hogan today it's filling up pretty good I'm getting ready to fix the last leak in my downstairs room it's been a labor in progress but can't finish until it dries out so I took the evening off with some of the headband ( what's left of it ) & some horseradish jack cheese & the salmon I smoked right before x-mas a fitting evening to a good winter day plants are doing good I think 2 units & this light is gonna work pretty good so far anyway IMG_0509.JPGIMG_0508.JPG IMG_0507.JPG

Looks great herk! Ya I keep busy for sure, try to keep the plants happy and keep upgrading. From the looks of it your plants are gonna blow up real soon. I drove past you today on a drive to valley springs. I'm loving all the green grass and flooding streams, beautiful place we live at
