Hi,
Thought I'd share a grow with everyone here since I've been on here and learned so much. There's going to be a few haters with using PGR's but i only grow what they want me to.
Here are some pointers to know.
About the room
Size is 12ft by 16ft
Room is split into 2, one smaller room to house the ballast and electronics, nutrients, clones.
Room has no aircon running for this grow, so it gets pretty hot! 100f easily some days, some nights get chilly too very cold with 70% RH ! i'm not kidding! In summer i usually have an evaporative/swamp cooler.
Environmental control
Using an arduino with temp/humidity/pot weight plotter (dont have it all hooked up atm because my webcam timelapse takes too much cpu power). Computer controls my evaporative cooler in the summer.
About the Lights
Currently testing 1500w of LED this grow (CXB3590's) and hopefully for future grows going all LED. Have a mixture of 600HPS, 600MH, 400HPS. There is 2 HPS hung vertically without reflectors, and 1 with a reflector.
All ballasts, LED drivers are in a seperate room.
About the plants
Bought the plant off a stranger they call "The Butcher" apparently its a 7w finisher with massive yields. I veg 3-4 weeks and flower 7-8. Currently they're at day 40. Most of the photos are taken today (day 40 12/12). I expect 13+ from them but we'll see.
Nutrients
I'm using all house and garden without shooting powder (using dry koolbloom instead). I haven't flushed the coco ever yet as i'm using half strength. As you see in the photos, the only leaves with a bit of nute burn are the ones under the hot bulbs. The LED's seem to be going great! no major problems at all. Althought i'll definitely be feeding just water soon.
Also have a lot of dry leaves from direct fan.
Anyway, thought I'd share for the admirers as well as haters out there.
