DIY-LED Lemon/Lime strains

pabi · Feb 22, 2016

Hello everyone,

this is my first report on this forum. I just switched from 400 Watt MH/HPI to a DIY LED.
My setup is:

Homebox S (80x80x160cm | 2.6x2.6x5.2")
420 cbm fan with carbon filter
DIY-LED (6 Cree CXB 3950 CD 3500K @1400mh on CPU fans driven by two ELG150-C1400A)
BioBizz AllMix soil
Hesi nutrients

The LEDs draw 344W, I will dimm them down for veg. Dimmed they draw 110W.

I put the seeds in the soil today, there are:

5 Super Lemon Haze
5 Special Lime Haze
3 Lemon Skunk
3 Bonus seeds (No idea what strain)

In the past I've done nine plants in 11L pots, I'm thinking of switching to 16x7L, depending on how many seeds make it.

Question and comments are always welcome!

Are 7 L really a good idea? I am also planning to do my first grow ever in the following week. What i have read around so far 2-3 gallons is the minimum to avoid root problems. But correct me if i am wrong. Have been browsing the forum the last week a lot. This is actually my first post. So hello to all

How did the plants do in 11L pots? I have a 40cmx40cmx120cm grow tent, trying to figure out what pot/pots to get. Did you grow 9 plants before in that grow tent? I have read another guys Journal with the same growing space as you, and he was struggling with 4 plants.

Yes in the past I've alwaus done 9 in 11L, but the Super Lemon Haze streched way to much so the 1.6m wasn't nearly enough. thats why I'm thinkin of going with 16 x 7L.
