They’re Meijiu, just branded them with a name for fun and sell them at cost price to my grow buddies. Will make a video with a umol meter to show what kind of ppfd I’m getting around the room.some!they look legit too, nice. what are the panels? "canopee" something.
do you have a light meter? how much head room?
what kinda grows did you work in?
From table to light it’s about 6’1, might have to dim the lights when the ladies come in on the first few days.
This is my first grow ever, beside guerilla grows in my younger days. But I know a little about weed and I read up on RIU alot lol, wish me luck

Dimming the lights are my main issue right now, since I ordered from 4 different manufacturers before to test before actually buying the rest of the lights, so I will have to manually dim some of them or just keep them off completely. I’m doing bloom only, getting my babies about 2 feet tall and flower them right away, so won’t need to dim too much for too long. Just don’t want to stress them with a gazillion umol all at once still.ahhhh i seee, Meijiu huh! surprising! diodes look legit which is more than i can say about another firm im not gonna mention cough* AMARE cough* anyhoooooo

I’m getting this strain: https://www.artiva.ca/products-services/aimie
In “teens” as I mentioned, ready to flower. They’re coming in on Monday the 13th. Still some work to do.

Oh and as for leaf temp I’m trying to stay as much as possible in VPD range, following the Fluence recommendations. I also need to figure how many times a day I want to water, since it’s all automated I want to keep it as optimized as it can be!ahhhh i seee, Meijiu huh! surprising! diodes look legit which is more than i can say about another firm im not gonna mention cough* AMARE cough* anyhoooooo

In total, including a smaller room I’ll be able to put 32 lights at this spot, all bloom, excited!

How is your climate running with plants inside, temps/rh? Watch out especially for rh increase at lights out.

RH is set to 55% temp is 24c and is co2 is 1250ppm. I’m hooking up my Pulse sensor today to see how the RH moves at night, that’s one of my main concern.

You don't need nor want RO water unless you have bad water. It's very wasteful to use as well.Yup the Jacks 3-2-1 is what I will eventually go for, but on the first run atleast I'm going to stick to something idiot-proof. I have alot to think of and really don't want to mess this up. And FYI I work with commercial growers in the same building as mine, they're here to hold my hand the whole way thru, except they're old school and hand water their plants and use HPS. I wanted the new toys
My water won't me RO (yet), eventually I will get there. as for treillis I need to figure out a way to set them, from the wall it's not an issue but at the end of the tables I'm still wondering how I'm going to do it. Will definitely prune alot and keep them clean.
Thanks for the tips, that's exactly the kind of info I'm looking for!
The big grower friends may be able to help with allot of the set-up but when it comes to being under Led, chances are they wont be much help in the deficiency dept. Though. If it occurs. I have tried several different high money bottled nutes & the all lacked the Magnesium needed to grow healthy under leds. Adding Epsom helped. But a room of different strains lead to inconsistencies, some unhappiest with others doing awesome.
They all say Jacks for a good reason. I found out after being stubborn for a long time. Most inexpensive solution I've ever encountered with the best results I've ever had.
Nice + Shiny spot you get there!. Low ceilings it looks so good choice in style of lights a long as you can dim them individually.
Nice work!
The air in & out should kick on at lights out for that, venting several or a few times during lights out. De-hu backs it up though..
Vent out through a large scrubber on the opposite side of the room as the air-intake (which is screened + filtered) which i would draw from a different part of the house/garage that has environmental control rather then outside (too much pollin ect..) & its nice to draw in the cooler air that is not much higher then 50% humidity.
That quick system with x2 , 6" fans or 8" on a timer is a key factor to not stinking up the place & having fresh air replacing stale air, controlling the large swing at lights out.
De-hu usually can be off during lights on or set to 60/65%. I have 1 de-hu do that & the other is on a timer set to come on at lights out. Opposite ends of the room & utilize just x2 HomeDepot, self-pumpinng Dehumidifiers.
Or if you have one large, nice De-Hu like you posted then having it automatically switch from 65% (or your target) to 50% at lights out is all you'd do.

Listen to hybridway your tap water is fine especially if your in coco. My well water is same ec as your tap and its worked great for over 20yrs for me. Never used cal mag. Get a VPD chart and set rh with it , environment is way more important than which fertilizer, or snake oil supplement you use.

Funny you guys are saying that I actually sent back the RO system to the store after realizing that it would be too much logistic to fill up the 1000L bin with RO water since I’m not always there and I try to automate everything as much as I can.
I’m trying to stay in the VPD as much as I can but it’s really not easy setting and keeping temps and RH.

Really hoping to get 2lb+ per light on my first run, that would be a nice achievement
My main concern is the distance between the lights and the plants, I would need to get alot closer to get more of the umol goodness. Next run I'll veg them for 1 more week

did you check light levels? you'll be able to hit em hard with all that Co2. i reckon you'll hit 2 given the genetics are there.Really hoping to get 2lb+ per light on my first run, that would be a nice achievement

youve clearly been around canna a while...this "first run" thing...you mean this is your first run that you own? you seem to have it down. previous work under HPS?
my first was in a leaky damp pool pump room... under flouros and the only thing that survived were the aphids
ha!

I’ve been around weed alot yes, but never really grew it. I’ve learned to grow in the last few months by talking to buddies and hanging around here and reddit, lots of reading.did you check light levels? you'll be able to hit em hard with all that Co2. i reckon you'll hit 2 given the genetics are there.

yeah I’ve checked light levels they’re okay but not great, too far from the light source and they won’t stretch much more. Co2 is still pumping at around 1300 ppm
